in Double Bill.


The Aborn Opera Company, in a double
bin at the New National Theater last
evening, added another wreath to their

caught the popular fancy TO a degree
heretofore unapproached IN local theatrl-
calls during supplementary season.
The performance OF the Gilbert & Sui

who laughed and applauded just as

Miss Wentworth, who has been identified
previously with only light operate parts,
surpassed the expectations nj even her
stanchest admirers, in the singing Of one
ol the most difficult and tragic roles in
the musical gallery. She was In fine voice
and won round after round Of applause

Mormons, who are emigrating from
Holland to Utah. passed through here
this afternoon In charge of deacon
of the church who went to Europe
several months ago to organize the
colony. The party will include men,
women and children, who have accep-
ted the Mormon faith and are being
taken to Utah where they will be given
an opportunity TO invest In valuable
farm land.
For several years similar colonies
have been passing through Canon City

QUEER WAY OF REGAINING
RETURN OF TRUANT HUSBAND

The troubles of NJ. c. Maxwell. the
ken back to Oklahoma Wednesday by
Sheriff Wooden of Newkirk. were the
result OF a young wife's foolishness.
When Maxwell started west several
have been also his banker. advanced
him hundred dollars on which to
travel.
After he had decided To stay In the
West, he wished his wife to come to
him. but she preferred to stay in Ok
lahoma. Thinking to make her anxi-
Gus to see him Maxwell ceased writing
those little epistles that keep alive the
spark OF love. but he seems to have
awakened the green eyed monster.
His wife decided to have her hubby
home again and made the complaint
of embezzlement Offering a reward of
s25 for the arrest of her recreant
spouse.
When the young man was arrested.
he telegraphed his wife his predica-
ment. not knowing that she was res
ponsible for his trouble.
At the train, Just as Sheriff Wooden
was leaving for Canon City. the wife
appealed to him TO stop proceedings.
But the sheriff told her that 1t was
not possible to stop at that stage of
the game. He had his ticket bought
and stamped, the officers in Canon
City looked TO him for the reward and
the offence charged was very grave,
SO he would have to proceed as the
law directed.
On the way he received a message
from Mrs. Maxwell saying that she
would meet them at Wichita on their
journey.
The sheriff remarked before leaving
Canon that 1t was not likely there
would be any prosecution; he expected
that the wife would have the charges
withdrawn by the time he reached
home with her husband.
