There is lever SO much hustle
and rustic in an agricultural community
as in n devoted exclusively to manu-
featuring, mining, wholesale interests,
or something of that nature. Vast
fortunes are seldom made under the
first named conditions, while they are
not uncommon under the other. But
to the average man the steady grind
of the agricultural section is the most
steady and satisfactory. There is al
ways a certain amount of money in cir.
culation, there is always a demand
for its products at some price. Such
is not the case in other districts. At
the approach of a financial cloud labor
is discharged shops closed, and every
thing brought to a standstill. We
are reminded of this by a card from
our brother in Seattle and the state
ment that Tight money is felt here
and plenty of men laid off for winter"
There seems to be the best OF rea-
sons for anticipating the appearance
of "A Mad Love-, at the opera house
next Monday, Dec. 10th, a Comedy
Drama of more than ordinary interest
and merit. While the plot is not com
plicated, itis interesting and amusing,
and serves to introduce a capable com
pany in bright songs, pleasing dances,
attractive costumes, and appropriate
scenic effects. Miss Beatrice Terry
with her delightful songs, has every
where been the signal for storms of
applause. George d. Sweet is a com
edian quite out of the ordinary, and
the supporting company areall cast in
congenial roles. Manager Sweet dis
played much care and good Judgment
not only in selecting the company, but
in the manneri in which the production
is staged and costumed, 81 that our
Amusement lovers may safely look for
ward to plenty of fun and a musical
trea. next Monday night.
At seven O'Clock on Wednesday
