Since it has become known that Pader-
ewski is contemplating writing another
opera he has begun to have some idea
of the number of gentlemen in this
country who would like to supply him
with a libretto. AS a matter of fact
Paderewski's plans for successor to
"Manru' are very vague, and it might
just as well be known that during his
tour of this country he has no time
whatever In which to read any manu-
scripts that may be submitted to him.
He has a libretto which Is the work of
Catulle Mendes, the French litterateur.
1t treats of the old Hindu legend Of
"Sakuntala," but Mr.. Paderewski has
gotten no further than to make some
preliminary and tent-tive sketches, and
he is in doubt whether he will do any
thing with 1t. His chief desire is to
finish the symphony which he has had
in hand for the last year, and this will
be his first work when he returns to
Switzerland next summer.

aging editor of this two-by-four organ is
due to our being run out of Frisco and
to our prececessors being run out of Nir-

tudes of life and does not give any carp
ing critic the right to indulge in cap
tious comment, unless he is a better
shot than ourself."
With this as an introduction and a
claim for attention the most refreshing
example of what may be accomplished
or left undone in modern newspaperdom
appeared yesterday in the second issue
of the Virgin Valley Feeler, county fair
edition. 1t is issued by the Jonathan
club for the big jinks Saturday night.
The objects sought to be accomplished
by the publication are numerous, judged
by reading it's columns. which are filled
with criticisms and by plays on men and
things, the reading of which carries one
back to the old days of the Arizona
Kicker and the Arkansaw Traveller.

nounces the editor, William Hay An
derson; I'VE take your subscription; you
take a chance.
But the principal theme to which the
Feeler applies its columns is the pend
ing election for mayor of Virgin Valley,
and as the paper, by it's own declaration,
is non-political, non-religious and with
out morals it takes full opportunity to
lay bare the peculiarities of the three
candidates.

sacrifice ito his customary pleasures.
N. f. Hirtz announces himself as the

Hirtz is a dentist and says if he is not
elected he can still pull teeth
George Easy Money Pillsbury an
nounces his candidacy with a whoop.
His motto is "Open the throttle and
crowd on the steam,' and his campaign
directors can be seen between drinks.
A patent adjustable poem is printed,
proving the papers non-partisan atti-

Wheatley is polecat;
Pills pizen pup;
