A Cold Reception.

Perhaps the coolest reception ever
given a theatrical troupe upon their
appearance in this town was given the
company that was to play here last
Monday evening. The travelling agent
had been through here, and adver-
tised them as the best in the vaude-
Vile line, besides securing the hall
for Monday evening. When the time
came for them to raise the curtain
there were not more than a dozen
people in the hall, so they decided
that it would be best to refund the
money and not give the show. The
probable reason for the nonappear
ance of the audience was the fact that
there had been so many troupes
through here within the past month.
A false report had been circulated
around town that they had been hiss
ed and jeered in Angels Camp, so
that this no doubt kept mum Der
away. Saturday and Sunday evening
the same company played in Vol
cano, beth times to a good house.
This is the first show Volcano has
had visit them for a numb Der of
months.

The Nominating Speeches.

The time for the Republican national
ami the arrangements for that great
gathering are pretty well made. There
is naturally much interest in the an
nouncement of the men who Will
make the nominating speeches, for the
oratory on sucn occasions is tradi-
tionally of high order and is a feature
OF the convention which may be
counted on to arouse great enthusiasm
both among the delegates and among
the thousands of spectators. The con-
yention itself is counted upon to oc-
cupy four or five days. though if mat
ters are hustled along in the preiim-
mary proceedings and only one ballot
is required it is possible that the con-
yenticn may reach adjournment after
three days. "A
At least one whole day will be taken
I'D with the nominating speeches. 1t
has been announced that Representa-
tive Theodore L. Burton of Cleveland
will make the nominating speech for
Secretary Taft. Gov. Hanly of In
diana who will be a new figure in
national convention, is to present the
name of Mr.. Fairbanks. The veteran
Cen. Stewart l.. Woodford Of New
York. a flowery orator of the old sort
is to name Gov. Hughes. Robert 5
Murphy of Pittsburg, a son of Francis
Murphy, the apostle of temperance
will make the speech placing Senator
Knox before the convention. The
speech by Speaker Cannon will be
made by Representative John Sher-
man Boutell of Illinois. The fact that
nobody has yet been announced as
SPONSORS for Senators La Toilette OF
Wisconsin and Foraker of Ohio may
signify that they are to drop out be-
fore convention time. The feeling in
Washington is that it will be very
