. High School Entertainment

The students of the high school, under
the direction of Mrs. Lothrop, have
made arrangements to produce the CAN
tatta Of Esther at the Bradley Opera
House on the evening of Saturday,
Dec. 5.
Last year Mrs. Lothrop drilled and
produced the Cantatta Pauline which
was so favorably. received by the people
of Elko The one she has chosen this
year is one that requires more drilling,
but the results Justify the expenditure.
- Esther is perhaps the most successful
cantatta that has ever been sung in
America. Its plot is pleasing, being the
bible story of that person It is the
same plot that Ella Wheeler Wilcox
took for her drama, Mizpah, which at
tracted so much attention on both the
Pacific and Atlantic coasts a few years
ago. The music is of the highest order
and is sure to please all those who enjoy
music at all.
The cantatta is given to assist in de-
fraying athletic debts that were con-
tracted last year and to provide fund
for that work this year in the high
school.

A Woman'S Protest

A man at Joplin, Mo, was driving
team of sad eyed horses, hitched to
a wagon that contained a heavy load.
The wagon went into mudhole and
the horses could not draw it out, al
though they devoted all their energies
cid talents to the task. .
Then the man took a large whip,
with BRAIDED lash that would cut
through sheet iron, and proceeded to
hay his horses. He larruped away
until he was tired, and tine horses
plunged and reared, but did not
move the load; so the patient and
strenuous driver took shovel from
the wagon and began pounding the
horses ribs, keeping time, time,
time, in sort of Runic rhyme.
With a long and swining strid es
there came a woman down the street;
she took in the situation at glance
and without wasting time in argument
or expostulation, seized the shovel and
battered the man over the head and
knocked him into the mudhole, and
pounded him until he yelled for the
police.
If there should be any talk of sending
a bouquet to that woman, the Gazette
would like to contribute a few posies.

Eound a Meteor

A meteorite weighing about 1000
pounds was Monday placed in the
vaults of the Tonopah banking cor
portion at Tonopah, The meteor was
found near Goat Ranch springs, about
1875 miles east of Tonopah. Professor
w. P. Jenny, the geologist and mining
engineer, who was employed some time
ago to examine the meteor, caused an
assay to be made in Tonopah, and also
one: in Rochester, New York. Both
assays show that it contains from to
10 per cent of nickel, and about 80 per
cent of meteoric iron. Upon saving off
q section, the Widmanstantian figures
were, shown very plainly This one
test poves beyond u doubt that it was
q meteor. ....
The figures are peculiar however,
in that they are grouped in a different
manner than usual, being equilateral
triangles overlapping. The metal value
of the meteor is only about $400 but as
it is a most remarkable specimen, it
will probably sell for many times that
amount. It was found only partially
Embedded in the ground showing that
it must have struck atan angle.
