The crowd took to "Christmas on Blackwelrs Island, :" Sidney Deane's sketch As soon as the drop lifted, showing the tier of cells the applause began and 1t kept right up through 'Adeste Fidells" down to the final chorus, You're as Funny as a Crutch'' got its usual heavy hand, and Turkey Bone" brought two big encores. The act has been slightly renovated since last year and goes now better than ever.
 The sharp brothers. familiar to all through their association with the in-
 mtable Eddie Leonard, reappear in q sketch of their own, entitled Dancing on the Levee." It's a good sketch. too The Sharp brothers are excellent dances and the batter of their hard shoes weaves pleasing accompani- ment to their songs. The act Is we'll staged and last night the brothers won several recalls. The work of the chor- HIS Is excellent too and the entire act deserved every bit of applause 1t took.

Can Get Agricultural School.

The Board of Regents have
made an order allowing the sup
erintendents of the Farmers In
stitutes to hold two short course
schools during the coming win
ter. Broken Bow can secure one
of these schools if the business
men and farmers will take hold
of the move and show their APP
probation in the matter. If suf-
ficient interest is shown, meet
ing will be called while the Chau-
tauqua is ia session, at which
time the Superintendent of the
Farmers Institute will give AL
outline of the work proposed and
list of subjects from which to Sc
lect program. The one held at
Pawnee City last year proved to
be grand success and resulted
in great good to the farmers who
attended. We feel confident that
the business men of Broken Bow
will unite with the farmers of
Custer county and aid them in
every way possible in securing q
short course school to be held
here this winter. 1t is issuggested
by Prof. Keyser that there be q
committee of ladies present al
the meeting held during the
Chautauqua so that everyone will
have thorough understanding
of the nature of the work.

Graphically Describes it and
the Journey Home.

We now take up the afternoon
trip and take street car for the
hot sulpher wells. Three ar
tesian wells in the southern SUBJ
urbs from 1900 to 2200 feet deep
discharge with force over 800,-
900 gallons each day of hot
sulpher waters with a temper
ature of 103 to 106 degrees. The
wonderfully curative qualities
have been amply tested. This
water is recommended and seldom
fails to cure goiter, rheumatism,
skin diseases, syphilis, stomach
troubles, liver and kidney COM
plants and many other diseases
that battle the skill of the best
physicians.
TIE grove at the hot sulpher
wells contains 30 acres, and is
picturesque in the extreme. AT
one of these wells nearest the
city and reached by the street
cars where we are visiting, a
large bath house and comodious
hotel have been constructed, in
cooperating ali modern improve
ments and fully equipped.
The Southwestern hospital for
the insane joins the property OF
the Hot Sulpher Wells Company.
1t is one of the largest asylums

Kimberling and Party in the Mountains

Manitau, Colo, June 30, 1908.
CUSTER COUNTY REPUBLICAN,
Broken Bow, Nebr.
We made trip to Cripple creek
yesterday. Went by way of the
Short Line rail road and returned
by way of the Colorado Midland
rail road and entirely circling
the Pixies Peak mountain, cross
ing the great continental divide
in two places at an altitude of
about 1920 feet.
We were in the mi ming towns
of Cripple Creek, Gold field,
Victor, Anaconda, Altman and
Cameron. Cripple Creek is a
city of about ten thousand in
habitants but each of our party
decided we would not want to
live there for the best gold mine
in the district.
The town is situated at just
about timber line altitude and we
did not see a shrub in the place
as much as two feet high and
only two yards with grass grow
ing thereon and they told us the
dirt had been hauled by wagon
loads for five miles to put on
these lawns.
The entire country near this
city is covered with rocks.
We visited the Abe Lincoln
mine and secured some specimens
of ore as it was hauled out of the
mine.
Goldfeld is a very prosperous
little city and it was at this
place where the miners were
fortified few years ago against
the regular soldiers at the time
Of the great strike at which time
the depot and other buildings
were blown up.
The Portland gold mine is al
this place and the largest in the
district employs eleven hundred
men.
Altman is the highest altitude
of any organized city in North
America.
The scenery between here and
Cripple Creek is simply superb.
The distance as a crow would
fly is twenty-five miles, but by
rail road it is about seventy
miles. The train travels in all
directions and circling mountains
and at nearly all times Pixies
Peak can be seen from the train.
At one time we travelled three
miles to gain sixteen hundred
feet in distance. At another
time when just entering a tun.
mel our attention was called tc
look back and we could see two
tunnels one where we had Just
come out of and another in the
same mountain which we haC
| just entered.
