A triumph of bodybuilding is what
ga Cowboys Girl which comes to
Nixon opera house really is. Bull
along new and original lines, with ma
terial carefully selected from the store
of knowledge, as to the wants and de
sires of the public, it breathes an at
mosphere all it's own, as original and
fresh as the wind which sweeps the
broad praries on which the scenes are
laid. This wonderful play stands sol
id upon the rock of everlasting success,
a play of merit, a cast of unusual ex
cellence, a wealth of beautiful scenery,
Pure unalloyed fun, mingled with the
most sensational of situations and eli.
makes and put up in the most approved
manner known to stage craft, is what
you get when you see Perez r. Benton s
scenic play, ga Cowboys Girl which
comes to the Nixon opera house, told
in such a way that the audience seems
to be fairly transported from the scenes
o 'their daily life to those that pass be
fore them with such vivid naturalness
A complete production with nothing
lacking, a triumph of electricity and
mechanical art combined with the high
est form of dramatic perfection.
The satisfaction and qualification
that comes with the knowledge that
you are going to see the best of its KIND
is a very pleasant feeling. That is the
way you feel when you get ready to see
Benton's great play "A Cowboy
Girl' which comes to the Nixon opera
house. That's the way you will fec
when you go home after seeing it, sat
isfied and gratified. No expense has
been spared to give to the amusement
loving public a rare and e~njoyabl,
treat in the form of the most complete
musical and dramatic play ever crowd
ed into two hours and a half.

THE VENEZUELAN SITUATION

With Castro sick abed in Germany
and a new administration in control o.
Venezuela, the question now before the
American people is: What is the Unit
ed States government going to do
about the various claims which
have had so much to do with the Ven
ezuelan disturbances - the asphalt
claim, and others3 Will this govern
ment undertake to force a settlement
favorable to the claimants3
Perhaps the most reliable informa
tion yet given as to the attitude OF
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Root is contained in a statement over
the signature of William +. Curtis
Mr. Curtis is one of the trusted Wash
ington correspondents who is Otter
spoken of as being "close to the ad
ministration. He has served the gov
eminent more than once as special com
missioner to foreign countries, and was
director of the bureau of American Re
publics for several years.
"Mr. Root realizes more clearly
thar anyone,' writes Mr.. Curtis, tt
the Chicago Record Herald, "that th'
prosecution of claims against otheI
American republics is a d~isgraeefu
chapter in our diplomatic history. II
The silver state news. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1907-1909, 1909-01-05

for several times the amount of dam
ages they have suffered, and give their
attorneys half the money our govern
ment can collect for them"
OF the Asphalt trusts claim, Mr..
Curtis says:
"The most serious claim is brought
because the Venezuelan government
revoked a concession given to an Amer
icon drummer as an inducement to mar
nv and take to New York a lady who
was giving the dictator of Venezueia
a great deal of trouble. That con
tract passed into the hands of a com
PAW which financed a revolution TO
overthrow President Castro; when he
discovered the fact he revoked their
T.,ileges and ordered their agen.s out
i his country, which any self
-cs pecting president should have done.
" at would President Roosevelt lia 'e
cone under such circumstsnces?'
1t is significant that the men who
are most familiar with the situation III
Venezuela, and have given most study
to the demands against the government
of that country, share Mr.. Curtis opin,
ions as to the justice of the demands.
The persons who have listened only To
the complaints of in, Asphalt 'ust
and other claimants ard have no
studied closely the terms of the various
concessions-it is these who cry out
shat the United states should brins,
pressure to bear upon Venezuela.
The special commissioner, w. !.
Buchanan, who has been despatched to
Venezuela by the United States gov
eminent. will undoubtedly examine the
claims with great care. 1t is not
thought that his researches and nego-
tiations will lead to any harsh action.
If C%astro's operations were even half
as bad as they are said to have been,
the people of Venezuela have been
robbed long enough, and it is not likely
that the United States will assist any
further efforts to loot the national
treasury.

With wrecks of hopes bestrewn?
