AT the Opera House.

That merry, romping, musical farce,
MAS New Husband" will appear at
the Opera House on Tuesday evening,
April 9th. From all accounts it is one
of the big laugh makors of the season,
and the management has been obliged
to promise return dates in nearly every
city that it has played in order to salts
fy the popular demand. The company
has been receiving glowing press not
ices for clever, rapid fire work and for
! The singing and comedy merit of the
individual members.
Much of the success of "Ma's New
Husband" is said to be due to it's plot
and to the dextrous handling of maze
of side splitting situations. The scene
of all the mirth and melody is laid in
the Chicago home of rich old sport
bachelor, Culpepper. His cousin, Ma
ria Longfellow, has recently lost her
husband, Culpepper has loved her in
the old days and writes her to come on
from New York and take charge of his
home. His letter arrived in the nick
Of time to save Maria from visions of
starvation. as she has just been eaten
out of house and home and furniture
by lot of impecunious actors. One
of these actors, Herbert Short by name
has captured her heart. They arrange
to marry just as soon as there is mon
ey in sight to tide over the honeymoon.
Maria brings Short to Chicago and as
Culpepper has never seen her little
boy, Willie, lad Of fourteen, it is
agreed that Short will impersonate
that youthful darling. tits needless to
state that Short is in the center of
mirth and laughter. His escapade
with Dorothy, the housemaid, with
Mrs Dickles, gnest, with Madam Hal
liday, vocal teacher, with venerable
tutor and old humbug, Mr.. Hooker,
and indeed with every character in the
play afford little time for sanity or
straight faced demeanor. The musical
numbers include all the new and popu-
lar songs together with pleasing dan
cling numbers.

nID you ever sit around outside
- your house on a Sunday after
noon, or Of an evening, maybe,
and watch the paint, and see it
go, when it ought to be holding
on tight?
Some paints are so poor that you can almost
see them as they dry out, and crumble, and
powder, and blow away.
Why do they do this? Why does this happen?
Something the matter with the materials-too
much lead, maybe, or poor oil, or not
scientifically ground and mixed might have
been good materials but not balanced right
for wear.
AT this store we make it our business to KNOW what
paint will wear-because pays to handle the kind
that pays you. And that's why we handle MOUND

AS we go to press the race for the

In MemOry'Of
Fremont Mine Victims.

Coroner Potter was in jackson
Tuesday. He SAYS movement IL
talked off to start a subscription list
for the purpose of raising funds to
erect a monument over the graves OF
the ten victims of the Fremont ire
about eighteen months ago. Inc
bodies we're inferred at Plymouth,
months after the disaster, as the Ie-
mains we're recovered from the shaft.
Except tor the simple inscription
marking the resting places as far as
the victims could be identified, no
effort has been made to raise per-
manent monument to these men who
met their death in so tragic manner.
The relatives of the dead are all with
cut means to bear the expense OF
suitable monument. 1t is thought
that something should be done, even
if a public subscription is necessary,
for this worthy object. Mr. Potter Is
willing to take charge of movement
to that end. small sum from the
miners throughout the county, and
the mine owners and Others who are
favorably disposed, would not be
missed. 1t is felt that some effort
should he made to perpetuate the
memory of those who persisted in that
terrible disaster.

superior court on Tuesday to plead
to charge of grand larceny preferred

stolen property against Carroll. Each
defendent pleaded guilty to the crime
charged. Carroll engaged W. g.
Snyder to look after his interest. A
number of witnesses we're placed on
the stand to testify to his good char
acter for honesty. His failing was
that he got on spree at intervals,
but usually he was hardworking
and reliable. Ii. E. Potter, Lawrence
Burke, Or. Norman and Fred Culbert
were called to testify as to his char
acter. The defendent himself said
he received $50 from Payne to take
back to the man, Nick Tanso, from
whom Payne had stolen $50. But in
stead cf returning the money, he
gave it to friend to keep.
Payne, the man who went through
the pockets of Ianso while he was in
drunken stupor in room of the
lodging house in Plymouth. admitted
that he took the money. His only
excuse was that he had been drink
ing. He also acknowledged that
about four or five years ago he was

Commissioner Holland also plans

Killing Wolves and Coyotes.

A late issue of the Denver Repub-
lican contains the following which
will interest many people in Rio
Blanco county.
State Game Commissioner Il. J.
Holland will have as dreaded a name
among the coyotes and wolves before
he goes out of office rs "Teddy"
Roosevelt himself, for Commissioner
Holland is determined to wage war
of extinction against the "varmints." :"
Commissioner Holland believes
that coyotes are responsible for de-
structiOn of more game in Colorado
than an army of pot hunters 80 times
as large as those who annually flood
the deer sections. All during the
summer and winter they are chasing
the deer, pulling down young fawns
In the late summer and capturing
helpless animals In the deep snow
when winter comes. Therefore he
will issue instructions to all game
wardens to poison coy otes and wolves.
The government has perfected II new
wolf poisoning system that is said to
work very effectively. Aud the old
stry chnine carcass will be worked to
the limit to deplete the band of
killers which range all over the
mountains and plains of Colorado.
In the early days according to
Commissioner Holland, coyotes rare
ly frequented the mountains. Hardly
an old trapper or pioneer remembers
ever having seen coyotes in the
mountains. Sustenance was far
easier on the plains for two reasons.
The game was more easily caught
and the coyotes did not have man to
depend upon. When men went into
the mountains, the refuse they threw
away from their living would keep a
n coyote alive for u long time. The
mountain coyotes now hang around
ranch houses and towns more than
anywhere else, and In the night time

About this time every year there
comes from the passenger depart
ment of the Denver & Rio Grande

Fertile Lands Of Colorado"
AS the title indicates, the text is
devoted to the products of the soil,
and it is noticed that with each edi-
tion the book grows larger, which is
indicative of the growth of the agri-
cultural resources of the state. This
years edition is twelve pages larger
than any previous one and is cram
med solid with meaty data regarding
the agricultural resources of the state
In general, and of its many fertile
valleys in particular.
The text is by that welI-known au-
thority, Mr.. Clarence A. Lyman.
The illustrations are new and the
publication is very valuable contri-
button to the literature on the agri-
cultural resources of Colorado.
The homeseeker can find no safer
guide in looking for lands in this
state AZ every statement in the publi-
cation is conservative and nothing

kfroceedings for the removal of the
county assessor of Huerfsno county
for alleged dereliction Of duty in not
turning In sufficiently large enough
assessment roll from that county.
While stirring up the various county
assessors ''Honestjohn" might look
into some of the actions of the state
board of equalization. For instance,
give some explanation as to why the
Craig Mutual Telephone company is
assessed at $73.42 II mile and the
Colorado Telephone company (the
telephone trust) at only $l7.3O. The
fact that the Colorado company is
the especial pet corporation of the

son, shouldn't single it out for such
marked favor at the hands of the
