Last night good-sized audience
gathered at the Park opera house and
witnessed one of the most interesting
and at the same time the most re-
markable entertainment and demon
stration of its kind ever given in the
city of Grand Junction. There is no
question but what Alburtus is the
most successful hypnotist ever seen
IN TINS city and Arzuilla is certainly a
remarkable woman. The work of
these two mysterious and clever peo-
pie last night aroused great enthus-
iasm. The most startling feature of
the evening was Alburtuss act in
freeing himself from the handouts.
The marvellous mind reading work of
ArZuilla was more than astounding.
The hypnotic stunts were excellent.

people are furnishing each evening

same time il is a clean and refined

II should refresh and fortify Mr..
Taft to hear his former cabinet coll
league say:
81 have every confidence in the
president. Those with whom he was
associated in the Roosevelt admins
tration have never doubted him. They
have. however. always understood the
motives behind the actions of certain
interests which would have the peo-
pie at large believe the old-time
friendliness between the two admin
istrations was strained to the break
ing point
In spite of Mr. Garfield's dpprehen-
sions. 1t is not likely that the politi-
cal gossips have kept Mr.. Taft awake
OF nights. He has plenty of more i'm
portant things to think about. There
are the tail end of the Roosevelt pan
ic. the growing Roosevelt deficit and
the wasteful Roosevelt appropria-
tons. There are cases against trusts
and railroads which Mr.. Roosevelt
prosecuted without proper evidence.
and against others which he did not
prosecute for improper reasons There
is tariff revision. which Mr.. Roosevelt
lodged for seven years.
The Roosevelt policies, on which
Mr.. Garfield dotes, look very fine in
retrospect: but, If the country had
fewer of them. Mr. Taft would also
nave less work of reconstruction
ahead OF him. Cheered and sustained
by the unfaltering trust of retired
member OF the tennis cabinet, he may
yet nope to pun through somehow 10
