pension of weighty objects in the air;

by the whole chorus<were the song
hits of this act.
n Well Trained Chorus.
The chorus was as we'll trained as
the average choruses that ever appear
The girls had any mum ber of new
steps that have never been exhibited
in this city. They changed their cos
tunes in remarkably short time and
in some scenes they would look like a
different set of girls Their costumes
all bordered on the college effect and
some of them were exceedingly clever.
The toe twisting and skirt waving eff
feet of a high class chorus was well
initiated last night In the last scene
especially when Miss Leona Curtis
performed the fling and lend"
chorus girl the crowd went wild
The stage was simply another room
from the dining room. separated by
big folding doors. The footlights were
real footlights and gave the desired
effect. The setting was typical col
lege girls room with all the customary
fixtures such as pennants, chatting dish,
davenports and candy boxes. In the
big dining room of the Curtis home
the chairs were arranged in opera
house order and over seventy young
people witnessed the play. The S. r.
o. cards were hung out long before
the play commenced. The play itself
was as clever little musical comedy
as any one would care to sec. Some
of the songs were given in grand
opera style and others we're chanted.
The young men who attended the
play will judge from the texts of the
pIayers that the kind of a man they
want is-"one who does not have so
very much beauty but has brains,
Drawn and business. He must know
all of the poets and he must have |
sentiment Most of all he must be a
man" These points were emphasized |
clearly.

Alton B. Parker, democratic can
II ,a,e for president in 1904, made the
following statement on the tariff bill:
The opinion that the republican
platforms promise of revision OF
the tariff was intended TO deceive the
people. is now fully justified.
BY bold and impudent "peech,
senator's and members OF congress
have asserted that the plank prom
ised a revision, not reduction OF
tariff duties. Their only reward is
pubic contempt, Tor tdeir arguments
demonstrate that the purpose OF the
tariff plank was TO cheat and defraud
the voters. And at the same time
the action of the majority in con-
gress makes them parties 10 tn"
fraud in that they sought to consum-
mate il.
The president has made strong
effort TO at least secure an appear
ance of party honesty, but tae little
he has accomplished has been at
great cost. for one more precedent
is established OF an executive using
his great power TO coerce co-ordl-
nate and independent department OF
the government in violation OF the
spirit of the constitution.
And, after all. what snail this un-
seemly struggle to gain or retain

wipe out he unjust results. if not

COMMISSION BUYS
ROAD MACHINES

The county commissioners met in
special session this morning and Op-
aned bids for road rollers and road
machinery. according to ADVERTISE
ment.
Six bids were submitted, but of the
six only one company compiled with
thA conditions of the advertisement
in exhibiting the machine sought to
be sold to the county. That of the
Nevada Machine and Supply Com
pany, of Reno, for what is called the
Port Huron machine, was for 1925.
For the New York Machine the same
company bid $500. The w. Il. But
Ter Co., of Reno bid on the Kelly
Springfield roller, without any pow
er attachments, harrOws or other
necessary machinery to make the
machine effective for all work, $4,000.
Meyers Mercantile Co. bid on the
New York machine, $3.50, which
was $3.50 under the bid for the same
machine of the Nevada Machinery
company. J. |. Case company bid
l.. Young Co. bid for the Kelly
Springfield machine, with attach
ments complete, $3650, for the road
machine $3.50 and for the hard pan
plow $41.45.
This is the second time the COM
mssioners have opened bids for the
machinery as there was too much
discrepancy in the first Set of bids,
and some of the bidders wanted a
chance to show some of the machines
at work When the second adver-
tisement was made. the commission
ers called for a competitive test. but
one company compiled with all the
a machine here for the test.
In examining into the merits of the
different machines, the commission
ers, advised by the county engineer
and other engineers, decided that
the Kelly Springfield machine was
what they wanted. or one equally as
good. All bidders claimed their ma
chine was as good and it was for
this reason as much as any other
that the bids were advertised the
second time with the test condition
inserted. When it came time to test
the machines there was but one ma
