With the coming of Spring
And the passing away
OF Winter so cold and drear,

Where cleaning and pressing, repairing
and dressing,
By SWEENEY, the tailor, is done.
On last Wednesday evening the Re

wished to dance were given the oppor-

furnished by the War Eagle Mountain
Orchestra, led by Professor Eutrieio
Justine Burroughcio with Jose Valverdi
as assistant, was excellent and much ap-
preciated by the dancers. In progressive
whist, Mrs. g. H. Crete won the ladies'
prize, a handsome piece of china ware,
while our friend Abel was able to win
the gentlemens' prize, which had the APP
pearance ola small bible, but when opened
and examined turned out to be pocket
crib board with deck of cards. With
the assistance of this to keep in good prac-
tice, there is no doubt but that he will be
able to give even Judge Heer close
game. A delicious lunch was served in
the banquet room, after which dancing
was resumed until about one O'Clock.

Actions of the Legislature of In
terest to Owyhee County.

that $l69, 900 had been deposited with
out security and we started an investi-
cation and found that 50, 800, 600 of state
funds was in banks without security.
II know there has been no attempt on
either side to cover up anything The
chairman of the state affairs committee
has been fair at all times and we have
proceeded as far as possible. But that is
not the question. We want to know a.
bout state officials practically conducting
banks.
A communication was read from the
Oregon-ldaho Development congress re-
questing that committee be appointed to
confer with committee of the congress
to prepare an enabling bill to authorize

came up for consideration by the commit
tee of the whole it was defended by Bow

applauded by his colleagues and Bryan
supporters among the spectators. The

Denman Thompson Talks Of His Play.
Denman Thompson, Americas veteran
actor, who presents his famous play,
:" The Old Homestead" as the opening
attraction at Chandler Music hall, Sept.
80, has played the part Of Uncle Josh for
more than 80 years. First in a 15-minute
sketch in the variety halls throughout
the country, followed by II years in the
play, "Joshua Whiteomb," and then for
% years in 'The Old Homestead The
aggregate number OF times he has played
the part reaches the total OF 10000.
Talking about the play to a friend on
the farm at West Swanzey, N. H., Mr..
Thompson, now in his 10th year, said,
pointing to the big mansion-''I spent
most of my boyhood days there, SO this
is in more ways than one The Old Home
stead to me.n "Are any of the people
reproduced in the play still living?" be
was asked. "They are all gone now :"
was his reply and for a moment there
was a suspicion of q tear in his eye.
"Joshua Whitcomb was q reproduction Of
two persons who lived in Swanzey.
They were Capt. Otis Whitcomb and
Joshua Holbrook. Capt. Otis furnished
the comedy and Joshua Holbrook the
serious elements, 50 you see they make
q good combination. At any rate the
4 people who have seen them think they
do pretty we'll.
"The original OF Cy Prime was one OF
the greatest liars of Cheshire county
SO perhaps I'D better not tell anything
more about him. Seth Perkins is Just a
I type OF the New England soil. You
can see his original in almost any town
! in New Hampshire or Vermont. And
Rickerty Ann, she is just the little poor
house waif that gets good and bad all
tangled up and never seems able to find
the knot that'n 0Rtie the snarl. She's
happiest when romping the fields OF
doing dares with the boys, and perhaps
it's best that she never fully grows up
I From 1886 till 1904 Mr.. Thompson
never failed to return each year to tbs
Boston theatre, meanwhile telling tbs
story OF the wandering boy to millions
of people all over the United States
Last season he returned to Boston agair
for four weeks Of the biggest houses h'
ever played before.
