National Western stock Show.

Denver.-The annual National West
ern Stock Show is the next big event
for Denver. 1t is expected that the
show in January will bring to Denver
over 10000 people from outside Of the
city. The railroads have made low
rates from all parts Of the West. The
coming show will be in four complete
departments, the Stock Show, the Ma
tional Western Horse Show. the Ma
tional Western Poultry Show and the
Feed and Forage Show. In addition
to these plans are being made to pro-
vide concession space to merchants
and manufacturers who desire to make
an industrial display. Preparations
are already under way, and from the
way entries are coming in there Is ev-
cry reason to believe that the exhibits
will be larger than in any previous
year. The West is commencing to get
into the game with pure bred cattle.
and at the coming show there will be
six herds Of Herefords and four herds
Of Shorthorns from Colorado and
Wyoming alone.

Many Coal Entries Void.

Denver.-Under a decision of the
United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peals. just rendered at st. Louis, suits
may be brought by the government
to regain thousands Of acres of coal
lands in Colorado and other states filed
upon fraudulently. The decision was
given in the case Of the government
against the Diamond Coal and Coke
Company Of Wyoming, which was an
appeal from a decision of Federal
Judge Lewis. The ruling of the Court
q Appeals, which reverses the deci-
sion of Judge Lewis, is that lands may
be proved to be coal lands by expert
geological Testimony, and that out
groupings of coal are not necessary to
prove the character of the lands. The
ruling heretofore has been that lands
were not considered to be coal lands
unless veins appeared through the sur
face.

Land Board Reconsiders.

Montrose The State Land Board
having been informed that an appeal
would be taken to the United States
Department of the Interior if the
board persisted in its action of seq
regating 43.000-acre tract Of Carey
act land in Montrose and San Miguel
counties, voted unanimously to recon-
slider its action. 1t had been charged
that II the board persisted in its ac-
ton, the cost Of land and water to
the Carey act farmers would be SO
an acre more than 1t ought to be. On
the irrigation of the entire Carey tract
the difference in cost, it was alleged,
would be approximately $430 900.

THE PARK

The attractions for next week at the Park theatre comprise some of the very best known and proved success es of the season.
 Monday night, Baby Mine" the Iaughable- production that W. A. Brady Ltd, was able to keep going in Broadway for a year is on the boards. It is enough to know that Baby Mine' won the unstinted praise of the metropolitan reviewers to en- sure it deserving reception here,e
 Tuesday night comes the attraction de luxe so to speak for Henrietta Crossman is foremost in her art and has few if any rivals in her line of work She will be seen in her newest success "The Real Thing
 Wednesday night the house will be dark
 Thursday and Friday with matinee that staunch old timer, the play with moral ''Ten Nights in a Barroom' plays a return engagement.
 Saturday night one of the biggest cards of the season is scheduled the famous all-star Imperial Russian bal let which has created furore wher- ever it has appeared. Tickets for the above attractions may now be had at the ticket office of the theatre.
 For the following week Manager Burke has booked among other attrac- tions ''The Goose Girl' and Harry Lauder, the latter playing a matinee only on Thursday afternoon, Oct. 19. Jolly Seven Days, as good a com edy as we have ever had the pleasure to see will be the attraction at the Park Theatre today matinee and night This comedy has the unusual distinc- tion of playing on Broadway during the third year of it's life which is sure- 1x- fyrr fo oolx nf The fact that Baby Mine'' follows more closely the older type of Ameri- can plays accounts for it's many obvi ous superiOrities New ventures are difficult and new trails hard to fol- low, but in Baby Mine" Margaret Margaret Mayo, also widely famous as the author of Polly of the Circus
 has written the typical comedy of an absurd and original idea with a new ness and freshness of characterization and dialogue that give it an air of possibility and plausibility. The story of the wife who wins back an angry husband by pretending to present him in his absence with a baby that in reality comes from a maternity hos pital is hardly more believable be cause of the newspaper item Miss Mayo quotes as picturing three thou sand Chicago husbands fondling ba- l. OlCS hOl lHCiT oWH, anu WIloIl MISS Mayo complfcates the affair with the appearance. of the real mother indig- nantly demanding her baby the fun- niest sort of comedy must be expected. Yet most of the worth in Baby Mine' lies in the familiar little touches of reality with which the story is told; such as the indignant protest of the husband as his wife begins to try and sooth his injured feelings by recall ing the particular cut and color of his wedding trousers. He can bear this no longer. You've used those trousers to settle every crisis in our married life" he asserts indignantly. "Baby Mine'' is one big clean, healthy laugh.

Ten Nights in a Barroom" which will be offered by Messrs. Holden & Edwards in this city next Thursday and Friday with daily matinees is 8 peculiar play in many ways: First, it is a play which has kept it's pop ularity for more than fifty years-the generation which saw the play at the opening in 1858 has almost passed away Then, too, despite the fact of it's popularity and it's adaptability for use in almost any sort of community, it has never been played by g. first class road company. Stock companies have played it, amateurs, and now and then a transforming company has tried to put on the play, but to have a setting for the play, a good cast with a star at it's head and a comedy man of reputation is something that has never before been done with "Ten Nights in a Barroom.'' The story is one which interests the people who be- lieve in temperance. It tells of Joe Morgan, poor, drunkard, with pit fable home and ragged though faith full wife. It also tells of Simon Slade, one time miller, but now tavern keep CT. Slade in the first act is boasting of his earnings, his profits and the difference in his life now that he is in the business of selling rum. Joe comes into the tavern and they talk things over and Joe prophecies that Shade will one day regret his change of business and tells him that a rum seller is no more respectable than a rum drinker. Slade has his young son, Frank, as his assistant.
 Mikail Mordkin's All-Star Imperial Russian ballet is coming to the Park theatre on Saturday evening, Oct. IA. The Imperial Dancers have ranks just like Imperial Courtiers.

So in a company of Russian terpischorean artists a dancer to be called "prima ballerina assoluta" much be such No solo or character dancers, good as they may be, are made "etoiles'' in Mord- kin's troupe. If they. are primas here, it means that they are primas at home.
 Russian dancing is nothing more or less than a combination of the best of the French and Italian styles of choreographic art with the native Russian saltatory art Whereas danc- ing was dead on both sides the Alps in the early centuries of the Chris tian era, what was destined to be Russia preserved the love of the dance inherited from Greece, whence, too, Russia takes her alphabet and the coloring of her customs.
