CHOCOLATE Sol. :.
D|ER' At NIXON

OF all the lighter works of the
European composers that have come
across the water to amuse and enter
tain American audiences, none has
reaped a success in any degree com
parable to that of "The Chocolate
Soldier the exquisite Viennese
opera by Oscar Straus, based upon
George Bernard Shaw's satiris come
dy of war and romance in Bulgarian,
/" Arms and the Man. It's exuber-
ant melodies, radiant with freshness
and beauty, lend harmony to story
amid scores of delightful situations,
and peopled with the charming con
Trajectory, ludicrous human types
that Bernard Shaw draws with un
erring pen.
The coming of "The Chocolate
Soldier to this city is set for Friday,
December 10, 1913 Mr.. Whitney has
given a new grace and elegance to
the production this season by the con
struction of new scenery, and by dup
Heating the costumes throughout, III
order to maintain the high standard
of excellence which has for years
been associated with Whitney pro
duetion. In the Whitney Opera com
pany the star system is unknown, ana
this eliminates all weakness in the
minor roles which is the shortcomine
of most light. opera companies. The
high, degree. of talent which Mr.
Whitney. insists upon in his com
panies is increased by the fact that
every member of the company pre-
senting Chocolate Soldier car
boast of a grand opera training.
The last word in summing up the

season of "The Chocolate Soldier >

such intense excitement in the Unit

problem Of q practical small inean-

solved, and il is a striking tribute to
the genius of Edison to note that, de
spite all the years that have since
elapsed, his lamp still stands with

rangements of big land deal that
involved not only the payment of
big sum of money, but undoubted-

Land company of Salt Lake, which
made the required payments, at one
time, a few years ago, paying to the
state 100000 in greenbacks. The
final payment, which amounted to
5000, was made to Surveyor Gen
eral Deady on Thursday last.
OF the 10000 acres, 10000 is

the object of the company, which has
been represented in its dealings with

Nevada, Aug. 3O.-Damage cases in
the sum Of $4,000 have been fled
against the NJ. & st. L. Railway Com
pany In this county for the death Of
Harry p. Bates. young man who died
after injuries received at the station
his duties as a brakeman on mixed
train which was operated By the COM
pany between Marshalltown and Story
City.
The action, which is In two counts
for $4,000 each. was brought by p. +.
Batse. administrator of the estate Of
the deceased Harry Bates. The acct
dent which resulted in the death of
Bates occurred on Feb. II last and his
death followed on March 1.
Bates had been engaged in unload
ing freight at the station at Roland
and in attempting to board the front
end Of the rear car as the train pulled
out. he was caught between the car
and the platform and fatally injured.
In the petition it is set. out that the
man was 80 years of age at the time
of his death. of sound health and with
an expectancy Of life OF "a years. He
was earning $50 per month. The plain
tiff asks damages in the sum of $780,
900 for the wAuow. Gertrude Bates. and
$4,000 for the estate. It is alleged
that the company 10 responsible for
the injuries which resulted in the death
Of Bates in that it was careless in the
operation Of Its trains. did not provide
safe and proper equipment. and that
the platform was not safe.
Bates and his wife were living at
Story at the time the accident hap-
'pened. In the accident his back was
broken and paralysis soon set in dis
abling his lower limbs, besides numer-
GUS other injuries. The matter will
probably come up for trial at the Sep
