The McCabeS Troubadors made a
return date to Elinwood last Satur-
day night and as usual this company
gave the best OF satisfaction. Thh
season, however, this splendid COM
pany has added a few more strong
acts to their show which makes Il
far better than ever before. Mr.. Nc
Cabe and wife have always been
strong features of the organization
and did not disappoint their audience
in the least this time. Then the
old standby, Mr.. Chas. Willis, and
also his wife, the real comedian
from Africa, was better than ever
and had he responded to all the en-
cores given him would have been ON
the boards" adj night. He Is with
out any question Of a doubt one Of
the best that has ever appeared in
any minstrel show i'm this section Of
the country. Mr.. Boyd, the man
who has no more bones in his body
than a snake and put on one Of the
finest acts ever seen, not barring
the big shows, and was well receiv-
ed by the audience. In fact every
member of this company is In a class
by themselves and amy opera house
manager that has a chance to book
this company should do so. The
trip to Africa or at the Devils Cave
was put on bigger and better than
ever, and this one act alone was
worth the price Of admission. The
scenery, costumes, light effects, ETC.,
was all much better than Is gener-
ally used by an organization Of this
kind.

CHAMPION OF TRUTH.

Speaking of liars says Abe Pet
ers, Il have known a good many Of
them in my time. don't take
much stock in the common ordinary
variety Of liar, but l have seen a
few who excited certain degree
OF admiration because they could de
and get away with it. Jack Parks,
whom used to know down IN South.
ern Kansas, was a pneposteTous
liar, but l never knew him to be dash
ed by being called down. Jack had
Travelled in California during the
5c's and used to entertain enormous
crowds with descriptions OF his traV-
els. On one occasion he was tell
ing the crowd about a visit to the
famous Redwood forest. Gentle
men" said he, that forest is the
most wonderful thing in nature. A
great many Of the trees grow to be
1000 feet high and from fifty to sew
eny{ive feet in diameter. And they
stand so thick, gentlemen that it
was hardly possible for me to get
the blade OF this bowie knife be-
tween them. Through this immense
forest roams the magnificent black
tailed deer, with antlers having a
spread of from twelve to fifteen
feet Hold on, there, said one of
the skeptical hearers, Il want to
ask you a question" We'll, what
is it?" said Jack, a trifle impatient
on account of the interruption, What
| want to know is,' said the Ques-
TONER, chow in thunder them deer
could roam through that forest where
the trees stood so thick that you
could not get your knife blade be-
tween the trees, when the deer had
horns twelve to fifteen feet wide?"
Jack gave the questiOner a wither-
ing look, and then without the sign
Of blush, replied, THAT, Mister,
was the deer's business, not mine.'

Bishop Gambler stated at the outset
of his talk Monday evening that if
there was a man in his audience who
did not believe in foreign missions and
persisted in that belief when he left

In the course of his remarks, Bishop
Gambler took occasion to state that he
believed DIR. Friedman, the discoverer
of an alleged cure for tuberculosis, TO
be a fakir, because he wants to put a
premium on his discovery and hold his
secret for royalty.
