The Next Big Show

The Grand will offer strong at
traction in The Countess Coquette,'
which will be seen on Thursday, Feb.
@. 1t is, rollicking musical farce
from the pen OF Marcel Janvier of
Paris, where the piece has been run
ming for the past two years. 1t has
scored a terrific success since its
premier in the East few weeks ago,
and goes into Chicago shortly for
what is confidently expected to be
long run. The lyrics are by Melville
Alexander, and the music by Anatol
Friedland. The latter compares ia
vorably to anything by Strauss or Le-
har. One lifting, haunting melody,
"Springtime," which threads through
the play, is expected to equal the
popularity of the Merry Widow
waltz. The story concerns frisky
widow who elopes with young man,
while her romantic daughter runs off
with his father. The couples meet
at an inn, where series OF shrieking-
ly funny complications ensue. These
are told without the broadness which
sometimes mars French farce.
The company is recruited from the
cludes Knox Wilson, who created the
leading comedy roles in The Burgo-
master" The Land of Nod" "The
Silver Slipper" and was principal
comedian with Anna Held. Others
prominent are Vera Allen, christcn-
ed by Boston critics The American
Trentino," and last season prima
donna soprano with the Chicago
Grand Opera company: Maud Will
liams. prima donna with King Do
do" The Sultan of Sulu." and Ray
mond Hitchcocks Templar SAKE,
leading baritone in the original pro-
ductions of "Piff, Paf. Pouff," "The
Gay Musician and "The Earl and
the Girl: Harry PAUL.. principal ten
or with The Heartbreakers" and "A
Stubborn Cinderella: and Emile La
Croix, late with a number of Charles
Frohman's successes and a former
member of the Royal Grand Opera
Company of Berlin. Owing to the
vocally difficult musical numbers, the
chorus has been recruited for vocal
ability as well as good looks. The
scenery is by Dodge and Castle. who
build all the Belasco productions, and
the costumes were designed by Fou-
ret of Paris. Some novel electrical
effects are the invention OF Klcigl
Bros. of New York.

The rIayor's Views

Mr.. Eoitor:-
have been asked by many for my
views on the water question, and | will
say that it is the dream OF every desert
town, as well as nearly all other towns
bountiful supply of good pure water with
a pressure sufficient to afford fire protec-
ton and Rocky Ford is no exception. Two
years ago we were almost destitute of
water and were almost in panic but
now we have plenty and of good quality.
In fact more than we can sell. But the
cost is pretty high. Two years ago we
had all kinds of water propositions, the
Pearl Springs was one OF the propositions
as it is now, We employed competent
engineer, one of the best in the state, his
report recommended the springs at Steel
Forks and Little Horse. these springs are
nearly 60 miles from Rocky Ford. His
estimates. for installation of pipe lines to
and reservoir for Rocky Ford was cost
of nearly half a million dollars, which in
the Judgment of the mayor and council.
Rocky Ford could not afford Now comes
up the Pearl Spring Co. asking the city of
Rocky Ford to enter into about the same
contract they had for two years but failed
to make good. They claim to have the
promise of plenty of money to complete
the project this time. If they have plenty
of good water and they can deliver it into
the city mains at the price they offer and
If the supply will continue. then It would
be splendid thing for the city. But
suppose the supply should become ex-
hausted. as was the case at Lamar. in
side of year, or suppose the water
| should become rotten as it did in Pueblo.
What then? Our. present water system
would have fallen into decay and some
of our wells probably, ruined and we
would have to commence all over again.
Another thing that must be considered:
What about fire pressure? Their proposed
reservoir site is only few feet higher
than our present reservoir. and would be
totally inadequate without fire engine
or some other means to increase
the pressure in case of FIRE. have placed
this proposition in the hands Of a commit
tee composed of j. H. Price. W. R. Bish,
Harry Goodner. DR.. Roberts and Frank
Crosier. our water commissioner. who
will report at our next meeting and feel
satisfied that it is in good hands,
There is no use of any one getting
excited about the water question. only as
to tho cost. If we can get as good water
as we now have for less money. for the
people. it is our duty to do SO. Rocky
Ford now has the best supply of good
water of any town in the ArkansasValley
unless it is Fowler. And | believe the
people will be slow about making a
change unless they are convinced they
are getting as good or better water in
abundance at a lower price.
OF course the present city administra-
ton. whose term of Office expires in Apri
will not care to enter into contract at
this time, but we ieel that it is our duty
to carefully examine into the merits ot
this proposition and if this committee
thinks well of the proposition. they may
recommend that it be submitted to vote
OF the people at the election in April.

CROWDS VIEW 1 MONA LISA
Police and Troops Drive Crowds Away-Wiii be Taken to Paris
 Immediately.

ROME, Dec. 29.-Thousands of people of this city crowded to see the Mona Lisa Sunday the last day up on which the famous painting will be shown in Italy. The troops were call ed out to drive away the people crowded before the museum in which the painting was displayed
 At an early hour an immense throng of all classes gathered outside the doors of the gallery under the arcade, which was guarded by the police, who were frequently thrust aside by the excited populace. The public was al lowed to enter in parties of 100, wo- men first. Between the portraits of Raphael and Titan, on an easel in a carved and gilded sixteenth-century frame, was the Mona Lisa" The painting was behind balustrade and beyond arms reach. The room was guarded by four gendarmes. Visitors were allowed to spend only three minutes in the room, the director of the gallery all the while exhorting them to be calm.
 When the gallery closed at o'clock as is usual on Sundays 3O,O0O per- sons had seen the painting, and thou sands of others went away disap- pointed.
 The painting was stolen by Vim cenzo Perugia, an Italian workman in the Louvre. who claims to have talk en it in revenge for the many thefts of Italian works of art oy the Corsi- can bandit. Napoleon Bonaparte, dur ing the many raids he made in tho wars between France and Italy. The picture was stolen August 21, 1911. It is said to be worth $4,0O0.0 but there is to doubt that it could not be purchased for ten times that sum from .he French.
 The Mona Lisa," also known as La Gioconda French La Jo- conde"-is one of the half dozen most celebrated paintings in the world. Leonardo da Vinci worked on it for four years, from 150O to 15O4, and then declared that it was not finished. But then Leonardo was one of those geniuses who are never satisfied. al ways striving to make the perfect more perfect, always seeking the un- attaina ble. King Francis I, of France, fell in love with the picture, which is 2 portrait Of Lisa del Gioconda, third wife oft Francesca del Giocon- da. of Florence. and bought it for 4,000 gold crowns. What this means in modern coin it is almost impossi- ble 70 say. hut the price for those days was an enormous one.
 The king also bought the artist, inducing Leonardo to go to live in France. where he died. Francis was a great patron Of the arts, and an other famous Italian whom he em- ployed was Benvenuto Cellini.
 Under the circumstances. the Mo ma Lisa" having an unbroken "pedi- gree" since the day that the king
 bought it, its authenticity would ap-
 pear to be beyond question. Yet there
 have been and still are critics whc
 declare that, it is only copy of the
 ori.lral painting.

Bull Moose Begins
Its 1914 Campaign

The Progressive party Congressional
committee has opened headquarters in
Washington, and is preparing to press
the campaign of 1914 with great vigor.
Under the direction Of Chairman Hine-
baugh, the committee has taken head
quarters on the ninth floor of the Mum
sey building. Literature Is bein sent
out, and the business of organization
is being pushed. Organization will be
the watchword
Chairman Hinebaugh said today the
committee would keep headquarters
here until June, and that New York and
Chicago headquarters would be opened
then. He asserts the Republican party
is weakening; that the action Of the
national committee in refusing to call a
national convention hurled II along on
the down grade, and that the outlook
for the Bull Moose is bright.
He said that IL the Republicans and
Democrats. as well. would take up and
pass a Presidential primary bill, such as
the Progressive party demanded, and as
the President favored, there would be
an end to national conventions, and
such farces as occurred at Chicago at
the time Of Taft's denomination.
