DONALD BRIAN
SOME DANCER
ONE OF THREE STARS IN GIRL
FROM UTAH" HAS A DANG
ING SCHOOL
Teaches the Gentle Art and Thereby
Becomes More Proficient
Himself.

Donald Brian. who comes TO the
Court theatre Saturday. May s. matt
nee and night. as one OF the three
stars in Charles Frohman's produc-
ton OF THE Girl From Utah." seems
more agile than ever. This Is SAYING
very much in the case OF Mr.. Brian.
whose graceful dancing has been
a gratifying treat to theatre goers for
many seasons. But this year IL dis
plays a finish and ease and inventive
ness that eclipses all his previous er-
forts. The reason for this new ex-
cellence is not hard to discover. ne
fact is that for the past six months
Mr.. Brian has been teaching dane
Ing. and as Instructor OF others. ne
has gone thoroughly into the funca-
mentals OF his art. and has had op-
portunities to create and devotion
many unusual steps and movements
Mr.. Brian's originality found express
sions in the location OF his school
Believing In the paramount virtue OF
dancing as health-producing ana
sustaining recreation. Mr.. Brian put
his studio where these elements
would find the greatest emphasis. SO
he took his pupils TO the top OF one
OF the loftiest Of New York's hoteis.
Far removed from the annoyance OF
interlopers. Mr.. Brian and his disci-
pies have danced away the hours with
the sky as their only canopy. ana
with the clang OF the trolley car ana
all the confused and disconcerting
hum OF the city out OF earshot. Win
the exception % being roofiess, Mr.
Brian's hotel-top studio was In every
respect as we'll appointed as the
atelier Of any OF the instructors IN
the exhilarating measures OF the tox
uot to the 400. II f. rumored that az
the close OF the combined engagement
OF the three stars in The Girl prom
Utah" Mr. Brian Is TO leave the stage
which he has danced on for so many
years. and devote all his time 10
teaching New Workers dance steps.
His studio has been 20 successful at
ready that ~ f. requiring considera-
BILE Of his time and he hopes TO BE-
able 10 give n all his efforts in an
other year or two. Mr.. Brian believes
that the now all prevailing tox trot
will ultimately give way 10 the old
or One-step which he says o. the one
dance Of all the modern steps that
can be Standardized.

JULY WEATHER REPORT.

The report of the U. S. Weather Bu-
reau at Rapid City shows that July had
only five clear days, the remaining
twenty.six having been cloudy. The
total precipitation of 462 inches which
is enormous for this section, does not
nearly approach the record for that
month which was made in July Of 1905
with total Of 8 ,66 inches, and in 1912
when the total was 664 inches. The
normal amount Of precipitation for July
is 2.07 inches. The total accumu lated
excess since the first OF the year is 9. 46
inches more than in the average year.
Total precipitation since January LIST,
1899 inches.
However all previous records were
broken for cold weather. The highest
point reached by the thermometer was
81 degrees with the lowest going down
to IL degrees. The mean temperature
was 63.7 degrees, which is about seven
degrees below normal In previous
years the nearest approach to this record
was in the year Of 1905 and 1907 when
the mean temperature for July was 81
degrees.

INDIANS PRoPHEsY LONG
AND COLD WINTER.

The season so far verities the weather
predictions of the Indians who occasion
ally visit the Mesa Verde National Park
in Southwestern Colorado for trading
purposes, but who never stay an hour
longer than is necessary because Of their
dread of the little people" whom they
believe still inhabit, in spirit form, the
prehistoric cliff dwellings that have
mado the Mancos Valley famous the
world over. Last fall the Mesa Verde
Prairie Dogs deserted their villages for
new ones and the Indians have been
shaking their heads over it all winter.
"Rain, much rain" they say rain all
summer" So far they seem to have
predicted right
And now they are again shaking their
heads "Cold, much eold," they say /;
'bad winter coming" And why? Be-
cause this summer game has been un-
usually plentiful on the Mesa Verde.
Deer are more frequently seen than for
years. Rabbits and hares are SO mum
erous one can scarcely go about without
seeing them in large numbers. Coyotes
and mountain lions are also unusually
plentiful, which may be explained by
the abundance of the small game on
] which they live"

buyer from Lake Andes, 5. d., and will
look over the country with view Of

To say that we have had plenty OF

lightly; we have had an over abundance.
We had five big rains one right after
the other, with but an interval Of few
hours intervening, and two Of them
were regular torrents The haymakers
around here have had hard time OF it,
but are glad, nevertheless, to see the
rain.
