NO ROAST COMING FUR MOOSE PLAYLET
Second Night of Are You a Moose More Funny Than First; Some
 High Lights in Performance. ..

A splendid house greeted the play CTS on the second evening of their wo-day date, and to say the audi ence was pleased would be using up ink It is always thought to be no more than the square thing to eulo- gize home folks, but MT Wilson, the director of the production, told us to go ahead and roast wherever roasting was judicious. Our roast err is laid up for repairs and we shall not need it. In dealing with MT Wilson's own work we will pass by quickly. He was and is now one of the funniest men who ever stepped his foot on the American stage. He has drilled a lot of people into the right way of doing farce comedy Snap, vigor and pep" that was the order of the day and his ladies and gentlemen who surrounded him were apt and talented.
 Miss May Richards was the gum chewing soubrette and she can act as well as she can chew gum and she sure did have some 'chaW" last night Miss Ida May Golze was the juvenile
 
 at MT. Wilson with all the fondness of newly (and in between the lines l might mention that MT. Will son must have had something on that gray hair of his.) Miss Moni- han did the lady who wanted wen geance. She got it. She mixed things around that stage in a man. her which would require seventeen district attorneys to straighten out We have seen her work before and wesknew she would deliver the goods.
 Miss Bernice w. Egelston was the uncongenial mother-in-law, and let us say right here and now, "Bernice, we don't want you in our family" She was chased through the audience by Special Cops Byrd and Tavenner. One lady in row s got so frightened she lost her gum. Miss Egelston is a star all by her lonesomes.
 George Anderson was the "spinort. " He can sing as well as he can act and he can act. Charles w. Miller was the funny old man who got soused on Jamaica ginger He was all that the program claimed for him. Earl Ullom and Jack Lunsford were the two buffers, and they buttled right cute. Dr. Lorenzo Boido and Thomas brennan were the grand or ganizer and the keeper of the nut factory and they were both well up on their job.
 The vocal numbers in between acts were of a high order. those of Mrs. Hoover and Walter J. Hayt being of an especially pleasing nature. The lodge will net a neat sum out of the venture and the play will be used in all cities as an asset of the order. At least James P. Lavin said so, and he gave the presentation speech. In closing we might state that the rendition of the theatric satire by our good old friend Lavin was one of the real good things of the evening You know the title-''The Other One Was l Booth J. M. S.

Nicola, instructor in wind instru-
ments, and leader of the University

WARWICK FOR
STATE SENATOR
Popular Sssseton Man Filings
His Hat into the Ring.

Andrew Marvick of this city has
announced himself for State Sena-
tor from Roberts County, subject
TO the will of tine Republican voters
at The Primary, May 25rd. MIR.
Marvick has made splendid record
the two terms he has represented
Roberts County and if the matter
OF his return is left TO the voters
his election is assured. as the people
OF this county have had enough of
this sending one NAV one term and
another man the next. What can
a man accomplish the first term.
Why a person hardly learns the
way i'll and out of the capitol the
first wear, much less to try and
accomplish anything.
MIR. Marvicls has at both terms
served on number of important
committees The first session he
WAS chairman of the Agricultural
Committee, and member of each
OF the following committees: State
Affairs, Municipal, Highway,
Bridges and Ferries, Banks and
Banking, Public Institutions and
Public Health.
Last session he was chairman of
the Appropriation Committee, the
one important appointment, not
only in the Sentate, but to the
entire state. He was also mem-
ber of these committees: Agricul-
tural, Bank and Banking, Drain
age, Elections, Public Health and
Temperance.
1T one will take the trouble to
look upt the record OF MIR. Marvick
while in the senate, just to see
how he did vote OH the many bills
that came up for passage, will find
that i'll every instance he was vot-
ing for the good of the people.
There are always a lot of bills
come up that look harmless but it's
dollars to douglinuts there's a mig
ger in the fence somewhere, or the
bill would never be introduced and
what we want to represent Roberts
county are men who can find this
nigger.

In the papers read it was stated

STOCK SMOTHER
IN CLOSED BARN
Twelve Head of Cattle and
Three Horses Die.

One ofthe strangest cases of
stock sutfocation and strangu-
lation on record was brought to
light when Il. e. Empey who
farms two miles from Modridge
came to the city with informa-
ton that during the night IL
head of cattle and three horses
died in his large barn apparently
from strangulation and the want
of fresh air.
The barn i'm which the stock
sought shelter for the night is u
large one and practically air
tight on three sides. On the
fourth side there is Il large door
which is never closed. being in
fact frozen so that it could not be
shut.
When found the next morning
nine heifers coming fresh i'm the
spring, and three spring calves,
two mares j and 10 years old
and a ); year old gelding We're
found dead, their tongues hang
ling out as though from lack of
air. There We're no signs of a
Struggle. Four head of cattle
We're alive but in a dazed COM
dltion, although they We're quick
ly revived when driven out into
| fresh air.
Mr.. Empey's theory is that
the wind during the night was
from such a direction that none
entered the barn and that the
air soon became fouled from
manure gases and other barn
odor, the lack of Il draft through
the place preventing this air
from being mltigatcd.
Farmers over the state are
being warned of this occurance
that they might protect them
selves from similar loss through
lack of proper ventilation in their
barns.
