NOBODY HOME, B|G
 MUSICAL REVUE. AT. THEATRE
New York Success Booked to Appear Here on Next Friday and
 Saturday

Nobody Home" with it's wealth of music, comedy and dancing novelty that so completely captivated New York all last season, and has recently enslaved the studios Boston. will be the attraction at the Jefferson theatre on Friday and Saturday, with a matinee Saturday.
 The company is owned and directed by the well known John P. Slocum. who has made both study and sue cess Of musical plays, principally be- cause he stops at no expense for beauty and quality both as to his pro- .ductions and bis cast. '..Nobody Home" is unique and original as far as musical plays go, inasmuch as it really has something of story to start with which is told without resort to vulgar fty and is actually funny Then again the music is of the kind that fingers in your memory and you find yourself whistling. The dancing is both fasci- hating and unique and lots of it, and then there are the girls, all distinct types of American and foreign beauty who sing and dance more than ordi- narily we'll, and can act, too--if you are not too particular
 The cast of Nobody Home" includes such noted players as Percival Knight. Isabelle Randolph, Mabel Withee, Della Niven, Royden Keith, Harry MacDon- ough, Vincent Cassidy. Lew Christie, Edwin Argus, Helen Jost, John Paul. ten. Marguerite Von K Keese, Seibel Lay man and Sylvia Chaulsea.
 Nobody Home is light, pleasing and handsomely staged. There is a story about two lovers and one of those chaps we call Nobody Home" and an actress that wrinkles on her toes like a bit of thistle down.

of Kreisler? who may be said indeed to stand absolutely in a class to himself
 Some would tell you it is his wonderful power as a musician. Others, his extra ordinary dexterity with the bow. Others will tell you that it is the exquisite taste and musicianly feeling which he exhibits when he plays. For my part, think one of the great reasons of his tremen- dous and well deserved popularity is that he never under any circumstances what ever forces his instrument for the sake of some effect He keeps it absolutely within it's legitimate scope, with the re- suit that he develops a tone of surpass- ing beauty and of almost uncanny musi- cal sweetness and quality. How many players are there of whom this can be said?-that they never force the instru- ment, whether 1t be piano, violin, a
 cello or even the human voice, for the sake of making a momentary effect upon the 'groundlings.' Indeed, but few That to me, is one of Kreis1er's greatest charms-that he does not attempt to pro- duce a cello tone from the violin, just as some. 'ceIlists try to produce a violin tone on the cello and as some singers force the voice so as to produce an as- tonishing volume of tone, which pres- ently results in their inability to sing a piano passage, or even mega voce''

LECTURE
ON FORESTRY

At the Methodist church Wednesday
evening Supervisor Harry H. French
of the Holy Cross National forest de-
livered very interesting and instruct
i've lecture on the subject of forestry,
illustrating the same by many stereop-
ticon slides.
Mr.. French s address and the splen-
did illustrations opened the eyes Of
many of his hearers and gave them diff
ferent views of the mission and scope
of the forestry service from what they
have heretofore entertained.
The manner of cutting timber under
the present rules of the forest service
was contrasted with the old time
slashing system or lack of system in
vogue before the government sought to
protect the forests by insisting on the
least waste possible.
The method of collecting and prepa.-
ing forest seed and the work of refor-
estation as pursued by the department
was an interesting feature Of the ad-
dress.
Many of the slides made plain the re-
suits of denuding the forests and de-
stroying the forest covering as re-
suit of fires and showed the almost
impossibility of reforesting such lands
The stock industry was given full at
tention in the lecture and many graz
ing and pasture scenes were shown.
The government biological work was
also discussed and illustrated, the fight
being made on predatory animals in the
forest, the stocking of the streams with
fish, the fire fighting program of the
department., the mining industry car
ried on within the forest. Notwith-
standing some of the enemies of the de-
partment have seen fit to criticise the
government by the Claim that it was
inimical to the mining industry, Mr.
French declares that prospectors and
miners are just as free to go on for
estry lands to prospect for and take
out mineral as they were before the
forest service became operative, the
only requirement being that they act
in good faith and that they shall not
make their mining operations blind
for the purpose of getting monopoly
on large quantities of timber. Legit'
innate prospecting and mining are well
coined and encouraged by the service
Considering the inclemency of the
weather very satisfactory audience
greeted Mr.. French. A couple of mu-
steal selections, vocal solo by Rev.
E. E. Tuck and an instrumental duet.
by the Misses Margaret Kingsbury and
Genevieve Dickson, were greatly en-
joyed by the audience. The affair was
given under the auspices of the La
dies Aid society of the church.

LINCOLN DAY FEAST

Denver, Jan. 3l.-Reports from all
dicate that the Lincoln day banquet in
this city is going to be one of thc
greatest events in the history of the
Republican party in Colorado. Already
n great number Of responses have been
received, and the encouraging part of
the entire matter is the fact that each
response is accompanied by letter
giving suggestions, not only for the
program for that day, but for the party
for the year. -
Again, the encouragement is found
on every hand from the further fact
that those who were allied with tho

Garfield County's First Month
of Drouth Very satisfac-
tory to Prohibitionists
POLICE BUSINESS NIL

Colorado has finished her first month
under the dry regime and the result is
in every sense highly satisfactory to the
friends of the prohibition law. From
all over the state there comes the re-
port of few if any cases of drunken
ness, practically no criminal depreda-
dations as result of liquor and y
minimum Of arrests.
In Denver during the month Of JAN
uary 90 arrests were made for drunk
enness as against 2l2 for the same
month last year for the same cause.
Not only is this most satisfactory
result from a moral standpoint for with
the % per cent of arrests there is the
same proportionate saving in police
court expenses.
In Glenwood, now listen, in Glcr-
wood there was not during the entire
month of January ONE ARREST for
drunkenness and only one arrest during
the whole month for any other reason.
So far as the Post is able to learn not
a single drunken person was seen on
our streets during the month and We
have found no instaces in which the
elimination of the thirst destroying
establishments has occasioned any re-
grets.
And now as to the liquor shipments
of which we have heard SO much. In
the entire county, according to the bills
of lading on file in the office of the
county clerk, just 26 shipments were
made into this county during the en-
tire month of January.
| OF the total number eleven pack
ages came to Glenwood, five to Car
diff, three to Carbondale, two to New
Castle and five to Rifle. OF these G6
shipments three came to the Genwood
drug store for retail distribution under
the statutes and one of those which
came to Carbondale was for Redstone {;
The most of these shipments came
from Kansas City, but some were from
Charles Marshall at Green River, Utah.
| The Post has Il list of the names of the
consignees and is pleased to state that
it does not include the old soaks of the
communities, but for the most part tho
buyers are people who will not abuse,
the law. 4r

 The sending of the Evans passenger list was evidently overlooked by tpc Gateway's Seattle correspondent until yesterday although she left last Sun day. On the list are W. A. Gilmore, formerly candidate for congress, George D. Schofcld, formerly United States Commissioner at Nome, both delegates to the Republican conven- ton. They carry the Nome proxies. Another aboard is c. D. Murane, formerly District Judge at Nome, who is also probably coming to the cOnven- ton. Our own Herbert Tozier is an other passenger on the ship.

 WOULD FREE ASSASSIN

FRANKFORT, Ky, April 13. - A parole for Henry YOutsey, serving a life sentence for conviction of the as- sassination of Governor Goebel was sought today from the state prison commission by it's chairman, Daniel E. O'Sullivan. Several men high in state politics were tried in connection with the Goebel murder. The govern or was mysteriouly shot in 1899 as he was walking near the state capitol building.
 q do not know what view my as sociates will take" said O'Sullivan. But my duty is clear. Youtsey has served more than 16 years and is en titled to a parole by length of service, by continuous valuable work for the state, by the provisions of the law and by every dictate of fairness and humanity.
 "Youtsey was a mere boy in years and those who sought to profit by the assassination are more guilty than he. They are all free"

TODAY'S OLDEST STORY

HOQUIAM, Wash, April 3.-Gum camphor has plugged the biggest loophole in Washington's prohibition law. Inspired to investigate, by the increasing number of drunks, Police Judge Smith learned that grain al- cohol was the most popular tipple. This can be purchased at a drugstore if the purchaser swears it is to be used for mechanical purposes. Smith then ordered all druggists to put a few grains of camphor in each flask of alcohol. It isn't poisonous, and some might stand the taste, but it simply won't stay down.
