On Thursday evening, May 25 the
G ilson & Brad field company will pres
ent that cool delightful farce comedy,
"A Bachelor's Honeymoon" at the
Montpelier Theatre. "A Baclilor's
ftoneymoou" is one of the daintiest
comedies ever presented oil the
Ajmerican stage, and it itas had suc
cessful runs in all the large cities of
the east, playinga 267-nights engage
ment at Madison Square Theatre in
New York. Hoyt's comedies always
please and "A Bachelor's Honey
moon" is pronounced one of the very
best of Hoyt's productions. Nothing
better in the comedy line lias ever
been presented in this city.
At a meeting of King Solomc n
lodge laHt night it was decided to
celebrate St. John's Day, on June 2U,
with a picnic on Pine Creek, four
miles from Cokeville. All members
of the Masonic fraternity, their
families and members of the Eastern
Star will participate in the festevities
of the day. A special train, leaving
here at 8 a. ni., will take the party to
Cokeville, and the good people of
that town will provide conveyances
to the picnic grounds. One of the fea
tures of the day will be a big troig
dinner, the Cokeville members of tfie
fraternity having promised to.supply
».sufficient number of the speckled
beetles to feed a multitude.
idnight Sunday night this,
valley was visited by the worst wind,
hail and rain storm that it has ex
perienced for some time. The storm
was preceded by a lively electrical
disturbance, which put the Bear Lake
Power Co's, plant at Paris out of com
mission by burning out several coils
in the dynamo. This put the city in
darkness and shortly aftewards light
ing struck Charlie Pearce's barn, in
the east part of town, setting it allre.
It was some time before those who
responded to the alarm, were able to
locate the fire and after much diffi
culty the hook and ladder truck was
gotten to the scene. The down pour
of rain prevented the ftames from
gaining much headway, and the few
iwlio braved the Storni had hut little
trouble in putting the fire out. The
ijamage to the stable was very light.
Mayor Hoff requests the Examiner
to remind the citizens of Montpelier
that there is an ordinance prohibit
ing stock from running at large in the
city limits, and that the ordinance is
going to be enforced. The "kids'.'
are also reminded that there is a cur
few ordinance, which they wiil he
expected to pay some heed to itere
3 ter. The people are also requested
bear in mind that there is a law
prohibiting the throwing of paper or
ijhbbisli of any kind in the streets of
the city. The Mayor father requests
the Examiner to remind the owners
of dogs that tax on their canines will
be due on June 1st. The dog census
Of Montpelier hasn't been taken late
ly, but it is certain that if the tax
was paid on every dog in town, the
oity's exchequer would bo enriched
to the amount of nearly $5tK). The
tax is «8 on male and $5 on female
dogs. Get ready to pnngle up when
the collector comes around.

Sheep-shearing Plant Burned.
From present indications Star Val
ley's fair name is to be blotted by a
cattle and sheep war. Last. Saturday
some foul fiend scattered poisoned
grain on the bedding ground of the
Roberts Brothers sheep ami seven
sheep were killed. A horse evident
ly ate too much to prove fatal and lie
is recovering
On Wednesday the shearing filant
of Will Boos up Crow Creek was
burned to the ground, and evidently
the same party had set lire to tile
Cazier shearing plant, but after burn
ing part of the floor, wall and roof
tlie fire had burned itself out.
Fortunately the machinery of t lie
Boos plant had been stored away
when tlie season was over last year.
The machinery was in the Cazier
plant, but apparently tlie fire lias
done it no harm.
No clue to the incendiary lias been
found yet.—Afton Independent.
