Admirers of tho rural drama, with
Its eccentric comad y characters and
• the rest of the distinctive elements
til at go to make up this form of stage
representation, will Uml much to
uniuse and Instruct them In "Our
New Minister.’* which made Its first
appearance at the Elk's Opera House
last evening.
There are a plenty of laugh* and
some tears,There are tho Inevitable
rustic characters—tho vlllugo con
stable. tho storo-kee||'r, the long
tongued old maid, the drunkard who
is making an honest elTort to reform,
and there are two ministers—one
crabbed, puritanical and heartless;
tho other a sunny-tempered, liberal,
manly young person with "advanced
Wiens," who Instilled Into tho citizens
if Hardscrabble, N. II., a higher con
ception of religious life.
Tho singing of Edith Mlllward was

plauded. Altogether, tho play Is

SEWER AND HIGHWAY.
\Vhen there Is so much to bo done,
is unf Ir to continually be howl
mg for more; but ir does seem to
ns, and many others huvo so ex
pressed themselves, that the one
most urgent thing before Bluefleld
and Graham Is the Improvement of
the road between, and the settlement
of the sewerage question. We speak
of these together because It would
appear that the work of both can be
done at the same tlmo to advantage.
\s to the sewer, wo havo heard of
several gentlemen in Bluefleld who
hlnk they are being damaged, and
hat the aid of the courts will be
nvoked unless thero Is some begin
ning made to abate the nuisance In
he West end. Much moro delay. It
s stated, will become too great a
ax upon the patience of these men.
THE GREEN EYED
MONSTER.
The Fairmont Wost Virginian
says Huntington is “.Jealous of
Fairmont In the matter of candidates
'or governor.” Couldn’t bo anything
else, surely. As cities you’re both
jealous of Bluefleld.

edy of the times, will be played at
the Klk« Opera House next Saturday
and the company ijprsenting It will
disclose, it is promised, an average
of vocal and acting excellence rarely
shown In this lino of stage work.
Many of those who will appear have

seen “Tho Prince of Pllsen.’* its re
markable success both hero and
abroad needs no extenuation. Frank
Plxloy provides a humorous-roman
tic story deftly Ingenious In Its com
plications and picturesquely placed on
the shores of the Mediterranean, un
der the blue skies of the Hlverla.
Such a btory was an Inspiration to
the composer and from Gustav Lu

monies that fitted the lyrics and gave
to the entertainment such song geins

“Pictures In tho Smoke," "The Song
of the Cities," "Heidelberg," "The
Tale of the Sea Shell," "Tho Pretty
City Widow," and a dozen others.
The cast will present Mr. Jess Dandy

cinnati brewer, who Innocently has
had i^-lncely honors thrust upon him
Mr. Dndy Is the Ideal comedian for
tho j^irt; his personality exudes hu

Ida Stanhope, dashing, cldc and
ar.d graceful will be seen as the
vivacious widow and this character
has never been more charmingly out
lined. Miss Stanhope scored decided
ly in this character when she appear
ed In It in New York two seasons
ago. George Lydecker and Soars
Storerjn the respective roles of the
