THE NEW OPERA HOUSE IN THIS

The work of completing the inter

is progressing very rapidly and as it
nears completion and the details of
the interior decorations are worked
out it gives Indications of being one
of the neatest and most artistic play

a large gang of carpenters at work
following closely upon the masons,
who have finished their work in the
basement and the opera house audltor

new house a few days ago and we
were impressed with the artistic man
ner in which it is arranged. There are
twelve very neat boes in the house,
six on each side, three up stairs and
three down. The balcony is very
roomy and the front of it instead of
being a,plain circle as Is generally the
case in most houses of. this kind, is
relieved by three boxes built in the
front which add very much to its
appearance.

OF TRAINS
Three hours havign just been cut
from the running' time of passenger
trains between St Louis and New
York, the newspapers of the former
city are discussing the QtteBtlori as to
whether there really is any limit to the
speed at which trains can. run. Un
der the new schedule it is stated that
on favorable pieces of track the trains
move at the rate of 90 miles an hour.
They appear to have arrived at, the
conclusion that there is no limit—and
that the speed can be. indefinitely In-
smoother and- better roads, heavier
rails and more speedy locomotives.

that winter has set in in
this state, and there seems to be no
complaint from anyone. There is not
a state in the union that has had a
finer fall than North Dakota, the
weather held off until it gave the far
mers an opportunity to get well along
with their plowing, which had been
delayed by the large crop that had to
be harvested and threshed. Now when
the coid snap comes it is gradual and
everyone has had ample time to pre
