A man of mystery.
The real treat of the season is in
store for our theatre goers Saturday
I night, February 2nd, at Amusement
j Hall, where leary di Hagen present
j their great logical, up-to-date society
J melo-drama “A Man of Mystery” by
j Mark E. Swan. Mr. Swan’s name is
J a guarantee for the merit of the pieu ( ’
jas his plays, “Brown’s in Town.”
j “Whose Baby are You,” etc, have
made him famous as a playwright,
while the firm of Leary tk have
never allowed their names to he con
/
nected with anything hut the biggest
and b« st sut ces.eg of the stage.
In “A Man of Mystery” the climax
of melodrama art has been reached
“Strong*r than Trilby.” better than
“Dr. Jtckyl and Mr. Hyde,” and
greater than “The Great Ruby” wav
the verdict of the New York Journal
Pack* d houses everywhere great* d
this great melodrama in all the large ]
I eastern cities lu.->tycar and this is the
tjist time the pi* ce lias ever been 1
taken into the smaller cities of the
country.
'The play deals with the nt farious 1
doings of one Richard G.cnWond, a j
no oi ious thief; "who poses as a society
man and a philanthropist, and swin
dles and robs his friends a,ud benefac
tors, not through tlm ordinary chan
nels employed by such scour it reis, bui j
through his mastery of the science ot
hypos ism Tim exciting details of
tus last crime, escape and tiiml detec
tion ui** piupllic vily portru) ud and
form the /strongest con hiuatinu of
events ill) iginable, upon whijh to
found a play. The heart iotesest is
intense an I Ihe comedy element never
looking. The climaxes are the stion- I
got ever attempted on the stage, and
literally lift the audience from its feet
with excitement The company is
pioouhly the strongest, taken all in ail
that there is on the road. It is head- .
ed by tho-e gifted and justly famous
artists, Forest Flood and Miss Maude
ohepard, while Lew Kelley the fun
niest of a'l funny comedians has been i
especially engage J for the iole of Noah
Lott. It is a play for the people and
never fails to please. No such play
or company as this has visited this
section of the country iu many years.
The rejent rain and raise in old
Salt rivc-r, is a boon to the valley ike
value of which cannot now be appre

is bank full, some work being done on
the banks raising the low places. Tile
East branch Ims 7,000 inches which is
flooding the cultivated lands at the

J. Chandler has 14 men irrigating day
and night, expecting to soak ah >ut I
1,000 acres of which 320 will be
planted m alfalfa the balance being
already ret to alfalfa. The Highland
canal bus 3,000 inches, running in it
and the alfalfa and gram lands are
being soaked. This bountious harvest

3 crops of alfalfa unde*- the dry canals.
This brilliant outlook t>r the farmer is
a welcome guest, and will sreure to

A slock holders meeting of the
Zenos Co-op Institution was held
Monday in Co-op hall. The books and
reports of the institution was given
over and the standing cf the institu
tion was found to be on a much better
basis than anticipated by most of the
stockholders. While no dividend was
declared—owing to the dull season
the past year, yeat a substantial profit
' was made. And the stockholders were
quite well phased with the report.

Charles Peterson Wednesday in
troduced a hill io tax the net proceeds
of mines in the territory. Mines whose
annual production did not exceed
$50,000 per annum to be exempt from
the operation of the act.
This hill should because a law as
according to the tax lists of the ter
ritory there is only $40,000,000 dol
lars of mining property taxed, wjiich
the mining tutere'.ts of the territory
will aggregate, more than four biiiien
and there is no reason why the mines
should not carry their just proportion
of the expenses of the territory.
The legislature continues to grind
out its hills, but all the work is con
servative, and of a nature to jiene&fe
the people. There seems to boa ten
dency on the past of both. the
and council to curtail all unnecessary
expenses, a move that will commend
itself to the citizens of our territory, 1
