Peoplo who believe that there can
never be too much fun in this work-o-day
world will do well to make note of
the appearance in this city Monday
night of the most successful, ol nil recent
farce comedies, "Have You Seen
Smith." This piece has been well de
scribed by a western critic as tho "best
existing exemplification of honest' fun."
It is all fun from the first rising to the
last falling of tho curtain. The ludi
crous characters, the laughable happen
ings that follow one another in swift
sequence, the essentially funny plot,
the 'fresh and merry specialties intro-'
duced, are what combine to makeup
entertainments of this class, and "Have
You Seen Smith" is said to be one of 1
the happiest blendiugs of the aliove- !
mentioned ingredients that our stage J
has seen in many a long day. i
Illume Grass. I
Now that the range is being fenced in,
the fanner is beginning to turn his
thoughts and mind to an investigation
of the grass problem. Owing to the ab
sence of rain through the summer sea
son, the great difficulty has been to find
a grass well adapted to such condition ;
one that would live and reseed from
year to year and remain green the year
around. A"dozen or more varieties of
Oriental grasses wero given a trial, but
they were all objectionable in one way
or another, until finally the Russian
brome gra68 was given a thorough test,
and from all reports it is certainly the
grass for this country. In Dmilasa
county there aro fields of this grass that
have not been resown for five years, and
a nicer stand of grass could not be found
anywhere. It is very deep rooted and
covers every inch of the ground, forming
a stiff sod, and will stand grazing the
year around without the slightest injury
to it. When kept pastured down, it re
mains green through the dry season,
and if allowed to mature, grows to a
height of a Don t three feet and produces
about two tons of bay to the acre. The
hay is said to be very nutritious and
much relished by horses and cattle.
Tlils supplies a long-felt want with
farmers who are cut off from outside
range and otherwise would be forced to
do one of two things sell their cows or
feed them grain hay the year around.
The supply of this gras9 seed seems to
bo very limited, but all that can be
procured la being put into the ground,
and within thu next year we hope to
see green pastures In every direction.

A Tcinneruncu Lecture.
A man named Rower, who has been
working for Andrew Keller as baker,
was arrested lust night by Mr, Phirman
for being drunk ond disorderly. Uower
baa been on a spree for a week. He was
arrested Wednesday by the marshal and
kept in tho ealaboosj till he had slept
off hia debauch, when he was turned
loose at the request of hia wife. Ho had
$5 30 iiv hia pocket when arreBted last
Wednesday, and this sum the marshal
turned over to Mr. Keller so that MrB,
Bower might be sure to get it. This
morning Bower, still under the frenzy
of alcohol, butted his head againet the
grated iron door of bis cell, whether
with the object of butting out his brains
or forcing the door is not known.
Bower may have intended to end his
life for it is said he made a similar at
tempt some timo ago. At any rate ho
came near ranking a complete j b ol it, as
he cut and bruised his head frightfully
and lost so much blood from the wounds
that when a physician was called the
man's pulse beats and heart action were
so weak that tho doctor for a moment
thought he was gone. Ho rallied, how
ever, in a short timo under tho doctor's
care ; out a sight of him, as ho lies on
the jail pallette, p.ilu and haggard and
smeared with his own blood, is a better
temperance lecturo than any that ever
fell from the lips of a Gough or n Fran
ces Willard. The worst of it is tho
etupid brute has a wife and three little
children depending on him for their
daily bread.
