ssss As U often the cose lu the nma r theatrical Hue the unexpected LPcd, not 'nfrcqucutly ad riely W tnc l10Peful aspirants for Tonight honors. It Is therefore Itlfylng to cord the clcvcMyork done t Martin' hall on Friday Lolug la"1 In the production of ..Right Avenged," a charming four-act melodrama, by the local talent. The hall was nicely filled fllth an appreciative and enthu siastic audience whose ntten ti0I1 was engrossed through oUt the evening by the smooth wi absorbing run of the play. The stage settings were in keeping with the spirit of the drama, the shifting of scenes went off without a hitch and the cutire play was as evenly rendered as if it bad been in the hands of profes ,iouals. There were no long waits between acts, the time being filled j by catching specialties. The rendition after the first act by Verne Alderman of the "Tramp's Soliloquy" was very effective and portrayed a vivid picture of the jbaadoned creature who falls from the high estate of man to tread the besotted paths of sin. After the second act Miss Slna Orrcll held tbe audience spellbound by her splendid rendition of "Zazella," a Spanish romance and tragedy full of love, jealousy, hate, murder, re oorseand contrition. Miss Orrell was costumed os a Spanish beauty and looked the part to perfection. She is well to the top as an clo qutionist, has a clear, penetrating and winning voice and her enun ciation is perfect. She was warmly applauded for her effort and merited the hearty greeting she received. After the third act Winters Wallace sang "Asleep in the Deep," and for his effort got a storm of ap plause, for which he reappeared and gracefully bowed his thanks. In the last act Miss Ruth Ulair, who had played well her part throughout the drnmn, gave the audience an exhibition of fancy and artistic dancing. The little lady is as cute as she is sweet and was a genuine delight to all. Mr David son, our "Sol," us the heavy villain was a howling suc, and ia the climax went to his death be fore the limelights with the same daredevil recklessness that char acterized his bearing throughout the play. Harry Pickard, as the true friend and legal light, played the role well, v iss Lettn Vealch, the leading lady and heroine of the play, acted well her part as the happy bride, the wronged wife, the destitute and loving mother, and the final triumph into peaceful and liappy domestic bliss. Miss Ethel Walters as "Blossom" did herself proud and brought merriment and joy to the audience by her quaint ethiopean antics. Miss Lizzie Knox presided at the piano and delighted the audience with several select and difficult numbers. The mem hereof the troupe, one nnd all, did well. The show was a success and everybody went home feeling tetter that they had attended the play. Wat, DAM. The large dam on the Coast Fork south of town that impounds the water which is used for the motive power of Stone's flour mill, has been thoroughly overhauled, re paired and on the east side en larged back to the high ground, neavily braced and the embank' nent filled in with gravel. The structure now looks as if it could ad would withstand the heavy strain of the water when the river I fills its banks. HKY OROW THKRB. Win H. Harrison, who resides n his farm some seven miles out n Mosby creek, was a pleasant caller at the Nugget office last Mouday, and didn't do a thing but feave the office a dozen ns nice late Crawfords ns were ever grown out fdoors. Mr. Harrison said that e had several trees loaded with tbem this year and that no one need to doubt that peach growing could be successfully carried on $ere. T1I1C CKMItTlCKY On the sloping hillside west of town in a spacious opening sur rounded by evergreen trees is the quiet, peaceful home of those who havctrugged through life's shifting patliB; have wearied by the way side; have passed into eternal sleep nnd the beyond. A visit to this home of peace discloses the fnct that the living in most cases have cared well for the loved ones rest ing there by perpetuating their memory in columns of marble and well-kept and flower-bestrewed mounds, but there are many ne glectcd graves which time and the elements have rendered so obscure as to be hardly traceable by one who visits that hallowed spot; the little boards that once marked the last earthly dwelling of the loved and lost have rotted away and the winds and rains have razed the mounds so that some are almost disccmable. Those who had them in keeping have perhaps moved to other climes and thus neglect has come. There is or should be in the directorate of this last resting place a fund for the care and keep ing in go )d order of the mounds and grounds allotted to each and all who sleep in this city of the dead. A little expense, tinctured with love and grateful remem brance, would make and keep those sacred grounds in perfect con dition, to the honor of the dead and the credit of the living, and then there would be no neglected graves. I'OR GOLD HIM.. Melvin Damewood, who has been engaged in farming west of this city, and who recently sold his place, was n caller at the Nugget office last Monday, and requested his address to be changed to Gold Hill, where he removed this week, and where he expects to make his future home. Mr. Dame wood is a worthy citizen, and leaves many friends here who will be pleased to learn of any good fortune coming his way. The Nuuget joins in wishing him and his family the best of success. Tint DKICR WII.I. SUPl'KR. Sure enough the deer which fre quent the secluded wilderness of Mosby Creek will suffer this week. Walt Baker, Attorney F. G. Eby and Toot Sanders hied themselves into the dense wilds of that famous creek last Tuesday, with a large and well selected camp outfit bent upon taking a good share of the deer which inhabit that section. Talk about fishing yarns! Wait until you hear some of those "hair breadth 'scapes," when these lovers of the chase return. I.AKGli LAWTONS. Mrs. Chas. Van Fleet, of this city, was a caller at the Nugget Saturday afternoon, and presented the office with a bunch ol Lawton blackberries hard to surpass. On five stems were nineteen ripe berries nnd twenty-seven green ones. The ripe berries weighed just a quarter of a pound, while the larger ones of the bunch measured three inches and a quarter around. They were the largest ber,ries seen here. TO GICT A I1UYUR. Hansen Bros, are on the right track. They know how to get a thev have an article for sale. The other day they ad vertised in the Nugget a team for sale. The next week Mr. Hansen came in and ordered the ad out saying that the first week brought a buvcr. He paid for Ins ad aim nn wav reioicinir. When you want to make a sale, try it.
