ful supply of game, having secured 11
deer, 2 bear and a panthr. The pan
ther was killed by Mr. Madison just
in time to save the life cf valuable
hunting dog. The dog was in ad
vance of his owner and the panther
was crouched in a tree, over a deer
run and as the dog passed by, leaped
upon him. The dog's cries soon
brought bis master to the scene aud
knowing that bis faithfol canine bad
no show against the ferocious animal.

away. The shot bad the desired

The Missouri Girl
is a comedy drama that produces more
genuine, hearty laughter than any
thing yet written. In connection
ith a strong and interesting plot, it
contains the most ludiroons situations
ever conoeived. The company pre
senting the play this season Is com
posed of some of the best known peo
ple In the theatrical profession, who
are ful'y capable of extracting tnis
fun, and doling it out to the poblio
in a most .satisfactory manner. Nine
of the old favorites remain in the
cast ; some of them have played their
respective rolls continuously for
eight seasons. This guarantees a first
class performance. The new people
dded for this season were selected
for their peculiar 'fitness for the roles
they are to assume and it is safe to
predict that a "better than ever" line
can safely be. added to tbe advertising
matter.
The vaudeville portion "I the show

The production will be seen in its
entirety at the Opera House Saturday
Oct 8.

rangements for removing to this
plar. He says, after Boing thor
ooghly over Rogoe River Valley, it is
a difficult matter to decide just where
he ought to locate as each cf the
places have their advantages, but
aftei welgbiug the matter carefully
believes that Grants Pass really has
the best of it, and so he will make
this place his future borne.
