through to pcifcctiou.
From liie l-uiiiiiing of the play to the
end the audienee a kept in a laughing
iikkkI. Mr. Walter A. Sherlock pre
sented iiionI charming apciirance an
a mother and widow, and her daughter,
Mi Mae Snider, looked i IxMtiitiful on
the fclage that even ('. IC. Auderon fell
in love with her. III the emotional and
tragedy part Mi Snider certainly
allowed gtyt dramatic ahility. As a
tf maker 'li.M A intermit! haa no pror
ill thin community. lie looked the
picture of a real lover iiinl u huudoiiie
gentleman.
A. Y. lleiich wan the "real thing, "
ml, a an up-to-date ilude, "Don't cher
Know," he carried hi part through the
'iitire play inoet admirahly.
When "Uncle Joh" arrived from
Vermont the audience wa spell-bound
J. V.. MWiarrcy soon proved that he hud
a thorough conception of the part of
one old farmer who could not he
"bunkoed." He kept the audience in
food humor all the way through. He
encountered many dillicultics in hxa
ting Lis iter in New York. However,
he had read the newpaiera and kept
Ida eye, otien.
I,ce Her 1 1 aa tho "Count cle Courville,"
a French nohleiiiuii, represented the
Freiicliiiian in perfect stylo. Ilia accent
and liia general Hpearance on the stage
deceived uianv of hi friend, who are
yet in doiiht that it wan I-ee at all. He
played hi purt nobly, and, although lie
faile.l to Hccomplinh hi puriHise in the
plot, he will lie looked uHin as the at
traction in the future.
I'.raNtiiH, the colored ttcrvant, was
always in troiihle. Manly Whortou,
who took the part of the servant, know
Id place as audi, and was always on
time to RHit the guests who vinitcd his
"MifHIlH."
Walter Sherlock na "MulcHhoy," the
live keeper, left an impression um)M the
audience that will not lie forgotten. Ilia
uoncral makeup wuh stunning. No one
had ever aunpected that Walter wai an
actor, hut after the fi rut minute before
the IimiI light he proved liiuiHelf aa audi.
" Tho liunco etccrer," John Cogghurn,
played hi part well. In Ida fiendish
hi heme with the Count he made tho
audience believe that he wan the gen
uine Bowery chap.
W. F. (irob aa a detective left an itn
preMnion upon the sterner sex to be
always on the lookout for him. lie was
well disguised and the only one at whom
bouquets were thrown, (irob acted the
drunk like an old "rounder."
MiiM Minerva Cluckott, represented by
Irs. C. Ross Anderson, was really get
ting desperate at the way the young
men in the audience winked at her.
She was the typical old maid in make
up and speech. Her part was rather a
difficult one, but she attended to it well,
and never meddled with the other ac
tors' affairs. Hhe was exceptionally
good.
As a whole the drama wa well ren
dered anil no one left the owra houe
displeased, and all winding that the
8orol CI iih would not diband.

Kadng Card For July.
It ha hen decided to have a aerie of
racing content in Itkeview during
Fourth of July week. A committee will
canva the town thi wivk for subacrip
tioiia, and whatever amount can be
raiaed for racing purpose will I hi dupli
cated hy the Ik C-oouty Agricultural
AM'iation. If l-VK) can he raiwd the
Aociation will add VkJ, making f 1 ,MM,
or if f too I rained the Aaocialion will
give a like amount. It i to I Iiokm1
that good home and plenty of them
may In brought here. The racing pro
gram will lie iued a soon a the
(toileting committee complete it work.
The fact that Lakeview did not give any
racing laxt year ought to induce the

Laird's Work
Good Work Done by .Senator Jim
Laird, But the Governor Ve
toed His Best Measure.
Mute Senator Ijird ha been unusual
ly successful this w inter in Udialf of his
constituents, anil those of Modoc in pal
ticular, says the Cedurville Kword.
First and foremost has Ix-en the pas
sage of the bill for paying the coyote
chums coming from his district. This
passed Nith houws and the Governor
lus t greed to sign it, so that there will
be about two hundred and seventy-eight
thousand dollars turned looe in his dis
trict alone. In spile of adverse commit
tees he also has secured the passage by
the henate of a bill declaring the Alturas
Lakeview stage road a public highway
and appropriating twenty thousand
dollars lor its maintenance. What the
fate of the bill w ill lie in the Assembly
is hard to tell ; but the hill is an excel
lent one and the road the worst in Mo
doc county.
I Referring to the coyote bill we regret
' . i 1 1 . ...
to nay our neignoors nnve IOHI, llie
tiovernorevidently forgot his "promise,"
if he ever made one, and promptly ve
toed the measure when it cume before
him for his signature. Some people liv
ing in Lake county were more or less
interested in this California scalp law,
and are losers to a considerable Hmouut
by the veto. J. Q. Adams of Hock
Creek, hud a 1 2,00 claim against the
Mate of California in coyote scalps, we
understand.
John N. Watson, the woolgrower and
ow ner of the "Hosebud Ranch," has in
vested in 5,000 shares of oil stock near
Los Angeles, Cal. His company bus a
well 050 feet deep, and situated 1,1100
feet from a tine flowing well owned by
the (Standard Oil Company. Watson is
likely to become a millionaire and bloat
ed oil magnate ere long. He tells the
I'ost man at I'aisley how Ike Da vies
"works" the people of 'Frisco. Ike
plays the " tenderfoot" and lives on the
fat of the land. ,lle recently went into
aa automobile establishment in the city
and said he was thinking of investing
in one of those "hosidee" wagons. lie
was immediately taken up by the firm,
and given a free ride all over the city
and surroundings, besides being wined
and dined. Ike is thoroughly enjoying
life In the Bay City.

Ukntlkmkm Your little extra put
me in mind of the controversy between

the way w ith your welcome little extra

A Pleasure Trip.
Marx I-Miier and R. M. Kusnill have
jut returned from a pleasure trip to
Lakeview.
They speak in high praie of the kind
treatment received hv them at the bauds
of Lane and Light, the genial proprietors
of the elegant Hotel Lakeview.
They also say that Lakeview should
be proud of ita different business enter
prises and the phenomenal way in
which it recovered from its misfortune
01 last summer. I fie town is built up
in the most approved modern style, and
presenU a very handsome appearance.
The Hotel Lakeview, in particular de
serves special mention. When finished
it will be the fineot in the north.
The merchandise stores are also up-to-date
in every way, and the goods are dis
played with so much artistic taste that
it is a pleasure to look at them.
The boys are eloquent over the kindly
way they were treated by all. Dick
says he did not see much of Marx, but
Marx is silent on the subject. New Era.
Orand Opportuniea Here.
In mentioning the recent Bale of the
Charles D. Sessions place in Warner
valley, Oregon, to C. W. Dent, the Al
turas l'lalndealer, says:
"About twelve years ago Charles D.
Sessions left Fort ttidwell and settled iu
Warner valley. Mr. Sessions was not
burdened with a surplus of the world's
wealth. He had, however, a wagon and
team, a few cows, and, better than all,
he had pluck and industry and a most
estimable wife and family. Instead oi
settling on a lawsD.it, Mr. Sessions loca
ted a sagebrush tlat, built him a small
dwelling aud went to work. He grubbed
sagebrush, dug an irrigating ditch,
planted an orchard and as fast as pos
sible, by his own unaided labor, seeded
his ground to alfalfa. Many thought
Charles was foolish and would soon
starve out. But he didn't. He soon
had a beautiful home, and the other day
sold bis ranch for ft), 000 in cash."
There are many such opportunies in
Luke and Modoc counties for live aud
energetic men, and such opportunities
will not remain untaken long.
The Horse flarket.
From many sources we learn of an in
creased demand for good horses. The
demand for small horses arising from
the exigencies of war in the Philippines,
South Africa and China will cease.
Small horses will then again become a
drug on the market, and not worth their
keep. But the demaud for good horses
for the dray, the truck, the coach,
carriage, farm and saddle will continue.
And the farmer who raises horses of
that kind will not need to seek long for
a market. But he must decide what
class of horses he is going to raise, and
then stick to bis class breed for noth
ing else. The folly of trying to raise
draft horses from little fuss-tail mares
has been apparent, and the result is
seen in a nondescript breed that Is prac-
tically valueless. If you are (toing to
breed draft horses you niit start with
good mares, and stick to that class.
The same rule applies to every other
clas of horses, and the reiring of good
animals of any breed w:l pay. Thus
saith the Altura Plaindealer, and very
truthfully, tco. The man w ho continues
to raise good horses, will always have
the call in the market.
Changed the Brand of "Llcker."
A correspondent to the Yreka Journal
from Happy Camp, Siskiyou county,
says:
"The wild man is now the leading
topic along the Klamath. Report from
Waldo has it that the great and myste
rious has once more come out of his
den in the wood, and presented his gi
gantic form to the gaze of man. The
parties to whose view this apparition
presented itself, say that he was not less
than nine feet high, and that his track
is eighteen inches long, and that tberw
are plainly visible the marks of seven
toes on each loot. His leaps in the
snow measured from ten to fifteen feet,
in snow three feet deep. The parties
who saw him while out hunting, at first
thought that it was an eik, from the
manner in which he broke the brush.
But think of their amazement, when it
reached a clearing, threw up its arms,
stood aud gazed around, and becan
vigorously pulling at hi grizzled beard,
w hen w ith a hideous yell, he fled and
vanished. "

Eastern Tour
fliss Ellen Cobb Visits Washing
ton and Other Points and
Has an Interesting- Time.
M iss Ellen E. Cobb, well known in
Lakeview, and w ho has a host of friends
here who will remember her kindly, has
been making a tour of the principal
cities and important points in the East.
Miss Cobb left about a year ago for her
home iu Lancaster, Mass., after an ex
tended visit with relatives in Lakeview.
She writes an interesting letter to Mrs.
Delia Cobb, giving details of her pleas
ure trip. She was accompanied by a
party of friends, and went first to Phil
adelphia via New York. They visited
the Mint, Independence Hall and Wan
namaker's big store. From there the
party proceeded to Washington, D. C.
Sunday morning they attended divine
service at the church where President
McKinley is a regular attendant, and
saw the President enter his pew. The
Chief Executive rarely fails to go to
church. At the Capitol building Miss
Cobb visited all the principal depart
ments, including the Fishery depart
ment, Bureau of Printing and Engrav
ing, the Navy building and Postotfice,
the Agricultural department, Pension
building, Treasury, Congressional library
and tbe White House. Leaving Wash
ington they went to Mount Vernon and
entered the old church where Wash
ington once attended. At Arlington
they visited the National Cemetery.
Returning to Washington they visited
the Senate and House of Represent
atives and the Supreme Court Cham
bers. They also went to the Smith
sonian Institute and National Museum.
At the latter place they saw all the
treasures that General Grant was pre
sented with on his trip around the world.
Miss Cobb says she thoroughly en
joyed every moment of her tour.
One never realizes the superiority oi
woman so much as when one sees a
bachelor sewing on buttons without a
thimble, pushing the needle auainst the
wall to get it through, and then pulling
at it by hanging on to it with his teeth.
Sam Jones says that our main trouble
are caused by whiskey. Anyone will
fight when he gets Kentucky liquor in
him, and if a rabbit were to take three
drinks of it he would spit in the face o(
a big dog.
