A Wholesome Story Well Told.

“Monte Cristo,” which will be at the opera house, Saturday, August 21st, is one of the greatest human nature plays ever written and in its appeal to the imagination through the instinctive love of adventure and romance it is without an eq.ir.l. It is a most ingeniously constructed pfay, the action is brisk and the situations give fine opportunity for the most elaborate scenic and mechanical effects. The incidents follow with cleverness and they are of true, cumulative interest that reaches great power in the famous climax of “The World Is Mine” and others. The production is under the direction of Fred G. Conrad. He brings a metropolitan company and special scenery. Mayor B. F. Earle, of Niles, Mich., is preparing to file a suit against the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railway for $60,000. The suit is the outcome of an accident at Mishawaka, Ind., in which his son, Russell Earle, was killed, and his friend, Moses Harris, was seriously hurt. The boys were driving an auto when the Lake Shore limited bore down on them with fatal results. The Sunday papers told of a wreck on the Rio Grand & Western road near Colorado Springs Saturday, in which eight persons were killed and fifty wounded. Among the wounded was the name of Dr. Bernie Maloy, of Steger, 111., son of Mrs. James Maloy, of Rensselaer, and the report was circulated here that he was killed. The report caused his mother much worry until a telegram was received from him a little later that he was not even injured, and that he would arrive home today. Dr. Maloy was returning from an extended western trip. He visited San Francisco, where he saw Gus Phillips open the Alcazar theatre. He visited among other points Medford, Oregon, where George E. Marshall, former editor of the Republican, now resides. He thinks the vicinity of Medford is a paradise on earth and he may decide to locate in that state. Did you ever Bit on a mossy bank and look at the sun-kissed brook as it merrily dances in glee around the protruding pebbles and feel glad that you were alive? Well, that is the same sensation that you experience when you go to see Eli and Jane, the clever show that is soon be be here. It is a laughing, bubbling pure heart and home story. When the curtain drops on the last act you feel as though you had been refreshed by a drink of good cool spring water. Harry Green in the title role is enough to insure a good performance. August 19th. Cakes, vanilla wafers, lemon snaps, coffee cakes, raison cakes, ginger snaps, cheese wafers, graham crackers, potato chips and lots of good things ready to eat at C.' C. Starr A Co.’s.
