"The Sidewalks of New York'
is the next attraction at tne Grand
Opera House, Tuesday evening Oct
31. As its title indicates, the play
is a drama dealing with life as it ex
ists in New York today. There are
scenes of peril and escape, villany
and courage. The author, Scott
Marble has taken special pains to
show the comedy side of life on New
York's sidewalks. The action of
the play is rapid, the scenes graphic
and picturesque localities in New
York, its comic incidents naturally
strong and highly diverting, its
dramatic portions strong and inter
esting, and its sensational features
startlingly real and decidedly novel
It is full to the brim with love, crime
and vengeance, relieved,
of
course, by bright, sparkling special
ties and broad comedy features,
This successful melodrama is found
ed upon life in the great metropolis
There is plenty to stir the blood
in ttie startling scenes ol violence
and crime, and in its laughable
comedy features. The ' thriller'
of the play is the daring dive made
by Paul J. Tustin, a professioua
diver. 1 Ins startling scene occur
in ine uura act. it represents an
old deserted distillery and shot
tower. The villian had thrown the
heroine into the dark, cruel waters
of the F.ast River, when from the
shot tower, Tustin who had wit
nessed the deed, jumps a distance
of 40 feet into a tank containin
but three feet ot water.

The burglars who robbed A. R.

there was no post mark on it. and

The necessity of a general alarm,
to arouse our people in case of fire,
superior to the present system,
which is only intended, and surely
does no more than merely to enable
the firemen to locate the fire, (if
they hear it ) was fully demonstrat
ed Friday morning last. Scarcely
anybody knew that a fire had taken
place until the next day.
The dramatic recital, given by
Miss Laura M. Ruff, elocutionist,
of the Normal School, in the Audi
torium, Monday evening, was at
tended by a large audience. Miss
Ruff is a talented reader, graceful
in her movements, and utters every
word in a very distinct manner.
She was ably assisted by Mrs. Sut
liff, Miss Bowman and Mr. Breon,
also of the Normal.
The repeated heavy blizzards re
ported to have visited the Western
States has caused Captain J. B.
Robison to fear for the safety of his
son Boyd, who has been located in
Leton County, Montana, engaged
at sheep herding for some time past.
Inasmuch, as many herdsmen were
lost in the storm and his parents
having received no word from him,
Mr. Robison telegraphed, and re
ceived a reply from the postmaster
ta Choteau, Montana, saying that
his son was all right.
The whereabouts of Hnos Jacoby,
aged thirteen years, son of Mrs.
Kdward Jacoby, of Third street,
this town, who disappeared from
his home more than a week ago,
are still unknown. His mother is
greatly worried, and although she
has resorted to every method which
her ingenuity can suggest, to get
some trace ol her boy, she has been
unsuccessful. When last seen, the
lad was in company with some
strangers, who had been here at
tending the fair, and it is the opin
ion of those who are acquainted with
his disposition, that he has run away
with them.
In our opinion no diversion from
the prosy details of life is more
pleasant than witnessing the per
formance of a real good play, and
then again there is nothing more
tiresome or disgusting than to sit
and watch a lot of incompetents try
to act. 1 here was an outfit here
not long ago, that didn't leave a
very good impression, but in their
wildest flights of theatrical degen
eracy, they never quite reached that
degree of rottenness attained by the
Irish Alderman at the Opera
House last night. The only re
deeming feature was that but few
people were "sold."
A warning against street fires is
in order. Raking tip into a pile
and applying a match is a popular
method of disposing of the great
riiass of dead leaves that fall from
the trees at this time of year, and
cover the walks and streets. These
fires are not always watched as care
fully as a consideration for safety
demands that they should be. Tues
day morning, five fires were seen
burning at the same time, and
children were allowed to play
around some of them. Fatalities
have been recorded in large num
bers as a result of allowing young
sters to indulge in this sort of pass
time. Watch the fires closely and
insist on children keeping away
from them.
