At Emporium Opera House.
The "King of will appear
at) the Opera House, next Thursday
evening, Sept. 9th, and will present
one of the most novel and pleasing en
tertainments ever offered the amuse
merit loving public. The program is
overflowing with the rapid-fire fun and
genuine surprises; pretty music and
dazzling scenic eflects form an import
ant part of the entertainment. The
"King of Tramps" is everywhere pre
sented in absolute perfection, never
curtailed in any detail, a fact that
makes this organization still more suc
cessful each successive season. The
management's motto has been, "Per
jjction Makes Perpetual Popularity."

A Warning,
The thieves that stole a grubbing
hoe and shovel on the dug road hill,
near Salt Run, last week, had better re
turn them to the place they got them,
if they don't want to be made public
and land in the coop with the rest.
We saw the parties that took them and
we will give them only a few days to
retnrn them.

The Thimble Club" Entertained.
Mrs. J. A. Smith, of Sterling Run,
entertained "The Thimble Clab" at
her hospitable home Thursday even
ing. Sept. 2nd. These gatherings
weekly have a two-fold purpose, viz:—
The raising of money in a delightful
way and the welding of an unbreakable
chain of friendship. They serve their
purpose admirably. The earlier part
of the evening is spent in conversation
over busied hands. You may hear
often as witty attacks and replies as
are ever heard during the post-prand
ial hour at the dinners to great men.
Nothing becomes monotonous and all
are sorry when half-past nine finds the
club adjourned after the reading of the
minutes, transaction of business and
partaking of tastily prepared refresh
ments. Those present this evening
were: Mrs. Geo. Strawbridge, Mrs. A.
A. Smith, Misses Nora Jordan, Lillian
Strawbridge, Nellie Whiting, Cora
Dice, Elsie Warner, Nettie Kissel,
Mildred Strawbridge, Mrs. C. O. How
lett, Miss R. L. Brink, Carlton Smith,
Rev. J. W. Shank and host and
hostess. XX
At Cape Nome.
We copy this article from a Seattle
Wash., paper, Mr. Pelky being a for
mer Emporium boy:
"A. Pelky, a new arrival at Nome
Alaska, Aug. 6, from the Innoko,
brought a huge poke of coarse gold
and big nuggets, the whole weighing
over ten pounds, of the highe3t grade
gold in Alaska. Its assay value is $19,-
75 per ounce. The largest nugget
weighed 29 ounces, another 15 ounces
and others 10, 12, and 5 ounces.
Mr. Pelky reports that the Innoko
and its various tributaries will produce
nearly 500,000 this season. Grub is
very scarce and famine prices prevail.
Flour is $35 per 100 pounds; bacon and
ham 75cts pound and everything else
in proportion. Wild game and timber
are plentiful. Miners generally outfit
for two years."
Evening Party.
Mr. and Mrs. E. Mead Floyd enter
tained a few friends at their home on
West Sixth street, last Thursday even
ing, in honor of their guest, Miss

in playing hearts. The first prizes

Mrs. Joseph Burnett, Mr. and Mrs.
