Four Head of Cattle Killed Under One
Tree.
During the heavy rain and
electric storm of last Thursday
night a deadly bolt of lightning
played sad havoc with Mr.
George Harbour's live stock.
Four head of cattle, two milk
cows and two yearlings,that were
sleeping beneath the protecting
foliage of a giant oak, were
killed instantly by the deadly
bolt. A squirrel that tenanted
the tree also met an untimely
death by the terrible and myste-
rious fluid. Strange to say the
tree did not show the least indi-
cation of having been struck.
Mr. Harbor is a resident of the
Union Grove neighborhood.
The Veriscope.
The wonderful veriscope re-
production of the celebrated Cor-
be!t-Fitzsimmons prize fight at
Carson City, on the 17th of last
March will be seen at the Grand
Opera house tomorrow night.
So perfect is the reproduction
of the great fight, that the spec-
tators forget that they are wit-
nessing the work of the most
wonderful mechanical invention
of the ago, and the only Fitzsim-
mons and Corbett, and as either
lands a good blow or gaines a
vantage point, he is usually
cheered by his admirers as heart-
ly as were the real flesh and
blood on the stage in active com-
bat.
From the first to the last round
there is not a movement made
by eithor the principals, attend-
ees or spectators that is not
faithfully recorded. The blood
on Fitzsimmons face is discerna-
ble as is his expressions when he
is brought to his knees by Cor-
bett, counts his nine seconds and
getting up goes after the pompa-
dour in such a whirlwind way as
to surprise that wily fighter.
Corbett's agility is presented in
a manner to show that even the
best writer have not been able to
desoribe it.

The Last
If the claims whicH*have been
made in behalf of Mr. Creston
Clarke's and Miss Adelaide
Prince's status in the dramatic
world required any vindication
prior to their appearance at the
opera house last afternoon and
evening they certainly require
none now. If these brightparticu
lar stars in the dramatic firma
ment had no other artistic tri-
umphs to rely upon these per-
formances would alone have
proven sufficient to inspire im-
mediate recognition of their
worth. While in the morn and
liquid dew of youth so to speak
Mr. Clarke and Miss Prince have
succeeded to a remarkable de
gree in securing the applause
and appreciation due their artis-
tic interpretations. Mr. Clarke
is a nephew of the late Edwin
Booth under whose tutorage be
received his early histrionic
training and laid the foundation
for his present success and fu-
ture greatness.
The great public has already
declared the genuineness of Mr.
Clarke's genius and the time is
close at hand when the ultra
critical portion of his drama lov-
ing constituency will vouchsafe
the favor of a late approval and
hang upon Mr. Clarke just as it
has hung upon all his great pre-
decessors. This class of ad-
mirers is always attracted more
by the magr.oticpower of a great
name than by a just appreciation
of merit. That Mr. Clarke has
present merit none will deny, and
that he will have future great-
ness more pronounced if possible,
than that achieved by any mem-
ber of the old school, few will
gainsay.
In respect to the personality of
Miss Prince there is nothing but
praise to bestow. A most charm-
ing stage presence is borne with
rare grace and modesty. A voice
of singular sweetness, but un-
mistakable power; faultless in-
flection, enunciation; a harmony
of physical poise truly princely,
and a wealth of beauty in face
and figure produce in her the
composition called genius. She
is the ideal of the part in which
she achieves admirable and ar-
tistic success.
The supporting company is
excellent, every member giving
most intelligent interpretations
to the various assignments, each
individual being more than equal
to the lesser requirements of the
romantic drama. The stage set-
tings are attractive and the cos-
tuming correct according to the
period of. the play and the loca-
tion of its scenes. The period of
the drama embodied in "The
Last of His Race" is the year
of 1770 and the first act takes
place at the Russian chateau of
the old Prince Okolski. Through
a desultory conversation be-
tween two of the prince's retain-
ers we learn that the old man is
dying supposedly "The Last of
His Race," as his son and heir
was drowned, presumably many
years before. The son, however,
has been spirited away to avenge
the wrong done one of the
prince's serfs, and is at this time
living in France. Prince Okol-
ski overhears the news that his
son still lives, but dies before he
can disclose the fact to his
friends. The second act shows
us the son, Louis Cardel, court-
ing Marie de Neuville, whose
aunt wishes her to marry Nicola
Karacheff, a captain in the Rus-
sian army, and next to kin of
Prince Okolski. The news is
spread that Louis is no better
than a serf and in a spirited
scene he is forced to leave his
lady love. In the third act he
seta out to discover the secret of
his birth and commences by fight
ing a duel with the captain, and
in the last act we find him in his
ancestral halls and the schemers
meet their just deserts.

peaceful lakes and meager soil
convert the average American
statesman to a higher standard

Deliver us from the man that
has a grievance, and especially
from tho man who has two or
three, or an indefinite number of
them, says tho Nashville Chris-
tian Advocate. The likelihood is
that there is something in his
own character and conduct that
will sufficiently explain his failure
to win the appreciation of his
fellowmen. On the whole, the
world does not intend to be un-
just in its dealings, and the
church sincerely desires to do
the right thing. Let the chronic
sorehead reflect whether he is
not himself to blame for the
slights and affronts that he sup-
poses to have been intentionally
put upon him.
