The Deaver Press on "Jalka."
"Falka" is an ideal comic opera
The construction of the libretto, the
broad originality of the plot, the
fund of delicate.- humor, make the
book a notable one and the lyrics of
the dainty theme make the opera
one of the best comic operas of the
time. It is several years since the
opera was professionally given in
Denver. Last evening a large and
fashionable audience applauded the
Dunbar Opera Co. from the opening
chorus to the pleasing finale of the
last act. The opera savored not at
at all of a first night. The audi
ence demanded everythingf over
asrain.
Miss Beatrice Goldie, in the title
role, as usual made a hit. Her
solos and concerted numbers were
beautifully rendered, and she
showed herself a prima donna of no
mean ability. Winfield Blake, the
basso of the comoanv was -revela-
tion as Bolestas, the brigand chiet.
Miss Anna Cameron made a dainty
and orettv ervosv irirl, and saner
with a srreat deal of feeling-. Miss
Helen McLellan, as the Lady Alex
ina, has a magnificent stage pres
ence, and was a great favorite with
the audience. Al Leech, the come
dian of the company, assumed the
role of Folbach. His conception of
the tart was drole and unctous.
A.
The company in its entirety is un
doubtedly one of the best on the
road to-day. It abounds with
pretty and shapely females. The
orchestra and chorus under the
direction of Milton C. Smith render
the ensembles and finales very
effective.
Robert Dunbar has contributed
largely to the opera loving people
of Denver this summer through the
medium of his magnificent opera
company. During the warm sum
mer evenings it lias been a pleasure
to listen to the tuneful strains of
the popular .comic operas. The
company is a thoroughly competent
d large audiences are proof
of its popularity.
Cody at Cleveland.
Last Tuesday's Cleveland Leader
says.: "$uitalo .Bill's Wild "VYest
aggregation and congress of rough
riders lias come and gone, and
45,000 delighted Clevelanders went
lome happy yesterday thrilled with
an experience not olten met and
with a reuewed reverence for Amer
ican patriotism, skill and bravery.
The enormous seating capacity of
the amphitheater-like enclosure was
not sufficient to accommodate the
throngs clamoring for admission.
Thousands of people were turned
away by the management. As soon
as the seating capacity was sold
for each performance it was publicly
announced by the men at the ticket
office. Yet the people were not
satisfied with the repeated answers
to inquiries for tickets, and many
refused.

NEBRASKA NOTES.
The Columbus Journal arises to
prophesy an early "winter and heavy
falls of deep, cold snow.
It took 600,000 shingles to repair
the roofs of houses in Schuyler that
were damaged by hail.
Thirtv-nine years as:o the 26th
day of August surveyors began
' 'staking" out" a town row known
as the city of Fremont.
The pastor of the Presbyterian
church at Kearney declines to take
a -vacation while "the harvest is
waiting and laborers are few."
D. B. Howard, of Dodge county
made a "nying leap to get into a
buggy and landed short, with1.
broken collar bone to the credit of
his unreasonable haste.
Frank Grass of Indianola crossed
the track between two freight cars
While standing on the bumpers the
train moved and his left foot was
severely damaged.
Friends of the. administration
came to the rescue of the editor of
the Seward Democrat and saved the
paper from falling into the large
unwashed hands of the free silver
ites.
Peter Smith, who -has irrigated
his farm on Shell creek, expects to
srather 100 bushels ot corn to the
acre. Before plowing" the land in
the spring" he turned on the water
and has flooded the land but once
since.
Columbus has quite a society of
Latter Day Saints, who started for
Salt Lake nearly forty years ago,
but stopped short of the promised
land because of an inherent pre
judice against too large a collection
of wives.
J. C. Robinson, who is one of
Waterloo's seed growers, has 2,500
acres devoted to the purpose, sublet
to 210 persons. During the season
the cultivation of this immense
patch" requires the services of
from 400 to 500 hands.
If the corn of this country, says
the Weeping Water Republican,
doesn't stop growing pretty soon,
and go into the business of ripen
ing, some frost, out on an early
lark, will nip it. The corn goes
right on as if it had both the growth
ot this year and last year to make
up.
A band of about seven thousand
horses was bought on a ranch in
Umatilla county, Washington, last
week by the Portland Horse-Meat
Canning Company at S3 a head.
This was the price on the range.
The horses will be taken to Port
land as required. Three hundred
were sent on as soon as the sale
was concluded. The agent of the
company, who is traveling through
the range country, says that the
hide, mane, and tail alone of each
horse will bring $2.50, leaving the
entire carcass almost a clear profit.
There is a singular reticence about
the actual purposes for which the
carcasses . are to be used, and
various people claiming to be con
nected with the concern talk
variously about fertilizers, grease,
canned steaks, and many other pro
ducts.
