A Young man well known among the boys as Cotton is enjoying these fine evenings sleigh riding with his best girl. Now the boys like to see Cotton happy and hope the sweet sounding, silvery bells may continue to jingle throughout all time, or until his locks of hair shall become wlfite and silvery as snow. The coasting carnival on high school hill last night was a splendid success, and without accident, further than a few harmless upsets. The street was well lighted and well guarded, so that mis haps were hardly possible from colli sions with teams, and each lot was will on its way before the following one was permitted to start, and by the careful managemens by the committee all went well. "Our paper is two days later this week," writes a Nebraska editor, "owing to an accident to our press. When we started to run the edition Wednesday night : s usual, one of the guy-ropes gave way, allowing the forward gilder-fiuke to fall and break as it struck the Hunker -Hopper. This of course, ns anyone who knows anything about a press will readily un derstand, left the gang plank with only the flip-flap to support it, which als-o dropped and broke off the wopper-chock. This loosened the flunking from between the tamrod and the flipper-snatcher which also caused trouble. The report that the delay was caused by orcr-indulgencc in intoxicating stimulants by ourself is a tissue of falsehoods, the peeled appear ance of our right eye being caused by our goin into the hatchway of the pre, in our anxiety to start it. and pulling the coupling-pin after the sapbang was brok en, which caused the dingus to rise up and welt us in the optic. We expect a brand-new gilder-fluke on this after noon's train." Joined for Life's Journey.

The Conried Opera Company will pro duce Johann Strauss' latest and most successful opera, 4 The Gypsy Baron," at the Waterman Opera House Monday evening, January 10th, with the original company of sixty people, costumes, and a special car load of scenery. The Vien na Correspondent of the London Daily News writes about the "Gypsy Baron.' "The Libretto is from a novel of Jo- kay, and the music is by Johann Strauss. What wonder the box office is taken bv storm every morning, and that after nine o'clock not a ticket is to be had for love or money ? Strauss, carried away by the brightly original subject, has surpassed his former works. It is diffi cult to imagine a series of scenes more interesting, more varied and more pic turesque, accompanied by music which is at once tender, gay and original. Two Cents Per Mile. From the Ohio Stvte Journal. "Well," said a prominent railjoad official of this city last evening, when asked his opinion of the bill introduced in the Senate fixing the rate of passenger transportation on the roads in this state at 2c per mile, "I do not think that if the bill is passed it will materially affect the railroads, It would be natural to suppose that it would reduce the earnings at first, but the new conditions would readily ad just themselves. It would largely increase the amount of travel, A uniform rate of 2c per mile was fixed on New York roads by the legislature of that state and though there was considerable complaint from the railroad companies at- first, the plan is workincr satisfactorily now. I think the bill introdaced in the Ohio Leg islature comes in well at this time. I do not btlieye the railroads of the state will fight it or furnish any strenuous oppo sition to its passage. 1 lie people are clamoring for some legislation of this sort, and it will prove an incentive to business rather than a detriment.

The unfortunate man made a wild leap into the air. Be fore he had half way reached the ground he froze solid and stuck fast thirty feet from the bottom. When the tram reached the station a party was organized to go to his relief. A cowboy lariated the in animate form in mid air' and so hard was it frozen that it took the urited ef forts of four horses to imll it down to the ground." Yesterday between 3 and 4 o'clock a strange man was noticed by John Fitzpatnck standing in front of Bocck & Birdsali's shoe store on south main street. John thought there was some- thin? wroii2T. so he watched the fellow until he saw him jerk five pairs of over shoes from the peg where they are hung as samples, and run for a back alley. John took cross lots and overhauled the dead beat back of Frank Carruths store. John asked him to come with him but he said no, when John gave him a gentle tap which brought him to the ground, and also to the realization that John meant business. He was taken to the county jail where he will remain for trial until next Monday. Damask Rose the Great Skin Cure and Tilet article. Ufa. and sold by O. I'.
