"A Colorado Waif," the play selected for Monday evening, "Ladies Night" opening of the Goodwin Stock Com pany, when they come for their week's engagement of repertoire at the Opera House is undoubtedly one of the strong est, most clean cut stories of western life ever presented: It is modeled on the lines of David Balasco's famous plays, "The Girl from the Golden West," and one while full of thrilling climaxes and stirring situation does not depend upon the gun play and pistol shots usually seen in a western drama. "A Colorado Waif," tells a clean whole some story in a logical manner, and deals with real live men and women of our present west.

A genuine American play, a comedy of human interest, set in four elaborately staged scenes, Interpreted by an excel lent company of clever people, which is a very seasonable attraction just at present, this being election year, there you have "The County Chairman," George Ade's great success, which will be offered at the Masonic Opera House Saturday night. This beautiful offering to the stage is so unconventional and strikes so near the heart of the great American people that it can safely be said that the pictures placed before the audience are not like stage scenes at all. You see "The County Chairman," and as each of the four acts progresses you say the people on the stage are not acting at all, they are just their every day natural selves and having fun out of it, too. Who has not seen these fellows hanging around the grocery store with a pump in front of it? The crabbed, cross, old fellow in black, Judge Rigby, the mean old skinflint, miserly to the extreme and his pretty daughter, Lucy, is as sweet as the roses she car ries on her arm. You have to laugh when the shirtless darky, Sassafras Livingston, sells the grocery storekeeper three dozen eggs some of them duck eggs— and the fel low doesn't keep ducks. He gets fifteen cents a dozen in trade and he asks the storekeeper for some tobacco, needles and thread, some lady fingers, a piece of salt pork, a box of blueingfand "the rest in peppermint candy " Have they girls in this place? Lots of them and they come and go wearing sunbonnets and little caps. The village belle, Lorena Watkins, is the milliner and she meets so many traveling gentle men that she can't remember their names. She is a natural-born flirt and is proud of it. A whistle is heard in the distance and everybody on the stage rushes in the direction of the sound. The d3pr«r traveling man from the city, who sea* wind mills, asks excitedly, "Whai s the matter, a fire!" •N9, just the 5:30 train," is the loat er's reply. - --If iTervou3 and Rup Down simply improve your Remove ths waste matter that clogs the blood by tikaiK Ramon's Pills-then tone the nervou? sWem ipit.ii the Tonic Pellets.
