THE Stetson Dramatic Troupe which
presented the drama of Neck and Neck
on Friday evening and which repeated
the entertainment by request on Saturday
evening, are unquestionably the best
company that appeared before Manito-
VOC audience for some time. 1t is much
to be regretted that play of such merit
and actors SO superior in dramatic pres
entation were not more literally patron
lied. The plot is quite interesting and
the leading parts, taken by Mr.. Stetson,
were rendered with consummate art. He
was much better Unsupported than travelling
theatrical troupes ordinarily are, but the
chief merits OF the performance are due
solely to his dramatic talents, which are
OF the first order.
Mr.. Stetson's success results from
full appreciation OF the character he Is
representing, which counselS HIM to
avoid all that extravaganza which seems
to be an attribute of the stage and which
often detracts much from what is other
wise meritorious. He is a good elocutlon-
list, has his voice under perfect control
and can make it distinctly heard when
reduced to its lowest volume. His ges-
lures are always appropriate, his man
ner free from constraint and well cal
culated to please a cultured audience.
He is eminently entitled to, what is per-
laps the highest need Of good acting,
the merit of being natural.
His voice has wonderful capabiiity
of meditation, which with his initiative
powers enables him to fully express any
feeling by which the mind is agitated.
The person who played ''Dutchman'
had all the touches OF mimicry and all
the tricks of voice which are essential to
the success Of humorous comedy. His
drollery was so natural and his humor
SO Teutonic that it was not difficult to
fancy that he was in reality what he APP
peared to personate.
Mr.. Meldon was prominent actor
and for quite a young man performed
his difficult part creditably.
Miss Fletcher's acting is by no means
devoid of merit, although much inferior
to that of Mr. Stetson. As pretty, saucy
servant girl she appeared to much
better advantage than as the daughter OF
the rich banker. Many We're Of the OPP
inion that her intimate knowledge of the
art Of flirting, as shown on the stage, was
indicative of considerable practice IN real
life

The business men Of Manitowoc are
apt tc speak with some asperity of those
who go outside the city to purchase ar
ticles which can be obtained in the bus
mess houses of this city. This course
operates against the city i'll two partlcu-
ars-depriving it of trade 70 which IN the
ordinary course Of events, it IS entitled,
and practically saying that its business
establishments are inferior and unable
to supply the local wants Of those whom
locality shonld make their customers.
But men engaged i'll mercantile pursuits
and manufacturing, should bear III mind
that their seltishnGss is not the measure
of duty IN the premises. To the people
of the city their individual success Is OF
no moment except when 1t contributes
to the general prosperity of the place.
Their obligations to other local indus
tries are just as binding as those which
the Prosperity Of the place makes due

from circumstance which TRANSFERRED

we DO not mention these matters
through petulancy, nor do we wish to

when a rival advertising agency from
abroad comes into competition with a

the common interests of the city, it does
seem little inconsistent with professions

abroad, albeit it does not offer means

THERE is disposition among the
farmers Of the county to hold their wheat
until the price advances. They are of
the opinion that the scarcity of wheat
this year will run the price up consider
ably. The unfayorable reports coming
from the wheat growing states, confirm
them in this belief. 4 wheat producer
on large scale in Minnesota, was lately
offered 90 cents per bushel for 100000
bushels of wheat, to be delivered on his
farm. He refused the offer, being salts
fed that it would soon command high
err price. The aggregate wheat crop OF
Minnesota is estimated at $4,000, 00C
bushels. The yield is placed a. about
IL bushels to the acre. In this county,
farmers in some instances place it as low
as 5 bushels per acre,-seldom above
10. 1t will probably average 8.
