Monday evaning Charles A. Gardner will
appear at the Opera House as Karl" He
is a dialect comedian Of a very superior
order, and comes with many hattering
recommendations from the press of the
country. The st. Louis Republican says
of him: "Mr. Charles A. Gardner, German
dialect comedian, opened a season at the
Peoples Theatre last evening in his play
called Karl" and got q good, popular re-
eeption. Gardner is skillful in the use of
the Engish-German dialect, and gets at the
humor of it as q humorist and mimic com-
bined only could. There are other clever
people in the cast, and Karl is the all
week attraction at the Peoples"

Deer late at his Office several mornings in
accession, and failing to make a rifle
again the other morning, he felt that some
excuse was necessary 10 the head of the
concern. So on this particular morning he
walked in and with sort of an distracted
air. he remarked: Well, l had the fun

far as see, will it turn very much this season.
1t is tide that takes years to ebb and years to

shortage in Hartford county will be more than
made up in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and

marked change in either corn or tomatoes this

money of consequence. The surplus packers
must first be crushed out before any money can
be made.

they sustained. "Perseverantia omnia vincit,

coveries made by Pension Commissioner
Black justify the suspicion. In Philadelphia
he found that $4,000 year was being paid
out to false personators of dead persons or

were $50 names on the lists that ought not
to be there Accordingly they have been
