OLE OLESON.

The Ole Oleson troupe gave al enter
tainment at the Opera House Tuesday
evening. On account of the scoring
which this company had received from
the press in several towns on the range
where they had appeared, many
expected to see troupe far below
mediocity and, judging from newspaper
comments, utterly unworthy of patron
age. But such was not the case. The
Opera House was filed by an audience
that were apparently as well pleased
as with any entertainment of this
character ever given in the hall A
large number of Swedes were present
who seemed particularly pleased with
many sayings given in the Swedish Ian
guage. Both play and company are
fully upon an average with any enter
tainments of similar character that
have been gwen here and far above
several that have been produced in
Marinette the past winter. What it
may have been in other cities is
another question. In Mannette it
partook not at all of the character
given it in several press notices in the
northern part Of the state.-Marinette
Eagle.

Bridge Work Progressing.

The center pier and west side abut-
ment is completed and the east
abutment is nearly so. At the time of
writing Tuesday afternoon the 10Th inst.
the ice is jamming in the river and the
west half of the center pier has settled
a little. This was probably caused by
the rapid current washing out the sand
at this point There are also several
large cracks in the front of pier caused
by the ice. The false work is nearly
ready for erection also the bridge
timber. The work is progressing Just
as rapidly as the ice and high water
will permit.
LATER.-Since writing the above the
ice jam has demolished the east abut-
ment which was not yet completed. No
telling what damage may be done to the
new bridge work.
