AS it has been reported that the
flax contracts which l hold on certain
flax crops in this county are invalid,
and that have heretofore attempted
to enforce the same contracts and
failed. / hereby offer reward of S25

ever attempted and failed to enforce
the provisions of the same, on account
of same not being legal. Further, l
will pay to any one $40 in cash for any
proof of any of said contracted flax
being sold to any other parties than
myself or my agents. This season.
until further notice, l shall pay the
same price for flax contracted that l
am paying for flax not contracted.

thousand acres Of land, mostly cover

says that the lands shall be subject
to homestead entry only, at the land
office at Ashland, Eau Claire and

are now on the land. Some Of them
have been there for year or more.
Their prior residence, however, gives
them no right to the land. Who

Miss Vernona Jarbeau IL her play
"Starlight," is one Of the unique fig
ures on the An erican stage. A great
many claim that she is the successor
to Lillian Russell. because she sings
well, and has an engaging stage pres
ence. All these Miss Jarbeau has,
but she possesses something beyond
that, and it is her talent as a COM
edienne. 1t is one thing to sing we'll
and look pretty, but it is quite another
to fill the requirements of character
satisfactorily. starlight" is not a
very heavy MAY. 1T is fashioned on
the lines of the lighter phases of the
modern drama-or rather vaudeville
as it should properly be called. 1t is
bright, catchy and pleasing COM
position, which, without great pre-
tense, is yet so full of fun that IL
will chain the attention OF the au-
dience from the rising of the curtain to
the close. Mis- jar beau is a charm
ing figure in this piece. Her singing
is deli Ehtfnl. her presence graceful,
while her acting has that abandon
that makes one forget that he is wit
Messing a stage representation. Miss
Jarbeau is, of course, an old favOrite
in this city. Her performance In comic
opera are well remembered. 1t is a
treat to see such fresh and unaf-
fected woman on the stage-one who
has gained experience enouth to be
graceful and not lose her personality.

an accomplished actress, and
trained singer.
