Views as TO how TO win. The negligence Of the Ma
tona and State committees for years has annoyed
greatly from the fact there seemed to be q want
of knowledge on their part Of how TO reach and cdu
cate tho people. For instance no public or campaign
documents were circulated In this vicinity until tho
day before the election. The Democrats and their
helpers were active for weeks The result was
general apathy among the Republicans and defeat.

Fun for the Million,

The Redmond opera house was crowded
last evening by an audience as Jolly as
were the Jolly Pathfinders themselves. 1t
was nonsensical 1t was funny almost to
excess. Arnold Grub was after grub In
the most laughable manner. Henry Meek
was awful meek. Teddy was funny as
the funniest stage Irishman. All the
characters were In harmony with the idea
OF mirth for the million.
The play has CHEEKY plot which Is car
ried forward at lively pace. A charm

The above is the name OF drama rem
dered at the Opera House last Wednes-
day night by the Hettle Bernard Chase
company, and was witnessed by a large
audience. After the drama was half over,
the management announced, what was
already apparent to many Of those pres
ent, that their leading actress, Hottie
Bernard Chase, was not with them, she
having taken seriously Ill at Petoskey,
and In order to fill their engagements the
company had TO substitute some one else
in her place. lie said the company had
acted In two places already without their
star and they had said nothing about II.
In Alpena where Miss Chase was known,
II was necessary to make an explanation.
The actor also stated in justice to Messrs.
Maltz and Comfort, that il any ono was
dissatisfied they could go to the box Of
flee and their money would DO cheerfully
refunded. The audience took the an
nouncement in good humor.
The representation of the drama was
fair and contained several dramatic and
laughable situations. The acting and
singing Of Frank Calburt, as Uncle Bill
ly," was rich piece Of comedy. He was
the life of the drama and caused many q
hearty laugh with his comicalities. The
cast called for ten characters but there
were only seven persons to represent
them. One Of the stage scenes was very
pretty. 1t represented the ocean. In
the distance was light house with the
light shining. The moon arose and sail
ed up the sky, being occasionally hidden
by clouds. It was a realistic scene. It
Is probable that II the whole company
had been present the drama would have
been very interesting one.
