ter kegs per day and they sell for 81 40
piece. There is no doubt in our mind
that as soon as the company's timber
is cleared up in that immediate vicinity
they will receive inducements to move
the plant to the twin cities. Most of
the stockholders feel friendly toward
the twins and will move The plant if
proper inducements are offered.

SOUR IRISH VISITORS

No Irish comedy in recent years has
excited more genuine and genial enthu-
siasm than Thomas E. Murray's "Our
Irish Visitors" Mr.. Murray has
presented it in almost every important
city between the Atlantic and Pacific.
AS farce-comedy it is incontestably
superior to any yet produced. In
Thomas E. Murray the critical explorer
will probably find the best example of
an indigenous comedian yet brought to
the surface. Essentially Irish in his
quaint mannerisms, and decidedly
original at that, he is comparable to
none other of his professional kinsmen
known to our public. His comedy is
natural, rational, homely in it's simplic-
ity and void of trickery, and in his
comedy "Our Irish Visitors' is this
most marked Mr. Murray's support
ing company is composed of Metropol-
itan favorites. They will appear at the
Opera House in this city Tuesday Jan
18th. Admission %, 80 and IS cents
