JAMES j. CORBETT.


The attraction at the Opera house Tues
day evening will be the appearance of
James j. Corbett in the comedy drama,
Gentleman Jack" Mr. Corbett recently
visited Europe and presented this play in
England, Ireland, Scotland, and France,
and was cordially received wherever he ap-
peared. The drama "Gentleman Jack" is
said to be written from incidents in
the champions career and gives
him ample opportunity to display
his abilities, both as an actor and
an athlete. This play is in five acts and
carries the spectator from the campus at
Payne college to the arena of the Olympic
club at New Orleans. Mr.. VIM. Delaney,
who has trained and seconded Mr.. Corbett
for every contest he has been engaged in,
will appear with the champion in the last
two acts. Incidental specialities are in
troduced by the character Coincidence,
Miss Jessie Villars, Mr.. Frank Belcher,
California's favorite baritone, and the
musical comedians, Swift and Chase.

2.37 Glass. Trot and Pace.

Little Actor drew the pole, but was una
bic to hold it through the heat. Frequent
scoring grew tedious, but when they started
the pole horse was little behind. Actor
was running when they passed around the
turn. Startling took the lead on the back
stretch, and it was hot for a while between
she and Little Actor. Cedric broke badly
coming down the stretch. When the half
was reached they held positions US follows
Startling, Little Actor, Ludlow, Fannie
Wellington, Actor and Cedric. Little
Actor passed Startling on the back stretch
and when doing so startling broke, and Luc-
low being close to Little Actor, also passed
Startling. Ludlow then made good tight
for first position, and they came under the
wire, Little Actor, Ludlow, Fannie Yelling
ton, Startling, Actor, Cedric. Time, 2.2s ii.
Little Actor came in ahead again. Star
ling led part of the distance, but Little
Actor evidently had more speed.
On the first half they stood as follows
Startling, Little Actor, Fannie Wellington
Cedric, Actor, Ludlow. On the last nall
they were spread out considerably till the
stretch was reached, when they punched
and Ludlow began to leave the rear. The
heat was finished, Little Actor, Fannie

A Queer Epitaph.

Richard Thomas was an Englishman

Sir Andrew Agnew of Lucknow, well

Finally, however, he dropped off, and Sir
Andrew was asked how he got rid of him.
'Oh," said he, Il gave him broad

tSHORE ACRES,

Mr.. James A. Herne will present his lat
est and greatest play, ashore Acres at
the Augusta Opera house on Wednesday
evening, Sept. 2G. The scenes of this re-
markable play, which had an entire seasons
run in Boston and has just lately closed a
seasons run in New York, are laid near
Bar Harbor, Maine, and its characters are
drawn in so mastery a manner that they
cannot fail to prove interesting and enter
tanning to all who witness the play. ashore
Acres" however, does not depend upon its
story or its dramatic situations for its sue
cess, but upon the nobility of its principal
characters. These parts as well as all the
others in the play Mr.. Herne has drawn so
truthfully that all are interested and
charmed by the simple heroism of their
daily life. New scenery and some clever
mechanical effects will be employed in this
production of the play. The sale of seats

Condition of Trade.

Extensive storms checked improve
ment in business only for a time, and
numerous strikes have not yet arrested
it. Distribution of products to con-
sumers seems larger, for more people
are earning and therefore more are able
to buy. But it is less clear that the
increase of working force continues, or
that orders for products will further
expand. The Improvement thus far
realized is based on actual increase in
orders for consumption, but part of this
was to cover belated demands for the
spring season. A considerable portion
of the industrial force is still unem-
ployed, and with wages much lower
than year ago consumption is not as
large. Payments through all clearing
houses for the week are 272 per cent
less than last year, 29.6 at New York
and 22.9 elsewhere. New orders fol
future distribution are still materially
restricted by uncertainty about action
at Washington, and about the extent
and outcome of labor difficulties.
The strike of coke workers, though
virtually oyer, still affects output and
deliveries. Strikes in building trades al
many cities restrict employment Of
labor and demand for materials, and
during the past week there have beer
numerous strikes in textile and other
manufacturing works, most of then
because restoration of wages to rates
formerly paid is not yet conceded
Most of the recovery realized il
| business has been made possible by
consent of workers to accept lowel
wages for time, and if they insist OF
restoration of wages before consumption
has restored prices, many works must
stop. The great strike threatened BY
bituminous coal miners, and strikes O.
associated employees on some railroads
makes the future less hopeful.

Anonymous Letter Writers.

At intervals during the past few years
a number of the most prominent and
influential men and women in the Twin
| Cities have been the recipients of
anonymous letters. The character of
these letters, as a rule, have been
identical and evidently emanating from
the same source. There was in each
instance an attempt to prejudice those
addressed against their friends and
neighbors in SANDER, filth and obscenity.
There is this much to be said about
anonymous letters, and that is that they
emanate always from a coward and a
knave. They are the product of low
sneaking nature, and, therefore, deserve
only the treatment which anything
emanating from such source is quail
fed to receive.
Another statement which will hold
equal truth with that just made is that
it may be deemed, in one way at least,
a recognition of the fact that the indivi-
dual to whom an anonymous letter is
addressed, in the first place is not a
coward; in the second place is honest,
and finally that he or she is deemed of
sufficient influence to have received
such letter.
Tt may be said in conclusion that a
cause, such as is the case in regard to
the anonymous letters here spoken Of
which uses such means with the en-
deavor to promote its welfare thereby
sets upon that cause the seal of dis
approval Of every reputable citizen,
whether that cause may or may not
have any inherent qualities Of worth
whatsoever. This is addressed to whom
1t may concern with the further
intimation that the REPORTERS readers
may expect to learn something more
definite in the future in regard to these
letters and their not, possibly, unknown
writer's. This is the day of electric
light and there is little that is hid
whether in the material world or other
wise and it is a result that works for
publication in the sanitary world and
moral affairs as well.

GREAT WATER POWER.
A Good Move in the Right Direction

During the past year the question OF
uniting the water powers at this point
in the Wisconsin river has been agitated
until now there is a fair outlook for
accomplishing this end. We sincerely
hope that the parties interested may
see that such move will not only
prove beneficial to the individual
owners, but of great benefit to the
whole community. The talk is to
combine the different water-powers into
one large company, erect a dam with a
p foot head and back the water to what
is known as Big Island. Since Mr.. B.
G. Chandos returned from California
the subject has been considered with
renewed interest and all the parties
have consented to unite excepting the
Pioneer Wood Pulp Co., and they will
be ready as soon as their difference
with the Bensley estate can be adjusted.
A irst-class dam erected across the
river from the Bensley mill site in
Centralia to the Pioneer mill in this
city, with head of % feet of water.
would run all the machinery necessary
to employ laborers enough to make
large cities of the Twins. Continue the
interest and let no effort be lost in
the bringing about Of this result. The
good of the community and the best
interests Of the individuals require that
this change should take place.

Henry Weisllan Dead.

The following notice of the death of a
former resident of the Twin Cities is
taken from the Lennox Is. d. Inde-
pendent:
The grim reaper death has again been
in our midst, this time claiming Henry
J. Weishan, one of the earliest settlers
of this county. Mr.. Weishan was a
victim of that fell destroyer, consump-
ton, with which he had been suffering
for number of years, always bearing
his affliction very bravely The last
chord of life which bound him to this
earth snapped in twain at eight o'clock
Saturday morning and his soul returned
to his maker. The funeral was held
Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock. Rev
Harmeling, of Marion, and Revs. Shooe
and Tjaden, of this place conducting
the ceremonies. He was for a number
of years, prior to the failing of his
health, a member of the Lennox band,
and that organization attended the
funeral en- masse, escorting the process
sion all the way to the cemetery with
music. He leaves a wife and two
children. He was about II years old,
and during the passing time he acquired
considerable property which Will be
sufficient to maintain those whom he
leaves behind \ large concourse of
sympathizing friends were in attendance
at the funeral.

BASE BALL.

A meeting Of those interested in the
national game above mentioned was
held at the tailor shop of Mr.. Miles
GrignOn Saturday evening last and an
organization perfected by the election
of Mr.. Geo. DeLap as captain for this
season. The outlook for a strong Twin
City Team this year is very good. The
boys have been doing considerable
practicing and several new men have
been developed who show unusual
dexterity with the ball. They also
expect to have new tWirler this year
who can put a motion on it like a
cannon ball. He is now training for
control. 1t is understood that series
of horse and bicycle race meets will be
held here this summer and it is intended
to make base ball one Of the principal
drawing features of the meets if possible.
The first game will probably be PLAYED
on Decoration Day with the Neillsville
Club, one Of the best amateur teams in
the state. It will be the aim of the
management to get nothing but good
ball teams to cross bats with them and
1t is hoped that they will receive more
liberal patronage and support at their
games than they did last year. This is
essential to good games here this
summer because it takes money to get
good teams here. Captain DeLap has
not yet selected his players but has
most of them in view. Let this be a
summer of more than ordinary base
ball enthusiasm and lots of exciting
games will be seen here
