The applicants for seats for the per-

next Monday and Tuesday at the Provi-

afternoon and evening the sidewalk in
front of the Office was fairly we'll
crowded with patient walters, deputed
by spectators and others, and this noon
about two hundred people were lined
up in front OF the theater each

that perhaps this will be the last oppor-

even small pieces can be utilized to excel

wider by setting In cores at the seams.
For example, skirt of ordinary shape
made of suiting in stripes of dull red, dark
blue and olive has A shaped pieces about
three fourths OF the length of the skirt set
In at each seam. These pieces are of blue,
matching that in the stripe. These cores

NERVOUS OVER The CROP.

Grain is Thrown to the Dust Because
of Lack of Rain.
MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, March 29.-Min-
neapolis grain and elevator men are be-
coming somewhat nervous over the crop
situation in the Northwest. Sowing is in
full blast in Minnesota and the Dakotas,
but the grain is literally thrown to the
dust.
Such dry condition OF the soil has
never before been known this time of the
year in this region. 1t is the general
opinion that unless copious rains fall
soon there will be great shortage of
grain crop in these States.
