All This on ApriIl.

April, rather than March, came IN like
a lion and it looks as if the lion would
stay. A severe wind and snow storm
sprung up early last evening and con.
tinued all night and the greater part of
today. The wind blew at furious rate
all night long and several small buildings
and sheds were blown over. The cornice
work on the roof OF the Star clothing
house was blown off during the night
and lay strewn along the sidewalk this
morning. The streets of Red jacket and
Laurium were in a wretched condition
and although the street commissioners
had men at work at an early bour II
was late in the day when they became
passable. The snow was drifted and
heaped in great piles on the sidewalks on
one side OF Fifth street and the business
men bad to get out early in order IN
effect an entrance to their stores. The
Thermometer did not go down very low
but the high wind blew the binding
snow In every direction and made the
day disagreeable one.
A delivery team was blockaded at the
corner OF Fifth and Oak streets this
morning in large snow drift and had to
be virtually dug out. A farmer came in
from near the Fulton and told the re-
porter that the county road was in a
worse condition that ever before this
season and that the drifts were az high
as eight and nine feet in many places.
The trains on the Mineral Range had
considerable difficulty to make their req.
ular trips today, but were not very late.
Inc morning train went by the II. K C.
railroad and returned by the same route

kcts In the Field

A play OF realistic rural interest, en-.
titled, Joshua Simpkins, will be pro-
duced at the Red Jacket Opera House
on Tuesday and Wednesday, the 14th
and 18th respectively. The play has
plenty OF life and vigor in il and an
ample supply OF wholesome fun and
laughter. The story or plot OF the play
is OF the rural variety and is very similar
TO ''Uncle josh Spruceby." which has al
ways been such favorite with Calumet
people and which never fails to draw out
large audience.
Joshua Simpkins" was written with
view OF keeping an audience thorough
~ amused, and fully carries out the au-
thor's intention. The plot is not allowed
TO interfere with the comedy to any ap-
probable extent, thus producing play
that is not only interesting and thrilling,
but is said to contain as many laughs az
there are grains in n bushel OF wheat.
The speciality work introduced is also
said TO bs..entirely new and the fine or
clestra, which the company carries, rvn-
ders the leading musical numbers of
latest popularity during the evening.
Rev. I. c. Thomas. pastor of the NJ. f.

sell, but converses very fluently in English
and told the reporter many interesting
things concerning his entertainment and
the people who play it. The entertain
ment is in English and Indian and pro-
gram oil unusual interest will be rem
dered. The entertainment has been given
at LAnse aud Baraga and both the pa.
pers printed there highly recommend Il
as a cultivated and refined play.
The company is travelling under the |
auspices OF the young people OF the Ia. |
dian mission and whatever profit is made
Is Tor the benefit OF the Indians at the
mission. Music IN English and Indian
tongues will also be special feature of
the entertainment. Complete arrange
ments have not vet been perfected, but
the play will probably be presented ON
Thursday, April o.
The White Crock" opera COMPANY
will play 10 this city on Wednesday.
April 8. This playis a sort Of parody ON
the Black Crook company which ap-
peared here some time ago under the
manaG ment OF Sam t. Jack, of Chicago.
