Chinook" will be given at the court
house hall on Thursday evening, Oct.
18th, under the auspices of the Ladies
Social Union of the M. E. church, by
Miss Clara Louise Thompson of Min
neapolis, the clocutionist. This is I'M
! doubtedly one of the finest entertain
ments ever given in this city. The
following vivid description and syn
opsis Of the drama by the st. Paul
Globe will give you correct idea of
the play:
Miss Thompson reads the dialogue
assuming the the characters. Coin
cident with the reading the pictures
appear representing the characters in
the attitude suggested by the lines.
With the fading away of one exciting
incident another takes its place, and
for nearly two hours the interest is
continually kept up. The soft voices
of the lovers and the gruff voice of the
old business man gives Miss Thomp-
son an opportunity to display her
great dramatic ability as a reader.
The story of "The Chinook" is this:
Arthur Rutherford. a young Eastern
man, has gone to Denver, where he
has made acquaintance among the
mining men, and on account of his
good humor and jollity nickname him
The Chinook When the mine,
which figures in the plot, is discovered
it is named .'The Chinook" IN his hon
or. Rutherford is part owner of the
mine, and while in the cabin with his
partner has dream in which he sees
his father in financial straits and the
girl he loves in trouble, He goes
back East and finds his dream to be
true, his fathers business affairs at
crisis and his brother, on account of
of whose crooked deeds the younger
brother was compelled to go West, is
pursuing JennieVle the girl Of the
dream. NThe Chinook" offers the
mine as an aid to his father, but the
the brokers decide that it is INSULT
Gent and the elder brother is called.
He declines to advance the money
needed by father and advises him to
assign. 'sThe Chinook" at this point
receives telegram from the West
offering $4,000 for the mine. The
elder brother returns later and his
father upbraids him for his selfshness.
One word leads to another and vii
liany Of the elder brother some years
before is revealed. Jennievie who
has been caught in the conservatory
