There is an article in another column
which is worth reading. 1t is an opin-
ion of August Hyllestid, the great Dan
lsh pianist.
Chester Allen and Arthur Jebb went
out on a hunting trip Friday. They

The close season for jurymen has
expired. Parties who have been into
the county in search of this interesting
quarry, report them unusually shy. and
strong on the wing.
Roy Rogers, formerly of this city, has
accepted position in a wholesale gro
Gerry store in Mason City, Iowa, and
will spend the coming year at work
rather than at Beloit college, where he

The band concert at Central park
Friday evening bore the usual signs OF
Improvement and progress. The nip
ping wind Friday evening reminded us
that the season for open air concerts Is
nearly passed. A great coat was very
comfortable and those who were with
out that safeguard against the cutting
breezes found their pleasure in the af-
fair considerably curtailed. The crowd
was not as large as it frequently has
| been because of the cold
A full house greeted the Isl PUNK
ard" company at the Rhode opera
house Friday night. The play is one
of those rollicking farmer" kind,
which keep people laughing, and it
made the audience laugh unendingly
Friday night. We do not understand,
however, why j. C. Lewis should be
considered the star of the troupe. In
the opinion of Kenoshans Thomas
Beatty, who took the part of the
{" Dutchman," and Will 81. Snyder,
who took the part of the tramp, the
Jew, Petey the fireman, etc., double
discount Lewis as actors.
The latest swindler to put in an ap-
pearance in the rural districts is the
piano man. He works as follows: The
agent goes to the farm house and asks
permission to leave his piano there.
He even goes SO far as to pay rent
while it is stored with the farmer. The
farmer is permitted to use the instru
ment, and the only thing the agent
requires of the farmer is that he speak
good word for the instrument to his
neighbors. Of course all this is easily
agreed to. Then the agent takes a
receipt for the piano, and that is what
does the mischief, as it afterwards
turns out to be a note for $500. AS
the piano is worth about $3.50 the
buyer is out $3.50
All doctors agree that the true pep
sin of longevity is laughter, and Ferris
Comedians are wholesale manufacture
ers of that article. They have de-
parted from the we'll beaten path fol-
lowed by other popular price organiza-
tions. They think, and wisely too,
that the public have sufficient cares in
business and at home to assume those
of some stage creation for two hours
and half; they want to forget them,
and be amused, and the performances
of Ferris Comedians are for that pur-
pose. They present repertoire OF
musical farce comedies, and in no bill
is there less than II or Is clever spec
ialties by artists of the highest stand
ard. In their opening bill is 46 must
