To the Public.

Some people want to run another's
business besides their own. Should I
hear of any more false reports concern
ing my business, the parties will GER
tainly be sorry of their attempting to
run another's business down by false
pretences. These parties whom 1t
would please SO well could they bring
about the downfall of my business, no
doubt will not feel SO elated when they
learn that instead of going 'under," /
am now in better shape.
Customers, ladies and gentlemen,
am here to stay; pay my honest debts,
give the people good goods at the low
est reasonable prices, and / fully be-
lieve that my business transactions
have been entirely satisfactory to all
concerned except my enemies, who
would rejoice over my downfall. In
the future, shall as in the past, make
every effort to please my customers
and ! feel certain my effort will be
appreciated.
Thanking you for your kind favors
the past year and hoping to be favored
with your future patronage this year,
| wish you all happy beginning of the
new year. Yours truly,
o. A. KINGsHILL

The latest success i'm farce comedy,
1.-The Nancy Hanks" will appear at
the Grand in the near future. The
management wants it understood that
the comedy has nothing whatever TO do
with race horses, but that it is the
name of a good thing" "The Nancy
Hanks" to quote the Chicago Record,
is about as lively a bit of stage literature
asis likely to be seen upon "A Chicago
stage this season. 1t PUSHES from one
absurdity to another in mad and
merry way, pausing only now and then
for song or bit of incidental comedy,
all of which is woven into the piece so
neatly that the action of the comedy
is not interrupted for a moment. 1.-THE
Nancy Hanks" is from the pen of
Frank Tannehill, Jr., bright and
breezy writer.

The New 8 Bells.

The Brothers Byrne, with clever
company of comedians, pantominists
and young women, present their roll
licking acrobatic comedy, Eight
Bells" at the Grand opera house, Jan.
8th.
The play is a musical farce-comedy
with spectacular pantomine. Mr..
John Byrne is master of the art plan
ming play that will be full of me-
chanical effects, the sudden use OF
which is amusing in the extreme.
The school yard scene in the first act
brings the leader on the stage, and
the many escapedes of the boys in
trucking their worth master are ludi-
crous, indeed. The human ladder is
very we'll contracted and its combina-
tons are most apt; perhaps the disso-
luton of the wonderful horse and car
riage in the first act is the most anus
ing of anything. The by-play of act
second is enlivened by members of the
company.
The boat scene, however, caps the
climax of this act, and the quick chan
ges from staterOOm to staterOom makes
lots of amusement. The revolving and
final collapse of the ship is an effect
never to be forgotten. The grand Ro-
man statuary in the last act is very
effective, and when they change to the
statuesque poses under the calcium
lights they make very pretty pictures.
The acrobatics feats, including some
new positions, are well performed.
Comic, indeed, is the duel between
father and perspective father, and the
perplexing question Of "Gussie, who do
/ belong to- might be asked by each
one of the audience, for such a delight
full tumble Of music, nonsense, magic
and pantomine is enough to turn a
most sober head.

"The Nancy Hanks"

The unexpected happens more in
theatrical business than in any other.
Such has been the case with "The
Nancy Hanks" the latest success in
in farce-comedy, which was booked
for one week at the Great Northern
Theatre, Chicago. Its success was so
pronounced that Manager Palmer at
once extended its engagement for two
more weeks, making three in all.
Nightly this beautiful theatre has been
crowded to the doors. -~-

greatly improved, the Bros. Byrne will
bring "8 Bells" to the Grand opera
house January Sth. This popular pro-
duction has been OH the road several
years and its success has been remark
able, and now in its bright new clothes,
it is destined to another long life
While many of its big features still re-
main, there are number of new ones
and the old eight Bells" are scarcely
recognizable. Among the principal
favorite old features is the revolving
ship scene, which is probably the most
popular and attractive in the produc-
ton. There is much that is new about
this, also, there are a number of new
specialties. The acrobatic work has
not been displaced, for there is an
abundance of il, and in a very attractive
and entertaining form. The acrobatic
troupe is complete in every particular
and their work much of which is en-
tirely new, is remarkable. The scenery
is entirely new, and exceedingly uni
que.

The Telephone Trouble.

They are having heap OF trouble
over the local telephone exchange. A
number of our business men think that
they are charged eXorbitant prices for
the use of phones, and some of them
started paper several days ago, the
substance of its heading being that they
deemed the present price of $50 per
year for single phones too large, and
that they believed SIS per annum for
single phones and SIS for two instru-
ments to be fair rental value. The
further consideration that unless the
company saw fit to accept these rates
they were respectfully notified to re-
move the instruments from their re-
spective places of business, was added.
This paper has been signed by about
40 firms, representing in the neighbor-
hood of 90 instruments. A meeting
was held at the DEBORAH Club rooms
last Tuesday afternoon, but we learn
that no definite understanding was ar
rived at, consequently we are some
what limited in the use of the exchange,
for these signers will not answer tele-
phone calls. We are informed that the
objecting renters refuse to use the
phones on the ground that the price is
much more than that paid by members
of exchanges in neighbOring cities, and
that the managers of thel system refuse
to lower the rent because they have no
other company to compete with, and
claim that they can maintain the pres
ent rate. There is some talk of either
inducing another company to put in a
local exchange or to organize a local
stock company for that purpose.
