tally interesting reading to the many

The trustees of the Turner society
have secured the famous Starr family,
known all over the world as the most
expert performers of esoteric mystic
ries, for four nights engagement.
The people of Watertown have never
seen anything of this kind and the
Turner's should have crowded houses.
The STAIRS do not make any claim
whatever to have supernatural powers,
although to the audience it appears
that such wonderful performances
could not be done by mortals. The
papers wherever the STAIRS have APP
peared pronounce it a most delightful
entertainment and wonderful beyond
description. The price of admission
being only 10 and 20 cents all can go.
The engagement begins tonight at
Turner Opera house.
Two Of our prominent young Ia
dies went to Milwaukee one day last
week to ''see the sights" Meeting
gentleman friend they were invited
to take drink (of soda water), but
while the drinks were being mixed the
friend was called aside. During his
absence the girls drank, and after
waiting in vain for the return of their
escort to settle, the girls finally paid
the costs and departed for unknown
parts of the city. OF course. the
young man was completely chagrined
upon ascertaining the condition of af-
fairs and at once set out to find the
girls, but his hunt was in vain. 1t is
said. however, that the slight misun-
Outstanding was amicably adjusted by
the young man appearing at the rail
way station, just as his erstwhile
friends were about to depart for home,
and presenting them with a capacious
box of delicious candies.
