The National Scenic Co. exhibition
at the opera house last Thursday ev-
ening was greeted by fair sized
crowd, although the show.was not up
to what it was advertised to be. It is
practically magic lantern entertain
ment, minus the. movable pictures ad-
vertised by the cimetograph, or some
other graph process. The views
shown were all nice, and the naval
and army pictures we're frequently APP
plauded by the audience.
The dirt blizzard that swept over
this section q month or so ago has
proven very expensive to w. r. Cas-
we'll, who has the ice business of this
city 80 we'll in hand. The blizzard &C.
CURED simultaneously with the freez-
ing, and as result, the ice is full of
the dirt. The discovery was made
during the middle portion of last
week. and since that time Mr.. Caswell
has had men at work saving and re-
moving the old ice, with the view of
having new freeze for his packing
stock.
Quite number of the business
firms of this city have donated calen-
OARS to their patrons. Among the
types given away is an exceedingly
warm one presented bv the Redwood

lists Dream" and from an artistic
standpoint, as we'll as perfect print
ing, it stands we'll to the fore. Cash
Ter Baldwin is more less or sensitive
over the work he has palmed off on
him, but he smiles and says nothing.
Last Wednesday night and Thurs
day morning the thermometer took q
tumble little below anything exper-
fenced by that piece of mechanism
since the opening of the present win
ter. In some sections Of the city the
tumble was down to the Is degrees
below zero mark, while in other por-
tions, it is stated that it did not tum-
BILE below the II point mark. A brac-
ing northwest wind helped things
along, too, and one facing the wind,
would conclude that it was about rs
degrees below..zero.
During the course of his lecture on
Tuesday evening of last week FIR.
Cleary pointed to the fact that the ag-
itation for liberty commenced during
the Dark Ages, and many Republics
we're formed and existed during the
period. One of the writer's of the
time then wrote book on the ideal
government, in which the government
was derived from the consent of the
governed-the principle on which the
American Republic was formed. He
also pointed to the fact that the Mag
ma Charta was forced from King John
in 1915, the very darkest period OF
the dark ages, by the barons and peo-
pie of that time, showing conclusively
that the human instinct for freedom,
for advancement, etc., was breathing
on.
