DR.. Fry. who has had an Office in
the Bacon block for some time left
the first Of the week for his former

a partnership with physician, who

in this city made many friends and
had a nice practice worked up, con-
sidering the short time he was here
yet the offer of a partnership in a
good town, with an established
physician, was too tempting an offer
to let go, The TINES predicts for Mr..

shortly to have the opportunity of en-
joying a series Of entertainments of that
chracter, the popular German-Americ-
an Vaudevilles being to open a 10 night

safe in saying that nowhere outside Of
the best vaudeville houses of Kansas
City, st. Louis, Chicago and other large
cities, can such large company Of
top line vaudeville aatists be seen as
the one constituting the German
American Vaudivilles. The company
includes. Miss Marietta Seigfried,
