A Great Attraction.

The Red Cross nurse, in her desire to
ease the pain and quell the agony of the
wounded sufferers, did no small dam
age to- faithful hearts, during the late
war. In "a Daughter of Cuba" which
comes to the Grand opera house, Halle
ton, tomorrow evening, Miss Jean
Mawson, in her petite, graceful way
portrays the loving, gentle, sympathetic
nurse. The play deals with the love of
two people who have met on the field
of battle, wherein q tent has hastily
been erected. The nurse tremblingly
prepares for the treatment OF the first of
the wounded. She has followed her lover
to fever-ridden country after the
usual lovers quarrel and with hopes of
reconciliation adopts the custom of
the Red Cross. Among the first, who In
that awful battle of Sibony, were
wounded nigh unto death, is Jack
Price, her lover, who had joined the New
York Seventy-first.
The performance will begin promptly
at s o'clock, so as to enable the people
attending to ride to their homes.

Mrs. Bridget Reidy, the Oldest woman
in Luzerpe county and possibly in the
state, died on Sunday afternoon at the
home of her son, Thomas Reidy, in Wy
oming. She was los years old. Mrs.
Reidy was born in Ireland in 1870, and
lived there until about forty years ago,
when she came to this country and went
to Grand Rapids, Mich. She moved to
Wyoming three years ago, her son Thos.
being the only survivor of ten children.
He was the youngest and is now over so.
Mrs. Reidy retained her faculties to
the end. She never wore spectacles,
could thread needle, read rapidly and
her hair never turned gray. She had an
excellent memory, and would talk freely
of many incidents of her long life.
Mrs. Redy was born under the reign
of George III, and lived through the
reign Of George ", William ~ and
through most of Queen Victoria's reign
and could easily recall Incidents in con-
nection with the battle of Waterloo.
She was nine years old when Washing
ton died

A Hearty Laugh VIII Do You Good.

If you want a good hearty laugh go
see the famous Bros. Roger in their
roaring, rolicking spectacular produc-
tion Next Door" There is very little
plot in the piece, it is simply conglom-
GRAFTON of farce comedy, singing, aero
batic feats, chases through trick houses
and walls, and everything else in the
theatrical line. 1t is excellently put on
and played with great vim and realism.
The Bros. Roger are without doubt
the funniest performers in their line and
the audience is kept in a roar of laugh
ter from start to finish. At tGrand opera
