Nine. Sembrich, who comes to Wor-
cester theatre Dec. 10, is very much
amused at the great number of parts
in which she has been cast during her
professional career She has made a
collection of all the photographs which
size has had in costume, and putting
them into a great album, presented
them to DR.. William Stengler, her hus-
band, as a birthday present. The al
bum took unto itself almost unexpected
proportions, Nine. Sembrich having
appeared in no less than fifty roles.
And she still practices every day, and
works hard, which will be no balm to
the young aspirants who seem to think
that art is easy and exactly as it seems
to be from a position in front of the
footlights.

NEWSPAPER FAKES.

The city of Worcester has had it's
share of that kind of journalism which
tells today as a fact of Importance
what is not true. what is evidently false
and what must be contradicted the fol-
lowing day. There was a sample of
this kind of Misrepresentation in re-
gard to the Consolidated Street Rail
way. The old story of a sale to a
New York syndicate was warmed over
and displayed to fill space. That is a
fair sample of what The Spy will not
do for its readers When you don't
see it in The Spy, it isn't so.
The only afternoon paper published
in New England yesterday was the
New London Day, a little folio that
evidently lost it's calendar. Thanks
giving day is a cinch for the afternoon
newspaper men.

Satisfied With Utah Country.

The following from one of our old
residents of this county who lived
near Worthington and went to Utah
about year ago. Their many friends
in this part of the county will be
pleased to hear that they are 80 we'll
satisfied with the change:
We are now satisfied that in max
ing our move it was for the best. We
are we'll pleased with this part of the
country. l have heard people say
Utah had good climate and when
that was said all was said. That is a
mistake as fruit raising is a success
and as to the raising Of grain in my
mind is superior to parts in the east.
One good feature is home market
and good prices and the expense Of
living here is all of one half less than
in the east. One would think that
strange owing to good prices it is
easily explained. One can get all of
the apples they wish for picking them
up, while hand picked apples bring
40 cents per bushel. You can get
almost any kind Of fruit for picking
on shares. Pears, plums, peaches
apricots, prunes and such fruit bring
from 81 .25 to $50 per bushel at tn.
orchards.
II any Of the Minnesota people
think Of making a change for better
climate they will do we'll to see part.

Another Case at Round Lake.
One of the lady nurses came up on
the Burlington train Tuesday noon
on her way home, being relieved by
one that went down in the morning.
To an Advance reporter she
stated that John Hepler was brought
into the camp that morning, down
with smallpox, -, He is brother Of
Chas. Hepler, one of the patient"
that died. Those in charge are watch
ing another suspected place very at
entively. As to the condition OF
those affected she said: Miss Saxon is
on the road to recovery. Mrs. Saxon
is doing nicely and will recover. Mrs
Moeller will be up in few days.
Mr.. Kennedy is about we'll again, and
while Mr.. johnson is quite sick yet
he will recover all right. When she
left it was the intentions to- raise the
quarantine on the town "wednesday
today.
While it is regretted that there are
any more cases yet it is very pleasing
to know that the patients are getting
better With bright prospects of recov-
cry.

The following from the Citizen,
Window: The gentleman who says,
"Windom pays the highest school
superintendent salary of any other
town, near it's size, in the state" is
somewhat mistaken. Window: with

to pay $1,4OO; Tracy, with vaJsa-
ton of $360,579, pays 81, 400; Waseca,

pays $l 400: Worthington, with val
uation of $453, ,029, pays 81, $50; Pipe

The surveying of line through
the village along the lake shore has
aroused the temperament Of
some of our citizens to quite a
pitch, in opposition to the construc-
tion of the Burlington on that line,
but so far has not reached any
point of action except the circu-
lation of petition, which reads
as followe:
To the B., G. r. & N. Co..
The undersigned, residents and
property owners of the Village of
Worthington, Mobiles County, MINI,
hereby protest against the attempt
of your company to use the bank of
'Okabena Lake for the right of way
for the extension of your road from
; this point.
This village has gone to a large
expense in preserving this lake and
it's adds very much to the beauty Of
our town. while the drive around its
shore, which you propose to use is
one of the best and most valuable
streets of our village and the laying
of your road over it would practical
ly destroy it as drive and injure it
very materially for ordinary street
purposes.
We believe that you can pass
through the town with just as little
expense to you and much less injury
to the village by taking another
route. We do not believe that you
would Intentionally do ought to in
jure this village and we ask that you
fully consider this matter in the
light of the interests Of both parties.
Xxx
After some discussion this method
was adopted but it is very slow
one and the effectiveness of such pa
pers, as rule, are Of little value and
we fear will fall short in its purpose.
It appears to us that if the people
desire to take any action the calling
of a mass meeting would be the bet
ter way, and elect a. committee to
confer with the officials, then the
citizens would know why the Bur
lington desired to go through this
way and if an amicable arrangement
co..ld not be reached, then people
would know just why the company
persisted in running their line where
they did in the face of the opposi
ton.
We do not believe the company
would run their line through The
village where there is'a strong, ope1
manifested opposition, as they dc
not desire to antagonize the people
of this village, it certainly woulc
not be policy for them to do 80. The
surveyors are now at work in the vii
lage limits, steel is on the grount
and no time is to be lost if any form
idable opposition is to be made.

A Real Bottom1ess Pit.

Few indeed are they who have pene-
trated to the innermost recesses Of Will
lis cave-to the great rotunda where
the icy water of the "big spring" takes
leap into the midnight blackness Of
the s'bottomless pit. :" The entrance to
the cave is at the summit of hill near
Versailles, Ind.
Rider Haggard, in his imaginary pic
lures of underground horrors, has told
nothing that would equal the true story
which single misstep would furnish
in Willis cave. A stream Of water
pours from the rock, and, pursuing a
devious underground channel for a
quarter of a mile, emerges into vast
chamber with slanting, slippery floor
inclining to sink hole in the center.
Down this hole the stream pours and is
lost forever. By means Of ropes and
weights the sink hole has been sounded
to depth Of 400 feet, land still the
bottom has not been reached. The room
is surrounded by a narrow ledge of
rock, on which daring explorers have
made complete circuit. One step off
the ledge upon the slippery floor would
mean almost instant death in the bot
tomless pit.
