Junior Glass Day.

On Friday evening of last week
the Junior Glass of the Logan
High School, instead of the stayed
programs on such occasions, put
upon the stage at Rempel's Opera
House the play of "She Stoops to
Conquer" With the strength of
this great play before us, the MEM
ory of the strong players who have
made the play famous, we went to
the opera.house out of respect to
this excellent and most esteemed
class of the new century, prepared
to bury the faults and with little
expectancy of real merit,
The program opened with a
most excellent effort Of recitations
by those of the class who were not
on the play roll. The orchestra
rendered most enhancing music,
and the college yell gave spirit to
the presence of advance pupils.
Soon the curtain rose to the roll of
the famous play, and from the first
word uttered and the first position
taken to the curtain falling on the
last scene, we were indeed marvel
ed at the ability of our oung peo-
pie. We may be green and have
lacked the opportunity that great
men enjoy of seeing plays so much
better, that this was school play to
them, but we were certainly happy
in our ignorance. This illustrious
production no doubt has been
placed before the people more
forceful, and with fine robe and
artistic bearing, but the renditions
of Friday evening by the Logan
Junior class was good enough foi
US. We have none to compli'
ment more than the other in the
cast OF characters. We were enter.
tained most royalty from start tC
finish, remembering that those be
fore us were untutored in stage
bearing, we engulfed in the heap
ing host Of meritorious charateriz
ations the few errors that might
have been made. We are proud o
the effort of our young people, anC
have not the excellence of langu
age to express our delight and gOot
will toward them.

Patrice says: The trial 1 have
given your "COrdette" has convinc-
ed me of its superiority to any
fabric for giving shape to garments.
1t possesses all the good qualities
of Hair-cloth, and none OF the bad
bad ones. 1t retains its elasticity
and durability to marvellous de-

Treasurer J. II. Kline met with
a very painful accident this week.
His wife set lighted lamp Oh the
sewing machine and it toppled
over setting fire to the curtains at
the windows of the room. Mr..
Kline rushed from an adjoining
room and tore the curtains down
and threw them out, thus saving
the building, hut he burned his
hands fearfully. At this time he is
getting along alright but the in
sides of his hands are a beautiful

Kline proved himself brave fire

month he defined the right of interyen-
tlon in the Transvaal which England
had, limiting IL to cases in which the
convention OF 1884 had been violated,
or In which English subjects had been
treated I'm such manner as would give
cause for Intervention IL they were resi-
dents of some independent foreign
country. as France or Germany.
He added. however, in accordance
with his imperialistic views: "Then
there is only one other case. We can
make friendly recommendation to the
Transvaal for the benefit of South
Africa generally and In the interests
OF peace"
March "a petition, which had been
| signed by over 10000 British subjects
| in the Transvaal, was forwarded to the
British government through Conyng-
ham Greene, the British agent at Pre-
toria. 1t dealt with political grievances
only, and aimed to show that the Beers
were continually making existence
harder for the Uitlanders. A body
known as the Uitlander council was
| formed, and it's communications with
| Sir Alfred Miner, governor Of Cape
| Colony, met with favorable response.
| Since then the Boer has been Eng
lands chefest concern. Negotiations,
until very lately, had been continu-
ously in progress, in the hope of secur-
| ing a peaceful settlement of the
! troubles, but they only resulted in pro-
ducing firmer and more emphatic as
sertion of his position by President
Kruger: and now the whole contro-
versy is being adjusted by war.

There's more real comfort and health in

warm and we keep the body warm. The COM
Portable shoes help to be sure, but the overgaters
add the necessary finishing touches.
They are made of best quality felt in black
only and are seven buttons higl-high enough
to offer every protection from cold to the wearer.
Most stores think them cheap at half dol
lar. They are much below cost at fourteen cents.
Do not look for them on Saturday for they'll all
be gone when Friday night comes.

see the laces.
Most of them are machine-made Torchons
in edgngs and insertings though in the lot are
quite a number of pieces of the delcately woven
Valenciennes kind
Some of them have been 8 cents and ten
cents the yard, while others have sold as low
as five cents, though worth more
You may carry away all you wish on Fri
