AN EXCELLENT PLAY
Presented by a Good Company Coming
Next Sunday Evening.

Presented by a Good Company Coming
Next Sunday Evening.
An attraction, the reputation OF
which will naturally attract the atten-
ton of theatre goers, will play an en-
gagement at the Rhode opera house
next Sunday evening. The company
in question is the superb organization,
at the head of which is Marie Lamour,
the brilliant coincidence from Days
theatre, New York. This organization
is presenting for the first time in Amer
lea the clever comedy, "A Wise
Woman" the authorship of which is
Wilfred Clarke's. The company which
has been selected to support Miss
Lamour in the presentation of Mr..
Clarke's comedy contains many we'll
known players, the best known OF
whom is probably Frederic Murphy,
last season leading man for Julia Mar
lowe. A Wise Woman" received its
first production at the Strand theatre,
London, where it has a record of 238
nights to enormous receipts. This, in
itself, is endorsement enough.

pOwdervil1o Notes of interest.

Tuesday was pay day at the powder
works.
The usual clock like work at the
powder works was broken for few
hours on Saturday owing to the supply
of Portland cement running short. The
regular shipment of this important
material was wrecked before reaching
its destination.
The excitement caused by the at
tempted robbery of the Pleasant Prairie
postoffice is succeeded by the more real
one at Johnson's boarding house. The
rooms of a number of the men were
broken into and their owners relieved
of what spare cash they happened to
have. If the hand of justice is slow it
is to be hoped that it will be equally
sure. The victims can i'll afford to
have their savings go for so small q
recompense as cursing the miscreant.
AS usual the affair was we'll managed
and there is no clew, Mr.. Johnson has
made every effort to find some trace
whereby the hiding place of the robbers
might be discovered. He confessed,
however, that so far he has been an
successful; he is very indignant and
swears that it would not be well for him
to lay hands on any of the wretches.
We are glad Rev. Mayors vacation is
nearing it's close. We miss bis pleasant
face very much. The pulpit has been
filed by very able divines during the
past few weeks, but we think our pas
tor is the right man in the right
place." A hearty welcome awaits him
on his return and we trust that the
much needed rest has done it's good
work. Of course we expect Mrs
Mayer to return with him; we can
hardly comprehend his returning with
out her. To be honest with ourselves,
we do not see how this part of the
world can get along without her.
j. W. Billingsley, whose foot was
crushed some time ago, is about again.
He has had very painful fortnight.

A MONSTER PICNIC.

70 be Given at Union Grove August 10
by the Modern woodmen of America.
August 10 will be a gala day for the
village of Union Grove. 1t will be the
occasion of the first annual picnic of
the Racine county Modern Woodmen
of America picnic association. AttOr-
ney E. E. Mills, of Burlington, is chair
man of the association. There are over
one thousand Woodmen in the county
and fair estimate of the crowd to be
present upon this occasion, barring
bad weather, places it at 10000 people.
Gov. Edward Scofeld, of Wisconsin,
will be present; also head consul w.
A. Northcott, lieutenant governor OF
Illinois, and Char les E. Whalen, Mayor
of Madison, speakers. Four bands
will lead the parade from the WoOdman
hall to the picnic ground. There
will be an exciting game of base
ball between the Union Grove and
Kenosha teams and all other amuse-
ments usually found at live picnic
will be on the program. Special trains
will be run from various sections of the
country. Dinner and refreshments
will be served on the grounds. There
will be dance at Woodman hall in
the evening.
There is strong feeling prevalent
that the Woodmen of Kenosha county
join in the future with their Racine
county neighbors and in this way be
able to hold the best picnic in Wiscon-
sin. Let everybody attend and con-
tribute to the success of the occasion.

Lily Runals' somers Recital

The harmonious and kindly feeling
existing between Miss Lily Runals and
the Somers public seemed to create a
most delightful atmosphere for the re-
cital given in the M. E. church Friday
evening every member on the choice
program was a perfect success. Must
clans were enthusiastic over the open
ing number, a bit of Verdi's glowing
Italian music, which proved the singer
to be in fine form, and when two num-
bersa later she swung into Gounod's
immortal serenade, b" Sing, Smile,
Slumber," even the children were
breathlessly silent and the last verse
flowing in absolutely perfect mezzo
voce" was simply exquisite. In
response to a prolonged recall Miss
Runals gave that irresistible little
Irshism, " Finnigan and Flanagan"
The comedetta Fast Friends,
presented by the Misses AGeline and
Ethel Baker. pupils of Miss Runals,
was extremely we'll done, and kept the
audience interested from first to last.
This scene would have graced larger
platform and reflected great credit on
both the young ladies. each showing
the culture resulting from study and
still retaining their naturalness and
individuality. Miss Adeline responded
to the determined encore with funny
sneezing duet, which brought down
the house.
Later on the program Miss Ethel re-
cited that grand and taxing dramatic
soliloquy, GA Royal Princess, in truly
royal manner, These young studedts
give, much promise for the future in
dramatic work Indeed there was not
one weak number on the entire pro
gram. An enthusiastic man said on
coming out: "Pd give one dollar right
now to hear one number over again.
Mention should be made of the quaint
darkey lullaby "Close Yo' Eyes" as in
terpreted by Lily Runals. It was
irresistible. This entertainment was a
treat which Somers people cannot soon
if ever enjoy again.

Starting a Creamery.

G. A. LaGrave and M. Cohn are here
from Carson in the interest of a cream
cry. They haye been among the ranch
ers all week talking the matter up.
Considerable interest is being taken and
the prospects are good that Lovelock
will soon have u creamery.
1t has been suggested that the CO.
operative plan be adopted, after the
method successfully tried in Carson VAL
ley. The necessary capital can readily
be had if the ranchers will subscribe the
stock and agree to supply the creamery
with milk.
The plan is to deduct five cents on the
hundred pounds OF milk from each
stakeholder. till the stock is paid for
with interest at 6 per cent. The price of
milk varies from 40 cents to 81 .25 on the
hundred pounds.
The creamery will be owned and con-
trolled entirely by farmers of the valley.
LaGrave and Cohn's interest in the
project lies in the expectation that they
might get the contract to build the
creamery.-Lovelock Tribune.

WAGES RAISRD BY GOOD
TIMES.
Action of a Big Illinois Com
pany.

A Chicago special to the Chronicle
of February 9Th says:
"In the employ OF the American Steel
and Wire Company are about 36, 1000
men. As many OF the number as are
paid $3.50 a day or less for their labor
will receive a substantial advance in
wages on March LIST.
This action has just been decided up
on by the officers of the company. The
advance was not asked for by the IN
ployes, and to most OF them it will come
as a happy surprise. 1t is ordered sim
ply because the officers of the big con-
Germ believe the working men ought to
share the good times and prosperity
which the moneyed men are now enjoy
ing. The advance is to be made OH a
sliding scale, that will give the poorest
paid employees the greatest proportion Of
the benefit.
1t provides that all employees earning
$3.50 a day or less shall receive an ad.
vance of 10 per cent. All earning be-
tween $1.50 and 81 will get an advance
of N per cent, and all who now earn
between So and $3.50 will have an in
crease of 5 per cent. This advances in
wages means that the American Steel
and Wire Company will have to increase
the pay roll between $500 900 and ST.
DOC, 900 a yeaI, and President John Lam
bert OF the company thinks it will be
money we'll spent. So far as he is con-
cerned in causing the advance, he is re-
ally fulfilling the promise made to the
employees of the old Conso lidated Steel
and Wire Company at Joliet in the last
Presidential campaign. In an address
he made at that time he told the men if
Bryan was elected he would not be re-
sponsible for either their work or their
wages after Inauguration day. On the
other hand, he promised that if McKin-
ley was elected wages would not be re-
duced. but would be advanced as o on as
business conditions warranted it.

Bemidji, Mimi, Dec. 1.-THE
weather for the past week has been
quite satisfactory to the loggers in
this county, though there is as yet
no snow for hauling Operations:
The nights are colder and the lakes
are gradually freezing up, as also are
the marshes. More than 200, OOO, 900
feet Of logs are already skidded, it is
estimated, and 200, 100000 more will
be cut before the winter is over. In
the last ninety days over 5000 men
have gone into the woods from this
point, and over 4, 1000 horses. The
transfer of these logging operations
from farther east to this point and
the building of the Fosston extern

been blessing to many farmers in
the Red river valley, as from that
quarter have come almost One-half
