The new woman dressed in all her robes,
Though hideous, the microbes like.
The microbe, alias bacillus,
Is the physicians favorite friend.
Whatever the ailment he is sure to say
That danger doth portend.
No matter what you suffer from
The microbe is to blame.
You may ward him off, but he will come
And get there all the same.
He is very small and invisible
And hard to keep away.

Bacilli SpoiIs all Fun.

He exfoliates and multiplies
And his offspring do the same
And their offspring do likewise,
And become innumerable and tame.
No matter where you are sick or i'll,
No matter where you have pain;
To have you doctors microbes-kill,
For they have microbes on the brain.
Even boomers cannot scare microbes,
When scorching on the bike.

The grand opening day did not
dawn very auspiciously, so far as
weather conditions were concerned.
Lowering clouds hung in the sky
and Eumbling thunders were
heard. These ominous signs
seemed tonportend a gathering
storm, and between s and 8 o'clock
a slight shower occurred. This
sIdisarranged, the plans of the Old
1Settlers for the day. The reunion
and barbecue to have begun at
noon was postponed until 2:3O
O'Clock. It was held on the mill
tary reserve by the side of the road
just outside the Chautauqua
i grounds. A delightful spot had
! been cleared of brush and stand
erected for the speakers, Around
slstlis a sort of table had been erect
Jed of planed boards off which the
I Old Settlers dined. The lateness
;llof the hour, however, at which the
event came off prevents us giving
a detailed account of the proceed
ings. Full particulars Of the event
will, however; be presented in the
next issue Of the daily.
It is to be regretted that the
weather proved so unfavorable as
it's threatening attitude greatly in
fterfered with the pleasure Of what
had been planned to make a
most happy and successful gath
ering.

was held in the auditorium with a
view to perfecting permanent

Last nights presentation of the
]"Midsummer Nights Dream" was
witnessed by a larger audience
than on the previous evening and
proved delightful entertainment.
An interesting program Of special

Indian band, a piano solo by Miss
Dziewanowski, hornpipe dance by

Pels- the statement that, consider
ling the fact that the cast is com
posed entirely of amateurs, the
wonder is that there is so little
ground for fault finding. They

ertainment, all the youthful &C.
tors doing fairly well, while among
them are several who give evidence
of possessing more than ordinary
dramatic talent, which but needs
developing to secure for them en-
viable positions on the stage. Miss
Wilmer is certainly genius and
ought to rise rapidly. The read
ing given by her Thursday night
was as fine bit of elocutionary
work as an audience could wish
for, while on both nights she did
herself credit in the part Of Nick
Bottom, the weaver. Miss Brown
ing, Miss Evans, Miss McKusick,
Miss Olson, Miss Runge and 9TH
ers possess talent of no mean d.
mensions and ought to achieve
success. In fact the Manning
College players are credit to that
educational institution and the
very best advertisement of its ex-
cellence that could possibly be
sent forth.

lday or two ago.
G. E. Cox, manager of the La
kota Herald, was on the grounds
yesterday afternoon, and last even
ling had the pleasure Of witnessing
the entertainment in the audi
torium.
C%C. Clifford concluded that a
front porch would improve the
appearance of his restaurant
property and so yesterday as
sembled a force of carpenters and
had one erected the entire length
the building. It is sure enough
improvement.
Mrs. S. E. Bates, of Grafton,
came last evening and was an in
terested spectator at the audi
torium. Mrs. Bates is editor and
proprietor of the Grafton News
and Times, one of the verv best
and most prosperous weekly news
papers in the state.
The Manning College players
took their departure this afternoon
and Landlord Baughman feels
sort of relieved. They are a nice
lot of girls. but their exuberance
of youth and health causes them
to take unto themselves a girlish
freedom that is apt to prove an
noying to bonifaces.
Carl Nelson, of the Cando
Record is taking in the Old Set

Manager Nelson, of the Manning
College players and came Wednes-
day in order to have visit with
his relative and be present at the

Several Of the members of the
Manning College players organi-
zation did not return to Mime
apolis this afternoon. Among
those who remained over was Miss
Eva Barber, who created very
favorable impression at the audi
torium last evening Miss Barber
is young lady of charming per
sonality and marked beauty, and
possesses rich voice Of universal
compass and sweetness, Her work
last night evinced rare talent, and
while she is undoubtedly capable
Of presenting any character, it is
evident that she is especially
adapted to emotional or tragic
roles.
Another of the Manning players
who remained behind for a day or
two is Miss Genevieve Elizabeth
Carswell. She is also possessed of
a marvellous voice, rich, round,
deep and of powerful range that
enabled her without apparent ef-
fort to- be distinctly heard in the
remotest part of the vast auditor
ium. Miss Carswell has magnf-
