SWAY Down East"

Manager William A. Brady's produc-
ton of Lottie Blair Parker's play, "Way
Down East" will be given at the David
son Theatre, Milwaukee, for one week,
beginning next Sunday night. This is
the same great play that for several
months crowded the Manhattan theatre
and the Academy of Music New York,
427 times. 1t will be given in Milwaukee
with splendid cast, elaborate scenery
and effects, with every attention to de-
tail that tended to make it's metropolitan
engagement so noticeable. The play is
a splendid study of New England life,
full of sentiment and that peculiar ap
pealing quality which strikes home to
every heart. It is called a story of plain
people, and they are plain every day
characters engaged in homely pursuits
of domesticity, but the series of events
which are unfolded in the course of the
play are of deep, dramatic interest,
enhanced by the simplicity and natural
ness of the telling. The best of critics
pronounce it superior play to 1.-THE
Old Homestead" or "Shore Acres"
And wherever it has been presented
scores of letters from clergymen, school
teachers and others have been received
telling of their delight at the story it so
aptly teaches. The dialogue is stirring,
the wit and humor bright, and the love
scenes deftly arranged. There will be
matinees on Wednesday and Saturday
afternoons.

VIM. Owen.

"Othello," Shapespeare's greatest play,
will be given an elaborate and intelligent
production at Royal Hall in this city on
the evening of Friday, October 10th by
the William Owen Company, a dramatic
organization that comes heralded as the
best that tours the west. AS Iago Mr..
Owen is declared to be equal to any of
the great actors who have appeared in
the role in recent years. The play
abounds with. many of the strongest
scenes known to the drama, and no &C
tor with less ability than that possessed
by Mr.. Owen could hope to essay the role
with any degree of success. Some of the
climaxes of. the play are intensely thrill
ing and must be most ably presented to
convey good idea of the possibilities in
them. That Mr.. Owen is fully equal to
all the requirements of the role is con-
coded by all critics in every city where
he has appeared in Othello.
The supporting company consists of
players of unquestioned ability, and low
ers of the drama will find nothing want
ing that will contribute to an excellent
production of one of the greatest plays
ever written.
Patrons are requested to bs in their
seats early, as the curtain will positively
ring up at 8:15.

TOWNSHIP SYSTEM OF SCHOOLS.
A New Plan About to be Adopted in Cen
ter

A New Plan About to be Adopted in Gen.
L. d. Harvey, state superintendent of
schools, and County Superintendent of
Schools, VIM. M. Ross, drove out to the
town OF Center Friday to look over the
ground and examine into the feasibility
of uniting all the district schools in the
township and having one centrally To-
Gated school,
The town of Center now has seven or
eight schools and by the plan proposed
by Superintendent Harvey the expense
OF taking care of seven or eight buildings
would be done away with and the num-
Der OF teachers required reduced to four.
Thls plan has been tried in more than
sixty different towns In the northern part
of the state and is great success.
The 4OO Or more scholars residing in
the town will have the advantage of
higher education. By the plan larger
number of scholars are centralized and
can be given the benefit of higher in
structlon which cannot be given in the
small district schools.
In connection with this plan for CEN
tralizing the schools is one for running
public conveyances to pick the scholars
every morning and convey them to the
school. They figure that what they save
in the hire of teachers will more than
pay for the public transportation. This
proposition will be submitted to the
voters of the town at the coming election
and if the majority favor the change it
will be carried out at once.
Supt. Harvey has had considerable ex-
perience in changes of this kind and in
every place where it has been tried it is
a complete success.
Supt. Ross has been working on this
project for years and he has no doubt
that the town of Center will fall into
line. He thinks if Center takes favor
able action Magnolia will be the next in
the field. -Gazette.

Special Issue of The National.

Editor Joe M. Chapple, now of "The
National Magazine" formerly of the Ash
land Press, sent large number of copies
of the October number of his magazine
to the citizens of Edgerton last week.
seems to have created considerable fav-
body speaks highly of the publication,
and of the push and enterprise of it's
editor in supplying the Edgerton citi-
zens with this exquisite number. 1t is
remarkably tasty in makeup and matter.
In fact there are those way up in literary
work who say that it is the best edited
American magazine, coming more in
touch with the people in it's presentation
of timely topics, and the work of Ameri-
can authors and artists.
The initial article on the Galveston
disaster, by one of the survivors, Editor
Ousley, of the Galveston Tribune, and a
scientific treatise on the same by Willis
L. Moore, chief of the weather bureau,
are particularly interesting. Editor
Ousleys article is said to be the most
graphic and vivid account of the disas-
ter that has yet appeared, or probably
ever will apper. 1t is being preserved
all over the country by people for his
torical reference to be handed down.
The remaider of the contents of the
magazine are also highly interesting.
We notice that Editor Chapple makes
special inducement to the Edgerton
people to subscribe, offering the maya
zine from Oct. l, 1900 to Jan. l, 1902, for
S1.OO, the price of one years subscrip-
ton. We predict that he will gain a
large number of new subscriptions in
Edgerton as result of this enterprising
movement. The magazine is certainly a
wonder at S1.OO year.

OthellO.

It is so seldom that we are given the
opportunity to see really good perform
ance of the good old plays that we can
not afford to miss the opportunity when
it is offered. The performance of the
William Owen Company at Royal Hall
on Friday, October 10Th, will undoubt-
eddy be dramatic treat. Mr.. Owen has
great reputation for the portrayal of
the character of "Iago" in Shakespeare s
masterpiece, "Othello." Special atten-
ton is paid to the stage settings in all of
Mr.. Ovens productions, and the cos
tunes are magnificent and all historically
correct.
Patrons are requested to be in their
seats early, as the curtain will positive
ly ring up at 8:15.

POPULAR WITH CATTLEMEN
Dennis Flynn Hold Big Meeting in


Beaver City, O. t, Sept. 1L-Dennis
Flynn opened his campaign in Beaver
county at this place this afternoon. 1t
was the greatest political meeting ever
held in Beaver county. People came from
all portions of the county. Beaver coun-
ty is thirty-four miles wide and ore
hundred and sixty miles long, and all
parts of the county were represented in
that meeting. The tidal wave of enthu-
siasm which has been sweeping over the
rest OF Oklahoma has reached Beaver
county and everybody is whoOping it up
for Flynn Judge Hainer is holding court
here and in compliance with the univer
sally expressed wish of the people he
adjourned court to give Mr.. Flynn the
court house. So large was the crowd
that not one-half of it could get into the
court room.
Mr. FIynns speech was one Of the
best that he has ever delivered. For the
first time in his life he was guilty of
real oratory. His address was eloquent
and earnest. He discussed national as
we'll as local politics. and his able effort
was greeted with an almost continuous
storm of applause Those who have for
years been listening to the Oklahoma del
egate talk free homes were surprised at
his ability to discuss national conditions
irIs such an able manner. Judge Hainer
was delighted Said he: 81 never knew
before that Dennis was an orator. There
is more in him than free homes.
The sentiment for Flynn is very
strong. Almost all the people are for
him. Democrats who are in sympathy
with Bryan and the principles of their
party are for Flynn. They claim that in
Beaver county there are no partisan pol
itics to speak of. and they believe that
Mr.. Flynn can do them more good than
any other man that could be sent to con-
congress, consequently they are going to
support him. He win get most of the
Democratic vote Of Beaver county. In
the large audience that greeted the Ok
lahoma delegate here today were many
Democrats who were among his most en-
thusiastic supporters. The cattlemen are
all for Flynn, regardless Of political sf-
fliations. The meeting of Beaver has
been a gala day for Republicanism in
Beaver county. From here Mr.. Flynn
goes west TO Hardesty, where he is TO
speak on the 18th. He IS accompanied
by Chairman Thomas Ferguson, VINO
makes many friends and has proved
genuine mixer among the people here.

/ MADE THIN SICK
Pettigrew Sent the Nef Crowd
a Letter About Flynn.
THEY HAVE HIDDEN 1T
And 1t VIII Never See the
Light of Day.

Oklahoma City, o. T., Sept. 15.-After
repeated attempts the managers of the
fusion congressional campaign are in de-
spair over the free homes anti-Fiynn
campaign which Neff was TO make.
The committee although it has writ
ten and telegraphed, can not get, ap-
parently, any eastern congressman or
senator of Democratic or Populist
stamp. to put his finger in the Oklahoma
One Of the early campaign argue
ments of the Neff crowd was that Flynn
was not responsible for free homes, that
Eddy, or Pettigrew or Lacey or any OF
fifty men passed the bill, and not Flynn.
The first blow this argument received
was when Eddy came to the territory
and Travelled over it, telling the people
that it was Flynn who passed the ia
nous measure.
But it was not Knockout blow. The
Neff managers still hoped that they could
get Pettigrew or someone else in congress
to write. letter or send a telegram say
ing that Flynn did not have the dominant
part in the success of the bill.
The letter the campaign committee re-
ceived from Pettigrew has not been made
public 1t hasn't seen the light of day
but once since Pettigrew mailed it.
When it was read, it sent a chill down
Chairman Taylors spine that froze the
marrow between the vertebrae. 1t is
now in a safe and under complicated
combination. IT will probably remain
there.
1t wasn't what the committee expected.
1t didn't take the Neff side of the con-
troversy
The fusion committee has tried other
members of congress. Some of the let
tiers it sent were fatty unanswered, 9TH
ers came which were no better political
documents for the Neff side than Petit
crews.
Perhaps before the campaign is over
the committee may be able to get some
obscure member of congress from
far away state to say that Flynn
"only did his duty" but at the
present time even that probability is so
thin it wouldn't cast shadow.
