Faust" Last Might.

'"Eaust," Last Night.
A good audience greeted "Faust',
last night at the Luella. It was q crit
ical audience, the majority having seen
"Faust" before, and expecting the
efforts of the Huebner-Settle Company
to present Goethe's great triumph
would be a tame production of that
masterpiece Of the stage.
But the first act was not over till
every one felt that a treat was in store
and this expectation found a pleasing
climax IN the closing scene. The stage
settings are most elaborate, the COM

The cause of no incandesent lights
Monday night was at first thought to
be injury to the dynamo by lighting
but it WAS later found that the current
was cut off by a switch and while the
dynamo was doing its full duty our

"This is the year above all others
that Sturgis should celebrate" So
says a local item in the Sturgis Press,
a populist paper that, like all other
anti papers, is persistently declaring
that everything is going from bad to
worse. Why celebrate if things are so
bad as papulist papers and populist
orators would have us believe?
