that he nay have hankering after the

PROF. GIBBON DEAD.
Well Known Wisconsin Teacher Passes
Away at Home of Myron Bow
ker Saturday Afternoon.
WAS PRINCIPAL AT OSHKOSH
Prof Gibbon Came to Kenosha County IN
tie Summer to Spend Vacation ana
was Seized with Attack of Paralysis

Prof. David S. Gibbon, a brother OF
the late w. S. Gibbon, and one of the
best known instructors of the public
schools at Oshkosh, died at the home
of his father-iu-1aw, Hiram Bowker,
in the town of Somers, last Saturday
afternoon. The deceased had been IN
Soners since last June, when he came
there to spend the summer vacation.
A short time after he arrived he was
seized with creeping paralysis, which
finally caused his death.
Prof. Gibbon was forty-two years OF
age, and d man of great education. he
was born in Kenosha county, and after
the education of the common country
schools he went to the Normal at Osh-
kosh where he made brilliant record.
After he had been teaching for
number Of years he was recalled to
Oshkosh to accept a professorsh1p IN
+he CITY schools. Since that time he
had been one of the best known of the
instructors in the school and his work
had drawn the atten ton of schools IN
all parts of the country to Oshkosh.
When he was taken sick last summer
the directors of the Oshkosh schoOI re-
fused to accept his resignation and his
place was held open pending his re-
covery. His death has caused great
deal of sorrow among his former
friends in this county. A wife and
three children survive.
The funeral will be held from his
late residence on next Thursday after
noon and six professors who were con-
nected with the Oshkosh school will be
the pail bearers.

WAUKEGAN %, KENOsHA O.
High School Team Meets a Terrible De
feat at Waukegan on Saturday.

The Kenosha High School team is
looking for place to hide the igominy
of the defeat at Waukegan Saturday,
when they were defeated by score of
% to 0. The Kenosha boys went down
to Waukegan with banners waving,
expecting at least to make a showing
against the Waukega mites, but they
returned trailing their banners in the
dust, having been defeated by the
largest score ever piled up against a
Kenosha team.
The Kenosha boys were outplayed
and outc1assed and while they made a
slight show of resistance, their oppo-
nents simply walked over them and
carried the bail over the goal at will.
The Kenosha boys did not get the oall
near the line at any time and few
brilliant plays were made by any 11em-
Der. 1t is probable that afte- this
disastrous defeat the local team will
disband for the season.

"CALEB WEST"
This Beautiful Play Can be Seen at NC
Vicker's in Chicago.

"Ca1eb Vest has made trememd-
Gus hit at McVicker's theatre, Chicago,
where it is running to audiences that
pack the theatre nightly. Like all of
Jacob Lifts productions this play of
New England seafolk is shown with
scenery handsome and appropriate
and at least two Of its effects are the
best of their kind ever shown on
stage. They are the storm in the sec
ond act and the moonlight scene in the
last act The contrast between the
two scenes is wonderful, the one all
tunult and noise, the other quiet and
peaceful, as is the ending of the story,
The storm occurs while the principal
characters in the play are out on Shark
Ledge, where the light house is
building. At first there are low
ru1nbles of thunder accompanied by
the swishing of white caps against the
rocks and the whist1ing of the wind.
Then the stage grows darker and
heavy black clouds begin to fly past
while the wind increases in fury and
the derrick poles begin to sway as
though C1GV were ICdlI1SIS' ACoChIAJ
there is roar from the wind and
terrific outbreak of heavens artillery.
Forked lightning flashes from every
part of the sky and everything is con-
fusion.
It is on this scene of Natures con-
vulsion that the curtain falls. Very
different from this is the exquisite
beauty of the moonlight. When the
curtain rises on the last act the warm
glow of the descending sun lights up
the stage. This is succeeded by cool,
gray shadows that speak of eventide
and then the water is a-shimmer with
the soft, silver light which heralds the
comirg of fair Luna. Presently the
lun1inary of night peeps from behind
bank of cloud and slowly sails up
into the sky, while out over the water
path of ripping gold marks her pas
sage. The effect is irresistibly beauti-
full. .~---..--.
'Ca1eb Vest is set down as the big
success of the Chicago season, and
with reason, for no new play has come
into the theatres of that city and
scored such an emphatic triumph.
