I'm OLD KENTUCKY.
Two Weeks Attraction at Mcvicar's
4@+ Theatre in Chicago.


Love, heroisrn, pluck and sincerity
are the qualities which have made
Jacob Lifts ssIn Old Kentucky" the
tremendous popular success which it
is. The old play is taking a new lease
of life at McVicar's theatre, Chicago,
where it is playing two weeks en-
gagement to audiences that pack the
house as if the piece was in its first,
instead of it's seventh season.
The charm OF freshness is lent to
this engagement by the splendid seem
cry painted for the New York Acad-
envy and used only in that house and
at McVicker's. The superb setting of
the mountain scene is the admiration
of all. Over chasm that c1eaves the
mountain in twain, slight bridge is
thrown way up at dizzy height above
the stage. Across this bridge the
heroine runs to her solitary little home
on still farther height. Presently
one of the men who loves her, fired by
jealousy of another, cuts the rope that
holds the bridge, and Madge comes
back and sees the man she loves lying
unconscious, while a smoking fuse at
tached to dyna mite bomb threatens
his life.
The girl rushes for the bridge and
finds it gone; then, frantic with the
sense of danger, she seizes rope and
swings across the chasm to save her
lover.
The pickaninny scene in the second
act goes sp1endid1y as presented at
McVickers. The little "coons'' enjoy
the fro1ic and fun intensely and the
dancing and singing give genuine en-
joyment.
This year Elsa Ryan, beauty, and
bright and talented girl, plays Madge
and plays it well. She is the daintiest
sweetest little person one would want
to see, and in her jockey costume looks
charming. The engagement ends
Saturday night, April IA.
Blanche Walsh and Melbourne Mac
Dowel1, in an elaborate revival of
Sardou's cleopatra" will be the at

production of "Prince Otto''.

A Letter.
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
Lend your serious hearing to what [
shall unfo1d.-Ham1et.
Dear Sir:-In your issue of March
10Th, under Somers news, there ap-
peared an item relating to my illness,
which item contained an implied
doubt rejecting upon my veracity and
character as man. l beg space to
address a few words to your Somers
correspondent who probably poses as a
christian, and possibly Sunday school
teacher.
To the man or woman, who, for per-
sona1 motives, will resort to such
sneaking and coward1y means to at
tack the character of man, l will
simply say, Shrink back to your
proper sphere and Leave newspaper
correspondence to higher and nob1er
minds.
In conclusion I would refer the said
correspondent to St. Matthew, Chap.
VII, verses Is.
Respectfully yours,
JOHN w. FINK,
Somers, Wis.

Pretty would not be an adequate ex-
preston for those beautiful and fash

Sublime would be more fitting and
proper when describing them. Behold
in them the blending of refined taste,
an accomplishment wrought by many
years of millinery experience. Hats
that not only look we'll when in the

wear them. The opening will soon be
announced. Wait for it.

MYSTERY is SOLVED.
Ex-RaiIway Official Makes Full Con.
fession in Regard to the Depot
Safe Robbery.
NAME rs NOT MADE PUBLIC

But Police Are Notified That the Mystery
Has Been Solved and no Further Action
Will be Taken in the Matter The Self
Confessed Robber will Not be Prosecuted.
as He Has Promised to Make Good the
Amount Removed From the Safe.
The mystery that surrounded the
robbery of the safe at the Northwest
ern depot a short time ago has been
cleared and it is reported on the best
of authority that one of the former
employees of the company and a man
well known in railway circles has
made full confession of the crime to
several of the officials OF the company
in this city. The man in question is
well known, but the officials of the
Northwestern positively refuse to give
his name to the public at the present
time.
Agent Truax was called on this after
noon and asked to give some inforn1a-
ton in regard to the case, but this he
refused to do, saying that the company
at the present time had positively
nothing to give out. However it has
| leaked out that the man who robbed
the safe and who was recently dropped
from the roll of the company's en-
| p1oyes, went to the Office a short time
ago and made a confession to Thomas
Marx and night operator Rabe. The
man had been under suspicion for some
time, but no efforts were made to cause
his arrest and the company did not
seem inclined to push the case against
him. According to the reports given
out the ex-emp1Oye claimed that he
alone was responsible for the crime.
AS soon as the story was heard down
town the Chief of Police was called on
and he stated that it was true that a
confession had been made to the
officials of the road and that was as far
as he would go. He admitted that no
one else was connected with the crime
and said that it was possible that the
man might be arrested. This confess
sion will remove a stigma of guilt
from several people in the city who
have been accused of being connected
in some manner with the crime.
The young man has agreed to make
good all the loss to the company. 1t is
barely possible, however, that the COM
pany will not accept this settlement
and the story may be given to the
public in an ungarb1ed manner within
the next few days.

Those who are now in the work are
expected to be present. If any one is
not there, he will ever after deeply
feel that one of the best things of his
life was forever lost. We ask every
one to come. Is there a person not in

to attend if possible. Parents and
teachers ought to become acquainted
and learn how to work together. Both

all city and county superintendents

a hundred miles of Racine who does
not think enough of his profession to
be present, let him find another job.
He's dead duck. Those who do not
