The Deutsche Theatre.

------------
The performance at the opera
house last Sunday night by the
Henry MesSer German Theatre
club was largely attended, indeed
it may safely be said that it was
the largest audience that ever at
tended any performance in Sinner
The reserved seats we're all taken,
and the balance of The seats we're
occupied up to tile rear of the large
hall. The performance began
shortly after 8 O'clock with the
laughable farce comedy called
Seitenfritze, oder B,aue Augen, in
which Mr.. Messer appeared as.
Sieienfritz, aud kept the audience
in roar Of laughter nil the lime
he was on the stage. Mrs. Messer
AS Ricke, the whiting maid, WAS
good, as she always is, with every
thing she undertakes. The other
characters were well portrayed by
Messrs. G. 1. Jaeggli aud Fritz
Berckenhoff. Mrs. Fritz Bercken-
hott, as Lola, also gave good per-
formunce. The little comedy In
one act entitled, I'm Wartesalon
srster Klasse," was we'll rendered
by Mr.. and Mrs. Messer. In this
play Mrs. Messer was especially
good. She portrayed the part Of
Elise, in a neat and artistic manner
and. at no time did she overact or
depart from nature. We think
this the most interesting and best
Of the three plays.
The concluding play, Herr and
Frau Schweppermann, employed a
larger cast than The others, and
here again Mrs. Messer gave good
performance of Frau schwepper-
mann, a very laxative old lady.
Mr.. Messer, as Herr Schwepper-
mann did not have very mach to
do in this piece. but he was ex-
tremely funny and caused much
laughter, both 10y h : make up and
acting. Mr.. G. |. Jarggli AS Oscar
| Roemer looked an acted his part
we'll, as he ALWAYS does
Miss Emma Stephan as Rosa did
exceedingly we'd Eor v inst APPEAR
ance.
Miss ida Helmer- as Clara has
cause to he proudfui her success, as
she is being complimentsd on all
sides for her natural acting. Mrs
| Il. Berckenhoff and Miss Lizzie
Wentdland had minor parts in this
play, but did them we'll. Mr.,
Adolph Blohm rs the bashfui man
acted we'll, and had a comicAl
makeup, which created much
laughter.
Taken all in all, this perform
ance was one of the best yet given
by our German amateurs. The
lgross receipts looted up the neat
sum of $115 90,
A ball was given after the perform
ance, which lasted until o'clock.

FRENCH ACTION LIKELY TO BE
SIGNAL FOR A GENERAL
ONSLAUGHT.
TURKS PROMISES UNfULfILLtD
The French Ambassador Leaves
ConstantlnOple in HUFF May
Result in DiHxO1utiOn of the Con-
cert of the Powers Under Which
the Integrity of Turkey Was
Claims

Washington, Aug. 29.-It is feared in
official circles that the withdrawal of
the French ambassador from Constan-
tinople marks the dissolution of the
concert of European powers under
which the integrity of Turkey was
guaranteed. By the treaty of Berlin all
the great powers of Europe subscribed
to an agreement to refrain from any
act that would tend to the destruction
of the Ottoman empire.
This action was taken to forestall
what were conceived to be the designs
of Russia to seize on Turkish territory,
and Russia herself was led to subscribe
to the agreement by force Of circum-
stances. Although several times Sc
verely strained, notably by such events
as the last war between Turkey and
Greece, this pact has so far endured
without amendment, but it is appre-
hended now that if the action of France
is carried out to the extreme indicated
in the disptches, each of the other sig
nator powers will feel obliged in self
protection to disregard the agreement,
and press upon Turkey the vast finan-
cial and other claims that have ac-
cumulat ted in the past quarter of a CEN
fury, with the result of disrupting the
present Turkish government.

In 1900 the Minnesota State fair Sc
cured the national exhibit Of the Ameri-

with the other animals shown set forth
the largest livestock display ever made.
In Chicago last fall the Minnesota eX-

pie. with large accessions from many
other classes of breeders. The result
will be such a gathering together Of

LITTLE ONES UNITE.
Southern Minnesota Millers Combine
to Handle Export Trade.

southern minnesota MtlleFN Combine
to Handle Export Trade.
Southern Minnesota millers have
formed a combination to compete with
the big milling concerns Of the world.
and especially the big mills of the West,
for foreign trade. The combination is
to be known as the Export Transporta-
ton company, with headquarters in
Minneapolis and resident manager In
Chicago.
The smaller mills have been forced to
be content, as a general thing, with
what trade they were able to find in
their immediate territory. Now and
then there has been a mill that by per-
sistence and advertising has been able
to push its bronds beyond it's immedi-
ate district. Wherever the small mill
could secure enough home trade to keep
the plant profitably employed, 1t has
been content to allow conditions to re-
main as they were. But the big mills
have been cutting into the local trade
more and competition has grown keener
at home as result Of the increase In
the number of mills, which has had the
immediate result of reducing the terri
tory in which any one mill could So
licit trade profitably. If the small mills
are to keep on the dividend list they
must find more trade and to secure that
they must become exporters Of flour.
In soliciting export business, the
small miller complains of two obsta-
cles. One is that he has been unable to
secure rate that will allow him to
compete with the large manufacturer,
and again he is unable to furnish the
big quantities sometimes desired. To
overcome this combination of the
small manufacturers has been neces-
sary.
The new company includes some Of
the best mills in Southern Minnesota.
It is also the intention of the pro-
