Chase Lister Theatre Co.

The Chase Lister Theatre Co. comes
to the Opera house for a weeks en-
gagement beginning Jan. 9Th. The
following very complimentary press
notice is taken from the State Jour-
nal, Lincoln, Neb., under date of Oct
l, 1901:
"The well-known Oh se Lister reper-
toire company settled down to a
weeks business at the Funke last even
ing. The old opera house was un-
comfortably crowded, the popularity
of the organization operating to pro-
duce that result. The play offered
was 1.-The Senator's Daughter. -" It is
founded on good plot and of con-
siderable strength in the principal sit
uations. The company in the main
is much stronger one than in pre-
vious years. There is deal more
finish and much less rough edges than
we find in the majority of repertoire
companies. AS matter of ordinary
justice the cast deserves kind words.
Specialties of an entertaining order
were offered by Clint and Bessie Rob-
bins very good), Edwin Kraft and
Madge Daley, and Ernest F. Robin
son in coon songs.

Test Is Misleading.

EDITOR TRIBUNE:-I wish to say q
few words in regard to paying for
milk at creameries. It seems to me
that the paying per pound for butter
fat is coming to this, that the man
who has the nerve to cut the test the
lowest will pay the most per pound
for butter fat. I don't say all butter
makers or secretaries do manipulate
the test, but do say I think it is done
a great deal. At this creamery we
have been paying from four to eight
cents more per 100 pounds of milk than
neighboring creameries, while we have
been paying all about the same price
for butter fat. With the average pa
iron think it is misleading Ito pay
per pound butter tat, as he will not or
does not figure what he gets per hun
dred for his milk.

METHOD OF ENTRY
IS A MYSTERY
The Store Has Been Entered Five
Times in Two Years-Losses
About $500.

Systematic robbery of money In the

is being investigated by the police with
little hope of ascertaining the identity.
o. the guilty person or persons. When
Mr. King entered the store yesterday
morning at s o'clock he was confront
ed by several evidences of the pres
ence of burglars the night before The
desk till, a combination affair used for
writing and containing a till for
change, was found to have been brok-
en- into. The lid had been raised and
4 the woodwork forming grooves for the
till had been wrenched off so that a
square board resting just over the till
could be broken off This gave free
access to the till pockets. The sum of
$3.50 in various denominations had been
stolen. Nothing but coin was kept In
the till, and as far as Mr.. King had
been able to ascertain no papers We're
disturbed
Behind the bookkeeper's desk and
close to rear window the safe stands.
This also had been opened. The bur
glar evidently knows the workings of
the office and has the key to the COM
bination, for it was by this means the
safe had been opened. Mr.. King dis
tinctly remembers having closed the
safe as usual upon shutting up the
store and the bolts had shot into their
places all right. The door yesterday
morning had evidently been pushed
back but owing to the presence of a
small pin which had fallen down upon
one of the door sils after being opened
by the burglar, the heavy steel door
would not close. The bolt, however
had been shot and the combination
turned. This done the bolt could not
be turned back, and the burglar evil
IDENTIFY believed that further attempt &c
cover his tracks would be useless, and
left the door in this position.
No money had been left in the safe
box and it contained only diamond
pin left there for safety by relative
of Mr.. King. In scraping his hant
around the box for money, the burglar
in some way scraped the pin out and i
fell on the safe door sill. preventin:
the door from being closed tight
This is the fifth time the Kin'
Brothers establishment has been rob
bed in a period covering about tw
= years. In that time about $500 hav
been stolen. One raid gave the bur
: glars about $500 cash and since the
: the proprietors have not left an
7 quantity of money in the store over

7 er each of the previous thefts but tn
! police We're unable in any instance {
