present the people.
Schuler Bros. are pushing
work on the steel bridge, these
fine days. The bridge will
stand foot or more above the
street, so there will be a good
deal of grading on the Wahpe
ton side, and a whole lot more
grading on the Breckenridge
! side. But it will be a dandy

The Emmanuel &c m a 7,
Evangelical Lutheran congre-
cation has bought the First
Baptist church property, on the
corner just north of the court
i house. This is certainly one of
the finest vacant lots or build
ing spots in the city, and will
make an ideal church property.
1t is the purpose of the Luther
All congregation to remodel the
building inside and out and
build a parsonage, possibly this
year. These people are to be
congratulated on getting such
good position, and the city is to
be congratulated on the i'm
provement contemplated.

Mayo, John Mccullough, and
Sir Henry Irving in his new
farce "what did Tomkins do:"

is about the cleverest vaude-

was the gem of the pie c e
What did Tomkins do?' con-
tains a number Of delicious
morsels, and much bright ori-
ginal stuff. Itgives Mr.. Clarke
some rare, choice opportunities
in the part of the gay old widow
er with the good heart. Mr..
Clarke's impersonations were
done to the life, and his quick
change of makeup for the great
Englishman in trout of the
house was a novelty that was
appreciated. In Col. Tomkins
he has character that gave
plenty of entertaining work,
which he does in an exceeding
ly clever way. Mr.. Clarke was
heartily received and his piece
made favorable impression
and compares favorably with
the seasons best farce offerings.
The supporting company was
of a good standard. and the
women were attractive, we'll
dressed, and read their lines
we'll. Will be in Wahpeton,
