1.-THE FAST MAIL"
Lincoln J. Carriers Superb MelO-
drama to Be Presented Here.

A production of unusual magni
tude will be given at Holland
Opera House next Saturday even.
ing. Lincoln J. Carter's superb
melodrsma, 1.-The fast mail, as it's
name indicates, deals largely with
the railroad in its incidents, but it
presents, an abundance of effects
that are daring in their magnitude

ly mechanical work and the rail.
road scene, with its trains going at
a terrific rate Of speed, makes the
stage seem like piece of realty.
The Niagara Falls scene is wender-
fully beautiful, and, it may safely be
said, is more elaborate than any
thing Of the kind ever before at
tempted in this city. There are a
multitude of minor effects that con-
tribute to make the performance a
revelation of realism. The whistles.
bells and splashing are heard as
the boat leaves the wharf. The
sounds that tell us of an approach-
ing train herald the approach Of
the freight and fast mail trains
the latter rushing by with people
gazing at the heroine who has just
saved her lovers life by fastening
a letter to the mail pouch. The
roaring of Niagara Falls is heard
and the mist that rises from it il
shown wildly. The play is start
ling at times in the intensity of its
climaxes, and these when present
ed with all the effects OF the intrI
cate stage settings bring the in
terest to a degree that is rarely at
Itained even in the melodrama. A
large number of people are employ
ed in the production, which is il
many particulars plainly the result
Of care and skill combined.

BALDHEADED CLUB.
Business Session Closing With
a Literary Treat.
Learned and Scientific Essay on
Turnip Greens BY Col.
Ira Smith.

enced in getting down to business.
Col. Geo. e. Randle brought IN
the petition of Mr.. M. c. Forbes,
who asked to be admitted at once
into the charmed circle of the Bald
headed Club. BY invitation Mr..
Forbes was invited into the room
and in order to show his faith by
his works, proudly exhibited
small bald spot on the back of his
head and promised to dispense with
the use of hair as rapidly as pos
sible.
"Of course, you know, said he
"that can't claim to be as bald as
Col. Mckee, but my intentions are
good and hope some day to wear
my hair lambrequiu style, like
Coils. Mckee, Claggett, Kelly
Tibbs, Randle and other 33rd de-
gree members.
Mr.. Forbes talk impressed the
club so favorably that he was ad-
mitted on his own statement and
raised to full fellowship. He had
hardly warmed his seat in the club
room before he arose and moved the
appointment of a committee from
the club to go to Louisville and try
to get freight rates lowe-ca.
President Cooper named as the
committee Coils. M. c. Forbes, L.
H. Mckee and E. B. Bassett and
on motion the chair was added to
the committee. The delegation was
instructed to start to Louisville the
next day.
President Cooper next announced
that he had prepared a special
treat for the members present. 1t
had been said by some censorious
critics that the Baldheaded club
was an aggregation without Dig
nifty or the ability to be serious.
That it was disposed to look upon
the ridiculous side of every ques-
ton brought up. He said the club
had Just taken important business
action in regard to a matter
affecting the welfare of Hopkins
vile and now he had in store a
learned and profound essay on
subject too serious and prosaic tol
be lightly treated. l will now pre-
sent to you, he continued, one of our
most distinguished members, Col.
Ira L. Smith, who has kindly con-
scented to read an essay on "Turnip
Greens.
Col. Smith was received with a
round OF applause, as he advanced
to the front of the room, with a roll
of manuscript under his arm. His
manner was easy and graceful and
his delivery was altogether pleas
ing. He was given undivided at
tention while he read the following
treatise:

Pope,
In that soft season when descending showers

standing as we are at the very
threshold of spring. Aside from the
princely fortunes the marketmen
are making by selling turuip
greens at twenty cents a peck, a
great deal can be gotten out of this
humble product of the soil, that

being the first harbinger of spring.

from turnips and represent the
earliest growth OF spring, a growth
that is too green to stay IN until
winter is over. but comes out and

scientists and chemists have never
been able to agree why the turnip

can best serve after it crowds the

some astounding conclusions, and

NEW BOARD OF CONTROL.
Said That Members of Commission May
Be Promoted if Bill Passes.

st. Paul, March 1.-Since the com
mission appointed by Governor Van
SAINT to report on the board of control
! system and its workings in other
states has returned and made its re-
port. it has dawned on the minds of
statesmen around the capitol that the
three gentlemen who composed that
commission would make an excellent
board of control. 1t is whispered about
that if the bill goes through, the ap-
pointments will be rendered to the
same three.
The bill requires the board to be bi-
partisan. w. E. Lee and G. A. Morey,
two of the commissioners, are Republi-
cans The other member, ex-senator
S. w. Leavitt of Litchfeld, is a Demo
crat. All three are men of high char
acter and reputation, of acknowledged
business ability, and all have had ex-
perience in state affairs. Mr.. Morey
is a member of the normal school
board. Mr. Leavitt has served in the
state senate, and Mr.. Lee has been
speaker for the house of representatives.
Friends of the three declare that
none of them could afford to give his
entire time to the state for So, 900 a
year All are prosperous men OF
affairs. They gave a week OF their
time without expense to the state, ex-
cept their actual travelling expenses,
but they could not afford to be SC
patriotic as to leave private business
entirely and serve the state for term
of years.
Fl. w. Childs, the former attorney
general, will be one of the appointees
on the tax commission. Rumor says
that the other two will be G. S. Jelley
of MINNEAPOLIS and A. G. Volstead OF
Granite Falls. 1t was given out last
Saturday that the three men had been
! selected. 1t is suspected that this
was done for the purpose of relieving
pressure on the governor and auditor
