gotten out of "rhe Wrong Mr..

without dropping the interest before
he nnravels the tangIe that is made
by Harry Beresford as "Seymour
Sites" with the able assistance of III
Coleman's competent Company Of
players. and all who attend the opera
house November Is are promised fun
OF the most charming kind, without a
tinge OF 'vulgarity and without the
ialntest approximation of the obscene.
"rhe Wrong Mr.. Wright" is now tour.

Der Z, 1899, said: "In spite of it's
semi.English atmosphere, The Wrong
Mr.. Wright won hands down. and
when after repeated and enthusiastic
calls for the author, Mr.. Broadburst
appeared, he was cheered to the echo.
There was not dissenting voice in

occurrence for first night"

such as n pretty girl asks of the MAN

the greatest production of comic

most gorgeous ever seen here.
Nothing like this has ever before

Water Company Improvements.

The Yakima Water, Light 4 Power
company is making some extensive i'm
provements at their plant one mile west
of the city. The most important of these
Improvements is the placing of a 500
horse power compound Corliss engine
and also 500 horse power turbine, thus
giving the company 1000 horse power
machinery. The new engine is being
placed at the northeast corner OF the pres
ent building and after it is put in place
brick addition will be built around it.
The shafting in the whole plant will be
put on the floor SO as to get direct con-
nection with the dynamo, thus saving
10 per cent in power. The ditch for one
mile from the reservoir will be cemented
SO as to obyiate the possibility of any
break in the main feeder OF the reser-
voir. These improvements are made
necessary by the increased demand for
light and will cost in the neighborhood
of SIS 200.

A very important thing is the way
the milk goes into the child's stomach.
The bottles are SO constructed that the
milk goes down too fast. Every child
who sucks at the breast has to work
for what 1t gets. One of the great
troubles In artificial feeding is, the
milk is cascaded into the stomach and
Immediately cascaded back again. The
most OF the sick babies are made so by
som prepared stun being cascaded
into their stomachs In enormous guam
titles. Quantity is a great element In
these disorders. and / have known toe
much food to make babies sick. ever
where the food was fresh milk. l gen.
orally tell the mothers to put a piece
of pure. clean sponge into the nipple,
so that the child must work with its
gums and lips to draw the milk. thus
obviate the too rapid flow.

Near Roanoke. ILL.,, near the center
OF the state. there is a school teacher
whose ingenuity might not please all
of his pupils-that Is, the indolent
ones. f. N. Wheelwright teaches a
district school. and in a district school,
you know-or perhaps some city chill
dren do not know-the teacher has to
ring the bell and build the fire and
sweep the floor. unless he pays some
ambitious boy to do 1t for him. But
this teacher does not have to hire a
boy to ring the bell, nor does he ring
1t himself, yet, no matter what he may
be doing at 8 o'clock in the morning.
the bell sets up a chatter that no boy
or girl can escape. MI. Wheelwright
has arranged a clock which at the
proper hour sets in motion an electric
apparatus that puts the bell to ringing.
The boys Of that district have no longer
any hope that the teacher will be SO
engrosed in some task that he will for
get to call school. The bell rings also
at 10:45 a. m, l p. m, 2:30 D. m. and
at 4 O'Clock.
