The Three Musketeersn will be the
bill at the Opera Hall, Oct. 8, under
the auspices of the Normal Athletic
Club. The staging of this production
is said to be elaborate and no doubt
the credit for this is due to the eflici-
ent stage direction of Mr.. James Har-
rison, the veteran stage manager, who
has been associated in that capacity
with most of the best stars and high
class attractions in this country for
the past forty-seven years Mr.. San
ford Dodge is the star and is support
ed by strong company. The story
of the Musketeers has been read and
enjoyed by nearly every one and the
play is even more interesting.
Mrs. Elinor Slovenian, pioneer
of southeastern Wisconsin, and sister
of Elk Governor Parker OF that state,
arrived in Walla Walla Tuesday
morning to spend the winter with the
editor OF the Argus and family. Since
his return from Rome. last year, Mrs.
Slovenian has resided with her
younger son, DR.. Grant Slovenian,
Latin instructor in Wisconsin univer-
sity, at Madison. She was much
pleased with the grandeur OF the Col
orado mountain scenery through
which she passed, and stopped at Salt
Lake City over Sunday to attend Nor
mon services at the tabernacle. Wal
la Walla wash Argus,
Mrs. Slovenian visited Ex-Govern-
or Parker's family several months
during 1899 and 1900, making many
warm friends among the ladies Of
River Falls.
1t is hoped that the school board
will take advantage OF the law for the
public benefit and arrange for a num-
Der of free lectures the coming winter.
Lectures upon scientific subjects are
popular and profitable. The people
here have but little opportunity for
public entertainments. Occasionally
or oftener an Uncle Toms Cabin
abomination comes along and pockets
too much OF the earnings OF our people
and leaves nothing as compensation
but the offensive odor Of stale chest
nut. Science has attained to wonder
full pretensions, discoveries that the
majority OF people know but little
| about. Here is way by which the
people, all the people, may learn some
thing OF what the schools know
schools Of science. These lectures, as
provided for by the law, are to be free
to the public, special tax to be raised
by the district defrays the expense Of
the lectures. The board can antici-
pate this tax as the district will re-
ceive an unexpected addition to its
exchequer by the increase of the one
mill tax. The district will approve
with unanimity of voice the expendi-
ture of a liberal sum for the presenta-
tion OF a series of these lectures con-
templated by the law.
