 No one could make Maier Kaiser be- lieve that the jokers who ransacked his house the other night were anything but relic hunters until he found that they had carried off gold pen and put acid on several knives and forks to see whether they were the real stuff or not. He didn't discover that until long after the burglary. The only things missed 10 him were a set of cuff buttons and a thimble. These were heirlooms in the family and on this account MT Kaiser was inclined to believe that the thieves wanted nothing but articles that had history. He has since changed his mind and now hopes that the dare devils will be arrested and punished.

 Co G's Mischianza has booked more attractions which will go a long way toward making the weeks entertain ment successful.

By the way. no books will be sold at the fair and the pleasure of none of Co G's guests dur ing the week will be marred by re- quests to purchase books. Another at- traction to which much attention is being devoted by the Miscn.anza man. angement is the drills by the Training school cadets. The cadets number twenty young ladies, artistically uni- formed and carrying guns. They have already reached a high state of pro- hciency. Faulman's orchestra has been secured by the management to provide music for the entire week.
