The New Columbia Theatre at
the corner of Charles ard Water
street will open on Monday night
for a run" of three months under
the management of w. P. Kenney'
This popular play house has been
dark all season tor the reason that
the circuit OF which 1t Is link has
been broken, and talent could not
have been secured under conditions
that made 1t possible to conduct
the local house. Now, however,
this has all~beeu remedied. and ion
Monday night the curtain will 60
up for a run of three months. The
house has been thoroughly reno
waited, repapered, reprinted and re-
modelled. New scenery has been
specially painted and the house
now is one of the most
cczy vaudeville theatres In
the country. The. patrons of
the Columbia will scarcely recog-
nize the same resort when they en-
ter on. Monday night. Neither
money or pains have been spared to
make 1t pleasant and comfortable.
The same care and energy that
have been expended upon the house
will be exercised In providing the
best possible entertainment for the
pleasure loving people of the COM
munity. The best vaudeville ar
lists on the road have been secured
and the stock company will be an
unusually strong one. The excel
lent reputation of the past will be
preserved as 10 the quality OF the
shows and every effort will be made
to surpass 1t. Every act of the
opening night promises to be a
gem. The company for the first
week Is exceptionally strong the
best ever seen In the city. And
the same high standard will be OBJ
served through the twelve weeks
during which the show will run.
The shows will be clean and en-
tirely free from everything that
would shock the propriety of any
one. Nothing will be permitted
In the least "off color" and every
performance will be as healthy
In sentimant as those seen
In the larger play house
of the city. Mr.. Kenney Is deter
mined that the Columbia shall be-
come a family theater, and to this
end will maintain the same deco
rum and high class of entertain
ment as are found In more preten-
tious theaters. He has spared moth.
ing to make this short run of his
house pleasant and attractive to the
general public, and the success that
has already attended his efforts In
preparing the house for the opening
night Is evidence of the fact that
he will succeed In making the
season one to be long and pleasant
ly remembered by his patrons.
He will be assisted In the man
agement by Mr.. G. K Brown. who
was here recently with a prominent
company, and who has had extend
ed experience In the vaudeville as
we'll as In other lines OF theatrical
work. Mr.. Brown; comes with the
recommendations, and with the de-
termination to give the people Of
Sfstersvllle the full beaeht Of his
long and successful experience to
the end that they may have a sea>
son of pleasure and enjoyment tina:
shall be remembered with pleasure.
A crowded house will doubtless
greet the rising of the curtain on
Monday night, and continue to ap-
plaud the good things prepared by
the management throughout the
entire Cifv

Thursday, January 10, 1902.


Last week the state board of char
tiles and corrections had a meeting
and rescinded its previous action in
the matter Of w. III. Tompkins, the
former superintendent of the state
reform school. The board, when
Tompkins was let out, adopted some
~ery pretty resolutions commencing
the retiring official. Shortly after
Mr.. Young was installed little stories
reached him of wrong doing ON the
part of his predecessor; then grave
and serious charges were made, and
ahe new superintendent brought the
matter before the state board and an
investigation vas begun. In course
of this investigation the hoard was
supplied with affidayits, letters and
ether evidence that makes Tompkins
appear in a very black light. The
board Of charities and corrections
owes a duty either to Mr.. Tompkins
or the people Of the state. The
members should at once begin Grim
inal proceedings. The charges are
too serious to 60 unpublished. If
the charges are u~ntruethen Tompkins
should be reinstated to his former
high place with the people. If the
charges are true then Tompkins is
the personifcation of everything
that is low; he is hardly fit to 90 to
the penitentiary. We can hardly
believe the evidence so far made
public, but the people of this state
insist upon a trial of the accused,
and, if guilt is established, that the
most severe penalty known to the
law be pronounced.

The Argus Leader in commenting
on our article calling upon the next

the oil companies doing business in

that Attorney General Pyle is the
author Of an opinion in which he
hcl3s Tat tie 4 lasvTe II potter
less to pass such a law, ''tbe people
must have the right to buy poor oil
If they so desire" We do not think
Mr.. Pyle made any such sweeping
statement. He probably held that
some certain law was unconstitu-
&i1nal. But even if he did make
such an assertion we do not believe
it would stick in all cases. Other
states have laws governing the quail
ity of oil and until the courts Of the
land have so decided we will not
believe that South Dakota is made a
wonderful exception to the general
rule just to provide adumping place
for the poor oil that is lcgislated
out Of other states. We would ask
The next Legislature to confer with
the attorney general and pass a law
and henexperiment trgingto enforce
its provisions in the courts.

Many Students Have Been

III. E. McKibben, a second year medi-
cal student at the university, was
removed to the quarantine hospital Sat
urday evening, suffering from smallpox,
and every available man on the staff of
Health Commissioner Hall, together
with a squad Of volunteers from the
medical department of the university
are at work today vaccinating the
students.
DR.. Hall purposes to vaccinate every
one Of the 5000 odd students in the
institution, save those who car show
marks of successful vaccination. None
will be spared.
Work was begun yesterday at McKib-
ben's boarding place and at the club at
which he took his meals.
MoKibben comes from Webster, s. ID.
and returned from his vacation COM
planning of feeling ill. A week elapsed
before he consulted a physician and
learned the truth. In the meantime he
had mingled with his fellow students in
classes at the Co-Operative Club, where
he boarded, and elsewhere.
This gives the institution an unusually
serious aspect and warrants the health
department in taking stringent measures
to prevent the spread of the disease in
the university colony.
The law and medical students were
rounded up today. Tomorrow the stu
dents in the other apartments will be
attended to. The vaccination work
thus far shows that a large share of the
students have been vaccinated recently.
