made particular provision for it.
Farmers who desire to raise a good
crop Of potatoes next year would do
well to haul out barnyard manure now
and give the ground a good coat of 1t.
Plow it in when spring opens and plant
the potatoes without other fertilizer,

One time a rich farmer said that the
best time to go into stock or grain
was when everybody wanted to quit.
He didn't own all the land that Joined

gathered up and sold everything that

awaited with more eager interest than
Mrs. Sarah Cowell LeMoyne, who will

new and original play. written by
Charles Henry Meltzer. called "The
First Duchess Of Marlborough This
is play dealing with the celebrated
Sarah Jennings. who was the bosom
friend and counselor of Queen Anne
and the dominant power behind the
throne of that weak. contrary and
vain, but amiable. well-meaning mon
arch At the time chosen by the
dramatist. Anne had begun to grow
restless under the domination Of the
Duchess, and taking advantage Of this
decline in the Queens favor. powerful
enemies of the Marlboroughs under
took a scheme for their overthrow.
The plotters were led by the brilliant
Harley, Tory chieftain lately expelled
from power. hut still on terms Of
friendship with the Queen. He had
the assistance Of Abigail Hill, a court
beauty who was jealous and envious
of the Duchess supremacy, though she
was a cousin Of that illustrious woman
and really owed her position at court
to her. These principles enlisted the
aid of the popular but bitter Doctor
Swift. and the argument of the play re-
lates to the moves and counter-moves
of these two parties playing for great
stake and the final triumph OF the
Duchess. This period of English his
tory is extremely interesting, and Mr..
Meltzer has embodied in his play some
of the most dramatic episodes of the
time Mrs. LeMoyne has a character
in which her superb talents are seen
to excellent advantage and a company
has been engaged by Liebler & Co.. in
every way worthy of the star

to furnish a motif for the playwright.
The garb of mystery surrounding the
average lodgeman, has been seized by
these clever playwrights as the basis
for their play. It tellingly strikes of
the foibles. the weaknesses of the
good fellow" the trusting wife. etc.
1t is an epitome Of things that occur
daily throughout the world wherever
this lodge man exists. Its satire is
kindly. its fun effervescent. It is well
worth seeing.

A FITTING MEMORIAL TO
8 PRESIDENT M'kINLEY

The public is especially cautioned
against any enterprise attempting to
make capital out of the sentiments Of
affection which inspired the desire to
rear at the grave of our late President
a memorial which shall fittingly honor
his memory. 1t is the desire of the
trustees that all contributions shall be
the free-will offering of the people, and
they respectfully request the public to
discourage all propositions which may
seem to have as their object the OBJ
tanning of money by giving all or part
of the proceeds to the memorial fund
The public is hereby notified that the
Mckinley National Memorial assoeia-
ton or to any enterprise of a CONNER.
cial nature.
After conference at this meeting
with the representatives of the William
Mckinley Memorial Arch association
of Washington, the following resolu-
ton was adopted:
Resolved, That it be the sense of the
trustees of the McKiple- nIemorial as
ISOLATION that the field of popular sub
scription should be left to it for raising
the sum necessary to provide a suit
able memorial to the late President at
Canton, where his body lies; and that
this association should join with the
William Mckinley Memorial Arch as
sociation of Washington in memorial
izing Congress to erect a national me-
mortal at the Capitol of our country
to commemorate his services to the
nation.
The Arch association asquiesced in
this resolution and has properly ceased
to solicit popular subscriptions, leaving
the field to the Mckinley National Me-
mortal association, through which the
people of the United States will build
a memorial of affection at the last rest
ing place of their beloved President,
William Mckinley.
The officers and trustees of the Nc
Kinley National Memorial association
are:

Information from authentic source
among the politicians has been secuf-
ed in Des Moines, to the erect that
there is well defined plan for redls-
tricting the state, which has received
the sanction of the leaders OF strong
party in the Legislature. Maps show
ing this new plan have been drafted
and these have been seen by certain
politicians. Information on the point
has not been widely disseminated, as
yet because the alignment of votes IN
the legislature for the projected re-
appcrtionment is being gathered IN
slowly and carefully and under
pledges of practical silence, until the
reapportionment bill is sprung.
