Grand on Thursday night, Nov. %,
when Katharine Willard and Edward
@. Whites well-known company will
present for the first time in DEBORAH
"The Power Behind The Throne"
which has scored an emphatic success
wherever the play has been presented.
It's military cast, thrilling sword
play and numerous chivalric deeds,
have been combined to make this play
one of the very strongest and most
popular stage productions of the
decade. Everything necessary to pro-
duce beautiful and historically correct
pictures is carried by the company,
including the furniture, which was
modelled and built from correct
drawings.

A Just Settlement.

Attorneys and representatives of the

settlement with Herman Moon and
H. Makaben for the loss of loved ones
through carelessness on the part of the
compsny's employees. whereby Moon
receives $4,000 and Makaben "a, 500.
. About two months ago several of
the merchants of Nashua, who buy
their oil of the Standard Oil Co. at
Charles City, were supplied with kero-
sene which was intermixed with gaso-
line. A mistake was made in filling the
big supply tank at Charles City, and
about /, 400 gallons of gasoline was
poured into it. Thinking to offset the
danger, the tank was filed with a
high grade kerosene. This oil was
sold to Nashua merchants, who dealt
it out to their customers. Several
minor accidents occurred and three
fatal ones. Mrs. Herman Moon and
little daughter sacrificed their lives
by the mother using it to re-kindle
the fire. Just as she was placing the
can aside the gas ignited and an ex-
plosion followed. Sophia, the 12-year-
old daughter of H. Mackaben, Nwho
lives west of iowa, opened the stove
door to put some wood in the stove,
and the can, which was setting behind
the stove, exploded. The girl was
fatally burned and died few hours

mencements, Fourth of July and
Decoration Day celebrations, and other
special occasions, and has always been
found to be the right man in the right
place. His years of service on great
daily newspapers, together with q
million miles of travel over the Old
World and che New; his early life
among the Indians: his experience OF
travel and adventure from the palaces
of kings to the underground dens Of
the heather criminals, have all COM
bined to make him a platform enter

Mr.. Beanchamp's lectures are 90
full of humor that he might we'll be
announced as Humorous Lecturer
and Entertainer, but beneath all his
wit and humor are. lessons of supreme
Importance, that uplift and inspire
his audiences. We have never sold a
man or company that has caused
greater enthusiasm, or was more often
wanted for return date. Before all
