LEAST LiNNE.n

Last Wednesday evening, East Lynne,
one of the greatest plays ever built on
emotional lines, was gwen at the opera
house. 1t has been given here many
times before, but never better than on
the above evening. The leading char
acters were taken by Miss Inez Forman,
as Lady Isabel and j. f. Crosby, as
Archibald Carlisle; both were excellent
and captivated the audience from the
start. One of the best parts in
the drama, was that of Miss Cornelia
Carlisle" which was taken by f Roena
Medini, but who was known as frankie
e. Miller in her girlhood days which
were spent in Wausau. She is a sister
of Mrs. Walter Armstrong of this city
and is very clever actress.
The opera house was well filed and
all were satisfied that East Lynne was
a drama that could always be enjoyed,
no matter how often one had seen it
played. There was some disappoint-
ment at not seeing the play EN- bellished
with the oompany's own scenery, but it
was explained during the evening that
it had been necessary to send it in to
Chicago to have it repaired and
touched up.

NEWSPAPER CHANGE

E. S. Bailey, late city editor of the
Waus au Central Wisconsin, has decid
ed to enter the journalist field in Marsh
field, and this week purchased John II.
Whites interest in The Times. The
transfer was made yesterday and here
after the firm name will be Williams &
Bailey. 1t is understood Mr.. White
will again take up the life insurance
business in which he made decided
success two years ago. He has the
best wishes - his friends whatever his
future undertaking may be.
Mr. Bailey does not come to Marsh
field as stranger. He already has
scores of friends here from the fact
of his frequent visits during the several
years he was in the mercantile business
ut Vesper He is bright, capable
young man and will doubtless prove
a valuable acquisition to The Times
editorial force. The News extends to
Mr. Bailey cordial welcome.
1t is generally understood that in
politics the Times will now take stand
for the so-called Stalwart side of the re-
publican party as against the LaFol-
lette wing. Up to this time the paper
has remained silent on this point for
the reason that the former editors
leaned in opposite dircctions-M Marsh

Delaney and Geo. Neu, has been dele
gated to visit the different county
asylums of the state, and get pointers
for their own county's benefit They
were conducted through our institution
by Supt. Head, and were given an in
sight into all thedetaiIs, and suggestions
were also made MS to where improve.
ments could be made. The committee
had visited three other like institutions
before coming here, but found the
Marathon county building finer and
better conducted one than any of the
other three. The gentlemen were given
a ride about town, and as it was TIE
first visit of nearly all of them to this
city, they of course, like all visitors, re-
marked of its beauty, They departed
that same day to make further investi-

One day early last week when ,he
county board was in session, Manley
Thorn, chairman of the town of Easton,
asked several of his fellow board mem

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The High School opened Monday,
January 9th, with nearly all the
scholars present. Mr.. c. G. Parlin
hoped that the pupils would do as good
work in the new year as in the past.
He said that much depended upon the
work done in the next few weeks.
The speech for Tuesday afternoon
was given by C. c. Parlin. He gave
the substance of the address delivered
by Booker I. Washington at the meet
ing of the State Teachers Association
in Milwaukee.
Mr.. Hambrecht, Superintendent of
schools at Grand Rapids, was the
speaker for Thursday. The beauty of
Lake Geneva, the fashionable summer
resort was fully described by him. He
did not approve of the aristocratic man.
ners assumed by some Chicago visitors
at the resort for they appeared to him
as being in striking contrast with the
republican ideas of this country.
As Mr. Hambrecht did not fully oc-
eapy the time allotted to him, Mr. G.. d..
Jones was called upon to say some
thing. He began in humorous way to
describe some of the practical jokes
played by some university students.
BY many, such jokers are regarded as
heroes but, as Mr. Jones said. few of
them grow up to become able and hon-
orable men.
During the last week the High School
has been visited by the Board Of Educa.
ton of Grand Rapids. A new High
School is to be built in that city and the
object of the visit was to get new ideas
SO that they can apply them to their
future school building.

Chicago, Oct. 30.-Plans for a school for
ambitious novelists, where would be taught
the use of foils and pistols in a tragic
climax, the proper method Of holding the
fatnting heroine, and appropriate means
Of arranging a successful balcony scene"
were outlined by Professor Oscar l.. Triggs
in an address before the literary depart
nlent of the Chicago Woman's club. To
raise the standard of present day htera-
ture Professor Triggs said nothing was
better than school Of literature, which,
he said, he had often longed to establish.
This school I have in mind said Pro-
lessor Triggs, would be for the purpose
Of giving a thorough training in author
ship. It would be professional school,
built on plans exactly like other schools
representing the different professions.
There would be several departments in
this school, each department to be con-
Quoted by specialists in their particular
line of work. These departments would
comprise poetry, prose, criticism, Journal
ism and publication. Every detail of lit
erature and the making of a novel would be
specialized. There would be special in
structors for the development of plot, ex-
perienced instructors in love scenes, and,
for the benefit of the historical novelist
there would be special instruction in fenc-
ing. would also add dramatic art to the
list Of departments ...e & -

The commission arrived at Forest City
1T ii o'clock. A small crowd. among them
some mine workers. were at the station
10 see the arbitrator. Carriages were i'm
mediately entered and the party was driven
three quarters Of a mile to No. shaft
of the Hillside Coal and Iron company,
which is operated by the Erie Railway
company. The depth Of the mine Is 40
feet This operation Is said to be one Of
the best In the upper region, and was
selected by the operators. The mine
workers representative will also select a
colliery for the inspection Of the COM
missioners.
"pown In a Coal Nine"
The party left the carriages some dis
fanoe from the shaft and was taken to
the engine-room at the shaft In the mine
carriage. Judge Gray Bishop Spalding
and the others donned overalls. jumpers
and miners caps, some of the party car
rying miners lamps in their hands, while
the others had them fastened to their
caps. The descent was made at II o'clock.
There were about 500 men and boys at
work in the mine when the party was
lowered into the workings.
About an hour before the commission
ers arrived at the shaft Hungarian was
killed by fall of the roof in the Clifford
mine, which adjoins the one the commits
Bioners inspected. His body was doubled
up under the fall and his lamp failing to
20 out, set fire to his clothing and prac-
tically roasted him.
1t was 2:10 p. m. when the commission
ers came to the surface. During the two
hours spent underground. thorough in
Bpection was made. The commissioners
were taken about mile from the foot Of
the shaft and also went into the Clifford
mine which adjoins number 2 shaft. The
arbitrators were greatly interested in the
blasting Of coal by the miners. The work.
men were asked many questions by differ
ent members of the commission as to their
age. character Of work, rate of wages, etc.
While going along the main gangway
the mine car in which Judge Gray, Gener-
al Wilson and Messrs. Clark and Parker
were riding left the track slightly jostled

track by the miners After the party
came to the surface an inspection of the
outside buildings was made.

SENIOR CONCHA FESTIVE:
The Delay on the Isthmus Worries
the Colombian Minister in s
49,
Washington. &:

Washington, Oct. so.-1t developed to-.
day that Senior Concha, the Colombian
minister, is growing FESTIVE under the:
delay. His government has as yet given
him no further instructions in answer to
his dispatch regarding the condi-
lions which have arisen since the
forwarding Of the letter directing him
to. proceed with the negotiations for a
treaty with the United States affecting
the right of way for the Panama canal.
He has sent several requests for this in
formation without avail" > l-'s.ttsSts
The legation officials, however, believe
that the dispatch of Secretary Hay to
Minister Hart, sent on Tuesday, will have
the effect Of accelerating matters. and that
an early adjustment Of the pending ques-
lions which are delaying final action on
the treaty may be looked for.
Much Of the delay has been occasioned.
SO it is learned, by the attitude Of Gov
ernor Salazar of Panama, who has been
writing numerous letters to the legation
here, and these more or less influenced
Mr. Concha in postponing action on his
instructions to proceed with the negotia-
ton of the treaty.

KRUGER'S MEMOIRS
Caustic Opinions Of Some Of His
ENGLISH Friends.

London, Oct. 3o.-A second installment
Of extracts from the kruger Memoirs
Is published.
A striking feature is revelation Of the
jealousies which existed before the war
between the inhabitants of the Transvaal
and the Orange Free State and the Cape
Colony Beers, which prevented anything
like a satisfactory mutual understanding.
Mr.. Kruger takes pains to prove that he
did his utmost to smooth matters over
and prevent the war, but the Beers in
born antipathy to foreign interference
proved to be too strong for him.
The ex-president was once invited to
meet Sir Bartle Frere. He replied that
he would be quite willing to do so if he
were told which Frere it was. He de-
clared that he knew four F'reres, and
explained this remark by describing diff
ferent aspects of Sir Bartle Frere's char
acter, as presented by blue books, ETC.,
saying some of his characteristics were
friendly, while others were inimical to
the Beers.
Mr.. Kruger describes the "Jesuitical'
Cecil Rrodes as the Course of South
Africa" He says:
mo matter how base or contemplate,
be it lying, bribery or treachery, all and
every means were welcome to him.
Lord Miner he describes as "a typical
judge autocratic beyond endurance
rotary Chamberlain was undoubtedly the
late Cecil Rhodes accomplish in the
Jameson raid, and that Mr.. Chamberlain
appointed Lord Miner British high COM
missioner of South Africa with the direct
intention of driving matters to extremes.
This tool Of Mr.. Chamberlain" says
Mr.. Kruger, carried out his mission
faithfully and turned South Africa into a
Wilderness
British policy in general, the former
president of the Transvaal sums In the
following sentences:
Lies, treachery, intrigues and secret
Investigations against the governments
Of the republics-these have always been
the distinguishing marks of English pol
tics"
Mr.. Kruger declares that the Trans
vaal national union was under Cecil
Rhodes paramount influence from its
very inception, and describes it as hay
ing, from the very outset, used the de-
| mand for the franchise as cloak for
designs against the republic.
