The Cid Homestead

1.-THE Old Homestead" will be pro-
duced for the first time in Alma, next
Thursday and Friday nights. 1t is al
most unnecessary to say anything re-
garding this play as almost everyone has
heard of it, for il is the only play ex-
cept "UnCle Toms Cabin" that the
ministers OF the country have advised
their people to go and see. 1t teaches a
lesson in temperance far better than
"Ten Nights in "A Bar Room" or any
other so-called temperance drama. a
great many people have expressed their
doubts To the RECORD of it being pos
sible to produce this play in Alma, but
Mr.. Whitford gives strong assurance
that 1t will be given just the same as in
the large cities with the exception OF
special scenery, although some VIII be
used here; a very beautiful allegory
being given as the end Of the first act.
IL has often been said that it is hard
to say where to draw the line between
an amateur and professional, and
the cast for THE Old Homestead is
composed of the very best talent that
Alma possesses, all having played in so
many amateur entertainments that they
are better than many so-called profes
sional actors and actresses.
The characters in this play are taken
from real life, as Denman Thompson,
the author, went from New York City
70 the hills OF New Hampshire 10 study
the people as they were in their daily
life, and the result has been a play so
strong, yet simple that you laugh one
minute and cry the next. Some of the
characters are living, breathing reali-
ties today, especially old Cy Prime who
lives today in Swansea, y. H., and who
could always prove all of his big stories
"if old Bill Jones was alive" At an
extra expense Mr.. Whitford has secured
the Alma orchestra of fifteen pieces,
which has recently been reorganized,
and promises the people of Alma gen
uine musical treat. A special invita-
tion is extended to all church people to
attend this entertainment Although
the cost of producing this play is double
that of any amateur entertainment ever
given III Alma, the prices Will remain
as usual, 20 and 30 cents. Reserved seats

WILL HAVE NEW HALL
Proposition Carried by Good
Majority.
ONLY A FEW OLD FOGIES.

The village election passed off very
quietly last Monday the only interest
manifested being in the vote to bond
the village for new hall. 1t was
feared by many that the proposition
would be defeated as it required two
thirds majority of all votes cast, and
early in the morning few old fogies
with antiquated ideas began to talk
against it. Upon learning such was
being done, the fire boys proceeded to
get hustle on them and the result was
fairly representative vote and the
lovers Of the bucket and ladder method
of fighting fire were compelled TO retire
10 their humble abodes and grumble
about taxation, progressiveness and life
in general. The result of the vote is
gratifying TO those who are working for
the interests of the town in the future
days as well as the present, as out of
327 votes cast 279 were in favor and
only Al against the proposition, four
votes being thrown out as illegal.
The next matter TO consider is the
site, and as usual in such cases
different ones favor different locations
From what we have been able TO learn
however, the majority of the people
favor building where the excavation Is
ON Superior. just east of the Schwartz
Furnace Co. s foundry, or on the oppo-
site side of the street If built where
the old hole is, the excavation is now
done and it would result in building
up that portion of the town, for the
reason that the opposite side Of the
street then would be an excellent loca-
ton for business block.

FORTY LIVES
LOST IN WEST

Portland, Ore, Sept. 16.-Forty lives
have been lost and it is estimated
that $1,00O,0O0 worth Of property has
been destroyed by forest fires in Ore
gon and Washington. Many people
are missing, but it will not be known
how many are dead until the reports
from the remote districts come in.
The estimate of property loss does
not include the standing timber, but
simply covers small mills, houses,
barns, shops, cordwood and farm i'm
plements. Thousands of acres of tim
Der have been burned over, but the
destruction of great timber has not
been heavy. Relief is being hurried
from Portland, Tacoma, Seattle and
Vancouver to those who have lost
their homes and crops. The districts
where the greatest destruction oc-
Cured are Lents, Springwater and
Bridal Veil in Oregon, and Load
River and Emla in Washington.
In all places it is estimated that there
are about 500 people without food and
shelter. The fires have nearly burned
out, the sun being visible most of the
time yesterday.

vatican has received from President
Roosevelt an intimation that he would

bishop Ireland created a cardinal as .
reward for the services he has rem

strongly doubt the correctness of the
rumor, for it does not seem possible

A harmony committee was out some
time to make Columbia county keep
the pledge of four years ago and give
the nomination to Sank, but to no
avail. w. c. Leitsch of Portage was
chairman and Thomas Hill of Spring
Green, secretary. Wylie leans in sym
pathy toward the administration, but
is said to favor the reelection of Sena-
tor Spooner. The reason for the re-
fusal to keep the pledge Of four years
ago was the fact that Bentley is All
out-and-out stalwart, while Wylie is
a La Toilette sympathizer. w. G.
BisseI of Lodi was the last senator
from this district.

MINE HORROR
IN WEST VIRGINIA

Northfork, w. Va, Sept. 16.--A gas
and powder explosion occurred in the
Big Four mine of the Algoma coal and
coke company here yesterday and as a
result James Lester, Engineer John
Reccie, a Hungarian miner and Is
colored miners persisted in the mine.
The gas and smoke were so thick
that all rescuing parties were
driven back. The explosion is
said to have been caused
by gas catching fire from the lamp of
miner. This in turn fired six kegs
of blasting powder stored back in the
mine. The explosion knocked all the
brattices for a quarter of a mile back
towards the mine entrance, thus cut
ting out all air from the men behind
the debris.
