"THELMA. /"

"Thelma," which will be presented by
Alden Benedict's excellent company at
the Grand Opera House on Monday
night. Aug. 4, is a romantic drama taken
from Marie Corelli's story. The first,
second and fourth act take place 10
Norway, the third in London. The
scenic features are out of the ordinary
and the play follows the book closely
enough to satisfy the readers of the
Corelli story. After marrying Thelma,
Errington takes her to his London home,
where Lady Winsleigh proceeds to de-
stroy her faith in her husband. 1t takes
good deal of persistence on her lady
ships part and she has to stand the
disappearing Kisses of the audience.
but she finally succeeds in driving
Thelma back to Norway by means of a
letter Errington had written to bur
lesque actress. Lady Winsleigh's efforts
are entirely in behalf of her own affec-
ton for Errington aud are altogether
wasted. Errngton is innocent of any
thing like unfaithfuiness to TLelma,
but appearances are against him and
the designing woman readily makes
them appear to convict him.
Errington follows Thelma to Norway
and the last act is the most spectacular
of the four, 1t shows the Alten Fjord
and the RAINBOW bridge in midwinter.
The snow avalanche is another well
handled effect in the last act, which is
the most interesting of them all.
''Thelma'' is said to be play of heart
interest, enlivened by plenty of true,
wholesome comedy and a drama we'll
worthy of the attention of the. most
critical. The scenery is claimed to be
beautiful and many very elegant cos
TUNES are worn. The cast is said to be
the best that has ever appeared under
Mr.. Benedict's management.
Prices 25-35.50 cents Box seats 70 cts.

made of the approaching marriage of
Arson G.. McCook, who was then sec

KILLED BY TRAIN.

The following taken from recent
issue of the Chicago Record refers to
the death of man once we'll known in
this CITY:
IA newspaper dispatch yesterday gave
Mrs. Glen Mayer, $50 Clybourn avenue
the first news of the instant death of her
father, Carl Koehler, on the railroad
tracks near Eau Claire, Wis. Tue dead
man had been a well.known contractor
at Wausau and Ashland, Wis. He was
73 years of age. 1t is supposed he fell
from moving train. The cody will
be brought to Chicago for burial.'
In pocket was y ticket from Duluth
to Chicago, bought on the 23d, also an
envelope addressed to Mrs Glenn Meyer
at $50 Clybourne avenue, Chicago, and
bearing the words my home" Ap-
pended was label apparently from a
newspaper wrapper bearing the name
and address of Emil Gerth, Hibbing,
MINI.
Mr.. Koehler was once a resident OF
this city where as the above item states
he followed the vocation Of contractor
and builder. He constructed the city
hall and many other buildings in this
city, and from here went to Ashland
about twelve years ago. After living
there number of years he removed to
the coast and at the time of his death
his home was at Seattle, Wash. He had
been on visit to his daughter, Mrs.
Mayer, in Chicago. and was returning
home when the accident happened
which cost him his life Mrs Mayer re.

STOCK EXHIBIT.

From all reports one of the leadj-g 9
features of the county fair to be held
the hrst week in September will be
the stock exhibit. Within the past
year stock raisers of this county have
brought to this section many herds OF
pure blooded cattle which will greatly
improve the showing made last year
which was acknowledged to have great
ly surpassed anything in that line
shown at any previous fair held in the
county. The farmers of the county
are fast becoming stock raisers
which business they find more pro-
fitable than raising grain, and besides
the importing of choice breeds of cat
tie of late, they have gone heavily in 3
sheep raising which industry, on ac-
count of the peculiar adaptability of the
county's land formation and the plenti-
ful supply of water promises to be lead
ing feature of farming in this section
hereafter Anticipating much larger
display of stock this year the Agricultur-
al society has made provisions for more
stall room by the erection of additional
barns of such construction as to show
off the animals to the best possible
advantage.
Among those who have signified their
intention of bringing blooded cattle to
the fair this fall are the following:
Duncan Bros, Short Horns; Walter
Alexander. Aberdeen Angus; Jacob
Simmer, c. 5. Curtis, John Manser
and A. l.. Kreutzer will exhibit Red
Polls; Kline Bros. and e. w. Mltter,
Jerseys Besides these herds there
will be many farmers who will exhibit
smaller numbers of head, all combined
making display worth seeing
While the exhibit of grain products
may not exceed that shown other years
an account of the fair coming during
threshing time, it is thought that other
lines of crops will be seen in plentiful
numbers, for this is a bountiful year
and garden truck never looked better

bounteous Marathon. Cheese factories
and creameries are being established
each year, and heretofore the dairy dis
play has not been as extensive as it
should have been. This year, however,
an extra effort is being made among
dairymen to induce them max exhibits
and the effort is meeting with success
for nearly everyone so far interviewed
state positively that they have deter
mined to bring their wares.
Everyone interested in Marathon
county, its present and future develop
nent, ought to lend his might in max
the coming fair an example of what
can be done by concerted action in the
agricultural industry, pride of citi-
zens of the county, and an enticement
for outside people desiring farming
lands to move here and settle.

OPENS SEPTEMBER EIGHTH.

.sPhe fourth annual school term OF
the Marathon County Training School
for Teachers viii begin on Sept, sth
and promises to be more successful in
point of attendance than any held since
the organization of the school. The
building now being constructed for the
joint use of the Training and Agricul-
turai school will be completed some
time in September but it will not be
until Oct. 1st before the Agricultural
school will be opened and it may not
be until nearly that time before the
apparatus, books, fixtures, ETC.. of the
Training school can be received at the
new building. While the new quar-.
ters will be little further away from
the business section of tow1, the stu
dents will find in the new school an
advantage in the way of room, equip
ment, etc, not found in the old The
school is too firmly established to need
of any further booming at our hands
and we will but give the call issued
to prospective students by the board
which answers any questions arising:
The members of the Board take
pleasure in announcing the opening of
the fourth year of the Training School
on Monday, Sept. 8th. The year Just
closed has been one of exceptional sue
cess, sixty-nine pupils having received
instruction in the schools A class OF
twenty-seven was graduated, and
others were trained to do effective
work.
The school no longer requires an
| introduction nor needs COMMUNICATION
1t has proven its right to exist by the
good work it has done, and is de-
serving of still more liberal patronage,
because of the better work it is pre-
pared TO do by reason of experience
and the better equipment it is to have
1t will occupy its own apartments in
the new building, now in process OF
construction, and will have its owu
and better facilities for Instruction. 1t
is now known what can be done as
well as what ought to be ATTEMPTED,
and its efforts will be directed ex.
clnsively to the preparation of teachers
| for their work.
The difficulty of getting a teachers
certificate is being increased by law
year by year. The Training school is
the best place to prepare for meeting
those difficulties. The certificate
granted upon the completion of the
course is full legal qualification to
teach for three years ia Marathon
cocnty, and may be transferred To
other COUNTIES.

The Tall Gentleman.

A Frenehman visiting a fashionable
concert garden in st. Petersburg some
years ago stopped a passing Russian
officer and asked for a light for his
cigar, which had gone out. The officer,
after a moments hesitation, handed his
own cigar to the Frenchman and look
ed on with smile of resignation at the
latter's frantic efforts to get light.
"You are French, 1 believer said the
officer.
Not only French, but from Tou-
lousew
"Is this your first visit to Russian
Eyes"
"Ah, low l understand why you did
not salute the tall gentleman in uni
form who was with me when you ask
ed me for light"
"The tall gentleman? did not notice
him. Who is hep
The emperor" replied the officer, at
last regaining possession of his cigar.

Snakes Used by Charmers.

Cobras are selected by the so called
snake charmers of both Egypt and In
dla for their performances. The Egyp-
tian charmers sometimes pretend to
change the serpent into rod, and, ac-
cording to Godfrey st. Hilaire, this
appearance can be induced by giving
strong squeeze TO the animals neck.
which induces convulsive rigidity
from which the animal soon recovers.
1t need hardly be said that the snake
charmers always carefully extract the
fangs of the snakes they use.-Quarter-

stories told about Charles James Fox,
the English statesman and orator:
Mr.. Hare, envoy to the court of Po-
land. occupied rooms in the statesman's
"digglngs." He was a great personal
friend and indeed a man of very sim
liar tastes. They were each the OBJ
jects of continual inquiry on Tie part

Fox, looking out of the upper window,
deserted two men watching the house
and waiting. With a genial smile. he
shouted. pray, gentlemen, will you tell
