BON TON BURLEsQUERs AT THE
r.. = DEWEY

The Bon Ton burlesquers are at the
Dewey this week for a return engagement. In
some respects. the Bon Tons present an excel
lent show. THE 'burlesques are funny the
costumes among the best shown at this play
house since the season opened, and the peo-
pie are competent. However, the whole is
marred by occasional bits of coarseness as
uncalled for as they are unfunny. There is
no excuse for this. The show is quite able to
stand upon its own merits, and the business
of the comedians, at the table, in the opening
burlesque, should not be tolerated !
The opening act, Americans in Japan" is
founded upon "Floradora;" and yet the tray
esty on the famous Floradora sextet comes in

TUBERS: FROM 'TOBA
Potato Dealers Are Going North for
Their Supplies.
THE SHORTAGE NOT ALARMING
But Stocks Aren't More Than Enough
to Last Till the New
Crop.

Canadian potatoes will be on the local
market in a few days. Owing to the
great scarcity of potatoes, commission
merchants are taking anything they can
find when the. prices are right. The pres
ent scarcity is in way the echo of the
great shortage of a year ago. At that
time prices were so attra ctive that farm
ers, as a rule. cleaned up everything they
had on the high range. In consequence
stocks in first hands fell to low point,
tinuing good, there has been no replenish-
ment since.
Stocks on the farms are unusually
light, else the high prices now ruling
would draw more into the big commission
centers.
S. H. Hall says there is no occasion for
alarm or fear of any sensational develop
ment in the market so fars as can now be
seen. While it is true that stocks are
very low and prices high. there is enough
to go around until the movement from the
far south begins. This will be from June
l to 10. Following this comes the
movement Of home grown stock, starting
in we'll about the middle of July. Mean
while an additional advance of 10c to 15c
a bushel would not be surprising, but the
chances are for the maintenance of prices
at about the present level until June, and
then a gradual falling as the new stock
comes in. Potatoes of good quality at
90c in straight car lots, and for anything
less than a car the ruling figure is 81. In
buying potatoes in Canada for shipment
to this country allowance has to be made
for the duty of 25c bushel.

CHILLY AND WET
Nevertheless, Crops Are Pushing Up
in Good Shape.


in Coed shape.
For the week ending yesterday Mime
sofa weather and crop conditions are
summarized as follows in the weather
bureau bulletin, issued by T. S. Outram,
section director: .~...
- The nights during the. week were cool for
the season. Rains, locally heavy, we're gen
cral in the state on the 1st; general in cas-
tern and southern portions on the I'd and gen
cral except in the extreme north on the Sd.
On the night of the Sd the rainstoTm in the
southern tier of counties was one of the heav-
lest known in ten years, causing damage to
rail and wagon roads, bridges and fields. On
the LIST there were high winds, with thunder
storms and in some places a little hail.
The rains in the Red river valley have
soaked the ground so that farm work in Mar
shall, Polk and Norman counties has been
practically at a standstil, and very little seed
seeding wheat is so far advanced that the
advisability of seeding barley. oats and fax
instead of wheat is being considered. In
vanced and oat seeding is third finished.
In Clay county half the wheat is seeded in
western portions and considerably more far
ther east. In the southern two-thirds of the
state the soil is in splendid condition. The
early sown grains are showing nicely in the
fields and the latest sown are terminating
we'll. The estimate of the damage by the dust
storms of April 10 and II was probably eX-
aggerated at the time, though it is now said
that where the seed was broadcasted the stand
is thin, while that put at uniform depth
by drilling has resulted in good and even
stand. In central southern counties, where
the dust storms were the worst, few fields
will have to he seeded to other crops. Flax
is being seeded generally, and the earliest
sown Is coming up. Potato planting is going
on favoratly. Preparations for corn planting
continue, and little corn is already in the
ground. Pastures green and a few are
afford!ng a good supply Of feed but most or
them need warmer weather. Glover and tim
othy passed through the winter safely. Plups
are in blossom and apple trees will soon be

THE PASSION PLAY
Enacted in Wonderful Moving Pic
lures at Wesley Church.

AA@StSu III ssoHueE1ul MOVING l1c-
lures at Wesley Church.
Mrs. Katherine Ertz -Bowden gave de-
lightful lecture on The Passion Play at
Oberammergau" last evening in Wesley
church. There was large. audience and
tho capacity of the church was taxed Long
before o'clock the hour for the lecture,
there was standing room only and the
sale Of tickets was discontinued some time
before the lecture began.
Mrs. Fritz Z-Bowden made a most pleasing
impression. Her talk was replete with anec-
dotes and amusing incidents, and she took
her audience on a preliminary journey from
New York through England and Paris before
she introduced them to the quaint Bavaran
village. The illustrations were remarkably
good and showed the objects of interest on
the steamer in London and Paris, where
the exposition received some attention.
The feature Of the evening was the graphic
description of the famous drama which was
prefaced' with an account of it's origin. The
pictures showed the actors and the mar
velous tableaux of the passion play. No
better motion pictures have been shown in
Minneapolis. Mrs. Parks interspersed the
pictures with several appropriate songs.
The lecture was given under the auspices
of the J. G. Purple's~ Bible class
of Wesley church, and the first
pictures shown were those of Rev.
is. Montgomery, the Bible class, and Mr.
Montgomery and his family. The funds for
carrying ON the work Of the class were con-
siderably increased by the very successful
entertainment. -
