\. N. {. A. STAR
LECTURE COURSE

Tickets for the Star course of the
Young Mems Christian Association
are in the hands of canvassers and the
committee suggests that when patrons
are waited upon for the purchase of
tickets that they decide at once as to
the number required so as to avoid the
necessity of a return trip. Only seven
| hundred reserved seats will be on sale,
which embraces the entire lower floor
of the opera house. Dollar tickets
will not admit TO the lower floor.
1t is the desire of the committee
that everybody shall have an equal
chance for reserved seat ticket, and
it is suggested that if, for any reason,
! the canvasser fails to call, that tick
/ cts be purchased at once, at either
Hunts drug store, Grone's book store,
the Y. NJ. G. A., or W. V. OgIesby's
office This suggestion is made for
the reason that there is demand for
tickets and unless patrons of the
course heed this advice they may be
unable to secure reserved seats. The
reserved seat board will open at the
Opera House on Friday morning, Nov
ember II, at o'clock.
The entertainments are the finest
ever brought to Danville, and when
this fact is considered, together with
the time and trouble of securing and
arranging talent and dates for the en-
tertainments. the price Of the tickets
is exceedingly low. Single admi 'sion
for Brookes band is 70 and 80 cents,
alone In the FIVE entertainments
forty -four persons will appear before
the people for their pleasure.
Brooke's Marine Band and Orchestra
will have thirty musicians and Miss
Lillian Reed as soprano soloist and
Mr. Bert Brown as cornet soloist
Then comes Hon. Charles B. Lands,
congressman and lecturer Next is the
Mendelssohn Male Quartette, with
Marguerite Smith. child impersonator
and Helen Faye, soprano soloist. After
the quartette comes Hon. j. Wright
Giddings, exLieutenant Governor of
Michigan, in one of his famous lectures.
The closing entertainment will
be May Parker's Little Pickaninnies
and Concert Company, including Miss
Lillian Pierce, reader; Miss Florence
Beckett formerly flute soloist with
the Boston Ladies Symphony Orches-
ira; Mr.. Price, pianist and accompan-
list; Miss Bertha Webb, violinist
Little Phil, the miniature comedian
Richard, the famous boy soprano, and
Edward Foy, contralto.
That the above talent is appreciated
is evident from the patronage of the
public, and the committee urgently ad-
yises the early purchase of reserved
seats Do not wait until all the tick
cts for the lower floor are disposed Of

NATIONAL GUARD.
Encampment to be at Parkersburg
This Year Maybe.

Parkersburg is to have the Nation
al Guard encampment this summer.
No official order has been made to
this effect, but the matter is fully de-
termined and probably the latter part
of August or the first of September
the encampment will begin. An eff
fort was made last year to secure the
encampment for Parkersburg but
for certain reasons it was thought
best to hold it at Wheeling This
year Adjutant General Baker is deter
mined to bring the National Guard
here and when the formal call is made
for the encampment it will name Par
kersburg as the place, This will be
qualification to the Parkersburg
people, who are always glad to well
come the soldier boys, and the
members OF the guard as well, for
they always like to visit Parkersburg.
1t Is recognized as the most suitable
place ia the state for the encampment
and the officers and men of the guard
are always sure OF fine camp and a
good time when they come to Parkers-
burg. -Paakersburg Sentinel.

WANT 1T TO CLOSE.
Window Glass Workers trying
to Shut Down Factory.

Wage Committee Here to Induce Jones
W0rkmen to Stop-Adyance OF Ten
Per cent Said to Hinge ON Success OIL
the MOFement-0wners Want to run
to June 10.
The wage committee representing
the window glass workers is here on
business connected with the organiza
ton. They are trying to induce the
workmen at the Jones Window Glass
plant to stop work now instead of
waiting until June 18th to which
time their scale extends.
The combine committee authorities
have agreed to advance the wages Of
all window glass workers in the com-
bine and all affiliated with them ten
per cent at the beginning OF the fall
fires on October 7th.
A condition of this is that all fac
tories stop now instead of running
later as some of them expect to do.
The combine has already closed down
its factories.
Some Of the workmen at the Jones
plant have quit but from fourteen to
sixteen shops are still working. 1t is
to induce these men to stop that the
wage committee is here.
The members of the committee
state that il the Jones can be shut
down the men will get an advance of
ten per cent next fall and if they work
there is a chance that the new scale
may not be signed by the combine.
Orders are on hand at the local
plant to take all the product up to the
closing time agreed upon between it
and the workmen and the owners are
anxious to continue in operation un-
Til the middle Of June. The next day
or SO will determine whether or not
the plant will continue to run.

Nothing Doing in Regard to Railroad
Mines Near Usage on Account of b.

President James A. Milholland of
the Cassville and Monongahela rail
road company has been in town on
visit OF inspection. He said that
there was nothing to be given out
regarding the road but that it would
be built as soon as possible. 1t had
been hoped to have it in operation
before this.
The B and O has been delaying
matters all that it possibly can and
it's attitude has been that of passive
resistance to the opening of any
more coal mines along this road un-
less directly on the branch. 1t may
be that the Wabash will have to
come in before these mines may be
opened.
