ELKS PREPARE
FOR A BIG SHOW
First Rehearsal for Annual
Entertainment to Take
Place Sunday.

Preparations for the annual enter
tainment given by the ST. Paul lodge of
Elks have progressed so far that the
first rehearsal has been called for Sun
day afternoon at the hall of the order.
Previous entertainments given by the
Elks have been the event of the year,
both in the show line and from a social
standpoint, and this year will be no
exception. In fact the show will be
better than ever before, as the advance
agent would say.
The Metropolitan has been engaged
for March 5, 6 and Z, and there will be
four performances, three evening and
Saturday matinee. In order to Sc
cure the house it was necessary to en-
gage it for half a week, and this will
permit one more performance than has
been the custom in past years.
The committee having the affair in
charge consists of Frank Rice, George
w. DOdds and Edward Wilson. Al G..
Flournoy will have exclusive charge of
the show as manager and director and
Artie White will be the stage manager
Mr.. Flournoy, in speaking of the per-
Torrance last evening, said:
The coming entertainment will be
the best ever presented by the Elks,
and that is saying good deal. There
VIII be from SeYenty-five to one hun
dred people in the cast, and these will
include not only the cream of the local
talent in the Twin Cities, but a num-
Der Of professionals. The first part
will be a decided novelty, all those on
the stage, with the exception of the
end men appearing in fancy costumes
and white faces. The end men will fol-
low the universal custom and black up
for the occasion.
''The olio will be big burlesque, par
ticipated in by about 100 people, and
will Introduce a large number of ex-
cellent specialties. For further partic-
ulars you will have to wait until the
programme is published"

Physicians Are Baffled.

Gasping his name and that of his
employer, Joseph Marks, who stagger-
ed into the engine room of the gas
plant at Lexington and Selby yester-
day afternoon, fell unconscious. The
engineer, after attempting to resusci-
tate him, called the police ambulance

gas plant about o'clock yesterday
afternoon. He opened the door abrupt
ly and staggered into the room.
1T am Joseph Marks, and I work
for Strange" he gasped and then fell
in a heap. Cold water failed to revive
him nor did the remedies which the
ambulance surgeon brought avail. The
man remained unconscious for several
hours.
DR.. Benepe, who attended him, said
last night that he could not determine
the cause of the mans condition until
he recovered consciousness. DR.. Moore,
the ambulance surgeon, said that he
did not know what was the matter
with Marks. He had no sign of liquor
upon him, said the surgeon.
The name of Joseph Marks does not
appear in the city directory.
