S and laurels in the pacemaking farce

sssDer Loder," a German pastoral
DIR ANA in four acts, will be the attrac-
ton at the Turner Theatre next Sun.
day evening. It will be produced
under the auspices of the dramatic
section of the Turnverein and is fully
up to the standard of the plays pre-
sented by our local amateurs. The
scene is laid in Bavaria and portrays
the characteristics and passions of
the humble country folk.
The stern father, who is opposed to
innovations and adheres to the tradi-
tions of his forefathers, loses patience
with his eldest son, upbraids him for
his seeming waywardness, spurns him
from his presence and turns the farm
over to his second son. The father
becomes blind and does not know that
the farm is going to waste until five
years have passed, and then learns
for the first time that the place is to be
sold under execution.
His second sons ingratitude makes
him heart-broken. Before the day set
for the sale stranger appears on the
scene and purchases the farm. This
stranger proves to be the eldest son,
and in the end there is general recon-
ciliation. The play is very emotional
the cast of characters is strong one
and everything tends to a very Salts
factory and pleasing performance.
On Sunday evening, November LIST,
| Lincoln J. Carter's ''Fast Mail Co."
will appear at the Turner Theatre.
The production is largely a scenic one
and introduces such realistic pictures
as steamboat race, steamboat explo-
sion, wreck in mid-river, a fast mail
train, a practical locomotive hauling
fourteen full-sized freight cars, a re-
production of Niagara Falls and many
other beautiful and sensational feau-
lures.
| It may be of interest to note that a
sister of Mrs. Herman Helm of this
city is in the cast.
''The Gamekeeper,' with wealth of
beautiful scenery and a strong compa-
ny of artists, with the sweet singing
Irish comedian, Thos. J. Smith at the
head, comes to the Turner Theatre
November 9Th. The play was first
| produced two years ago. 1t proved to
be an artistic and financial success
and this season it is being presented
on a larger and more magnificent
scale than ever. Thrilling climaxes,
a rapid fire of Irish wit and plenty OF
good music tend to make ''The Game
keeper" an enjoyable affair.
The tour of Chas. B. Hanford, the
distinguished actor, opened at Read
ing, Pa, on Sept. 2lst. He will give
his splendid production of "The Tam
ing of the Shrew' at the Turner Thea
re arly in January.
"Shore Acres" the most popular
pastoral drama ever written, is among
the early bookings at the Turner The
atre. The production is under the
personal direction of Mrs. Hearne, the
widow of the author, and is said to be
equal in every respect to the original.
It was giver in Chicago last week and
met with enthusiastic reception.

1t is quite possible that ''The County
Chairman" may be seen here this sea-

ton, directed by Henry w. Savage,
the manager of King Dodo, the Sultan
of Sulu and the Prince of Pilsen.

The fact that many of the railroads
are laying off their men and reducing
their expenses to the very lowest pos
sible figure, does not look very en-
couraging for the promised good times.
Much of this is due to the fact that
strikes have prevented the out put of
material, and a good deal of it is due
to the scarcity of money. The future
is not as bright for the laboring man,
this winter as it was last, but it is to
be hoped that changes for the better
will take place in the near future and
the era of good time continue unbro-
ken.

The Tillmans, uncle and nephew, are

1t would be one thing to be appre-
ciated by the people in cases such as
have appeared at ST. Peter in the post
office muss there if the department
would refuse to give post Offices to
newspaper men. They have too much
latitude for free airing of their views.

The Brown County Journal of this
city has entered upon it's sixth year,
the last being the first issue of the new
year. There are few papers in the
state that equal the Journal as a coun-

trouble or money to keep it up to the
standard, he should feel gratifed at
the success he has attained.

It is a noticeable fact that those cities
which were at sometime in the past
visited by cyclone or similar mis-
fortune, are the first to respond to call
for aid from the little village of St.
Charles. Misfortune is great unifier
and brings kinship to the most distant
relations.

A jury in one of the Illinois courts,
in order to arrive at a decision, after
having been out for thirty hours, tossed
nickels; heads, guilty; tails, not guilty.
The fall of the nickels was against the
man and so the verdict was returned.
This may seem a barbarous way of
doing, and it is right that the jury
should be severity punished for their
act, at the same time it is not out of
harmony with the results of many OF
the juries, which are poor judges oflaw
and cannot digest the evidence that
they have heard, and more so if they
have business interests and are anxious
to get through with the case.

The State Federation of Women S
Clubs, which has just closed it's annu-
al session at Mankato, brought to
gether some of the brightest minds of
the state, and it is safe to say the
meeting had as high a tone of business
and intellect as any of the conventions
of men that have been held during the
year. It is one of the privileges OF
this country and this age that the ladies
find time to advance their own inter-
ests in this way. It but accents the
fact that the men have not the con-
trolling interest in public matters, and
in the finer arts the ladies are taking
the lead, which, while it is not to the
discredit of the men, demonstrates that
while the men are in the pursuit of
commercial interests the ladies are
taking the lead in those matters that
are being neglected, and are compel
ling a just recognition,

taking good work horses and cattle in
part payment, up to FIVE dollars per
acre, and time to suit the purchaser
on the balance. We have several
thousand acres of choice North Dakota

payment horses and cattle to that
amount.

Auditor Vogel has began on the per-
sonal property tax list for the coming
years. He is six or more weeks in adj
vance of the usual time, and the show
ing for this city is one that will make
some of the citizens wish that they had
no property. The rate will be materi.
ally increased over that of last year,
icing $500 on the hundred, at least ten
cents more than last year. This is
but the first installment of the increase,
another year will see the raise still
higher, and it isn't all due to the wet
season, either.
After all the action of the railroads
in the matter of the coal rates is not
more than could be expected. The
action of the commissions did not
have the appearance of sincerity from
the start, and all the expense anC
trouble that was intended for the bene
fit of the people has been in vain an6
we are right where we were at the start
with the additional assurance tina
when another question comes up there
will be little use to go to the courts O
justice with it simply refer it to thu
railroads and let the state pay thu
commissioners for ornamenting thu
positions to which the people have
elected them.

During the past few weeks there
have been several heavy failures in
banks, due entirely to stock specula-
ton, and brought about by those in
charge of the books, who were work
ing on a small salary specializing in
stocks or grain. The forceful part OF
the circumstance is that these failures
have taken place in the smaller cities,
and have apparently been the direct
result of the Introduction of the buck
ct shops. There is probably no more
demoralizing agency in existence, not
excepting the gambling halls of the
larger cities, than the rapidly increas-
ing, so-called brokerage offices or
bucket shops. There is not place in
which they have been located, that
they have not left financial wrecks,
and to the smaller places they are still
comparatively new

At a meeting of the mail carriers
associationrecently twas the complaint
of almost all the rural carriers that
they were not sufficiently paid for the
service to continue it and that most OF
them could do better at some other
common labor. The complaint is that
5000 a year is not sufficient for them
to keep team and family on, and~in
many cases those who could ign
have done so and many have tried to
but not being able to get substitutes
the bondsmen have compelled them to
stick to the work. An application will
be made to the department for an in
crease in the pay. The action is
sustaining the view that was taken by
the Review two years ago when it held
that the pay was insufficient and that
the carriers and all concerned would
be better off if one carrier did the
work of two and only made deliveries
half as often.

in preparations to call a convention
and to proceed with the elections Of
members OF the house of representa-

as contained in Thursday nights dig
patches from Honolulu, in which he Is

immediate future between the United
States and German. have come to the
notice of Secretary Root. In an inter-
view, the secretary said the only in
formation he had ON the subject was
what he had seer in the papers. He
did not regard it as a case of calling for
action by him, inasmuch as the dis
patch quoted Gen. Macarthur as saying
that the statements in Col. Jones re-
port to Gov. Carter did not correctly
represent his views in any particular,
and utterly raisrepresented him in
some. Secretary Root made the asser-
ton that remarks of this character,
delivered in private conversation.

from the requirement of an explana-
ton, but he says that Gen. MacArthur's
denial carries with it the weight of an
explanation. He therefore would take
no action in the matter.

Toronto, Ont, Dec. 12.-In a speech

They can use their power to force
reciprocity on the States; they can use
it to stimulate emigration and food
production in countries other than the
States, or they might use it to pave
the way for a trade alliance between
the English speaking people. Such an
alliance would mean a worldwide do

where the United States naval forces
