In the dramatic line, and judging by
the success which attended the other
two eng ngaRements, which were along
the concert line, the coming engage.
ment ought to be decided success.
During the Christmas holidays the
University Dramatic Club, of which
George Tyler of this city is now a
member, Will make the second of its
yearly tours to towns throughout the
state. This custom was inaugurated
last year and the success of the first
venture was more than sufficient to
warrant the plans being carried out
again this year. The club has ar
ranged for its appearance in Willmar
on Saturday evening, Jan. 2, when it
will occupy the boards at the opera
house. The fact that q Willmar boy
appears In a leading role lends in.
terest to the affair and the young
mans friends will anxiously await the
coming Of the club.
The party, which will include the
director and business manager and a
chaperone, will leave Minneapolis
Dec. e for Rochester, for an engage
ment there that evening. They will
then play successively in Winona,
Red Wing, Owatonna Litchfeld and
Willmar. Ia each of these cities
there are many University alumni,
which makes it certain that the trip
will be very pleasant in a social way
for the college Thespians. The play
which will be presented by the young
people is entitled zone Night Only, u
an exceedingly clever and appropriate
comedy, translated from the German
by Baker. The cast includes five
male and four female characters and
it Is said that several of these do
character work that is way above the
usual attempts of amateurs.
The cast is as follows: Professor
Valentian Posket, George Tyler;
Arthur Vale, M. D., his SON In. law,
Dana Easton; Jack Courtley alias
Harkins, Max Kicker; Lord Courtley,
Paul Magnuson; Marcus Brutus Snap,

The chief lumbermen of the section in
volved have been trying to get to-
gether for a long time, and when the
Doty company Of Doty began last
October to effect organization many
were found ready to join in. From
those interested it does not appear that
the combination is formed for the pur-
pose Of restricting the product of any
of the mills or of controlling the mar
ket. The idea is simply to secure a
more economical administration of
Their affairs, AMI secure better repres-
entation among eastern buyers.

Aged Celestial
Dies on Lothian
Succumbs While Vessel Is on Way
Down River.--Steamer in
Filthy Condition,

The soil of aged Sing Lucy fed
while the Oriental liner Lothian was
coming down .he river from Portland,
Tuesday. The Chinaman had engaged
passage at San Francisco for his ma
tive land, that he might die there
among the friends Of his boyhood and
the associations whose memory had
bolstered up his spirits at various times
in this nation of the free. The Lo-
THAN left Portland at noon on Tuesday
and a shirt time later Lucy cashed in
his checks. He was officially pronunced
to have succumbed to the ravages of
time. The body is still aboard the ship
and will be embalmed by the other Ce-
lestials aboard-which means that it
viii be preserved in brine for burial in
China.
The Lothian does not present an in
viting appearance. The 564 Chinese
who took passage ON her at San Fran
cisco are not at all clean, and the ship
is just about as filthy as one could well
imagine vessel to be. The Chinese are
crowded for room, but seem well salts
fed with their condition. They are 60
ing home from America for SIS and that
in itself is sufficient recompense for the
inconvenience to which they are being
subjected.
