A full house witnessed the play
of Private Maxwell at Opera hall
last night. The play is good one
and was we'll presented. Especial
interest. was manifested in its pre-
sentation because the cast was COM
| posed of home talent, and the fur
Their inducement to attendance was
the fact that the proceeds from the
play were to go TO the benefit of a
local society, the Knights of the
Maccabees. This play will be re-
peated by the same cast Monday
evening, Nov. %, to be followed by
a dance, when it will be presented
even better than last night from the
| fact that frequent rehearsals will
be had in the meantime. The
music of the Tanz Orchestra was
pleasing feature of the entertain
| nent.
w. D. Parker, the we'll known
| Wisconsin school man, Secretary
of the Wisconsin educational ex-
hibit for the ST.. Louis exposition,
who is in the city, said yesterday:
| THE committee in charge of the
educational exhibit to be made at
the St. Louis fair is getting along
finely in it's work. The normal
schools are somewhat backward in
their share, no doubt, because some
| of them lack the means to provide
what they deem an adequate show
| ing. Several of the nornals will
make exhibits, however. 1t is plan
ned here to make most complete
showing, to have the exhibits tell
| the story of how the child thinks
during each stage of it's education
al development. "-Milwaukee Sen

Ten Nights in a Bar Room was
played at Opera hall Saturday night
to a good house, was we'll played
and the players received commenda-
ton in liberal applause, so liberal
sometimes that most people thought
the applause anything but COM
mandatory. The company carries
a good band and a rafting fine or
chestra. There was considerable
annoyance among the boys in the
back seats. They made too much
noise and the noise was too persist
ent, and some of them aggravated
this offense by throwing handfulls
of corn among the audience. 1t ap-
pears that these boys had brought
the corn with them with the inten-
ton of annoying people by throw
ing it around. 1t is anything but
pleasure to attend an entertainment
subject 10 such exasperating annoy
