The attraction at the Grand, Feb
20, will be the dramatized edition of
the cream of Anthony Hopes genius,
The Prisoner of Zenda. - The story

executed, have made the play the one
successful romance of the age.

ceeded it's metropolitan achievements

OF witnessing the embodiment of
Hopes romance in living form.

HObnobbing With the NabObs.

Twice each year since the establish
ment of this paper we have been re-
cording the semi-annual visits of Mr..
Ben Bear to New York, where he goes
far in advance of each season to make
his selections of goods, and have his
stock of clothing manufactured. Each
succeeding visit has demonstrated the
benefit accruing to the people of this
section from securing in their pur-
chases the result of first choice of
styles, designs and qualities, and our
people are therefore interested in
these trips. Mr.. Bear departed for
New York Saturday evening for his
fifty fifth trip, and was accompanied
by Mrs. Bear, Who will meanwhile
visit among friends and relatives. We
have no doubt that an early choice in
the first market of the county will as
usual result in the best bargains in
all things which men wear, and we
shall look forward to Mr. Bears re-
turn with this expectation. We join
all in wishing them successful and
profitable trip. stif

Crushed to Death.

Frank Mcneil went TO Lawler last
Saturday, to attend the funeral of
one of his boyhood friends, Joe
Byrnes, who was killed by falling un-
der the wheels of the Milwaukee pas
senger Friday noon. The young man
was standing on the platform as the
train pulled out, talking to some girl
friends and in some way slipped un.
der the moving car. The boxing of
the wheel caught him and doubled his
body up, crushing the life out of him
instantly. His back and neck were
both broken. He was one of Law
ler's most respected young men and
his death was great shock to his re-
latives and friends.

Quoted through a new shaft No. 3.
Shaft No, 2, equipped with very
fine hoist is 1000 feet In depth. The
mine can also be operated from the
level Of the big Ontario tunnel which
passes under the DAILY at a depth Of
