The DunbarS,

The opening attraction in the insti
tute course at the opera house Mon
day night was theDunbar Concert Com
pany and the fact that the program of
ten numbers was trebled is the surest
proof of the appreciation of the large
audience present. Whether as quar-
tette or bell ringers their work was of
the highest excellence, The cello play
ing of Mr.. Harry Dunbar was particu-
larly pleasing, while the child imper-
sonations of Miss Smith were bright
and winsome, evidencing a degree of
naturalness seldom reached. The en-
tire entertainment fully justified the
extravagant claims made for it and
places the community under renewed
obligations to Miss Collins for provid-
ing so generously for its pleasure.

A Big Scenic Production.

1t is seldom that the heavy scenery
and effects of the much vaunted "big
city productions" is carried into the

companies leaving behind the bulk of
their impediments, claiming that 'any-
thing is good enough" for provincial
audiences. An exception to this rule
is ga Foxy Tramp" whose managers,
Carley and Lewis, not only carry car
load of scenic and mechanical accesor
les, and produce the play under the per-
sonal direction of its author, Mr.. Lewis.

Serious Wreck.

Last Friday afternoon a serious ac-
cident occurred on the Cameron
Lumber Company's log railroad near
Cameron. While loading a car with
iron rails, on steep grade up Russell
Hollow, the brake chain broke letting
the car down the steep incline at ter
rife rate of speed. Just below, little
distance, the log loader and crew were
working when their attention was at
tracted by the screams of a lady. who
noticed the the car Of iron rapidly
nearing the loading crew. Mrs. A. j.
Turley, (of Emporium who is stopping
with her husband, who conducts a log
contract, knew the men would be
caught unless their attention was at
tracted, screamed as only a frightened
lady can. The men had time to get
out of danger when the crash took
place. The log loader and several cars
were completely demolished, entailing
a loss of several thousand dollars. No
one was injured except the log scaler,
Robt. Shrieve, who was considerably
shaken up, but no bones broken. II
was very expensive wreck.

"My child, what is that pretty piece
of pink paper on my Journal?" "That
papa, has your name on it and date.
The name tells the postmaster whose
box to put the paper into and the date
tells him how many years you have
been getting the paper without paying
for it, Just look at the date on this,
papa. The printer must be a good,
kind man to send US paper every week
for SO mary years without getting any
pay for it," HE is, my child, he is,
and Pm going to send him the money
this very day that he has waited for so
long; and Pm going to put in a dollar
and half besides to pay for the
Journal year ahead" "Thats doing
as you would like to be done by, isn't
it, papa? This is what you tell us to
do, and l know the paper will seem so
much better if the little pink label tells
us all that it is paid for ahead."-

Election Next.

The political campaign in this coun-
ty has not caused little bit of excite
ment, there being practically only one
ticket before the voters-that of the
Republican party-with the single ex-
ception of Associate Judge. The
democratic machine endorsed the
major portion of the Republican ticket,
with the single exception of Associate
Judge. For this office they nominated
Mr.. Floyd against Judge Mcdonald,
the present efficient official. That
Judge Mcdonald will be re. elected by
a very large majority none will dis
pute He is safe man for the posi-
tion, very attentive to the duteis of the
office, intelligent and capable. You
will make no mistake by electing Hon.
John McDonald-a tried and true Of
ficer.

MR.. GEO. COTTER, as WEARY
WILLIE.n
MISS EDYTHE JAMES, as "DoRA
LESTER,
The Labadie Entertainment,

Mark Twain recently made plea
for the revival of the tragic stage.
"Now- a-days," he said, "when mood
comes which only Shakespeare can set
to music what must we do? Read
Shakespeare ourselves. Isn't it pitiful?
1t is playing an organ solo on a jews
harp. We can't read. None but the
Booths can do it.n Mark Twain is of
the opinion that if Booth were back
now in his prime he could play Hamlet.
for three hundred nights in New York.
The Labadies, who appeared Tuesday
evening in the Institute course, are not
Booths, and their program was by no,
means all tragedy; nevertheless the ef-
feet of their performance upon the.
audience is a justification of Mark
Twain's judgment that good tragedy
will find welcome from the public.
Mr.. Labadie's Richard the Third was
good, much better indeed than his Shy
lock. Mrs. Labadie was uniformly good
both as the Dowager Elizabeth and as
Portia. Her impersonation of the
the character of Portia lis intelligent
and discriminating, rejecting the in
tellectual strength and dignified
bearing of the young doctor of Padna
without the least sacrifice of feminine
qualities of modesty, tenderness and
wifely interest. In intensity of tragic
power Mrs. Labadie appeared at her
best as Hermione in the parting scene
with Damon.
A program such as the Labadies
rendered is, we think, much better
worth hearing than are the usual selec-
tions of readers.

The size of the ore pile mined in

can best be appreciated by a com
parison with the dimensions of well
known structures, says the Iron
Trade Review. The total shipments
we're ,571,2lO gross tons, or approx
imately 275,711,2lO cubic feet. The
height of the Washington monu-
ment is SIS feet and the length OF
Westminster Palace ia 885 feet. II
we imagine a structure as high as
the monument. as long az the pal.
ace and 561 feet wide, we would have
a building containing the number
of cubic. feet in the Lake Superior
ore pile of 1902 before it was mined
if it had all been in one place. The
hole made in the ground by the
years mining would be us feet
deep, 1000 feet wide aud 1000 feet
long. Into this hole fifty-three
buildings the size of the Frick

placed. !
