hENosHA needs government build
Xug aDd needs it badly. The post.
office has been hampered and delayed
ia its work for the last FIVE years for
lack of space in which to transact the
Increased business of the Office and if
the present percentage of increase is
maintained for another year more
Room will be an absolute necessity. It
will simply be an impossibility to
haudle the business in the present
contracted quarters. Kenosha will
never get new building until she
asks for it with no uncertain voice,
however, as too many cities, most of
chem with half the claims to consider
alton that Kenosha has, are already in
the field. The Mayor has inaugural.

Former Kenosha Actor Writes a Play
Which is Given a Brilliant Pro-
duction at ST. John, N. B.
MISS REYNOLDS NOT TX THE CAST
Kenosha Actress Sewers Her Long Connec-
tion With the Owen Company and is
Succeeded by Jeanette Lewis.

William Owen, the actor, who has
practically made his home in Kenosha
for several years has attained great
success for during the past week he
gave the first production of a play
which was written forIhis company by
the star, himself.
The play is called "When Louis XII
Was King" and the reports of the first
production Of the play seem to indicate
that Mr.. Owen has proven himself d
greater playwright than an factor.
The piece was given its first produce
ton in st. John, New Brunswick, and
ali the dramatic critics Of the city gave
columns of space to the praise of the
play and the actors who took. the lead
| ing roles.
The play is romantic drama fol-
lowing the story written by Scott in
which the life of Charles the Bold is
brought out as the central figure. The
plot of the play is well defined and it
is said to possess rare literary merit.
For more than six years Mr.. Owen had
been working on the new play and this
| is the first time that he had considered
it in condition to offer to an audience.
Thousands Of dollars were spent In
putting the piece on and the st. John
papers state that the production was
the most elaborate ever seen on stage
ii that city.
| Mr.. Owens principal aid in the play
is John w. Mcconnell, who has been
with the Owen company ever since the
early nineties. Mr.. Mcconnell has al
l1ost as an important part as Mr..
Owen. It will be especially interest
| ing TO Kenosha people to know that
Miss Camilla Reynolds, Of this city,
who has been the leading lady for the
the company for the past four or FIVE
years, is not in the company for the
new play. Miss jeanette Lewis, sis
ter of Julia Arthur, the famous emo
tiona1 actress, has been cast for the
leading roles with the company and
Miss Reynolds name does not appear
among the mem bers of the cast in any
capacity.
One of the members of Mr.. Owen s
company who was recently in Kenosha
stated that Miss Reynolds had left the
company at the close of the summer
season and has gone to New York pre-.
sunably to accept an engagement
with new company. For some time
there has been a feeling that Miss
Reynolds had not been receiving the
consideration she deserved for her
work. The names of Mr.. Owen and
Mr.. Mcconnell have always been feat
ured with the Owen company and Miss
| Reynolds has received poor return
for her hard work as leading lady
The young lady has shown talent and
capacity as an actress and her arduous
duties with the Owen company have
shown that she is not afraid of hard
work. She is now ia New York and
while it has been reported that she will
join the Owen company it is more
proba BILE that she will be seen with one
of the leading New York companies
during the season.
The Owen company will appear en-
ltirely in Mr.. Ovens play during the
coming season and they will probably
visit Kenosha in the early spring.

TINS is only the beginning of the
mushroom season and already reports
of toadstool poisoning are making
eheir appearance in the papers. The
gatherers of the fungi would do we'll to
profit by the misfortunes of these early
a4ufortunates and leave all varieties of

severely alone. The resemblance be-
tween some of the edible and poison

MANY people entertain grave doubts
as TO the outcome of the corn crop,
wilich of late years has become an i'm
portant one in Wisconsin. We find
6hat ins almost every instance where
the soil is well drained, well MANFRED,
and well cultivated the prospects are
excellent for a large yield, even in the
face of unfavorable climate conditions.
On badly drained and poorly culti-
waited land the returns; will be disap-
poiuting, aslgmight be expected. Peo-
pie must not expect to reap where they
have not sown.-Eau Claire Leader.
