entertainment the local Elks intend to
give some time during the summer,
June, most likely. That is the CON

preparations for the event are already
under way. Lee Mains will be mama
ger again and will have the assistance
of Harry l.. Wilson and Gill Clark, the
three constituting the general commit
tee named by the lodge to have charge
of the entertainment.
In view of the excellence of the
''show" given last year the promise
made by the committee Ito excel
anything ever undertaken here in the
way of an amateur minstrel perform
ance-may be a hard one to keep, but
the word is out and all efforts will be
in that direction. Like on the last
occasion, a number of ladies will be
enlisted to add novelty and tone to
the affair, while the costumes and
stage settings are to be marvels OF
gorgeousness and splendor.

RESURRECTION.
Famous Actress and Play to Be Seen
Here.

Here.
Wagenhals and Kemper, managers
for Blanche Walsh, will be held in
grateful remembrance for having in
cluded this city in the tour they have
arranged for that now famous artistic.
She will be seen at the opera house
April 81 in Resurrection" the play
which has all the big capitals OF Eu-
rope agog and which has a%stounded
the, playgoers of New York. Much
however, as has been said of the play,
infinitely more has been said of Miss
Walsh's superb portrayal of Maslova,
the. leading character. AS an instance
of the esteem she has won from the
critics, the opinion of so conservative
a writer as Mr.. Acton Davies of the
Evening Sun is we'll worth while to
quote.
"She swayed and held a Broadway
audience last night" says Mr.. Davies,
"as she has never done before. You
could literally have heard a pin drop
in the prison scene last night. Miss
Walsh threw all her charms to the
winds. Every trace of beauty in face
and form was sacrificed. With her
brandy botlle in hand she sat there
in the prison yard a befuddled, be-
sotted creature beyond despair, and
so far past recollection that when
her first love, her betrayer, comes
to her, protesting repentance and
prcfforing aid she does not recognize
him and merely greets him with the
professional leer that habit has taught
her to extend to each new customer.
1t was an awful sight and made your
blood run cold. Then when he dis
closed himself, when Maslova finally
realized that this handsome prince in
furs vas not only her betrayer, but
one of the men that sat on the jury
which had found her guilty OF a MUIR
der she had neve done, she turned
on him and withered him with a scogn
which was made the more splendid
from the verys source from which 1t
came. In no role that Miss Walsh
has played has she shown so intel.
lectual a grasp of a character. Her
later notes of sorrow, repentance, ten
derness and final love were all touched
honestly, surely. Her Maslova in fact
was the triumph of her career"
Seats can be, secured in advance.

CONTESTS in, THREE WARDS.
Fourth Has Only One Candidate for
Alderman.

. Either the ambition to hold a pub
lie office is not strongly Developed
in the men of the Fourth ward, or else
they are so we'll satisfied with the
single nomination for alderman made
there that none cares to become his
opponent. Whatever the cause, G. W.
Stoddard will have no opposition in
his ace for the position of successor
to Alderman Berky, having the field
all to himself.
In the Second ward the fight will be
between Henry White, a former incum-
bent, and James H. McElroy, a young
gentleman who is aspiring for official
position the first time.
George F. Bennighoff is out to sue
coed himself as representative from
the First ward. ]. w. Vaughan also
wants the place and the contest gives
promise of being a lively and interest
ing N
Two candidates are running in the
Third ward. They are August Schmud'
ZACH, for reelection, and H. w. Nelson.
The total registration Of the city
is only $50, almost 300 below that OF
last year. AS the poll books for the
different wards have not yet been
made up, the ward registration cannot
be given at this time.
The election will take place next
Monday.
