The VIM. Owen company are again
in this part Of the state with "The
Lady Of Lyons" which they played
here last summer. Miss Reynolds
and ]. W. Mcconnell are with him
despite the oft repeated stories of
Miss Reynolds retirement and Nc
Connell's coming into great wealth
through the death of mis- divorced
wife.
The Decorah papers are very tame
in their remarks concerning the
recent foot ball game, but of course
make the plea that Cresco plays too
roughly and used foul tactics. The
best answer to their charges is the
fact ,hlteveryoth + team and town but
Decorah gives the Cresco team the
name OF gentlemen and clean foot ball
players.
Monday night M. ]. Carter came
from Howard county where he was
dropping walnuts. In two days. time
he planted $500 nuts on sixteen acres
of land, putting one at the toe of the
right foot, short steps, every fourth
step. Some were covered with a hoe
but the most of them in burrows and
covered with a plow. He never will
live long enough to look at the trees
sixty feet high, but wants to stay
here long en- ugh to pick many
hundred bushels Of walnuts each year
for several years to comr.--Ossian
Bee.
A short time since party came to
came to Cresco with a car load of
Michigan apples in bulk. AS selling
them in competition with, and at less
price than local dealers charged would
be detrimental to them the tariff,
tlicense) for selling in Cresco was ex-
acted, hence the car with its cargo of
apples was taken to the stock yards
just outside the corporation and there
sold, the purchasers being largely the
class who are afraid of freedom in
trade. II they believe in their doc
trine why didn't they buy of the local
dealers and let the car OF Michigan
apples rot?

as a bell. The comedian, T. J.
lIohpson, is well known to opera goers,
having been for some time a member
of the Andrews Opera Company, the
Carl Rosa Company, the Duff Opera
Company and the Emma Abbott
Company. He and his sweetheart
"Betty" keep the audience In constant
laughter. Their work is not coarse
but full depth and dry wit. Mr.
Johnson's drunken song is q great
success. Squire and Mrs. Hawkston
being Virginia Peny and O. =. Jean
COD, come In for q good share Of tn,
laughter. The fact that they plan tx

Altogether the company is vel
balanced and each performer equal!
