tspecia. 10 Evening Teller. J

GRANGEVILLE, Oct. 14-"About
all the business houses in Warren that
were destroyed by the recent fire have
been rebuilt after a fashion, said
Harry Schieler. who is out from the
famous old camp. I'm most cases,
however, the buildings are only tenn
porary, and will be replaced next sum-
mer by better ones. All the lumber
that is available for building now is too
green for good use. The saw mills are
working to their fullest capacity to
supply the demand
From an artistic standpoint, the fire
will have one good result, for the dingy
old buildings will be replaced by bet
ter new ones. The streets have been
straightened and widened, and the
town will be better than ever"
II the plans of several prominent
citizens are fulfilled. Grangeville win
have a hook and ladder company.
The project is now being agitated.
and committee will soon be organized
to gather data as to expenses Of install
ling and equipping such company.
Grangevilie now has two well or
ganized volunteer companies, but the
efforts of these fire-fighters are sadly
hindered by their lack Of equipment.
Ayl they have at their command be-
sides their cart and hose is a stray
axe or two. What they need success
fully to combat the flames are ladders
and graphing hook, so that when a
frame building is ablaze. they can If
necessary tear the structure down and
quench the fire before it spreads and
endangers the whole town.

A British Impression.

An interesting English view of Pres
ffdent Roosevelt is contributed to the
1 Cornhill Magazine by H. w. Lucy,
who describes a visit he made at the
D White House. Mr.. Lucy found the
president talking with a small group
! of statesmen and travellers, and he
says:

THE cATEPULTIPILLAR


One day, as Mr.. Gander was roaming
thru the fields in search Of adventure, he
espied something green and good looking
sitting on a bit Of root that was sticking
up thru the grass.
"Ea.' said he to himself; this looks
for all the world like the richest thing

looks like juicy onion stalk, but guess
it Isn't Now, If it is alive and good to

thing to know, for I tried once on a bee
and got the wrong end first. Why, ta-

Thus he ran on to himself, still gazing
at the object before him, which suddenly
raised one end and said Rubber

HOSPITAL FOR FAIR
Managers Appropriate $4,000 for Such
a Building

The often repeated petition of the
Woman's Medical club for an appro-
priation from the board of directors
Of the, state fair for an emergency
hospital has been granted. The board
has voted $4,000 for such building
and the club is now making it's plans.
The building will probably be located
in the open space betwean Secretary

as that part Of the grounds is COM
paratively quiet. The request for aid
in providing hospital facilities was
presented by DR.. Mary S. milestone

David Higgins has proved himself to be
clever playwright, an actor of no mean
ability and something Of a business man.
Ellis Last Dollar" the most entertaining
story that has been told at the Bijou this
season; in the second, he takes the part
Of Joe Braxton, Jockey, cowboy, million
aire and Spectator, and moulds it in such
a way as to leave nothing to be desired;
and then he has had the good sense to
surround himself with a company Of cap
able players and to share the tidb1ts with
them.
He has broken away from the habit Of
actor playwrightS who grind out a one
man play, thereby forcing the support into
obscurity. AS a result there are five
"fat'' parts in Ellis Last Dollar: Joe
Braxton: Tom Linson, the schenner,i who
is a sort of Judas Iscariot; Kaufman. the
broker, tool Of Linson and father OF
twins; Eleanor Dow MS, the girl from Ken
lucky, and Viola Graysons fancee OF Joe

believes to be his friend and who advises

tangles Viola Grayson and kaufman in
his scheme. Eleanor. Downs gets wind OF
the plot and warns Braxton. He goes to
the root of the matter and finds that he is
at the end of his financial rope. One

has a horse entered in the Futurity. She
hopes to re-establish the fortunes of her

a horse entered. He instructs his jockey
to disable Miss Downs jockey and to foul
her horse in the race. His first instruction
/ is carried out and Braxton rides for Miss
Downs and wins. He discovers his

house With his winnings from the race
