THIS LAST DOLLAR"

Those prime Waterbury favorites, David Higgins and Georgia Waldron, are entertaining large audience at Polls this afternoon and evening with hheir new American play, His Last Dollar" and they will undoubtedly at tract another large concourse of ad- nirers when they repeat the play this evening. The play is strong one, zqufte dramatic at times, but is never Sensational to the extent of giving of zfense to intelligent discrimination. It $ quite remarkable drama in the fact
 hat no one of the five acts is weak; SaN Ol them closely sustain the interest from beginning to end, and there are sclimaxes which give ample opportunI-y y for the expression of strong, dramatic action. Prices are 25, B, 50, 75 cents zand $1.

 It is only necessary to visit the l New York theaters to discover the number of actors out of employm | Observed during the week were the following big, little and other kind of ! stars, as well as great and small ac tors: Amelia Bingham. Henry Miller, l w. J. Ferguson, Mrs LeMoyne, Mar garet Anglin, Harry Woodruff, Fran cis Carlyle, White Whittlesey, Joseph Holland. Madeline Beasley, Jessie Millward. J. H. Gilmour, Horace Lewis, William Collier, Hilda Spong Bonnie Maginn, Fay Templeton I Thomas o. Seabrooke. H:
 The question is now being raised | Will the actors have to forego theil salaries during their idleness in Chi cago, or is there a chance to collect from the management? Theatrical contracts contain a clause relative to "the act of God" but when a theatel is closed up by the authorities pre- sumably on the ground that it has moi complied with the law, shall the actor :. suffer for such neglect? Tn the case of stars being booked at theaters there is a different contract. which is 1 known as a sharing contract. and scv eral well known actors at present il the employ of these stars have giver notice that they want their salaries paid or legal proceedings will follow

Prosperity illustrated.

Nothing is better calculated to
give one an idea of the stupendous
growth of life insurance in the United
States than the record of The
Prudential Insurance company of
America, whose annual statement is
published in this paper.
We find that this company has
been transacting business only twenty
eight years, and had, in 1876, assets
amounting to 81, ,232. Today It's assets
amount to over S72, ,000, 600; the amount
it has paid to pOlicyholders during
the twenty.eight years exceeds
S79, ,000, 900; while the number Of
families enjoying its protection is
estimated at more than one million.
These results indicate the
extraordinary popularity Of The
Prudential. popularity which owes
its origin to the fact that The
Prudential was the first company to
meet the wants of the industrial
classes in regard to life insurance, and
also was the first to establish system
of quick settlement Of claims. a-
The Prudential management and
also the Prudential policyholders are
to be congratulated upon the success
which every year brings to their
gigantic enterprise, success which
is as gratifying to the public at large
as it is to the pioneers OF such a use full
institution. Write to the Home Of
flee OF the company, Newark, N. j., for
information concerning it's policies,
which guarantee protection to the
family as we'll as dividends to the
policyholders.

Good Man Tor County Treasurer.

Phillip Bean, the present treasurer
OF the town of Hansen, was in the
city Monday on business with the
county treasurer. Mr.. Bean is one of
the early settlers OF that town. In
fact he came to Grand Rapids in the
fall of 1868. He was employed in
Geo. A. Neeves s. Son's saw mill ip the
summer time and went into the woeds
winters logging for the same company.
He spent his time this way for seven
years. He then went into what is
now the town of Hansen in 1873 and
homesteaded some land where he has
ever since resided. He has cleared and
improved a large farm and raised a
family of five boys and one girl. He
has served his town as chairman,
clerk, treasurer and justice Of the
peace and has never been found want
ing in any respect. He is we'll known
and highly though OF by all those
who enjoy his acquaintance. His
name is favorably mentioned in con-
nectiOn with the nomination OF
treasurer on the republican
ticket. The party could look a long
while before finding any better
timber for that office than will be
found in P hillip Bean. We commend
him to the consideration of republi-
cans for this place.

DR.. ]. A. Jackson, OF Berlin, has
located in Rudolph where he expects
to practice his profession. His wife
arrived Monday and vas the guest OF
Mrs.. Hugh Corbett between trains
The Berlin CouIant says: "Dr. j !.
A. Jackson is to leave, Ber-
lin this week. He is going to Rudolph,
Wis. This move was decided upon
quite suddenly last week. While on
visit to that place last week, the
people there very urgently solicited
him to locate there. There is no
physician there and people have to
20 fourteen miles to Stevens Point or
10 miles to Grand Rapids for
physician, which they do not like.
The country is prosperous and fine
dairying. Although DR.. Jackson has
been enjoying constantly growing
practice in Berlin, he could see in this
new opening much better oppor-
tunity for a more rapid increasing
practice with no opposition locally.
The place has few hundred popu-
lation and the surrounding country is
we'll populated with thrifty farmers.
While in Berlin, the doctor has made
many friends and but recently brought
among Us bride, which in fact was
matter Of much pleasure to all and
who, with the doctor, will be greatly
missed from the social circles Of Ber-
lin."

BOTH GAMES GO
TO MARSHFIELD
High School Girls and Boys
Basketball Teams Defeated
Friday.
GIRLS GAME, 9 TO A..
BOYS GAME, 33 TO ~
About Fifty Rooters Accompanied
the Teams to Marsh.
field.

Last Friday afternoon about fifty
Grand Rapids people left for Marsh
field to witness the Jwo games OF
basketball between the boys and
girls teams of this city and the
teams of the Marshfield high school.
Graud Rapids lost both contests.
The score Of the girls game was to
4 and the boys IS to %.
The games were played in the
armory. The floor, which had been
used for dancing purposes, was very
slippery, making it difficult for our
players to get around; this, of course,
handicapped them considerably.
The girls game was close and they
all did the hest they could to win.
Special mention should be given to
the playing of Fern Love. She was
the star of the contest and very often
evoked the applause of the audience
by her brilliant playing. This was
the girls first game out OF town.
The boys game was the fastest ever
played in Marshfield, and at no time
could one tell what the result would
be.
The Grand Rapids boys played the
best game of the season and even
though they did not win they are
entitled to a great deal of praise.
The Marshfield team is one of the
best high school organizations in the
state. Frank Nimtz, forward on the
Grand Rapids team, made 20 points
out of the %. He certainly played a
star game.
After the game reception followed.
A short program was carried out and
refreshments were served. After
that dancing was INDUCED in.
The Grand Rapids people report a
good time and have nothing but
praise for the royal way they were
entertained by the Marshfield people.
Ii is hoped that next year Grand
Rapids WILDE favored with a double
game from MarShfeld.
The lineup of the Grand Rapids
teams is as follows:
GIRLS.
Forwards-Irene Gilkey and Floy
Quinn.
Center-Rosia Wipperman.
Guards-Fern Love and Georgia
Ridgman.
BOYS.
Forwards-Frank Nimtz and Leon
ard Voyer.
Center-Frank Natwick.
Guards-Charle Loeffelbein and Roy
Little.

From this it may be seen that there
are from two to three thousand horse
power in reserve which may be sold to
factories that desire to locate here.
With the exception of a small gap
near the wood room the building is
now also completed. The paper
machines will be up in short time
and when all the other machinery has
been received and put in place, the
wiring and piping finished the work
In the manufacturing OF paper will
commence.
5000 cords of pulp wood have al
ready been received, so that there
will be no lack of material for the
manufacture Of paper when the cem-
pa1y is ready to begin operations
about May !.
