to follow. On being conducted to the

attractive Gene. The table stood in
the center OF the room with a bou.
quet OF pink carnations and %festoons
of smilax we're draped from each cor

The decorations in all of the rooms
were carnations, the club flower, and
some roses. Mrs, II. F. Hitchcock
and Mrs. J.. O. Walrath presided in
the dining ROOM, assisted by Mrs. s..
G. Boycc and Miss Windle. The
menu served by the ladies was Of a
little more substantial character than
that served at a ladies' function
usually. and it was enjoyable from
the first to the last.
The Round Table ladies certainly
deserve high praise for their efforts
to make the first day of the year a
memorable n for their gentlemen
friends and it is hoped that other
clubs i'm the city will take up the
New Years day open house feature
and make it more general.

THE MAYOR INVESTIGATES
Looks Thoroughly Into Conditions
at Opera House Concerning
the Exits.
THE MAYOR INVESTIGATES

Editor Republican: The recent
horror in a Chicago theatre has awak-
ened our people to the possibilities
of d similar catastrophe in our local
playhouse, and, in order to know lust
what the conditions are, / have made
an investigation Of the building, as
regards exits, and I find that beside
the main entrance located on Main
street, there are two on the south
side, one from the main floor, the
other for use of the gallery. In ad-
dition to these there are two exits
from the stage floor proper, and two
from the dressing looms in the base
ment. While these two latter are
more especially for the use Of the
people occupying the stage, all are
accessible to the audience, that can
reach them through the boxes, or by
using the exit under the stage, and
made to accommodate the orchestra.
This arrangement gives to occupants
OF the main floor practically six exits,
and those of..the balcony two.
At my suggestion the management
have agreed to place placards at all
of these exits, by which the audience
may have proper notice, and not all
attempt to leave by the main en-
trance, in cast of fire or other causes
by which a hasty exit is desirable.
The great trouble is that in such
cases people are liable to lose their
presence Of mind, and then it is that
serious results ensue. II our citizens
will carefully study the exits when
in the building and plan for thought
full action in an emergency there
should be no serious results, as by
systematic movement the entire
house could be vacated i'm less than
five minutes.
Very respectfully,
Geo. a. Silsby.

There is little hunting to be done
at this season Of the year and as a
sort of wlndup of the hunting season
the Hunters Club gave a banquet at
the Olympus cafe Sunday afternoon,
and a menu that would tempt the
appetite of the most discriminating
epicure was placed before the twenty
two gentlemen, who entered into the
discussion O. the various viands with
the same delight that they would
shoulder a gun and sally forth into
the field for game.
a dinner Of this character without
toasts would naturally be incomplete.
by unanimous consent II. Fl. Collard,

to the seat of honor. Toasts were
responded to by G. M. Blythe, III. Il.

William Haskell Got Away With
Funds at Bowling Green,
Entrusted to Him.

Friday eveing Sheriff w. r. Rccce,
of Bowling Greer, Ohio, arrived in
the city to take charge Of William S.
haskell, who was arrested a few days
ago by Chief Keith. Mr. Reece
greeted his prisoner at the county
Jail in the evening and presented him
the requisition papers from the gov
ernor of Ohio. Mr.. Haskell said that
he was willing to return without
further papers from the governor of
this state. Saturday morning they de-
parted for Bowling Green VIA the
Milwaukee road and Mr.. Haskell will
stand trial on the charge.
In conversation with Sheriff Reece
he gave The Republican the following
statement concerning the departure
of Haskell: "Haskell left Bowling
Green ABOUT a year ago, and went d.
rect to California, and / have learned
since that he came to Mitchell some
time IN May. The crime for which
Mr.. Haskell is wanted is embezzle-
ment. He was connected with a
great many business enterprises in
Bowling Green, which is a place Of
1910 people, such as secretary of the
school board. secretary Of the city
park, was connected with lodges and
as an attorney he had made a number
of.:collections for people Of the city.
In all these capacities he was i'm pos
session Of the finances. About a year
ago it came to a point where he had
to make a settlement with some Of
these business enterprises and evil
IDENTIFY he did not have the money to
meet his obligations, and he left the
country. He got away with sl,5GO
Of the city park fund, and how much
more from other sources we have not
been able to learn as people were slow
about telling OF their losses. Mr..
Haskell has resided i'm Bowling Green
for a good many years and had the
confidence, respect and esteem OF the
people. There is not the least ques-
tion i'm my mind if he had gone to
his friends and told them of his
plight suit what lhey would have
come to his rescue at once. and pre-
vented him from taking the rash
step. He has a wife and several chill
dren. ono of his daughters being a
teacher in the city schools"
Sheriff Reece was reticent AS to the
reason ior Haskell being short of
money. but he intilnated that the
embezzler had been spending consid-
cradle money on his lady stenograph-
er. Nh. Haskell seemed to take his
departure with some apprehension,
and while the east train was waiting
he walked n%crvously up and down the
aisle Of the car.
