Old Arkansaw M ay II.

Fred Ravmond'S powerful melo-
dramatic comedy "Old Arkansaw"
will be the attraction at the Loveday
Opera House, May 27th. Mr.. Ray
mond has remodelled the play some
what this season. added more comedy
and specialties and trimmed down
some Of the talky scenes. All the
scenery is bright and new and the
production is on much grander
scale than ever before. The role OF
Jeremiah Snodgrass is In the hands Df
an exceptionally clever comedian.
This laugh-p rovoking character is
perhaps the most original idea that
LAS been introduced into play. His
every word, look, action and speech
provokes laughter. 1t is probably the
most talked of character on the
American stage today. "The young
Americas" will talk about "Oid
Arkansaw" for months after it appears
and many or the Older ones will join
in initiating the peCuliarties of

A Regular Thing.

A hegira Of Antrim County citizens
to Georgia will take place in the au-
tumn. A long prevailing custom has
been the exodus to Georgia. The exo-
busters commonly go in flocKs and
fly high like wild geese. with a merry
"honk" the while. In year or two
each returns In flock by himself and
flies low like the shikepoke. He is
glad to alight. Asked by his old
neighbors how he liked Georgia he
replies rather sheepishly that Michi-
gan is good enough for him. The
Wolverine pilgrimage to Georgia
and return is the regular thing.-De-

Back to Good Service.
Pere rlarquette Change of Time May
on Chicago Division.

When the Pere Marquette COM
menced running its own trains through
to Chicago last December. the route
was over the tracks Of the Chicago
Terminal Transfer Railroad from the
suburbs OF the city TO the passenger
station at Harrison street and Fifth
avenue. This was a roundabout
route and necessitated slow schedule
on that part Of the road. Trains be-
tween Grand Rapids and Chicago
were frequently delayed after reach
ing Chicago, and it was not,uncommon
for the train to reach the station an
hour late. The service was therefore
far from satisfactory.
Negotiations which were pending
for some months resulted finally in
the company securing an entrance to
the city over the tracks of the Penn
sylvania Company, thus shortening
the distance in Chicago eleven miles
and making it possible to shorten the
running time of trains very ma
terially.
Beginning Monday, May 2, trains
and >, the Flyer" between Chicago
and Grand Rapids will make the time
in less than five hours, return to the
old reliable schedule of many years
standing, which made the route
popular one between Michigan points
and Chicago. Another train has been
added, making four trains every week
day between the two cities, and one
runs every day leaving Grand Rapids
at ll:S0 at night, making connection
with all trains from the north aud
east and providing fine service for
people from Bay City, Saginaw, LuG-
ington, Manistee, Traverse City, East
Jordan, Charlevoix, Petoskey and
Intermediate points.
The distance between Chicago and
Grand Rapids has been reduced from
1S9 to l7S miles, making the PeIe
Marquette the short line between the
two cities by eleven miles. The run
ming time of fast trains will doubtless
be again cut down when the summer
service is put on in June.
An entire new equipment of engines
baggage, mali and express cars, day
coaches, cafe coaches and paror cars
has been ordered for the through
trains TO the resorts this season, and

The "Resort special will be hand
some train, complete in equipment
and modern in every respect. The
day fast trains will have new parlor
cars, electrically lighted and steam
heated, wide vestibuled, and finished
in African mahogany. These trains
will be as fine as any in the service
anywhere.
The resorts of the East Coast of
Lake Michigan will be given especial
service this season: extra trains will
be put on out of Chicago on Friday
afternoons and Saturdays during the
resort season, and low tourist rates
will be offered to all points on the
coast, from st. Joseph to Pentwater
and north.

old position as an accommodating
