This infantry had lain for hours in
and around the sunken road in advance
of Kettle Hill, and AFTER the ipfan
try had captured San Juan, Roosevelt
and his Rough Riders came out of the
tall grass, where they had been con
cealed for hours, and went up Kettle
Hill, which had never had upon it al
entertainment or a Spanish soldier.
Colonel Roosevelt had had no mill

the navy, where he might have beer
of some service, in order to take {
spectacular position in the army, wher,
he was the laughing stock of regulars
and volunteers alike. All the worl(

BY the latter path we abandon hui
mainly, and with drum and trumpet
and warship, hurl ourselves into the
wretched wrangle which has been GO

OF history, and the new world then
ceases to exist. This is the track into
which, tentatively but surely, our Gov
eminent has been trying to push, with
accelerated pace, during the last three
years, and now the people of the Unit
ed States are about to be called upon
to saw il it be their wish TO continue
the march. If they say yes. let them
marshal their heaviest battalions,
change their form of government to
a dictatorship, and prepare their
purses for a drain in comparison to

AT THE THEATRE.

The three act comedy, "a Widow
Hunt" was produced at the Grand on
Friday night to very good house.
The piece is brim full of good lines
and situations. The cast was an
exceptional one; although most OF
them had never appeared before the
foot lights in this city, yet they soon
demonstrated that they were no
novices.
Everyone of the cast is deserving OF
special mention. 1t was thoroughly
enjoyed by the audience who were
most generous in their applause.
The company will produce the play
at Osakis on Friday night, and the
citizens OF that town will miss rare
treat If they do not attend.
On Tuesday night, Laura Franken-
field, supported by an excellent
company, appeared at the Grand in
"Ghosts" by Henrik Ibsen.
"Ghosts, q great marriage lesson
from the STAGE" is not a piece that
pleases the usual patrons of theater
in q city OF this size. The play was
we'll staged and the cast was fine.
Miss Laura Frankenfield has many
admirers here who were pleased to see
her the star in so great play. She
is conscientious actress and in the
part OF Mrs. Alving she displayed UNI
usual talent. Her support was good.
