A play that has attracted a great
deal of attention among theatrego-
ers the past three seasons is AT the
old Cross Roads" which has been
presented by Arthur c. Aston S
strong company. Encouragement at
the Grand Opera house, New York
city, was one Of the most successful
of any played in the entire season at
that popular playhouse, the big
theatre being packed nightly to its
utmost capacity. 1t is not a play
of the blood and thunder order, but
instead is one which tells a heart
story of great interest, relieved by
plenty of bright comedy. The play
will be seen at the Turner Opera
house October 2.
An official of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul road was in the
city Thursday comforting with the
advancement association regarding
the establishment of a beet sugar
factory here. The one thing that is
needed to make this project a GER
tainty is guarantee Of sufficient
acreage by the farmers of this and
adjoining counties. The factory
above referred to is now located
near Rochester, Mich, but as there
are several Of these industries in
close proximity, the supply of beets
is too small. GAINESVILLE and Chippe-
wa Falls have large factories Of this
kind, and there is no good reason
why Watertown cannot be equally
Fortunate Those who have made~a
business of raising sugar beets, say
that there is more profit in it for the
farmer, with less labor, than any
other crop. Every effort should be
made to secure this new enterprise
Factories are the backbone of a city
and Watertown should certainly
have additional manufactures.

Churninf Station Nearly Done.

The Jahnke Creamery Company
will be ready to receive cream at
their plant at Grand Rapids, near st.
Paul depot June l, 1904.
To buy your hand separator is one
that we feel sure will interest you.
The prices we offer are based on Elgin
market price for strictly fancy butter.
which none but the very best equipped
creameries employing expert butter
makers are able to produce.
We viii. pay the Elgin market
quotation for each pound of butter
fat as shown by the Babcock test that
your cream contains, If delivered by
you to creamery, and will gather the
cream at one cent less per pound
providing there are ten or more
farmers in vicinity, using hand
separators, within II miles of Grand
Rapids.
We know that our proposition to
buy your cream will pay you better
than to make butter or to take your
milk to creamery. All we want is
to have you give US trial for few
times at least. And we feel sure that
we can prove to you that it is to your
advantage to continue shipping to US.
We will pay every two weeks-that is,
as soon after that time as it is pc BILE
to get the statements made out.

cUBANs YET UNFRIENDLY.
Government Official Reports Result
Of Observations Made on
Recent Visit.

Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Taylor returned to Washington recently
from a trip to Cuba He says that the
natives still entertain dislike for the
people OF this country.
"The native Cubans do not" he said,
"seem very friendly toward us, while
the Spaniards are especially friendly.
OF course, do not refer to Cuban OFF,
Gals, but to the people, who seem to en-
terrain some sort of q fear that it is
the intention, at no remote date, Of this
country to annex Cuba, and that Ameri-
can enterprise and capital will come in
and dominate affairs to the detriment
of the interests OF Cuban residents. This
feeling undoubtedly win be allayed as
time goes ON.
"Cuba was pleasant disappointment
tome. The city Of Havana is kept scrupu-
lousIy clean. Ihave never seen an Amer
lean city where the streets and alleys
were cleaner than in Havana, thanks to
Gen. Wood and others. The country out
side the city of Havana is quite pic
turesque, and surprisingly fertile There
are forests Of sugar cane and vast to-
bacco plantations and cocoanut groves,
and pineapple orchards without numb
The city of Havana is notably lacking in
hotel accommodations. There are
numerous hotels there, but they are not
up to proper standard. and prices are
extra high.
"The first general election was held
one Sunday while was there, and passed

inces, but good order generally prevailed

NEW SPORT OF PARlsIANs.
Prominent People Of the French Cap
ital Have Taken to Sailing
About with Aeroplanes.

The gilded youth of Paris have lately
gone in for a new fad, called aerial to-
oogganing," which is nothing more OK
less than sailing through the air by the
means of aeroplanes These winglike
constructions, says the Philadelphia
Record, enter largely into the make
up OF some flying machines. Many in
vestigators who have been engaged In
the conquest of the air contend that
the aeroplane offers the only solution
IT manfiight, and that the use OF the
balloon as means of buOyancy is all
wrong, as it presents too much surface
to be acted upon by the wind, max
ing the machine uncomfortable. With
the aeroplane it is contended that man
will eventually be able to fly as the
eagle and the buzzard, which can be
seen a-sailing in the air with out
stretched wings for minutes at time
without the movement of muscle.
Aerial tcbogganing is a new. hardy
sort. rot without danger, which will
doubtless soon be better known to the
world, as the men who have taken 1t
up are Of unusual wealth and prom
inence. These are: Ernest Archdeacon,
Jacques Balsan and Comte de la
Vauix. who risk their skins" as the
French say. willingly for the excitement,
econCed by experts CT the type OF
s.alIet, the balloon constructor and
sar,ess aeronaut; Girardot, the auto
-,ob.le constructor and breakneck racer:
;..e eclectic Henri de Rothschild, doc
or. bone-setter and multimillionaire,
and Geore eDacgent. the model maker and
general aercnautic specialist OF the
french army's balloon park at Chalais-
sIou6Cn, these young Parisians are in
state to co some very lively sport
ug.
in a recent chat Mr. ArchdeacOn said:
"Tl.e aeroplane has come to stay.
"Ch mute and Herrin. improving on
re unhappy Lilienthal, obtained results
which encouraged Wilbur Wright and
lis bro;h er to undertake what have
turned out such brilliant experiments.
Nothing could be imagined simpler than
Re Wright aeroplane.
1.-The American brothers Wright have
demonstrated that roughly, for sport
ing purposes, the tobogganing will be
100 to in proportion to the height
rom which one Charts with box-kite
aeroplane. That is to say, you carry
;our aeroplane to the height OF dune
overlooking wide fiat expanse Of sand
below. The sport gets in his aeroplane
and holds tight, lying fast. Four men
take each a corner and run with the aero
plane against the wind-to the edge OF
the dune. Then they throw it out, and
it goes 'plane-ing.' as the French say
sustained by the air, sliding down the
air, SO to speak. The formula 1905
means that if you start from height
Of eight yards, you will toboggan d.
agonally down to distance 100 yards
from your point of departure, while II
you start from a height of 80 yards,
your trip will be 1000 yards"

The Little Homestead.

No more pathetic character in real
life could have been introduced III
1.-THE Little Homestead than the
bunch backed cripple, whose dOg-llke
devotion to the woman who has
befriended him while others cursed
and scorned, leads him ito take the
life of the man who has robbed her of
home and happiness and has made her
forget the marriage vows. Even with
his weakened intellect, the cripple
realizes he has been put in the world
for purpose and he acts. In fact
all OF the characters in 1.-THE Little
Homestead" are taken from life, and
the story itself is given the added
charm Of realism through its quaint
New England setting and it's vivid
portrayal Of that which makes for the
good and evil of the world. 1.-The
Little Homestead" will be seen at the
grand opera house on Tuesday
evening May 81.

THE AID MAN SAYS:

It should not be necessary to do
much arguing to convince business
man of the advisability of advertising
ia this year of our Lord. The adyisa-
bility is SO evident that every mer-
chant who has business judgement
should appreciate it without much
effort on the part Of the advertising
man. 1t is easy enough to see the
il man uses judgement.
The idea is to get the people to un-
derstand the values that are carried
and the reason for selling them and
the advantage in buying them on a
given day at given price. The
things which appeal to people are the
things which should be embraced in
the advertising to convince the
buyer.

Friars in the Philippines.

Late advices from the Philippines
state that the church question is prac-
tically settled. The friar lands ques-
ton, from having been a paramount
issue, has become a dead one and the
friars themselves q back number.
There are only about 300 of them left
in the islands, and they are not in q
position to give any trouble. The pur-
chase OF their lands by the govern
