The Game Keeper Company Dis
bands Here.
HAVE TROUBLE IN THE COMPANY
The Leading Man Had a Serious Griev-
ance and Refused at the Last Nom
ent to Go on With His Part.
No Financial Difficulty.

THE Game Keeper" was not
produced at the Opera House
Tuesday night as advertised.
Quite a good sized audience
waited patiently for the curtain
to rise, and after a long delay
the manager of the company ap-
peared and made the announce
ment that the "show" had been
declared off, and ticket holders
had their money refunded at the
box Office. 1t seems that a good :
sized row was going on anon g
members of the company all day
Tuesday, with the result that the
company was badly demoralized
when evening came. The COM
pany broke up, and the different
members of it went their way
and the "Game Keeper" will not
likely be seen again for some
time to come. There was no
financial difficulty among the
members of the company, as the
management had plenty of
money. but trouble of a serious
nature occurred, and fore
bearance ceased to be a virtue
with the leading man of the
troupe, and as a result the COM
pany disbanded. The company
came here from Duluth, and was
billed for Ashland and other
points. 1t was said to have been
a strong attraction.

Ashland Man Receives Nomination
for State Senator.

A Republican County Convention is Held
in This City at Which Delegates
are Named to Senatorial
Convention at Ashland.

A county convention of the
republican party for the purpose
Of sending eight delegates to the

was held in this city Tuesday.
The caucuses had been lightly
attended in the county. and three
wards in Washburn went by
default, while Pratt, Mason.
Cable, Eileen and the town of
Washburn didnot send delegates.
The general sentiment was that
Ashland county settled the
matter when they endorsed Mr.
Sanborn, and all the other coun-
ties fell gracefully into line be-
hind the Ashland county process
sion. The convention here was
presided over by T. A. Bell. who
was on the Iron River delegation.

delegates were elected to the
senatorial convention: Ell. J..
Conlin, G. G. Bell, N. M. Oscar,
Nels Nelson. Charles F. Morris,
E. G. Alvord, r. B. Manning and
A. r. Mead.
The senatorial convention com
posed Of the different delegates
from the counties in the district,
met at Ashland Tuesday after
noon, and Mr.. A. w. Sanborn
was nominated in quiet and
peaceful convention, without
opposition. The nominee is we'll
known throughout the district,
and none of thestate controversy
will likely be injected into his
canvass.

One of the leading mem bers OF the
school board has said to The TIMES
that independent of pernicious inter-
ference. news papers and ministers,
and 5nose Having personal axes to
grind, that the board has done what
they believed to be right, that they
intend to give their best efforts to
the schools, and to stand behind
their newly elected city superin tend
ent, and that he believes the result
of the coming years work will show
that they have used good judgment
in all they have done. There seems
to be a disposition to maintain a sort
of standing opposition to Superin
tendent Oscar, and some of his
opponents have proclaimed that they
intend opposing him in every move
made in the schools. It would
naturally seem that the opposition
to Mr.. Oscar would yield now that
he is to have charge OF the school,
work, and do what they can to
strengthen his position, instead OF
endeavoring to discredit him. If
few of the wise ones who have been
devoting a great deal of their time to
the denunciation Of Mr.: Oscar would
try and do something for the schools :
instead ofcontinuing to Work against
them, they would be in better oaop
in the community. 1t may be a
Christian spirit that actuates all this
persecution of Mr.. Oscar, but it looks
more like hatred and malice. The
school board is composed of men who
know their OWL business pretty we'll,
and they will doubtless hire COM
petent class of teachers and see that
the schools are properly conducted.

Big Things.

Very Complimentary Mention

Ed and Mabel Peterson were al
Hayward last week, and took part
in a class play by the Hayward pub
lie schools. In speaking of the
parts rendered by them the papers
have the following to say:
Republican: TIE numbers by
Mabel and Edwin Peterson were es-
peciallv enjoyed, as these young peo-
pie formerly made their home in
Hayward. Mr.. Peterson dem on
strated in conclusive manner th at
he is master of his chosen instru-
ment and his playing was artistic in
every sense. The selections played
gave ample opportunity to show fine
technic and expression, which are
the true tests of an artist, and Mr.
Peterson executed the movement S
perfectly. His accompaniment were
played by his sister, Miss Mabel in
a faultless manner. The vocal Sc
lection by Miss Mabel accom- panied
by Miss Bertha Peck on the plan c
and with violin obligato by her
brother, was one OF the best mum
bers on the program. fer voice is
exceptionally sweet and showed the
results of careful training. She was
compelled to respond to an encore
which she did in a very charmin g
manner. The piano solos by Mis- S
Gagne and Miss McKeown were exc
cuted in a praiseworthy manner, re-
fiecting much credit upon their
teachers.
The violin solos rendered by Ed
Peterson of Washburn were pleas
ant features of the evenings enter
tainment. Never before have we
witnessed an exhibition of such com
plete mastery of this, the m ost diff
cult Of instruments. The solos con-
tanned many very difficult passages
staccato runs, covering the entire
compass of the violin, Strains of
harmony rung out like the whis-
Ting notes of flute.
The vocal solos by Miss Mabel
Peterson were well received. Miss
Peterson hasa beautiful con trait o
voice and her rendictions showed
much training. Observer.

the rear door of Estaque's hardware
store last Saturday evening, and
while Mr.. Estaque was busy in the

the contents of the safe. Mr.. Estaque
noticed him before he could steal
anything, and the fellow Immediately

til Ryan suggested that his actions
were really not being appreciated,
and he might as we'll walk straight,

BETTER CAR SERVICE.
New Terminals at State Fair Add to
Public Comfort.

One of the most important i'm
o rovements at the Minnesota State
Fair grounds this year is the
street railroad terminal station, which
will make it possible for visitors to
travel to and from the fair-from
Minneapolis and St. Paul-with per-
feet comfort. A system of loops and
storage tracks has been constructed
at enormous expense. Operation Ct
this system will be such that passen.
gers will alight almost in the center
of the fair grounds and within 2OC
yards of the grand stand. WI en-
leaving the grounds there will be
found electric cars always standing
ready, and at the close of the after
noon and evening performances there
will be about $50 cars waiting on the
storage tracks and with gates open
so they may be boarded at once
This great supply of cars on the stor-
age tracks will remove the possibility
of discomfort when leaving the
grounds
The state fair will be held this
year from August % to Sept 3rd.
