CHICAGO TRIBUNE RATE EXTENDED.
After Several Attempts We Secure Ex-
tension of Time Limit to Jan.
|, 1905.

After writing several urgent letters,
We have succeeded in getting the
Chicago Daily Tribune to extend the
low clubbing rate which we had last
month and have had for three years
past, so that we will be enabled to
get this best American paper for any
one who desires it uutil January LIST.
1905 together with the Public Opinion,
for only So. per year. This is the
best offer We could possibly make our
readers. There is no profit in the deal
for rs, but it is q chance for everyone
to get paper that costs everywhere
else "a. 90 per year for only %. 25 per
year. There is no better daily news
paper in the United States than the
Chicago Tribune, and there is no bet
ter local paper than Public Opinion.
We hope that large number of the
people Of the county will take advan-
tage of this low rate. If you want it.

"The Professors Love story

Mr.. Harry Beresford and his capa
BILE supporting company will come to
our local theater in his new and hu
morous comedy, The Professors
Love Story" ON Tuesday night next
The theme of the play is based upon
the axiom, that one touch of nature
makes the whole world kin The
plot tells the story Of Professor Good
willie, a learned doctor of physics
who, falling i'll, never suspects that
his malady is sudden affection for
a pretty young girl secretary who he
has but recently employed. The first
act tells of his observation-disclosures and
his seemingly senile decrepit old age
which can only be remedied as his
physician prescribes by the aid oi
a woman and a sojourn in the cOun
try. OF course with a theme of this
kind complications follow fast and fu
rious and as a character of this kind
is as clay in the hands of Mr.. Beres
ford, he moulds, fashions and shapes
it in the most exquisite manner, SC
that his audiences will see him in a
characterization that is as clean cut
as cameo, standing in the fore,
