THE TRAINING SCHOOL

In respect to this institution OF
learning, and TO the proposition tC
construct a home for it introduced
too late in the meeting of the county
| board last week, the Marshtield
papers had TO this say:
1T would seem that the board ex.
ercised good judgement in delaying
the action on this project. 1t has
Gever been generally exploited in the
county aud the supervisors have had
no opportunity to ascertain the senti.
ment OF their constituents. Few
question the advantages of the school
but its location at Grand Rapids
would not necessarily follow. Marsh
held is entitled to the school if it is
established and is better position
than the county seat TO take care of
it. The board would be very unjust
to act on the matter without receiv-
ing an offer from this city as we'll as
Grand Rapids, as there is absolute y
nc reason why the school should be
placed at the county seat as this city
draws from much larger and better
county territory.-TimeS.
When the training school was
opened in portion of the new Grand
Rapids high school it was understood
that the rooms could be spared for
long term of years. 1t has not Deen
shown now that the city is in need of
the portion taken up by the train
ing school for high school purposes.
or is it likely to for five or ten years
to come. 1t would seem to be wise
and economical therefore, to take
new lease of the present quarters
which fully answer all requirements.
1t also might be suggested to the
supervisors from Grand Rapids that
when the time comes for constructing
building for a county agricultural
and teachers training school, the
claims of Marshfield should be con.
sidered. 1t is no more than just and
proper that this city should share, in
at least small way, the public in
stitutions of Wood county. Such a
disposition of these matters between
the only two large cities of the county
would make it more agreeable for all
parties concerned.

ion to the lines of instruction which

best result from his efforts in farming
and stock raising, The only require
ment for entrance is that the young

the course promptly. ,s

MEDICINE LICENSE
is REQUIRED

Apparently there was something
back of the investigation asked from
the government by several weekly
publications in the east recently in
respect to the ingredients of certain
patent medicines. Golfers was the
strongest advocate of such an in
vestigatioD, and exposed what it con-
sidered the fraud in the sale of these
medicines. The federal government
investigated the charges made by this
paper, that many patent medicines
were but distilled spirits with a very
small amount OF other ingredients tS
added.
The result of several of these in
vestigations has just been published,
and as result, manufacturers and
druggists will, after January first

HUMPTY DUMPTY AT DAVID
SON MILWAUKEE, DEC. 3

The mighty beauty spectacle
"Humpty Dumpty,' the latest and
greatest of the London Drury Lane
productions brought to America, will
be presented by Klaw & Erlanger at
the Davidson theater in Milwaukee
during the week of Sunday, December
3, offering matiness on Wednesday
and Saturday. The big extravaganza
comes to Milwaukee direct from two
months run at the Auditorium,
Chicago, with the original cast and
great ensemble of $50 people and with
all the gorgeouSnesS of scenic environ
ment, superE costuming and novel
stage craft which characterized its
run all last season at the New Amste1-
dam theater in New York.
''Humpty Dumpty" is said by the
New York and Chicago critics to be
the most remarkable of the series of
extravaganzas which have been
brought to this country by Klaw s.
Erlanger from the famous Drury
Lane theater where they originate.
In elaborate scenic display, endless
variety of lavish costumes, beautiful
tableaux, and superb groupings, the
three acts and fifteen scenes embodied
in the presentation are the acme of
spectacular splendor.
The first scene shows the Palace
Wall, which changes like magic into
another entitled the Enchanted Wood
which is quickly followed by a rep
resentation of the Fairy Forest, in
which trOup of aerialiSts known as
the Grigolatis flying ballet, float
through the air in a representation of
the FrOlic of the Birds, forming
beautiful tableaux as they hang sus-
pended midway between the stage
and the utmost line of sight. The
Sirens Home, the Animals Retreat
and the City of Coral are scenes
staged with dazzling Splendor. the
effects being augmented by troops Of
richly coStumed fairy land folk, who
in the successive scenes are composed
in grouping arranged with an artistic
eye to color effects. just before the
final curtain four tableaux of extra
ordinary beauty are shown, represent
ing four seasons of wedlock, accom-
panied by series of elaborate ballets
"Humpty Dumpty,' as the name
might imply, is not pantomime, but
a performance sparkling with dia-
lOgue, catchy songs. and novel
specialties. The main factors of the
acting cast are Frank Moulan, Maude
Lillian Berri, George Schiller, Nellie
DAILY, troup of flying Grigolatls and
$40 others, all contributing to the
revel of fun and melody, making
"Humpty Dumpty" the most pre-
tentious offering in theatrical history.
During this engagement the even
ing performances will begin at 8
O'Clock and the matinees at 2 O'Clock.
Mail orders are now being filled at
the Davidson theater box offices, the
scale of prices ranging from so cents
to $3.50.
