BEN HUR
Again To Be Staged In Wash
ington

The Klaw & Erlauger Com pany
have, in their time, made many no.
table productions ard thereby earned
tor themselves an 9aviable reputation
The most ambitious effort of their
Carelr Is Ben Hur. which scored
brilliant success 10 Washington three
seasons ago and which is booked for
another Engagement at the National
Theatre the week of May /, with Il
matinee Oh Wednes ay and Saturday.
The Scent equi Jmeut to be used in
the staging tits season is that which
created a tuIore in London three yeas
ago, when Ben HUI" was introduced
to the English public at the Drury
Laue Theatre. These effects were
part of the World Fair run of Ben
Hur" at the Olympic Theatre, st.
Louis, this past suns er and the en-
gagement just played at the Big Au-
ditorium Theatre, Chicago.
No play produced within the four
walls of theatre has scored success
equalling this Impressive and fasci-
rating romance, Although dealing
with the most delicate subject in Il e
history of the stage, its freedom from
anything that might CRATE upon the
nerves OF the most eii!iously sensi
tive, has earned the endorsement Of
the very best people in every c, m-
munity.
To describe FBen Hur" reference
must be made to it as a series Of mag
nifcent pictures illustrating the tine s
OF the Messiah on earth. Conspicuous
are the Star of Bethlehem, 1.-THE City
of Jerusalem, flo Il the terrace garden
OF the Palace oil Har in Juiea, the
Interior OF a Roman galley" "the
Grove of Daphue, III Fountain OF
Castalia,,' "ihe realistic Rom n
chariot race in which eight hor. es
struggle for supremacl, "the Waive
OF Hinuon," and 1.-The Mount Ct
! Olives " All are remarkable exhibits
of the best scenic art. To these are
added some wonderful effects in cleo
trio lighting as in 1.-The Star OF Beth
leher,." where IS 900 electric lights
of ~ candle power are used to furnish
its powerful ray.
The advance sale of seats for the
Washingto1 engagement opensThurs-
day morning April 27th, at mir
O'Clock. w. II. Rapley, Manager Of
the National Theatre, Washington
announces that all out of town orders,
/ il accom- panied by cash or money
O, der will be filled as soon as the
regular box Office sale opens. This IS
/ for the accommoda ton OF suburban
patrons as reduced rates are announc-
ed ON all railroads and a large attend
auSe is expected.

HIGn SCHOOL 1T PARKER.
Football Team Didn't Get Any to
Good Treatment at Parker
Saturday.

The high school toys say that when.
they went to Parker Saturday to play
the high school boys that they run
into bad bunch. In the agreement.
with the Parker team they were al
lowed to play three men outside Of
the high shcool and they were to pay
s2O.0 of the expenses. But when our
boys arrived at Parker they found
that instead OF putting in three out
side men they wanted to put in seven
Of che biggest men In town. some Of
whom were men who had played in
eastern college towns. Our boys OH
iected to this but as Johnston and
Disbrow got left they agreed to let
Prof. Breckenridge play and as Par
ker would not play unless they could
play their seven outside men the
game vas started. a lot of the Par
ker fellows seemed to be out for all!
the fight there was in 1T. Referee
Rempfer did not suit them and they
wouldn't play unless he was. put out
and two or three OF their big men
wanted to lick Breckenridge. The
Parker bunch seemed to be disposed
not to put up fair game and at the
end of " minutes playing the game
broke up with neither side making a
score.
\ The Parker boys had their $1,000
raised but all our boys got out of the
deal was twelve suppers which Editor
King paid for and our boys. came
home about S3s. 90 III debt.
The Parker boys we're up here corn
palace week and we beat them by a
score Of to 0 with a straight high
school team and the trouble with
Parker was chat they were afraid to
play even with three outside men.

In business here now VINO was enroll
ed as a Mitchell business man at the
time Mr.. Gale started in. He has
unse ltishly devoted much of his time
to Mitchell's greatest enterprise, as
president Of the corn palace, and he
has been largely interested in the
success of the palace since its incept-
ion in 1892. Mr.. Gale, however, will
continue to reside in this city tolook
after his property interests. He owns
six business buildings and some real
state that will take much Of bis time,
and he expects to 20 more extensive
ly into Mitchell holdings.
OF the new firm MIR. Brown is we'll
known in Mitchell having been the
head clerk in the Gale establishment
for the past IA years. He is gentle
man who has inspired the greatest
confidence of the people of the city.
and country by his very close .appli-
cation to osbusiness, for his reliability
and promptness and his very cordial
manner in handling the trade .. the
store. The Republican is very glad
to know that MIR. Brown is numbered
among the business men OF the city
Mr.. Diehl has been in the drug bus
ines at Scotland for the past twenty
one years, and five years previous to
that he was engaged in the same
line in Iowa. He is registered
pharmacist. He comes to Mitchell
with the highest Of Recommendations
and aside from getting hold of a fine
drug business he wanted to come to
Mitchell to give his family the bene-
lit OF the splendid schooling advan-
tages. The firm of Dlehl Il Brown
will make very strong one, and The
Republican wishes it the best of
success.

the last half three. but BrookinRe,

AFTER QUARTER CENTURY
Z. o. Gale Disposes of His Drug Bus
mess That He. Conducted
so Long.

so Long.
The announcement that L. o. Gale
has solSi his drug, book and jewelry
business will come as something in
the nature of a surprise to the
friends and customers of-that gentle
man. Yet it is fact ..and Monday
he turned the business in its en-
tirety over to Mr.. v. b. Diehl, of
Scotland, and Mr.. e. e. Brown, Of
this CITY.
1t was just twenty-five years ago
that Mr.. Gale erected a small build
ing on the present site of his larger
building on Main street and opened
his drug slore for business, and he
has continued d it without intrerupt-
ion, except the time of the fire in
1884, to the present day. 1t was in
1873 that Mr.. Gale came out from
Iowa and located down at Rockport,
In Hanson county, and started a
small. .hotel, and IN the spring Of the
following year he came to this vici-
nifty and erected the first shanty
around here on what.is known as the
Platner place, Joining the townsite
on the south. He sold his claim
several months afterward and then
started -his-drug business. In 1884,
he, Will, other merchants, was burned
out and he lost practically everything
he had, but with an indomitable
spirit he erected a much larger build
ing and put In q larger stock, which.
up to the present time is practically
one Of the finest stocks in the north
west, and his fine store was known
all over the northwest. With each
succeeding year bis business has In
creased steadily and he will turn over
very lucrative trade to his sue
cess0rs.
The Republican regrets his retire
ment from the business circles Of the
city and he IS the last Of The oldt:me
business men. there not being . man
