"HEARTS OF GOLD"

Manager Joe Rhode of the opera
house is to be congratulated upon Sc
curing for his patrons the engage
ment of the successful comedy drama
"Hearts of Gold" which will be seen
here next Tuesday evening. The
story of ''Hearts of Gold" is indeed a
beautiful one and the incidents SO
naturally conceived that at no time
does the action drag or the interest
wane. The play occupies the position
in the American stage literature with
such attractions as "Arizona" and
"B1ue Jeans" 1t is bright and clean,
not overdrawn, and has distinct vein
of comedy which brightens it wonder
fully. The characters are well
balanced and each actor in his or he1
own way appeals especially to the
audience. Theatregoers are assured
of fine production.

City Council Again Takes Up the
Matter Of the Salary of Chief
Of Fire Department
MERCHANTS MUST CLEAN UP
Conncil Notifies Merchants that Waste
Paper Must Be Kept Off the Street
or the Council Will Stop Appro-
priations for Cleaning

The city council is planning to make
an effort to settle the matter of salary
for the chief of the fire department,
= and at the regular meeting of the
" aldermen held on Monday night the
city attorney was authorized to pre-
pare an ordinance for this purpose. It
is. probable that the salary will be
w placed at $1,000 year and that the
city will provide horse for the use
of the chief.
There is some doubt as to whether
or not the council will be able to re-
W tain the services of the present chief
at this small salary and several of the
members of the council are in favor
OF having higher amount authorized
% by the council. 1t is stated that in
many cities the size of Kenosha the
chief of the FIRE department receives
la salary of from 81, 500 to 81, 700 an
90 Inua1ly. Kenosha up to the present
time has hired her chief of the de-
APARTMENT at salary of 5000 year,
but he has not been forced to give
his entire time to the care of the BUSH
90 ness of the departments. In providing
a horse for the use of the chief the
department will secure a horse.that
can be used on the wagons in case
90 such use should become necessary.
The members Of the volunteer de-
partment will hold their annual meet
ling early In January and at this time
40 it is expected that some action will be
taken to have the old volunteer de-
partment done away with and the
city will then have a small income
from insurance taxes which could be
~ added to the salary provided for the
chief. The ordinance which is in the
hands of the committee on fire de-
partment will be presented to the
council at the first meeting of the
- new year. In the meantime an ar
- rangement has been made with Chief
Isermann by which he will continue in
charge of the department..
U1timatum for Merchants
W The counci1 took up the question of
dirty streets and issued an ultimatum
to the Main street merchants to the
effect that they must take some steps
~ to prevent the throwing of waste
paper on the streets. In the event
the merchants do not remedy this
evil the chief Of police has notified
them that the city street commissions
~ ers will be ordered to stop all work on
the street. It is claimed that the street
is no sooner cleaned than it is Uttered
up with papers from the stores, and
that under the circumstances it will
DO be impossible for the street commits
sioners to keep it clean and sanitary.
The council by a decided vote de-
clined to enter into any contract with
Contractor McGovern by which the
10 city was to clean the sewers recently
built by the Chicago man, and Nc
E Govern will be forced to secure some
Outside party to look after this work.
The council ordered the purchase of
1ol an exercising wagon for the use of
the North side fire department. The
remainder Of the time of the session
was given over to routine business.

Mrs. Brown Potter has had sublime
faith in her f1istrionic abilities. She has
been convinced that she is one Of the
greatest actresses the world has ever

About thirty minutes ride west from

chased a farm which she has broughf
under splendid cultivation with her OWN
hands.
Every morning daybreak sees her ar
werk. arrayed in short skirt, loose blouse
and Jacket, a big hat on her head and
a big pair of gloves on her hands.
There is not detail of farm life with
which Mrs. Potter is not thoroughly
acquainted. Though she does not her
self .nlend fences or milk all the cows.
sti1I it is under her personal supervision
that Bray Lodge-the name of her coun-
try estate-has won the reputation OF
being one of the best conducted farms
in her district. AS this is a weii-known
farming center. the distinction Is not
easily won.
Though Mrs. Potter's house from tie
exterior presents an impression of
wealth and comfort, it is only after ore
has passed well within the portals that
ii is realized how well off Mrs. Potter
really must be.

the whole place impresses you at once.
There is nothing OF the stuffy rrefusion

OF the scandal which has been attached
to her name Mrs. Potter has managed
70 retain her standing In English So
ciety, and Is received everywhere today
just as she was when she made her
great hit as the attractive young wife
or James Brown Potter This is largely
due 10 the fact that she was taken up
by the fast set in the days when Ed
ward VIZ was Prince of Wales and has
never been dropped by st.
At one time when Mrs. Potter was In
Washington she created rather a sensa-
ton by reciting "'Ostler joe In tha
drawing room of Secretary Whitney.
The poem brought Washington staid SO
ciety-os those days-up standing. When
she was criticised for the recitation
later she said that she had reciteEs tho
poem to Secretary Whitney first In
the eyes Of many this did net give the
affair any better complexion
Perhaps now that she has failed so
signaily in the theatrical world, A6r@
Potter VIII reire TO her farm at Maiden-
head and give up further idea of acting.
This Is, of course, with the understand
ing that sufficient means be saved oue

About twenty years ago this barber
