tail, and the capacity of the hall was

courts, circuit and municipal have re-
ceived notice not to commit any more
prisoners to the state reformatory for

fenced to the reformatory must be con-
fined in the county jail until such time
as room can be made for them. An
effort was made to have the state
authorities take immediate action to
provide means for the enlargement of
the institution but too much attention
is given to fool measures and the appeal

Conrad, arrived in the city Thursday
night from Germany, after ten
months absence. Nearly year ago
a relative of Mr.. Kiefer died in Ger

the deceased relative and claim title to
the estate that the family went over
there. 1t was decided upon to remain
there but this decision was later
changed. Mr.. Kiefer had lived so long
in busy America and had been away
from the land of his birth so long that
he could not get used to its customs,
and so he sold his property and packed
up and came back to the land of his
adoption.

dean of the Wisconsin school of agri-
culture, will be present tomorrow even
ing at the banquet of the Wausau Mems
club at MERGERS hall AS many men,
bers of the Wisconsin Shorthorn

pared and a number of citizens will
speak on topics of local interest. AS

On Friday, June 2, and continuing the
entire week, the attraction at the
Grand opera house will be Gould and
Freed's massive scenic production of
"Nettie the Newsgirl." Free from
superlative sensationalism, and abound
ing in love, humor, and all the rest that
goes to make real and stage life alike
entertainment, the story of New York
life is told behind the footlights, and
furnishes varying entertainment for the
lovers of drama. The scenic features
are massive and beautiful, but this does
not detract from the fine, well balanced
company that portrays the various
characters with a snap and vim that
never fails to hold through the play.
The tunnel scene, the old boat house on
the East river, and an old dock at Peck s
Slip, furnish trio of scenic features
we'll worth seeing. The specialties are
also worthy of note, and their introduce
ton serves to relieve the tense strain of
the exciting plot The story is well told,
and consistent in its dialogue, and is
sprinkled by frequent bursts of pure,
clean cOmadV which mayor fails tn
