= Artists from the Dewey theater in
Minneapolis and the Star theater at
St. Paul gave a vaudeville entertain
meat yesterday before the 800 or moro
prisoners at the penitentiary at Still
water. The players scored a hit. The
audience responded and wanted more:
Even the most sullen prisoners smiled
and were betrayed into evidences Of
enthusiasm.
This was especially true when little
Gertie De Milt, dancer and singer,
flashed before them. They howled their
enthusiasm. =
Another performer who pleased the
critical audience was Miss Charlott
Condo, the southern nightingale Of the
"The Masqueraders. ," Miss Condo g
southern ballads won hearty responses.
While the prisoners applauded the
singing, they went wild over the slap
bang Of the usual vaudeville, and one
colored convict let out a wild whoop
of approval for w. E. Browning g
Alexander,' which sounded as if it
came direct from the thickets Of the
Congo.
After the performance the prisoners
were given two hours holiday in
honor Of Washington IS birthday, with
privilege in the corridors, which they
improved by putting on a little vaude-
vile Of their own. The visit Of the
theatrical folk was arranged by Man
ager Singer of the Dewey theater.

WORK. IN PLENTY
Agencies Are on the Out
look for Day Laborers. -

The outlook for new railway construc-

has started an early activity among the
Minneapolis employment offices. It is
reported that some 600 miles of road
will be built by the 500, Great Northern
and Northern Pacific roads this season,
for which preparations have been made.
Much of the work has already begun
and all day and station men that can be
booked are being moved to the camps.
It is reported by employment agencies
that the work under contemplation with
the general northwestern Industrial out
look will make a call for force of
10000 men, and as free fare is offered,
there will be little excuse for idle men
from March until fall.
Minneapolis has come to be looked
upon as the greatest labor market in
the country, not only for the large mum.

work, but for their excellent standard
