fiexibility, purity, and range of pure
coIoratura soprano. And she uses it
with absolute raturalness. The ease
with which she attains her climaxes is
to be likened only to Gadski or Sem

pie Next Thursday Night at
WOOdman Hall.

The Ernest Gamble Company will
appear at the Woodman Hall, next

papers of Arizona and California,

from one of the leading papers:
"The audience sat through the pro-
gram as if spell-bound, led from tears
to laughter. from shadow to sunshine,
through all the varying changes of
an artists moods"
The work of each member of the
company is spoken of in terms of
highest praise. Such a treat is for
more than the passing hour, it goes
with us through life. 1t is more than
entertainment, it means culture. You
cannot afford to miss it.

About 1900 voters have registered in
Polk county to date. The total num-
ber Of voters in the county is about
5000. So far the registration is over
whelmingly Republican, the Demo-
Gratis apparently taking little interest
10 the approaching primaries. 1t is
claimed that in some precincts life
long Democrats are registering as
Republicans. Whether these men
have experienced change Of heart,
or have registered as Republicans
merely for the purpose of taking part
in naming the Republican ticket, re-
mains to be seen. One thing is certain: ::
The Indifference shown by the voters
of all parties in registering proves
that the direct primary system is not
as greatly in demand by the people as
its promoters claimed it would be.

At the Woodmen Hall last evening
Mistletoe Circle gave unique enter
tainment illustrating LongfelloW's s
famous poem, Hiawatha. The poem
was read by Mrs Fannie Orr Stenson,
the gifted Rickreall elocutionist, and
quartet sang it.-Dallas Itemizer.
One of the penalties for printing the
news before it happens Mrs Stenson
was detained at home by illness, and
the quartet decided few hours before
the performance began not to sing.
The Itemizer is dated Friday, but is
issued Thursday afternoon. The en-
tertainment mentioned was given on
Thursday evening, several hours
after the paper had reached its town
readers. In his effort to make it
appear that he had reached back for
the news, Brother Wash had to reach
forward for it, and, as consequence,
he didn't get it all.
The printing of news before it hap
pens is regarded as extremely danger
Gus by careful newspaper men, and
the practice is seldom resorted to.
Brother Wash's experience reminds
us of story told by the late Bill Nye.
Bill said that once, while he was run
ming a paper in a small western town,
q musical entertainment was gotten
up by home talent, and printed pro-
grams were circulated few days
before the date of the performance.
OF course, it was expected that Bill
would attend the entertainment and
give it a great "write-up," but it hap
pened that Bill had already made an
arrangement OF his own for that even
ing, and as a result, he found himself
in a perplexing situation. If he attend
ed the performance, he would have to
give up his own "date," and if he
failed to attend, he would have all the
performers down on him, and as these
included the sons and daughters of
all the prominent citizens" Of the
town, Bill was up against it.
Finally, he hit upon II happy idea.
He decided to "make good" all around
by writing the story Of the entertain
ment in advance. With a program
on the desk before him for a guide, he
told of the great success Of the per-
formance, making particular mention
OF the fact that "the gem of the eve
ming was a vocal solo by Miss So-and-
so, the talented daughter Of Major So
and-so, and one of our towns sweetest
.singers," and lot more of the same
sort, laying iton thick while he was at
it. Then he gave the stuff to the com
positor, and went out to keep his en-
gagement
The next morning, after his paper
had been printed and delivered, he
learned to his great chagrin that the
young lady whose singing he had so
highly praised had been taken sud
denly i'll and had not been able to take
part in the performance. For this
awkward mistake" said Bill, II was
greatly laughed at by both Of my
subscribers.

The merchants of Dallas and the
farmers of the surrounding country
cannot afford to let the cheese factory
enterprise slumber. They will never
have better proposition than the one
offered them by Mr. Robinson, aud
they should lose no time in accepting
it. Remember that Mr.. Robinson asks
no bonus; neither does he require any
contract from the farmers. All he
asks is a reasonable assurance that
the milk of $50 COWS will be furnished
from the start, and the factory will
come. Talk it up, gentlemen; don't
let it rest.
