.sONLY A WOMAN'S HEART''
To be Played Tomorrow Night
al the Opera House. Don't
Miss IL,

The members of the dramatic club
who are in the cast of ''Only Wom-
ans Heart" have been putting in
much time on the play, which merits the
attendance of everyone tomorrow
evening at the opera house.
Mr.. Archer, the director will b
seen as "Jerry, the Outcast This
is one of Mr.. Archers best inpersona.
tions. You will see the better side Of
man, and the good that can como
from the heart under the rough ex-
terror. He has always made big
hit wherever he has played Jerry"
Miss Lois Snyder, as France, the
disputed possession, has perfect
rendition. Her conception of the role
is womanly and honest, prompted in-
to action by her great loye for her
foster parents and fiance. The perse.
cutions OF her cousins, supply the IT,
tie, "Only a Woman's Heart" Miss
Snyder's rendition will be pleasing
and admirable to her many friends.
Whatever you do, don't fail to SEQ
the impetuous and saucy little Sadie,
"a sery ant in Col. Lees house,-im-
personated by Miss Helene Owens.
She will give you smile that won't
come off.
The stately and dignifed Mrs. Lee,
who married the Col for better or
worse, is carried out perfectly by
Miss Mayme Nixson. See her and
you will see the true rendition of the
broken-hearted mother, pleading for
her daughter she so dearly loves.
When the Col. is threatened with a.
nancial disaster, Mrs. Lee again
shows the spirit of the true wife-en-
couraging inste.d of repro aching the
Col. for his foolishness in trusting
his money in the hands of Black burn.
his nephew.
Jack orthington-Archer Adams
the dashing and impetuous young
suitor for Miss Frances hand, is al
ways on hand at the right time (just
the wrong time to suit Black burn,-
DR.. Ferguson) who does not give up
the fight for his pretty Cousins hand
until the last chord has been played.
Then you should see him eat humblo
pie.
The play is full of beautiful climax
es rspersed with ridiculous incl
dents. Don't miss it.

A LADY CANDIDATE.
With Education, Experience
and Ability.

Elsewhere in the paper ap-
pears the announcement of Mrs.
A. S. Raberge for county super
intendent of schools. This does
not come as a surprise TO the
people of the county, as Mrs.
Raberge has for some time been
urgently requested by promi-
nent citizens in different parts of
the county, to be d candidate for
this office.
It is we'll known that Mrs.
Raberge is we'll qualified for the
Office to which she aspires, hav-
ing been faithful aud capable
assistantin this office during the
last three years; and she is well
acquainted with the work of the
office and the schools of the
county; and if elected she would
have the assistance of Mr.. Ra
berge.
Mrs. Raberge's educational
ad vantages have been of the
best, having received her edu-
cation in Massachusetts, in
which state she had several
years experience in teaching be-
fore coming to South Dakota.
Of the fifty three county sup
erintendents in the state, eigh-

AS has been prev iOusly announced,
Prof. Emmett McKenna will be q
candidate before the republican coun-
ty convention for the Office of superin-
tendent of schools for Grant county.
Although Mr.. Mckenna has large
circles OF friends and acquaintances
who know his ability, it might be we'll
to give the public little insight into
his career. He came to Grant county
when child with his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Jas. K. Mckenna, who we're
among the earliest to settle in this
valley. AS dutiful son he worked
on the farm, meanwhile receiving his
early education from the district
schools. Later he attended the Mil
bank high school and then taught in
the rural schools of the county for
| five years with much success. He then
attended the State Normal school at
| Whitewater, Wis, and finally gradu-
ated from the Northern Normal and
Industrial school of Aberdeen, as
president of his class, which gave
him state certificate.
Prof. McKenna served as principal
of the Eureka public schools, and la
ter was rendered the superintendency
Of t h e Edgeley schools, which
trust he efficiently performs at pres
ent. In connection with his regular
school work, he has been one of the
institute instructors of the state.
| Prof. McKenna is an instructor by
nature and from his earliest boyhood
has always taken keen interest in
the educational aft airs of the county.
| When the teachers of Grant county
organized the Dormitory Association
of Simpson Park, he was elected as q
member of the first board of irectors
and has constantly been share hold
er in that association.
Emmett, as we have always known
him, has always been popular where
ever known, and his many friends
throughout the county feel that they
are not demanding too much when
they ask for liberal support at the
next republican convention.
