work
"Reynolds proved himself to be IA
wonder and quite a surpris to the
college men, as well as the midship
men, as no one knew he was a good
enough pitcher to fool the expert
enced Navy batters as he did,"

stood until two years ago, which was
remodeled and enlarged to the fine brick
that now stands on the Klein & Sutmar
corner. Mr.. Peabody owned the old

At Risk of His Life.

AT Risk of His Life is a new play
written by Mark E. Swan. It has been
one of the great successes in melodrama
in the east, and is offered this season
by Chase and Lister for the first time
in repertoire. We can safely guarantee
that it is the first production of the
piece in your city, as the play has never
been done outside of the larger eastern
cities until this season. It is a melo-
drama filled with new ideas and novel
situations, the interest beginning with
the first act and continuing throughout
the action Of the play. The comedy is
strong, and the plot original, and it is a
play we can recommend.
New and alluring specialties will be
introduced during the action of the play.
To be presented by the Chase-Lister
Theatre Co. at the opera house, Satur-
day, Jan. 9Th. Prices adults so cents,
children 25 cents.

G. H. Bell sold the Oakes Steam
Laundry last Thursday to ]. H. Dem

possession Monday. This disposes of
the idea Of the second steam laundry
for Oakes, something which has been
contemplated for several weeks. The
laundry has been splendid paying

chinery has been added as the patron
age warranted until it is one of the
best equipped steam laundries of this
section of the country.
The new proprietors, Messrs. Denning
and Moore, are strongly backed finan-
cially and have the ability to handle
the trade in a way that will increase
and retain the business. When spring
opens the plant will be moved to the
Andrews Flat building, on Second
street, recently purchased by the new
proprietors and where opportunity will
be given for enlarging and increasing
the business. Henry Severson takes
the position as head laundryman.
Mr.. Bell has his eye on the coast

The Northwestern Bulletin.

1.-THE Northwestern Bulletin, De-
voted to the Interests of the Chicago &
North Western Railway and it's En-
ployes" is the title of a publication, the
initial number of which has recently
come from the press. It is published
by the North Western Line for distri-
button to station agents and other en-
ployes interested in the handling Of
traffic.
On the various divisions of the road
the agents have organized local Agents
Associations, one for each division, and
at their monthly meetings various prob
lens that confront the local agent in
the performance Of his daily duties are
discussed, experiences recited and new
methods suggested for the betterment
of the service. These discussions re-
suit in much practical good to all con-
cerned.
The interest manifested by the
management of the rth-Western
Line in these agents meetings and the
value placed on their expressions, is
indicated by the opening paragraph of
the Bulletin:
"The papers which have been read
from time to time at the meetings of
the Station Agents Associations on the
various divisions of the Chicago &
North Western Railway have indicated
careful thought and keen appreciation
of conditions.
''They have been of such interest and
inspiration to the officials of the road
that it is deemed advisable to secure q
wider distribution for as many of them
as possible.
When the management of corpora
tion freely declares that the views of
their local subordinates ''have been of
such interest and inspiration" as to call
for the trouble and expense of giving
them wider distribution among officers
and fellow employees, it is obvious to all
that existing industrial problems are in
a fair way to meet a solution along the
most satisfaction lines to all concerned.
The employees Of the Chicago & North
Western Ry., it seem to the editor, are
to be congratulated upon this movement
which serves to bring them into closer
touch with their superiors, many of
whom have grown up with the growth
of the road and advanced to places of
responsibility from the lowest ranks.
! Much of the strength of our railways
today is due to this training, selection
and promotion, by which the most hum
BILE member of the working staff is en-
couraged to climb the steps Of the
official ladder by right of individual
merit and hard work, and the modest
sheet referred to will go a long way
toward establishing an increased conf
dence and good feeling that means much
for employees.
