J. A. Wheeler state game COM
missioner of Illinois, has recently re-
ceived from England $500 pheasant's
eggs, which have been divided among
300 hens on the state garne preserve
south of Springfield. The eggs came
through wrapped in sea moss and only
eight were broke. The time was ten
days. They will begin to hatch the
first week in July and at least 30 per
cent of the eggs are expected to pro-
duce n chick. This makes over 10, 600
eggs of game birds which are under
hens on this farm. The native
pheasauts, of which he possesses 200
hens, are producing from $50 to 100
eggs per day and these are being
placed under the hens. -Sabula Ga

A welcome home such as has seldom
if ever been accorded private citi-
zen in America was given to William
]. Bryan, the great Nebraska COM
moner at New York City last Thurs.
day, when he landed on American
soil, after a years trip around the
world. during which he has been
greeted everywhere as one OF the
greatest of Americans. New York City
was crowded with citizens from all
parts of the country, and a magnifi-
cent testimonial of the confidence and
regard of the American people for his
honesty, sincerity, and exalted ideals
was paid him. Madison Square Gar
den held 20, 600 people, while the
streets were packed for blocks with
those who had come out to see him
and welcome him home. Gov. Folk
of Missouri, Tom Johnson of Ohio,
and many prominent democrats OF
the country were present to welcome
him with their voice and presence, and
the response to the welcome by Mr..
Bryan was pathetic and touching.
1t was a great occasion in honor of the
home coming of great citizen.

SEASONS FORMAL OPENING.
Magnificent Dramatic Production "Parsifal'
to be Seen at the Grand Next Wednes.
day. Sept. IL.

To the many readers and students
of the legendary stories of the holy
Grail" especially as understood in
Wagner's beautiful spectacle of Par
sifal,' his Christian symbolism and
teachings will be readily recognized
and appreciated. One cannot fail to
see in this beautiful work that it was
the intention of the master mind tina,
conceived it to construct work sc
natural and life-like In action, SO hu.
man, moral and instructive in its en-.
tire fabric, that it would for ages en-.
dure as forceful and constant re
minder of its grand and noble Chris
tian lesson. 1t was Wagner S last work.
1t was his greatest. 1t will serve for
ever as glorious monument to his i'm.
mortal genius. If there was no other
work of Wagner's extant, ''Parsi-
fal' would attest as to his wonderful
powers as philosopher, poet and in
tellectual giant. What then must have

left to posterity more than three
hundred works in poetry, music and
prose, and covering the entire field of
philosophy, art and science. And yet
such is but slight part of the history
of the wonder of the ages" Richard
Wagner But it is only of his last and
greatest work we wish to speak, Par
sifal," that wondrous creation of
Wagner's that has stirred the hearts
and minds of men the world over.
It's story, from beginning to end, is
a powerful exposition of the Secret of
Redeeming Love. Can one possibly
imagine a more worthy theme upon
which to build play? Yet the bull
der has constructed so well, illustrated
the subject in so graphic and interest
ing a manner, that it is at once the very
ideal drama from an ethical stand
point, and most thrilling and enter
tanning spectacle as appealing to the
more material senses. One can see iu
it's presentation the God-like teach
ings of it's author. One can also see
in it magnificent and impressive
spectacle, the equal of which has here
tofore never been witnessed, for it's
enhancing story and regal environ
llents. Such a production must
necessarily demand more than the or
binary in equipment, cast and treat
ment, in order to do justice to so wor-
thy theme. These requirements, we
are assured, will be completely full
filled during the engagement in this
city at the Grand Opera house We'd
nesday. Sept. 18th.
Owing to the unusual length of the
peri FINANCE the curtain will raise for
the first act promptly at 40 p.
M. There are four acts, each one OF
which requires about forty minutes
for its enactment. TIE iLtermissioi
are comparatively short and the final
curtain falls at eleven o'clock. 1t is
one of the rules of the performance,
and the management giTes the assur-
ance that the rule will strictly be en-
forced. that every one must be seated
before the theatre is darkened, which
means before the music begins. Late
Corners will not be shown to their
seats until the conclusion of the act.
Warming of the approach for the time
of commencement will be given by
