morning could not state the exact
amount due the Warren company, not
having figured it out, but estimated 1t

from the balance. Clerk Hart's report

plete time could not be checked.
Where the men worked an entire day
under one foreman, in most instances
the time checked out correctly, but
in a number of cases there were a
number of discrepancies. Most OF
these discrepancies were found in the
foremans books, where they showed
more hours were put in than that re-
corded by the official timekeepers. In
several instances the foreman's books
showed a number of men as working
while the timekeeper's books had no
record of such work at all. Attached

discrepancies as found in checking the

logue are full of good wholesome comedy, but the latter must be pruned9 to some extent The music is unusually excellent, catchy airs following one another as fast as is consistent. Katie Barry and John Slavin scored heavily in their parts, though Mir Slavin showed unmistaka- ble signs of nervousness at the start, but became easier as the play pro- gressed. George F. Mack as the pro- lessor won many admirers with his comedy work in his whistling songs won rounds of applause. William P. Carleton was excellent as the Greek nobleman, as were Rose Quinn as Muriel and Della Niver as Madame Woodbury. An unusually excellent bit of character comedy work was done by Sidney De Grey as Anthony Oliver. The costumes, as in all the previous Fisher productions. were costly and worked out in harmonious color effects, while the scenic investi- ture was more than had been antici
 pated, the second act causing an out burst of applause on the rise of the curtain. The groupings could be i'm proved as could be some of the chorus business. It Is safe to say thar With the -necessary changes Map, ager Fisher has another "F'1ofodora" in this piece. The attraction plays here again tonight, after which it plays few cities in this section and then goes into New York for a run.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

The bill at the Jacques this week is good, especially so when the offer- ing of last week is remembered. The Colby family in their musical sketch, At Home, were received enthusi- astically last evening, and made as big hit as last season. Although they do not do as much work as on their previous visitJ they were fully as entertaining and easily captured the first place on the bill. Keno, Welsh and Melrose, comedy aero bats, three clever fellows, have their same act with little or no changes, consequently they did not make the hit they would if some new features were introduced into their number. Girard and Gardner have an act in which there is some fine comedy and the skit is one of the kind that makes person appreciate the theater. The imbibing stunt detracts rather than adds to the. comedy and MT Girard would do well to eliminate this DOT tion of the act. Cayana, the Euro- pean equilibrist. was all right as an opening number, and William A. h. man and company get by in noisy bit of dialogue. Irving Jones. the coonologist, and Rogers and Deeley are as good as the average and the Jacques should be we'll filled the re- mainder of the week

THE COLLEGE WIDOW

The greatest of all George Ade's s comedies, "The College Widow" will f'll an engagement at Polls to-mor- row evening. Some idea of the hit scored by this piece can be gained from the fact that two seasons ago it did record breaking business for more than eight months at the Gar den theater. New York. The scene of tho, play is laid in western col- lege town. Hiram Bolton, captain of industry. on his way to his alma mater. Bingham college, drops oh to pay cali on his old college chum, President Witherspoon of Att water college, and is accompanied by his son Billy. the great halfbaek of the west.

LEONCAVAI.LO.

The sale of seats for the concert to be given in Music hall on Tuesday evening, October 23, by Leoncavallo and the La Scala orchestra, opened yesterday morning at the Bucking- ham pharmacy. The sale was steady and very gratifying to Leoncavallo' s managers. While the greatest rush was made for the dollar seats there was a lively demand for the $1.50 and s2 tickets and the prospects are cheerful for brilliant and represen- tative audience greeting the great Italian composer. Several we'll known people purchased tickets in blocks of ten. The sale will continue up to the night of the concert Many from the surrounding towns have signified their intention of attending, as Waterbury and Hartford are the only two cities in Connecticut 10 be favored with visit from Leonca- vallo.

EARLY Resident OF Decatur County.

Last week postal card was received
at the Leon postoflice addressed to "The

thrown among the mail for rural mail
carrier Delk of route No. ;, who deliver
ed it to Uncle Hiram Hatfield, of Eden
township, the oldest resident of Decatur
county, having resided in this county
for more than sixty years. The card
was from John r. Stanley, who was born
on what is known as the Keller farm
about 1S47, and who left here some 40
years ago being now resident of Lower
Lake, Calf, Mr.. Stanley will probably
be remembered by few of the older
residents. The card reads as follows:

Mrs. Charles F. Combs.

Mrs. Rosa Ann Combs, wife of Charles
+. Combs, died at her home in Leon on
Monday morning, Dec. 10, 1906, at the
age of 40 years, 8 months and 26 days.
She had been in poor health for several
years, but her final illness was only a
few days duration.
The deceased was born in Muscatine
county, Iowa, August Ia, 1866. She was
united in marriage to Charles f. Combs
June 4, 1885, and to them were born six
children, who with the husband are
left to mourn the loss of devoted
mother and loving wife.
She united with the Christian church
some fourteen years ago under Elder
Joseph Porter and lived a consistent
and conscientious christian life.
Funeral services were held from the
home on Tuesday morning at IL o'clock,
conducted by Elder L. Nj. Romine, pas
tor of the Leon Christian church, inter-
ment being in the Leon cemetery.

Forrest Mckinley.

A very sad death occurred at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Harmon McKin-
ley, who live just northwest of Leon,
last Friday, when one of their three
year old twins, Forrest, died with that
dread disease membraneous Group, and
his twin sister, Fern, has been living at
the point of death for several days with
the same disease, but at this writing
has taken change for the better and
it is now thought will recover.
Little Forrest was born Dec. 21, 1908,
being years, II months and 1e days
old. He was an exceptionally bright
little fellow and the fond parents have
the heartfelt sympathy of many friends
in their sore bereavement.
The funeral was held Wednesday af-
ternoon, on account of the nature of his
death being necessarily private, and the
frail little body laid to rest in the
beautiful Leon cemetery.

BURLINGTON" TO STICK.
There Must Be No Change In The
Name of The Road.

The announcement few days ago
that orders had been sent out to the
effect that OH January lst, next, the
name burlington" would be expunged
from the cars and stati merry of the big
system, and that "rhe Great Northern"
substituted, created no end of comment,
and was discussed throughout the
system with regret. darlington people
especially did not like the idea because
of the value of the present name as an
advertisement for the city here and
abroad.
This regret may now he abandoned,
however, as it stated tn. ough what is
considered authentic sources that the
alleged orders for tho change have
been or will soon be rescinded.
Local officials of the road were inclin-
ed to smile when the rumor was first
published, because of The tremendous
difficulties, both physical and legal, that
stood in the way of such change.
They have taken no stock in the state
ment concerning orders having been
issued for the change. No orders were
received in Burlington.
The latest statement is that it has
been found that such change will be
in conflict with the federal laws re-
garding mergers, and the proposition
has been abandoned. The good word
