Fields TheateT company's mammoth
production will be the attraction at
the Illinois theater, appearing at this
popular playhouse on Monday. Jan. 81.
This mere announcement cannot carry
with it the full strength of the event.
There was a time when such attrac-
tiOns as 1T Happened in Nordland'
were denied local theateTgOers, because
of the fear of managers that there
would be speculation on the merit of a
New York success en- tour. but lately
it has been demonstrated that the big
gest offerings can be brought to the
doors of the people, and hence the
wedding of a great many ordinary
bookings, and the advent of shows
that are worthy of price and patron
age. ut Happened in Nordland'' comes
with practically a special train, for
two modern coaches are required to
handle the company, and two of the
largest baggage cars are used to trans
fer the great quantity of scenery and
effects used in this wonderful success
so cleverly conceived by Glen Mac
Donough and Victor Herbert The
company is complete and the chorus is
one of the most attractive on the road.
The music is of the sort that fingers,
and there is a vein of comedy that
blends excellently with the spectacu-
lar. There are so many songs in at
Happened in Nordland" that every
taste is gratified

Der OF fares and the business done.
The data thus gathered. IL is said,
has been forwarded to q Fittsburg
capitalist, said to be behind the road.

have decided that the line would re.
turn dividends. Because OF this de-
cision II Is stated that work win be

They are soliciting orders fol

It merely registers manufacturers so
as to keep track of them when they

that you appear as witness against
them in any prosecution that We may

to come UP higher" Deceased was
the mother of Mrs. J, B. Mooney of

made her many friends among our

In addition to Mrs. Mooney, two

The Death Angel visited the home
of our friends Mr.. and Mrs. III. T.
Walls, early yesterday morning, and
bore therefrom the gentle spirit of
their little 9-year-old daughter, Es-
telle. This little girl had been i'll
for the past two months, but the ty-
phoid fever from which she suffered
had yielded to treatment, and for
the past two weeks she had been
considered on a fair way to recoy-
cry; but she suffered q relapse on
Tuesday, her enfeebled system could
not recover from the shock, and
slowly but surely the lamp of life
fiickered and went out.
1t was a severe shock to the COM
munity to learn of her death, for she
was exceedingly popular; and to her
parents the blow is exceptionally
heavy, for she was their only re-
naming child. 10 them, in the
darkness which encompasses them,
we would point out the light that
never faileth-the light that shone
on Calvary, and closer to that light
may the influence of the loved ones
gone before ever lead their footsteps.
