Curdy, in stThe Old Clothes Man" the
play in which he makes his appear
ance here Thursday, is a story of life
in New York and Of the typical exist
ence of an East Side Hebrew. Mr..
Mac Curdy's Interpretation of the part
is strong, both in acting and in make
up. His dialect, actions and wit stamp
him as an actual student Of Hebrew
nature, as well as ap tactical portray
er Of the same. His quick turn of wit
lends great charm to the play, which

Slope Weather Will PrevaiI-Ac-
cording 70 /" Uncle" Amos Robidou the
robins will not begin nesting in this

An Editor BeatenA report comes
from Mandan that Editor w. IN. Suits
man Of the Mandan Republican met
up with q bad beating at the hands Of
a couple Of Mandan politicians. From
the stories which have floated across
the river 1t appears that a deal was
made some time ago for the transfer
of the Republican by Stutsman to the
aforesaid politicians, but some hitch
occurred and the former did not turn
over the plant. AS a result the latter,
or their agents, are said to have
broken into the building and taken
possession by putting new locks on
the doors. These Stutsman is said to
have removed and again resumed
possession when the others arrived
upon the scene and in the mix-up
which followed Stutsman was knocked
out and is now confined to his bed.
It is said damage suits and all kinds Of
things are promised as a result, which
is horrifying to the craft on this side.

brotherly love.
