CHICAGO. ILL, Dec. i6.- With
the trials of the saloon keepers sched-

closing crusade took mysterious turn
yesterday. Detectives appeared in I'M

Clubs and restaurants we're the

there they found the bar closed and
no drinks being served. At several
other clubbs they were denied admis-

had an easier task in the restaurants.
In scores of cafes in the loop districts
the detectives secured evidence that
d. inks were dispensed on Sunday
Just what body of the forces that

peeled 1t. She then offered some of
1t to the gentlemen when she re-
turned the knife, calmly eating the
balance with seeming enjoyment.

10 Improve Auditorium.

The COURIER heartily concurs
In movement inaugurated by the
Winchester Star, looking to the
enlargement of the stage facilities
and an increase in the safety Of the
Auditorium.
We have only been upon the
stage Ofthe Auditorium three times,
and on two of the occasions we re-
marked to the stage managers of
the plays then being produced there
that the stage was improperly con-
structed. Our view was concurred
in by the theatrical people.
The boxes tone tier on each side
OF the stage) are useless so far as
seeing the stage well is concerned,
and should either be eliminated and
the stage brought forward to a new
alignment, or else and addition
should be constructed at the rear
OF the stage, SO that the boxes can
be placed at the proper angle.
We would like to see the Star
succeed in this very commendable
effort for the welfare, safety and
enjoyment of those who attend the
Auditorium.

"Happyland" an Excellent Show.

Those who braved the rain and
went To Winchester last Wednes-
day night saw an excellent comic
opera superbly presented by De-
Wolf Hopper, assisted by Marguc-
rite Clark and a large company.
"Happyland' was written by
Frederick Rankin, the music being
furnished by Reginald DeKoven.
The solos were excellently rem
dered, and the chorus music was of
an exceptionally tuneful variety.
The only thing which in anyway
marred the enjoyment of Happy
land" was an accident which
shut off all of the electric lights in
the city of Winchester, thus fore
ing the performance to be finished
by very poor gas-light.
