TO Die at Dawn

From the day she first began to
walk and talk. Miss Georgiana Ed
dings, who plays the dual role of the
two sisters in TO DIE AT DAWN"
displayed a marked prediction for
the stage. When mere child in
pinafores, she would strut about the
room, playing imaginary roles that
only existed in her imaginative brain.
Her father, noticing her tendency in
that direction decided to encourage it
and at once had her learn number of
classic roles. At the age of seven,
when only three feet tall, it was her
delight to play Cassius to her six
foot fathers Brutus, the disparity in
SIZE being wholly lost in her earnest
ness in the part. The same zeal that
characterized her juvenile attempts
has chung to her IN her insurer years
and gives the rendition Of roles pro-
trayed by her that conscientious fin
ish without which they would lose
much of their strength. Hers is the
work of an artist. ITO DIE AT
DAWN, with Miss Eddings, Emern
Horner and Frank E. Moore, in the
leading roles, supported BY very
clever company Of dramatic artists
and vaudeville entertainers, will be
seen at the Opera House on Tuesday
Sept. "a. The big railroad scene in
the second act, THE Flight of the
Limited Express" is said to be a
master piece of stage craft.

Protoplasn is living. transparent
viscid substance Of proteid character,
containing 70 per cent Of water. #
eoagulates with heat at 1870 degrees
and dies when the body Is raised to
this temperature. As only dead proto-

analysis It Is difficult to determine its
chemical nature. Its nearest allies are

which the white Of an egg Is good
example. OF the real nature Of proto-

Ellsworth.
From the News:

From the news:
The managers of the "big pumkin
show" at Worthington have refused to
grant E. II. Burfeind an opportunity
to conduct display of healing COM
pound, for cuts and gals on horses,
etc. In view of the fact that Mr.. Bur-
feind was given one of the prominent
spaces on the state fair grounds at
Hamline last week, the action of the
officials of the Worthington fair is a
peculiar and striking illustration of
their method OF building up the fair.
The only reason apparent for their
refusal of Mr.. Burfeind's application
is the probability that the granting Of
the concession might interfere with
business practice of member of the
fair board. We doubt if Mr.. Burfeind
will permit them to freeze him out in
this manner and we look for him to
be up and doing after this kind of
treatment.
Ellsworth exhibitors at the Lyon
county fair won their share Of the
premiums in all classes where they

first on trio of Rhode Island Red

THE GREEK MYRMEx. ]

Il Was the Dsadlisst Weapon Of ~
.. ~ RI = Ancient Pusillst.
The four ounce glove was unknown
to the ancient pugilist. When tho
boxers and fighters came together IN
the old days Of Greece they wore up
on their hands the cestus, which was
in itself terrible adjunct to- any
fighter. But DR.. Daniel G.. Briton dis
covered that there was sometimes at
tached to the cestus a deadlier -weap-
on, consisting Of, three pronged fork
Of bronze. a
This was known as the myrmex. and
Dr.. Brinton, who found this specimen,
gave it to the museum Of archaeology
In the University Of Pennsylvania.
Classical literature has frequent ref
erences to the myrmex, which is de-
scribed as the deadliest weapon Of the
ancient pugilist. The right hand was
swathed in tough hide, bound in place
with thongs and. supplemented by
small knobs Of lead or iron, to which
was affixed the myrmex. DR.. Brinton
made his discovery in Paris by ex-
aiming the Greek and Roman mar
bles in the Louvre. One Of these
groups represented a fighter bearing
on his right fist the cestus and myr-
mex. x:sa.ss,ssl ~. e,
Combats in those days were much
more brutal and dangerous than those
Of the modern prize ring. Il is easily
