A Worthy Benefit.

\ united effort is being made by the
old soldiers, both the Blue and the
Gray, to establish a National Park at
Pilot Knob, Missouri, which also in
cludes the famous Emerson Park at
lronlon, Mo where Grant received
his first commission. The establish
ment of National Park at this point
means much to the people or st. Fran
co.'s county and vicinity, for there is
not National burying ground in Mis-
souri; and il will not only advertise
this section, but will give us place
where we can take our friends with q
great deal of pride and pleasure.
You now have an opportunity to
contribute to this worthy cause by at
tending the County Chairman" at
the Opera House on the evening of
February lst. We can sag to those
of you who have not seen the play,
that it is late, up-to-date comedy,
written by George AIDE, acknowledge
to be one OF the best playwriters OF
the times. 1t is full OF fun, comical
situations, and has vein Of politics
extending throughout the play that
will amuse you beyond your fondest
expectation. 1t is we'll worth the
price Of admission, and in attending
the "County Chairman" your money
will be judiciously expented in two
ways, first, by furnishing you an even
ing's entertainment, and second, in
aiding in the establishment of a
National Park at Pilot Knob.

The Students Did Well.

Last Tuesday night students of
Carleton College, under the manage
mcnt OF Miss Greene, teacher Of elo.
cution, presented the well-known melo-
drama, "Among the Breakers to a
large and appreciatiye audience. The
play was well staged and we'll acted.
Miss Greene and Prof McFerrin, be-
tween acts, delighted the audience with
reading and music, which were de-
Iightfully fine and greatly appreciated.
Arthur Roberts was perfect as
''David Murray" keeper of the light
and depraved brother of "Bruce
Hunter,n and Larry Devine, his Irish
assistant, was well played by Ben Ar
noldi. Arthur Humphrey, as "Hon.
Bruce Hunter" was good; "Clarencc
Hunter" his ward, was we'll acted by
Oscar Inmau. "Peter Paragraph" "
who changed yocations so often, was
we'll carried out by Van Cloud. VIM.
Blackledge, as "Scud," the colored
man who had so many ancestors, did
the part in good shape. "Nlinnie
Daze," who so delighted in romance,
was we'll represented by Miss Ethel
Chandler, while Miss Robbie Pipkin as
"Bess Starbright," tho sailor girl who
finally proves to be Hunters daughter,
was excellent. Mrs. G. Is. Thomas
was fine as .'Mother Cary" and Miss
Ethel Moore as "Biddy Bean" the
Irish girl, could not have been excelled.

Resolutions OF Respect.

Whereas, Brother Robert Tetey, In
response TO the Divine mandate of
nature, has finished his work on earth
and passed from the lodge militant to
the lodge triumphant, therefore be it
resolved by St. Francois Lodge No.
As | o. q. F., of which he was an
old and honored member,
list. That in the death of Brother
Tetlcy this lodge has lost one of its
most worthy, highly esteemed and be-
loved members; one who ever had at
heart the interest aud welfare of the
order and especially of this lodge; one
who, in all the walks of life, esteemed
1t no less pleasure than duty to
carry out the sublime spirit of "Friend-
ship, Love and Truth,n thus endear-
ing himself to all Odd Fellows.
I'd. That the community in which
he lived so long has lost one of its
best aud most upright citizens, one of
its most trusted aud public spirited
business men, who leaves behind him
life and example well worthy our
emulation.
Sd. That his family has lost a de.
voted and loving husband and father,
and that the sympathies of this lodge
go out to them in the most sincere
coincidence; but while we mourn and
miugle our tears with theirs, we re-
joice in the fact that be has left the
undying heritage of an upright life
that must ever be to them q source Of
