Beer Will Cost More.

Saloonkeepers and their patrons
have new jocose greeting nova
days which is as follows: Drink
down your beer quickly, before il
goes up" 1t is very faint smile
that accompanies the remark, how
ever, tor they have reason to be-
lieve they are stating the truth
when they say beer is going up,
meaning, of course, the price, not
the product.
1t is stated that an increase in the
price of beer is likely to be declared
within the next thirty days,
although the price may not go into
effect until the first of December OF
the first of January. Barley, which
on October s, 1906, was quoted in
the Chicago markets at from 80 to
81 cents bushel, was listed Tues.
day at 88 cents to $1.O5 a busEel, an
increase of about 100 per cent
Barley is the grain from which malt
is made and if the new pure food
law is rigidly enforced, malt oc.
cup1es prominent part in the
manufacture of beer.

Seven kinds of royal time at
the Woodmen nall Friday night.
Come.
Some people think it a mystery
that Notwithstanding good advice
their boys grow up tokbe wild and
reckless young men. If these boys
were taught from infancy that the
home was the proper place for them
after dark rather than prowling
around the streets, annoying we'll
and sick people alike, much Of this
mystery might be explained, and
young men with better moral char
acter and more intelligent minds
would be the result. No parent
need expect pure morals in boy
that p1owls the streets at night,
even if he does go to Sunday school.
The appearance of Mary j
Holmes delightful novel, Tempest
and Sunshine" dramatization by
Lem B. Parker, is an event that
should be looked forward to with
interest by our theatre goers. The
scenery is beautiful, everything
used in the representation being
carried by the company. The
costuming is quaint and pretty, the
gowns being of airy summary
stuffs, made in the fashion of 1850
which is the period Of the play.
Beautiful southern melodies are in
troduced throughout the play with
great effect The story is both
strong and interesting, and is re-
lieved with much comedy which is
contributed by the darby servants
as special entertainment for their
masters and mistresses, who are Of
the Southern aristocracy. Tempest
and Sunshine" is one of the bic
successes of recent year sand no one
who enjoys a first class play, pre-
secuted in first class manner should
fail to see Tempest anu Sunshine"
to be seen at Reeds opera house on
Thursday, Oct. IL.

The successful dramatization of
Mary j. Holmes popular novel,
Tempest and Sunshine by Lem
B. Parker, has given w. 7. Mann
an opportunity of producing this
popular novel in its entirety for the
benefit Of admirers of Mary J.

sizes clearly the direct opposites in
temperament Of Tempest and Sun
shine" two beautiful Southern girl S
brought into prominence, by the
oveable>character of one and the
devilishness OF the other, who by
her deceit and hypocr1cy causes all
manner of direful disaster in con-
sequence of which innocent/ parties
are made to suffer for the guilty.

soldiers monument at Jacksonville.
that earthly hell where thousands of
Union soldiers persisted niserably
of starvation, filth and murder.
It is fitting that the brave boys who
endured more suffering than mind
can imagine should be TINS re-
membered, for their contribution TO
the cause of Union triumph was as
valuable as the services rendered
by the boys in the field. The dedica-
ton of this Wisconsin monument

ton of Wisconsin people. A special
train for Gov. Davidson and staff
and a large number OF people left

The Autumn Season.

AS a rule the autumn season in
this part of the country is one of
the most pleasant and enjoyable
periods OF the entire year. Winter,
with its cold and SHOWS and biz
yards, also has it's compromising at
fractions and advantages, out it is
nevertheless fact that most people
look forward to it with a more or
less pronounced feeling of dread,
while after they have dragged
through several months of it they
are exceedingly glad to welcome the
return of milder weather, and the
softer and more salubrious days of
spring and summer. But spring,
in turn, while 1t possesses many
features that are pleasing to the
senses and highly enjoyable, con-
ta1ns much that is not so pleasant,
in the shape of raw and rainy days,
sloppy footing, and conditions that
are naturally trying to health and
detrimental 20 personal comfort
Summer is 6. season of joy and
gladness, with it's opportunities for
outdoor sports and pleasures and
recreations, but not all are entirely
satisfied with it's extremes of heat,
coupled with such prevalent nuis-
ances as flies, mosquitoes and bugs,
while the danger of thunder storms
and tornadoes keeps some Of the
more nervous ones in a state of con-
slant dread and trepidation.
With autumn, however, comes a
season that ordinarily fills the souls
of nearly everyone with feeling OF
rare delight and satisfaction. When
the weather is at it's best at this
period of the year the days are
warm enough for thorough personal
comfort in all outside occupation,
with the nights just cool enough to
be bracing and exhilarating, con-
ditions that are perfect for sleep and
rest and thereby directly conductive
to health and that calm and settled
state of mind that trends toward
contentment, peace and unalloyed
| happiness. 1t is also the harvest
season of the year when man
gamers the fruits of his labors and
views the results with complacency
and satisfaction. Nature herself il
most benign at this period of the
year, and the hazy, mellow atmos
phere pleases the senses until one
naturally falls into the mood Of
floating unconcernedly with the tide
of time, like the lazy, variegatet
leaves, which blow hlther and thith
er at the caprice of each passing
breeze.
Truly autumn is a season of uni
versal peace and enjoyment, and
foolish indeed the person who fails
TO yield to the fasclnatiOns and
alluring attractions that abound or
every hand at this period of the
year. True such conditions cannot
last for always, and with the mex
orable march of time we will soor
be up against grim winter, with it'
boisterous, insistent methods an(
sharp reminders of the power o.
Jack Frost, but after all who cares
so long that one knows that ever
winter cannot hold sway Longer
than It's allotted time, and that
afterward we willsagainbe marching
through another spring and summer
| to that most perfect season of thc
year-fair autumn, with it's soft
seductive and sense satisfying at
fractions.
