| VILLAGE BELLE.
Successfully and Pleasantly
Presented by Local
Talent.
Given Under the Direction
of w. ]. Tobin as Odd
Fellows Benefit

The rendition of the play THE
Village Belle" by a cast of local
talent, with one or two exceptions,
was the attraction at the Opera
House Friday night. 1t was pre-
sented under the auspices of the
Odd Fellows Lodge, being directed
personally by Mr.. W. j. Tobin, who
spent week or more in training
the young people in the play.
The cast of characters was as fol-
lows:
Uncle Tad Morgan, An Old Far
mer ..................W VIM. j. Tobin
Clarence Howard, Nina's Lover
........................ Ed Schmidt
Jim Bates, alias Frank Dean, A
Gambler ........ Chas. Klncannon

............",......." Hazel Roper
Lydia Morgan. Tad's Sister ........
............"."....M Maggie Mullen
Phyllis Bates. Victim of Cir.
cumstances. Minnie Lee
The play was comedy in three
acts and the scenes were laid on a
farm and in a New York hotel. The
interest was sustained from start to
finish, with variety of laugbable
specialties, dramatic climaxes and
occasionally a touch of thrilling
tragedy. The crowd was large and
applause was generous.
Mr.. Tobin assumed the role of a
down east farmer and kept the
audience in a constant good humor,
in some laughable specialties, intro
ducing the song Uncle Josh, from
Oshkosh" He was cleverly assisted
by Misses Roper and Lee. Miss
Roper, the pretty daughter of the
Chief of Police, showed histrionic
talent in the part of Nina" that
surprised even her friends, as it was
her first appearance as an amateur.
She met the requirements of very
versatile and difficult character in a
thoroughly pleasing manner.
Miss Minnie Lee as phyllis" and
Miss Maggie Mullen as Lydia, an
unmarried lady of uncertain age,
were very successful in their re-
spective characterizations Mr..
Schmitt as the lover and Mr.. Kin
cannon as the villain sustained their
parts like professionals. Mr.. Adwell
and Mr.. Walker were the comedians
and Mr.. Guthrie made an excellent |
detective and Mr.. McCord as the
policeman knew how zone of the
finest" should act on the stage. Mr..
Tobin's little boy was an unusually
smart bell boy.
The play as a whole was well re-
ceived and the young people assist
ing in the performance all deserve
praise. The Lodge realized a nice
sum from the play. !

conditions in Eastern Washington,
and believes that the wheat crop of
1907 will be the greatest ever pro-
duced in the state He said:
Prospects for a mammoth wheat
crop were never so bright as they
are this year. The heavy SHOWS of
last winter thoroughly soaked the
ground, and the moisture is being
retained. The crop will be far great
er than last year and will even sur
pass the mammoth yield of 1905.
Around Harrington, Adian, Edwall
and other easterly wheat sections. the
acreage this year will not be added
to to any great extent. In and about
Quincy, however, the acreage will be
largely increased. The only thing
that can possibly prevent large
wheat crop in the Big Bend country
this year is hot winds in June.-Spo-

A temporary track was built
around the scene of the smashup,
that other delayed trains might pass.
No. 2 east bound was held at chi

Early Sunday morning the wreck
was cleared and the temporary track
laid so that traffic was resumed and

RIVER CLAIMS
ANOTHER ENGINE
WeStbOund No. 1 Wrecked Near Chi
waukum-Fireman' Miracu-
lOus Escape-None Dead

Late Saturday afternoon news
reached Wenatchee of another wreck
on the Great Northern.
Passenger train No. / west bound
pulled by two big engines, came to
grief west of Leavenworth, about
s miles from the Tumwater canyon.
Fireman's Narrow Escape.
The hairbreadth escape of the fire
man on the second engine seems al
most a miracle The first engine
spread the rails, causing the second
engine and mail car to plunge into
the river The engineer was carried
down with the engine, but got adrift
in the river and with the aid of pas
sengers managed to escape drown
ing. How the fireman escaped death
is difficult to understand; hemmed
in the cab of the submerged and
overturned engine, he kept his pres
ence of mind and crawled around
through the running gear-holding
his breath to avoid taking water into
his lungs-and after what seemed to
him an age, made his way to
the surface of the water. Although
overcome from lack of breath, half
drowned and suffering from bad
wound on his head, the man escaped
with assistance from the passengers
and crew, and saving the scalp
wound is none the worse for his ex-
perience.
The first engine of the double
header train in spreading the rails
simply fell on its side, doing no in
jury to either engineer or fireman.
Blocked Traffic.
As soon as possible after the cat
astrophe the wrecking train arrived
from Everett and began clearing

Yesterday the sun shone bright
and clear upon the gray haired pio-
neers assembled at Monitor, and

tuous country dinner.
Over 400 people-old and young
gathered in the grove to enjoy the
music and speeches which marked

Reeves was heard with close atten-
ton, being delivered in that rare
heart to heart style which has

Will Probably Buy Site.
At a business session on Saturday
five trustees were elected, and au-
thorized to negotiate for the purchase
of a suitable site as permanent
meeting place for the Old Settlers
association A committee of three
was named to prepare bylaws and
arrange for a charter. The organi-
zation will probably incorporate, and
sell stock to raise money for the pur-
chase and improvement of grounds.
Immediately across the river from
the proposed permanent site is the
high line ditch, from which water
could be piped with sufficient pres
sure for maintaining fountains, wat
ering the pleasure grounds, etc. The
proposed site is beautifully located,
and could be transformed into an
ideal picnic and pleasure ground
with a minimum of expense.
The Old Settlers annual meeting
just closed was a great success in
every way, and the members are all
enthusiastic in their intention to per-
feet more perfect organization, en-
large the membership, and make
these annual gatherings greater
source of pleasure and enjoyment.
The date for admission to member
ship has been changed as regards
those living in Chelan and adjoining
counties from January /, 1892, to
November 1, 1891.
The trustees will Immediately take
steps looking to the purchase Of a
permanent site at Monitor, or else
where, and to the organization under
the new bylaws.

SLOAN LAKE
CROWS POPULAR
Health Resort Near Ephrata Fast
Becoming Mecca of All
Washington.

o. E. Loving has just returned
from a business trip to Ephrata, in
connection with the health resort
near there in which he is interested
Sloan Lake Sanitarium, common
| ly known at the Soap Lake Hospi-
tal," seems to be forging to the front
as one of Washington best known
health resorts.
Unheardof but a short time ago, it
! is now the objective point of invalids
from all over this state, as well as
from many remote outside points.
In conversation with a World rep
resentative this morning Mr. Loving
said:
I'VE are making improvements as
fast as possible, and enlarging our
buildings to keep pace with increas-
ing business. At the present time
most of our patrons come from the
coast cities with rheumatism, though
we have had them from various parts
of the country.
At the present time people en-
route to Sloan sanitarium alight
from the train at Ephrata, and are
driven 6 miles by stage. The G. N.
has promised to put in a siding for
us, however, which will bring the
passenger within a mile and a quar-
ter of the hotel.
1--WE are preparing to fix up an
adjoining building with billiard tab
les, ETC., as an amusement place.
There are already several skiffs, and
small gasoline launch on the lake,
for the pleasure of guests. The lake
itself is about miles long by p
miles wide, and quite deep. 1t is
absolutely without any life at all, on
account of the nature of the water.
An analysis shows over 2S per cent
of solids held in solution, there be-
| ing over II per cent of sodium car
Donate.
Selling Lots Fast.
I'VE have plated a townsite at
Sloan, and have sold a great many
of the lots already. With the growth
of the resort these promise to be-
come more and more in demand as
private homes. The country around
| is fast coming under cultivation, and
the future of the place looks very
bright to us. We held our first an
nual meeting on the 18th of this
month, and elected officers for the fol-
lowing year. Capitalized as we are at
$4,000 We shall be able to enlf -ge
our quarters and take care of all
who come. At present there are az
commodations for about so guests
Our main building is about 96 by 60
feet, and we are to add a dining
room right away.
Two pumping plants supply the
place with water, one pumping from
the lake itself for the baths, and
the other supplying fresh water from
wells.

VIROQUA CUT OFF
FROM THE WORLD

La Crosse, Wis, July 24.-The re-
ceding of the flood of Sunday and
Monday shows the damage in western
Wisconsin even greater than first re-
ported. Grain and hay crops of three
counties are practically destroyed
while in villages and cities the dam
age amounts to hundreds of thousands
of dollars. East of La Crosse the
damage will take week to repair,
some of the largest bridges having
gone out. Viroqua, the county seat of
Vernon county, has been cut off from
the outside world except by teIe-
phone, since Sunday and will have no
mail for a week.
Not a farm in the La Crosse, Coon
or Upper KickapOO river valleys es
capped damage. The damage to the
five railroads centering at La Crosse
will amount to hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
The fatality list was increased last
night by Charles Thompson, aged 8,
son of Mrs. Sam Olson, living be-
tween Bristol and Purdy, Vernon
county. The boy was carried away
on a chicken coop but lost his hold
and was drowned
