Everybody who has seen "Quincy
Adams Sawyer" in play form is enthus-
iastic over its unique charm. There
has been nothing in the line of rural
plays to compare with it. All the
scenery has been specially built and
painted for this production and is very
effective in the following acts and
scenes: First act, Benoni Hill's grocery
store; Second act. first scene, the
Crossroads, four miles from Mason's
Corner; (second scene) Mrs. Putnam's
settin room; third act, the Putnam
farm yard; fourth act, exterior and in
terror of the Pettengill homestead.
There are 21 speaking parts and the
company is well cast. Reports from
Wisconsin where this company has
been appearing recently are that both
the play and the comprny are first class
and never fail to please. At the opera
house tonight. You can't afford to
miss it.

The young men who so successfully
conducted the recent Home Coming"
have secured Senator LaFollette of
Wisconsin for an address on the even

meeting is not yet decided upon, but
the Armory will probably be selected.
The Senator is one of the few genuine
political reformers on the lecture plat
form and his addresses are always di-
rect and to the point and create SEN
sation everywhere. He will doubtless
be accorded large audience on his
