That tobacco can he success fully
raised in Central MINES ota is the
opinion of Theodore Marx, ST. Wen
del farmer. Mr.. Marx formerly re-
sided on a farm about Is miles from
Madison, Wis where he owned 20
acres. large part of this was cul-
tivated to tobacco, which he raised
for years. Desiring to come to Mime
sofa Mr.. Marx sold out his farm for
S95 an acre and bought a 200 acre
farm in this county. The large price
of $95 an acre was paid for land
which was hilly and almost valueless
if located in this section OF the coun-
try. Mr.. Marx is an expert in the rails
ing of tobacco and has decided to plant
two or three acres in this county this
spring, simply as an experiment. He
believes that the leaf will turn out
all right and that it will be paying
investment. st. Cloud Journal

The "Beggar Prince" Opera Com
pany played here Friday and Satur-
day nights to good houses. The Com
pany is capable organization num-
bering a dozen people, and gave ex-
Standardization. Friday night the
bill was era Diavolo." This fam
iliar opera was we'll staged, we'll acted
and we'll sung, A particularly fine
musical rendition was the sextette at
the close of the second act, which was
given in manner probably exceed
| ing anything that has been heard in
Sank Centre for many months. The
leading soprano, the basso ard the
tenor have fine voices, we'll trained,
while the company as a whole sings
we'll and in perfect unison. aside
from the disrobing incident in the
second act there was nothing to criti-
else; that's part of the opera and the
prima donna made it as little object
ionable as she could. Opera con-
structionists, however, should try to
frame their compositions without re-
sort to such base subterfuges. The
public morals need elevating, not de-
grading. Saturday night 1.-The Prin-
cess of Trebizonde" masqueraded I'M
der the cognomen of 1.-THE Circus
Clown" There's nothing to it; it's
largely horse play and a company as
capable as this one should aim high
er. They did the thing we'll, however.
Friday night the opera was interrupted
once or twice by rafting and bang
ing in the attempt to fix the fires in
the stoves Possibly that was ner.
