ALL THE WORLD SHOULD HEAR THE TOYMAKERS." -S

"All the world loves lover" and all
 the world loves to laugh and here we
 have two lovers who laugh their way into the hearts of the audience with
 merry jingles and sprightly music that
 makes the blood run warm again. The
 great pictures, the great books and the
 great operas that live in the hearts of
 the people, have always a simple theme
 that strikes true key. 'The Toy
 makers" is the story of a simple but
 rather eccentric maker of toys who
 tried for many years to make an cleo
 tric doll that could be brought to life.
 He apparently accomplished the deed and the whole action of the play de- pends upon the adroit devices of the village belle who takes the place of the beautiful doll at the psychologist moment and the ensuing merry scenes are both droll and diverting and keep the audience at pitch of intense ex- citement and lively anticipation. The whole opera is briming over with sparkling wit and comieal situations. It may truly be called, a musical ab- surdity with clean, wholesome play of wit and humor from beginning to end. Some bright singers, comedians and dancers called "The Jollities" will give "The Toymakers" at the Opera House on Friday, February IA, for one night only, and as a clever, refined company they have met with crowded houses. This play was written by Charles Felton Pidgin, who wrote the book, and this same author wrote the famous Quincy Adams Sawyer" which was known all over the country as "the greatest New England play ever written" It was full of quaint New England 'humor and this latest book and play is based upon the strong healthy wit of "Old England" and handled in a very original manner, both striking and entertaining. |,

ment Association Grand
Success,

The returns from the Fourth of July
celebration held in Hands Grove under
the auspices of the Farmers Amuse-
ment Association show that the event
was one of the most successful in many
years.
A large number of people from Bara-
!. ga village and surrounding places were
in attendance, as well as those living
in the near vicinity of the park.
From early in the morning until late
at night high carnival reigned, and at
no time were those present at loss to
find some amusement.
There were attractions of almost ev-
cry conceivable form, from swings for
the young folks to the dance pavilion
for the older ones, and refreshments
were to be had on every hand.
Buses were running to and from
the park at all hours and upon the re-
turn of each additional fun seekers ar
rived.
Rain had tendency to detract from
the life Of the event during the after
noon for short time but to no serious
detriment.
Those conducting stands for the sale
confectionery and ice cream report good
business, and the members of the asso-
citation are coming in for a splendid
share Of compliments for the clean and
respectable manner in which the whole
celebration was conducted.

Performing Dogs Please.

The theatre goers of Baraga wer
treated Wednesday and Thursday ev-
ening to somewhat novel entertain
ment, that of troupe Of dumb actors
in the form of Nelson's Performing
Dogs.
The animals throughout the pro-
gram displayed almost human intelli-
gence in all they did, and their tricks
were marvellous in the extreme.
The dog circus was interspersed with
an excellent vaudeville program by
lady and gentlemen members OF the
company. and on the whole merited the
splendid patronage with which they
were accorded.

Friday afternoon the adjourned in
quest over the bodies of James LeClair
and William Cardinal, Jr., who were
killed by being run over by the mid
night train on the night of July End,
was held. The cause of the adjournment
was brought about by the inability of
the engineer to get to Baraga and give
testimony.
His testimony threw no special light
upon the case other than that which
had been established by the testimony
of preceding witnesses and as result
a verdict of death by being killed by
the cars was the outcome.

Would Lead to Anarchy.

Sentiments more dangerous TO the
welfare of society than those uttered
by the Seattle Times in it's comments
have seldom found expression save
in the most rabid anarchistic papers.
The Times declares that eff that
murderer, Thompson, shows his head
in Seattle and lives "a hours, the
friends of Judge Emory (his victim)
will be denounced as towards" If
this counsel should be adopted long
enduring disgrace would be inflicted
upon Seattle and the state of Wash
ingtOn.
Many persons do not agree with
the verdict of the jury which found
Thompson sane and gave him his
liberty, but to carry out a scheme of
vengeance by lynching this demented
youth, whose unbalanced mind led
him into the commission of a shock
ing crime, would be more unfortu-
nate than the original tragedy. If
the course thus advocated were to be
adopted in this and other cases it
would lead to widespread anarchy.
The Times censures the jury for
liberating Chester Thompson, whose
mental malady, in the opinion of
many persons, makes him a menace
to the community, but it is incon-
sistent in advocating as a remedy
the shooting of the crazy boy

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Thompson Case.

If ever newspaper received
hearty concentrations for it's atti-
tude on a vital ques5ion,-that has
occurred since the articles which
have appeared in the Times concern
ing the freeing of Chester Thompson,
even from prison, after the dastarily
murder which took the place of Judge
Emory.
Of course, there have been those
who have condemned-and that is al
ways the case in every community,
and were it not so there would be
less necessity for vigorous laws for
the punishment of crime.
In the first place, there is the
blood relation and intimate personal
friend of the family of the murderer
They all sympathise with the crimi-
nal without any regard to the horror
OF his crime and the wretchedness of
his escape.
In the second place, there is the
sentimentalist. who stards at the very
border of insanity itself, and wic.ly
incapable If N lying tetween right
and wrong, AMI trc'ti:.'e believes il
the escape I'M punishment OF al
persons charged with crime, whether
guilty or innocent
Lastly, there is a class of foolish
people, who idolize and honor only
those who have committed crime.
They belong to the worst class of our
citizens because they magnify and
applaud crime.
Against these enumerated Classes
stand up the solid men and women
who keep the community together,
the wheels of civilization In motion,
and upon whom the city, the county.
the state and ultimately the natrn
defeat crime and punish criminals
