The Devil" appeared at the Gale
theatre Friday evening to a fair au-
dience. The drama is an interesting
one that holds the interest through
to the end, and it was presented by
one of the best acting companies
that has appeared IN Mitchell in a
long time. The scenery was fine and
the costumes worn by the ladies lent
an elegance to the play that was
much appreciated. The Devil" was
impersonated by Mr.. Forsberg, and
he created enough trouble in the
play to satisfy his santanic Majesty
to the full.

State Fire Marshal Craft has sent
out circulars to warn people against
lighting or building fires with kero-
sene, and cites the instances of from
three to five people every winter be-
ing badly burned from insisting on
using the infammable stuff to start
a fire quick. This is the season of
the year when people resort to kero-
sene or even gasoline to start the
fire, and the state fire marshal hopes
to impress it on their minds that
kerosene was made for a wholly diff
ferent purpose. Some people can use
kerosene and get away with it and
others cannot. The safest way is
not to use it for building fires or
resuscitating them.
According to the Fredonia, Kansas,
Herald, of recent date, S. d. Ohm
stead is still in the land of the living
and reaching along toward that lux
urious state as a result of his drop
ping down in the oil regions of Kan
sas. The herald editor evidently got
a buggy ride at Sis expense when he
was taken for a drive over the roads
out to his farm. The Herald says
ST is dividing his farm up in 10 and
20 acre tracts and is selling them off
for residence purposes, and that three
or four new houses were now in the
course of construction. To induce
the people to come his way and build,
Mr.. Olmstead has started the good
roads proposition on the way to his
farm.
The board of education held its

with the usual routine of business,
and allowed a number of bills. The

dent Litchfield was elected to attend
the meeting of the school boards to
be held at Aberdeen Dec. 80. The
contract for doing the electric wiring
of the new school building was
awarded to the Mitchell Electric
Supply Co., they being the lowest
bidder at $1,665.
The town of Plankinton can go
ahead with its sewer system, now
that the supreme court has rendered
a decision making the $4,000 bonds
voted on at an election a year ago
valid. A. E. Hitchcock received notice
from the supreme court affirming
the decision eof Judge Smith in the
circuit court. Opponents to the
bonds sought to show that it took a
majority of the electors of the town
to carry the bonds instead Of a mai
GRITTY Of those voting at the election.
Mr.. Hitchcock represented the coun-
Gil in the case, which contended that
only a majority vote Of those voting
at the election was necessary to
make the bonds legal.
