The Program a Big Feature.

The Program a Big Feature.
1t Is said that there Is something uu-
usually interesting and plsasureable in
the entertainment Thursday night at
the theatre, presented by the Days.
These highly claver entertainers are
brought to Bridgeton by she Bridge
ton Library Association. and the idea
of the evenings program is something
of a novelty here. The Iowa City,
Ind, Press says of an entertainments
given there by the Days:
Zone uf the most thoroughly de-
lightful entertainments ever presented
in the Ooldren was that given by Mr..
Elias Day and Mrs. O'anne- -Truitt
Day. Without costumes, Mr.. Day de.
pends upon facial makeup and ex.
preston and achieves mis- ends
superbly. Whether he impersonates
the Oookney bailiff, the Kentucky
Colonel, the ardent lover, the loqua.
oious Hoosier store lounger. or any
other one OF the dozen characters, he
is as near perfection as possible. He
plays upon the heart-strings, and the
most tender impulses of humanity are
awakened by his emotional acting
for his readings in the field of senti-
ment are truly worthy of the stronger
word. To the Buveau our thanks are
due for q program so unusually ex-
cellent." Remember the date, Febru-

CARING.FOR
COUNTY PRISONERS,

During the present year under the

care and custody of prisoners in the
county jail will be removed from the
Sheriff and placed in Jail Warden to
be elected by the Board of Freehold.
ers. The suggested change will fol.
low the ending of the term of Sheriff
Souder. The successor to that official
will be paid salary of $500 annu-
ally, and under the law he cannot re-
ceiye dirently or Indirectly any fees.
This has been held to preclude the
Board of Freeholders from making
contract with tEe Sheriff to victual
the prisoners in the jail.
Following this line of argument the
Board of Freeholders will during the
present year appoint Jail warden,
and the present residence of the Sher-
if will be this official home of the
Warden. There is already some dis
cussion among members of the Board
as to what compensation will be al
lowed the warden for his services. 1t
has been suggested that the Board
should provide fixed salary for the
warden and the county furnish the
necessary provisions and supplies for
the prisoners. Others suggest that it
would be more satisfactory to allow
the warden per diem and he to fur.
nish his own help and provisions for
the inmates of the prison. There are,
OF COME. arguments against each of
the propositions. At present it seems
that the preponderancs of sentiment

At present the county allows Sheriff
Souder 40 cents per day per prisoner,
or SO. so week. Out of this he m ust

A New Thriller.

Circus managers for years, ever alert
for new and startling novelties and acts
have spared neither time or expense in
globe encircling research. From time to
time new thrillers have been invented or
discovered, beginning with the now OBJ
solete loop the loop" "cycle whirl, )"
"leaping the gap,' etc, and finishing
with the famous dip of DEATH without
doubt the greatest OF them all and right
ly termed the Clint" Managers were
seemingly forced to admit that nothing
more sensational could be desired, and
were satisfied to abandon further efforts
to produce a new feature. Not so with
AL. +. Wheeler, who beginning where
the others left off, has secured for his
New Model Shows this season an act so
astounding, so sensational, so marvellous
as to safely place it easily at head of
present day acts of dare devilism. 1t is
nothing less than bold intrepid dash
down 100 TT. ladder by 1.-The Great
Reynard," mounted upon Unicycle.
Any ordinary artist would deem it suffi-
GENTLY daring and difficult to make the
decent aided by the light of day, but Rey-
nard not content, performs the feat blind
folded. Consider for moment the dar-
ing of such an undertaking, compared to
it the dip of death" seems an ordinary
effort; the automobile cannot leave its
track, as it is so geared and arranged
that it flies true and as straight as an
arrow, the laws of gravity make an ac-
cident an impossbility. But not so with
Reynard's performance, the deviation of
fraction of an inch, the slightest sway
ing of the ladder, or the least hestancy
on the performers part would send him
dashing through space to instant death.
1t is an act calling for precise calculation,
unfaltering nerve and almost superhuman
courage. Impossible as it may seem,
this act will be given twice daily, not as
is usually the case the closing feature of
the Circus performance, but absolutely
free to everybody, forming the greatest
and most sensational Free Exhibition
ever offered by an amusement manager
of this or any other country. 1t is only
one of the many new and startling acts
secured for the New Model Show" this
season but it is easily the browning feat
of managerial enterprise, a glorio us
eclipse of former efforts. This show will
be at Thurmont tomorrow.
