"The Honeymooners."

George M. Cohan has outdone him
self in THE Honeymooners'' which
comes to the Keylor Grand theater to-
night, direct from an all summer run
at 81 prices at the New Amsterdam
theater, New oYrk. This newest and
best of the Cohan song shows is 10
Gated in the sporty town of Tigerville,
Vermont. and the genius of the bril-
liant young author runs riot of fun
among the characters of this typical
country town. The plot while farcical
is coherent throughout and tells an
interesting story " love and politics.
The complications are wonderfully
funny and beginning at the first
speech are not unraveled until the last.
Interest is held from first to last Co
han is perhaps the only current writer
for the stage who has mastered the
art of introducing songs and dances
into story without halting the action.
In The HoneymOoners" there are a
score of snappy catchy lyrics and two
score pretty girls. Among the song hits
are I'm Popular Man Make a Lot
of Noise" kid Days. I'm a One
Night Stand I'll be There in the
Public Square and IF I'm Coin to
Die. I'm Coin to Have Some Fun"
The fact that The Honeymooners''
stood the acid test of a SUMMER pro-
duction in New York and in the
smartest theater on Broadway ran all
summer to capacity at 50 a seat is suf-
ficient proof of its quality. In the big
cast are such pronounced Broadway
favorites as Willie Dunlay. Walter
Chester, Daniel Sullivan, Jack Lon
don, Thomas A. Hearn, William Singer
Miss Annie Wheaton, Miss Gertrude
lie Brandt, Rosa Gildea and Minnie
Pollord. The scenery and costumes
are costly and beautiful and the entire
production is one of the finest which
has ever left New York Mr. Cohan
is now enjoying the greatest measure
of national popularity ever extended to
a composer and author and his music
is whistled and sung everywhere while
his plthy sayings are the current
speech of young America The Hon
eymooners' is considered the best en-
tertainment yet devised by Mr.. Cohan
who has packed it with plot, girls,
songs, music, dances and general ex-
cellenca

Decoration Day at Coi!yer.

Decoration Day was observed
at Collyer with all its usual fer
vor.
AS our thoughts turn back
ward to the sixty four veterans
who have been members of the
Collyer G. A. r. post, and think
only ten members compose the
post now, we can but ask our
selves how long will we follow
the remnant to the silent city
and listen to the sublimly beau
tiful tribute from the @. "A. r. to
their departed comrades.
How sad the changes, the old
G. A. r. hall, so long the pride of
the veterans, was no longer
needed for the remaining few, a
much smaller place serves them
now. The very walls that have
been saturated with the loyalty
and patriotism of the men who
gave their best manhood to their
beloved country will echo no
more with patriotic fervor; the
hall is sold. Our dear old sol
dier town is fast fading away, ii

Wa-Keeney Boys Are Fast.

The Trego County High School
ball team came up to Hays last
Monday morning accompanied
by about two dozen rooters and
defeated the Normal 3 to O in as
fast game of baseball as been
played on the local grounds this
year. Up till the first half of the
sixth inning neither side had
scored and the game looked like
a o to O contest. In the sixth an
error by Clyde Bice at first sent
the Normal up in the air and
another error by Bear and two
two baggers netted three scores
before the teachers lighted. No
other scores were made on either
side and Wa-Keeney's to o vic
tory was a bitter dose to the
Normal. Wa-Keeney's battery
