c, 4. Blodgett, of Marshfeld, pur-
chased the store building and lot of
Robt. Parrish Friday and he is
now owner of said property. We
understand he is now negotiating for
the adjoining lot owned by the Witter
estate and others. This purchase
practically settles the fact that the
citizens of Grand Rapids will enjoy a
new hotel in the near future. Let US
give Mr.. Blodgett all the assistance
and help that we can in his COM
mendable enterprise in coming here
to invest his money for the further
upbui.ding of Grand Rapids.

the Merrimack Manufacturing Com pany of this city. Mir . Bradley left last night for Richmond. Va. to attend meeting of the American Cotton Man ufacturers' Association and he believes that the manufacturers of cotton goods will come to an agreement to make still further curtailment of their pro- ducts
 After this the Merrimack will prob ably run only three days in each week instead of five. Mir, Bradley says that there has been no improvement in the cotton goods market recently but in- stead 1t has become weaker by reason of the unloading of vast bankrupt stocks in the east. He believes that after sixty days, when the two great political parties have nominated their candidates and promulgated their plat forms, the period of curtailment among the cotton mills of the south will come to an end.

Rev. c. c. Heard Breaches Strong ser~
 mon on "ReJecting Jesus"
 Rev. C. c, Heard is continuing to draw good Congregations at the West End Baptist Church where revival is in progresso MT. Heard preached the sermon last evening taking as his topic "Rejeoting Jesus" Mir. Heard told his hearers how people put the re- sponsibility upon someone else in ac- cepting Christ. and how the Saviour was rejected every day by thousands The preacher pictured the weak = nesses of Pontius Pilate and said that in these very weaknesses were repre- sented in a large measure by great class of people of today, Mir. Heard told of the power of Satan to lead peo- pie astray from the truth.
 In conclusion the preacher presented the question of what should be done with Jesus, and also the contrary. What shall Jesus do with us on the great Judgment Day7"
 Several of the congregation on the call asked to be prayed for, confess ing that they were deeply interested in the meetings taking place and the Savior as presented in the sermons.
 The meetings at the West End Bap- tist Church will be held nightly at 7:45 o'clock and the public is cordially invited to be present.

DEMoPoLIs OPEN TOWN.
Glider Wins for County superinten endent
 of Education.

N"eer wins Tor County Superintendent
 of Education.
 Demopolis, May 1s.-(Special. Joe mopolis will continue to remain wide open on the Christian Sabbath. At the last meeting of the city council the Sunday closing ordinance received its Waterloo.
 The following councIlmen voted against the ordinance: M B. Mccarty $. e. Woolf and W. M Trucker.
 For the ordinances: W, H. Welch and J. B. Wilson.
 Councilman W. S. Prout was present, put refused to vote. hence the mayor had no opportunity to vote.
 Primary Quiet.
 The State primary came off on Mon- day here and everything passed of quite smoothly Bryan carried the county for president Cunningham, Kyle and Moody for delegates are in the lead. For Associate Justices, May field and Simpson are in the lead. For Game Commissioner, Wallace will carry the coutty. It is conceded that Glider has been nominated by a good major ity for superintendent of education.
 The race for Superintendent of Edu- cation was the center of interest and some hard work on both sides was done and 1t seems that the Glider side has won by some one hundred or more ma jority. MT. Gllder's gain from the last primary seems to be a landslide for him. The result of the primary of yesterday nominates one of the best men in the county, and 1t is believed there could not have been better man found in the county to i'll the position of Superintendent of Education than MT. B. F. Glider, of Linden.

WILL PROVIDE
THE AMUSE MEN7

! The Kilohana Art League intends Il
provide amusement for the public
when professional artists are not here
The next performance under the aus
pices of the League will be given a
the Hawaiian Opera House on the
night of the 9th, and in spite of tht
many attractions prior to that date
there is every indication of a full at
tendance.
DR.. and Mrs. Humphris, two of the
best artists of whom Honolulu may
well boast, will appear in one of the
Dolly Dialogues" This promises to be
a society event for in the smart set
there are no more popular people than
the genial doctor and his charming
wife.
| Another attraction, and a really
good one will be the Arabian Nights
by cast that would be difficult to
excel. This feature is under the di-
| rection of w. D. Adams and the re-
hearsals are proceeding most satisfac-
. torily. It is the story of a man with
a mother-in-law who is extremely ex-
acting as to the conduct of her daugh-
ter's husband. What appears to be
his first, after-marriage Irritation ends
badly for him owing to the old lady
and address. He encounters an adven-
turess who is in the vaudeville line
at the Aquarium and walks with her
in the park during a fog. Unfor-
tunately for him he lets her take his
handkerchief and, again unfortunately,
for him, she calls with it at his house
on a visit when the incident occurs
but returns while the actress is in the
house, The mother-in-law had already
met the woman for to save himself the
husband introduces them, the stranger
as an American cousin who was ex-
pected to arrive that day from New
York.
1t will be observed that the situa-
tions are mixing with rapidity that
is difficult for the onlooker to keep
pace with. Each one is funnier than
the one preceding and there becomes
a tangle of errors that grows hard to
unravel.
In the selection of persons to take
part in the play excellent judgment
has been shown. Major Potter and
Mrs. McLennan are very good in the
leads and the support they receive is
almost professional. There is no fail
ure in the lines nor is there evidence
OF the amateur letter-perfect business
that is so tiresome to an audience.
Miss Bell may be a little over san
guine at rehearsals but there is as
surance that this will not be noticeable
when they are over; she does not
overdo the part. One who will sur
prise his friends is Mr.. Jordan and it
seems unfortunate that he has not
been given better part. Will War
rem, Miss McLain. Miss Arleigh, Miss
Waldron and Mr.. Arnold do well and
with a grace that suggests
long experience before the footlights |
The performance will be for the
benefit of the Kilohana Art Leaeue |
and should be well attended, not alone |
for that reason, but because the play
is good and it win be well rendered. |
