s'Uncle Josh Perkins,

One of the most novel and natural
representations on the stage today,
"Uncle Josh Perkins," will be seer at
the Dickinson opera house August IS.
The play is in four acts and in plot, con.
struction and action shows the hand OF
possessing the knowledge of what is
natural, realistic and interesting in play
building; throughout the play the inter.
esting story depicted is never for a
moment lost track of, while all the intro.
duced features and specialties fit SO
naturally as to form a component part of
the story. The press, wherever this
m atchless company has appeared, unite
in declaring "Uncle Josh Perkins" and
his retinue of fun makers, one OF the
best on the road and a vast improvement
even over the excellent one of last
season. New scenery of places of
interest in New York City and bucolic
sights and places in the Green Mountain
state, Vermont, which are said to be not
only actual reproductions but gems of
scenic art are shown. Several novel
mechanical effects are novelty numbers
depicting the amusements and simple
pastimes of country life, including a
genuine husking bee and a hilarious
barnyard dance. Taken all in all,
"Uncle Josh Perkins" is a standard play.
1t is ever kept up to date and is a stage
representation that will live. 1t is inter-
esting, laughable and teaches a moral.
In short, a play that makes one feel all
the better from having seen it. "Uncle
JOSH is no stranger in Dickinson. Our
people know him and will literally patro-
nize plays of the we'll known reputation
of "Uncle Josh Perkins" and a good
house awaits him. Seats on sale at the
Benzie Drug store.

TOOK TWO GAMES

State. Defeat Drake Twice.
Belfeld Comes Down and Shuts
the Visitors out.
The Dickinson ball players continue
to defeat all Corners. and since taking
two straight, on Saturday and Sunday.
from Drake, are entitled to the state
amateur championship.
Saturdays game was close and quite
exciting, but not nearly as satisfactory a
game 10 the spectators as the game of
the following day.,
The attendance was unusually large
on Sunday, and as the score indicates,
the game was very holly contested from
start to fnish. The best of it was that
the spectators appeared to be satisfied
with every decision Of the umpire. Dick.
inson did some heavy hitting in the 9Th.
but the visitors took wv scores in the 9Th
and one in the 9th which tied the game.
Drake should have had the game in the
10th. The first up made a clean three
base hit but CHANGED a home run and
was caught out. In the nth Sturgeon
hit for grid and scored a man, clinching
the game for Dickinson.
The Bel6eld boys seemed to have an
easy victory on Monday. The game
wal played in the Dickinson park. Ma.
turally the Drake players we're pretty
tired when it came to the third game,
and from the way they acted on the dia-
mondi it was also apparent that some of the
boys had been out too late the previous
night.
The Drake players are all home boys,
from McHenry county, and had been
gu about 10 days when here. They had
played % games before coming to Dick
inson, losing but E of the number. They
expressed themselves as perfectly salts
fed with their Sunday and Mondays de-
feats.
From Dickinson the Drake team vent

were their dates for Forsyth.

Republicans May Adopt Either
of Two Systems Illustrated

Hundreds of republicans who want 10

instructions to voters prescribed by the
Legislature and printed on the sample
and official ballots.
For the benefit of the many voters
who want to vote for Dunno and against
Cook without the risk of invalidating
their tickets. The Call prints herewith
two facsimile ballots showing two
methods of scratching Cook and voting.
| for Dunno.
| The method of stamping a cross after
the name of each candidate for whom
| the elector wishes to vote is preferable.
| This method is shown in the second or
right hand ballot reproduced on this
page. For the voter who wants to be
| sure that he has voted for all the re-
! publican nominees except Cook, the first
or left hand reproduction offers a SIM
pie and easy method. If you stamp
cross in the straight or party voting
circle and wish to scratch Cook for
Dunno you must stamp a cross after
the names of all the other republican
candidates and leave the voting square
after Cooks name unmarked.
! Take your time when you go into your
| booth Be sure that you have marked
! your ballot as you wish to vote it be-
| fore you leave the booth. Permit no
one to rush or hurry you. This is your
| election. Your interests, the integrity
| of your bench and the good name of
! San Francisco are at stake.
The Call has discussed the proposed
| constitutional amendments severally

Still McAfee is not satisfied that he
is wrong in his conclusion about the
/ man 0eld neTe dS his WOTQS IN an IN

I'VE are just as confident as we have
been all along that the man is Dun

which he has now at the Jail, has the
he wore when he was arrested, and
word Monterey stamped on the in

chased in Monterey, Mex.

tapering to a needle like point, such
as is used by safe crackers in pour
ing nitroglycerine into small crevices
of doors of safes.
I'VE have also two letters which
were written by Durham few days
before he was arrested. The letters
are written In cipher. One is four
pages in length, and both are neatly
written. Dunham' now claims that he
can not write.
THE man is Dunham without doubt,
and he is a very smooth fellow. If
they will stick to him they will find
that he is Dunham.
