MACBETH" GIVEN
BY GREET PLAYERS

The Ben Greet players gave an i'm
pressive performance of Macbeth" at
the Belasco Theater last night. The
tragedy was produced in Elizabethan
style, which enabled the company to
give an unabridged version.
The distinctive feature Of the Greet
production Is the emphasis placed upon
ali the witches scenes. Throughout the
entire production the weird cackle of
the spirits OF the air minglss with the
s0ughing OF the winds and the roll Of
distant thunder.
Mr.. Greet follows the first folio, which
differs radically in several instances
from the generally accepted acting YER
sion This is cOnspicuously true in The
scene in which Macbeth instructs the
murderers in their attack on Banouo
and Fleance. IN the Greet performance
Lady Macbeth remains on the stage.
seated by Macbeth. Another unusual
feature Of the performance last night
was the rather daring innovation OF
bearing upon the stage the bloody head
OF Macbeth fixed to a spike.

madman after the banquet scene The
figure is anything but commanding, fear

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

Gov. Crawford has issued his
Thanksgiving proclamation for Thurs
day, Nov. 26, the proclamation being:
We are in the midst of a beautiful
autumn. Small grains mt fruits have
been gathered; the thresher has com
pleted his work; in a few days the
great corn crop will have beer crib
bed, and the winters fuel supply laid
In. There is enough for all INC to
spare. The laborer is employed, the
is prosperous.
Our schools and colleges are filled
with eager students. Moral and spir,
itual forces are at work. Our people
are enjoying good health. Peace and
plenty abound. Our beloved state has
taken a high place in the sisterhood
which constitutes the greatest repub-
tic in the world. How fitting it is that,
with all these reminders of His riches
and grace we should give all praise
and gratitude to that bountiful Provi-
dence from whom all blessings flow.
I'm harmony with the proclamation
OF the president, /, Coe |. Crawford,
as governor of the State of South Da-
Nota, do hereby designate and set
apart Thursday, the 26th day of No
vember, 1908, as a day Of Thanksgiv-
ing and prayer.
Let us not be vainglorious. While
the human nature is endowed with
much that justifies the saying that
man is created in the image of his
maker, We 100 often witness acts Of
passion. violence and ~malevolence
that show too narrow a margin be-
tween the human and the brute. The
frenzy of the mob, the lawlessness Of
the night rider, on one hand, and the
riotous living of many men and WON
en- of wealth on the other, disclose ten
denotes fraught with the greatest dan
ger of society. The simple virtues of
honesty, purity and piety; the main
tenance of the family and home, and
the rearing Of children in the love of
God, those are the things that count
Tor vastly more than all our material
wealth.
Il recommend that the people of the
state on the day above named, in the
spirit of gratitude and thanksgiving,
In the homes and houses of worship.
give grateful Acknowledgement to the
Almighty for His kindness and guild
ing care during the past year.

An intoxicated man, who believed
the villain in the play was in dead

theatrical performance in the opera
house at Redfield, and for a time Great
ed a small sized panic among the
audience. The intoxicated individuals
presence was no discovered until the
play was half over, this being at the
juncture where the heavy villain in
the play appears upon the stage and
stabs the actor who plays the part of
the old man. The intoxicated indi-
vidual evidently thought this part of
the performance was in dead earnest,
for no sooner had the villain sturck
the supposed death blow with a long,
cleaning knife. than the drunken man
arose ~unsteadily from his seat and
made for the stage, evidently intend
ing to capture the villain before he
could make his escape. Sheriff Hop

the excited drunken mar and the
stage and arrested the disturber when
he was excitedly making his way

LAW is VOID,
City Has No Right to Grant Franchise
to Telephone Company.

The opinion of Judge Garland Of
the United States court, before whom
was heard the case of the City OF
Huron VS.. the Dakota Central Tele-
phone company, has been received.
The case involves the right of the
City of Huron to compel the telephone
company to remove its wires and
poles from the streets and alleys OF
the city at the expiration of its fran.
chise.
In his opinion Judge Garland holds
that the telephone company was given
its franchise to maintain lines in the
state by the legislature of South Da-
kota, that the City of Huron has no
legal right whatever to grant to the
telephone company a franchise and
that the City of Huron has not the
power either to refuse of allow the
company to place poles and wires up
on its streets. Also hat this fran
chise, which the City of Huron had
granted to the Dakota Central, Civ
ing them the use of its streets and
alleys for a period of ten years, was
a nullity and an illegal proceeding.
