Entertainment in the Opera House on
Thursday Evening Drew a
Packed House and Was
Very Excellent.
THE BUTTON FACTORY
Sixty Machines Have Arrived and the
Engine Has Been Installed
In the New Manufacture
ing Plant.


WARSAW, Ill. May %. The opera
house was packed on Thursday even
ing to witness the presentation Of the
comedy OF "The Country Store, or
Hunkers' Corners by a cast OF IS of
Warsaw's young amateurs. The play
was full of comical situations, with a
number Of leading comedians, who
kept the audience laughing with their
drolleries, and witty sayings. The
audience frequently manifested its
pleasure by applause and encores.
Several chorus specialties by eight
young ladies, trained by Miss Edyth
Dallam, were pleasing addition to
the evenings entertainment, in fact
no play these days seems complete
without the usual chorus between acts.
A fine orchestra of eight pieces, led
by Prof. f. e. Cook, lent an added
charm to the night. The entertain
ment was a great success, pleasing the
people. and covering the deficit in the
recent lyceum course for whose bene-
fit it was voluntarily and most kindly
given by the young people. Miss Jes-
| sic Bell, the popular elocutionist, stag
ed the play and trained the cast, and
to her much credit is due for its un-
eoualed success. The management
feels very grateful to her and to the
many friends who so cheerfully aided
her: also to the public who SO liber-
ally supported the entertainment by
their patronage.
The Young Mems Cornet band play
ed a number of airs before the opera
house doors we're opened, thus aiding
much in advertising the event. This
band proposes to give play some
time in June, the proceeds t. be APP
piled to the purchase Of uniforms.

Sixty button machines have arrived
at the button factory, and will be set
up as soon as the plasterers are

to be whitecoated, and the ceiling is
of wood. The engine, handsome

brought from up the river by the
company's boat and barges are being
erected just north OF and adjoining

storing of shells. The boat and
barges have gone to the Illinois river
after shells.
The company proposes to erect {

To date, Occur d'Alene mines have paid divi-
dends amounting to $4,000, ,ooo-a mere trifie
to what the revenues will aggregate in the next
rs years. No wonder alert mine investors have
their optics focused on the famous lead dsilver
camp
The ore strikes made in Coeur d. 'Aene mines
during the first eight months of 1909 have in
creased their value to the extent of SIS, ,ooo, 900.
In ore strikes the year 1909 will treat the Occur
d'Alenes handsomely. Occur d'Aene

In the early history of the district develop

of transportation and capital but now not month
passes but new strikes are made and new pro-
ducers are added to the list.

Mrs. w. A. Pannebaker served
very nice course dinner Thursday to
Grandma Farrell and her two daugh-
ters, Katherine and Lucy, of Lisbon,
as we'll as to Mrs. Sheridan and Miss
Keating of this city. The menu was
as follows: Oysters in the half shell
with Saratoga chips, roast beef with
Yorkshire pudding and sauce, sweet
potatoes la mode, pickled onions and
mixed pickles, Parker house rolls and
buns, fruit and cake, coffee, nuts. 1t
was a dinner much enjoyed by all
present.
A ''bevy of girls-better known as
the "Second Ward Eight" went to
Forman Thursday night to carry out
that long promised visit to Mrs. Ed.
Sanderson. The latter was one of the
Eight when she resided in Oakes, and
her old pals went down for visit.
They were nicely entertained-we doubt
if they "bobbed an eye" all night as
all of them wanted to visit and talk at
the same time. In the party were:
Mesdames Fay, Sullivan, Becker. Kel-
legg, Taber, Malander and Wright.
They came home "by freight" next
day and said they had splendid time.

Has Right Idea.

Mr.. Kingsley is in the General Mer-
chandise, Hardware and Harness bus
mess, and he says that just because
business is good now and will be good
until Xmas, there is no reason why he
should not put on sale.
If a customer does not. want an
article, it is not logical to try and sell
it to him, even if It is marked at cost.
"My idea" said Mr.. Kingsley, ''is to
give my customers a price on some.

Miss Stone Lectures.

Through the efforts of the local W.
C. T. u. the people of Oakes had the
opportunity on Tuesday night OF listen
ing to Miss Ellen M. Stone, the Bull
garian missionary who eight years ago
was captured and held by brigands, and
S1OO. 600 asked as ransom for her
release. She and another lady were
held captive for six months ar and We're
released on payment of sl4, 500, raised
and sent from her home town OF Boston,
Massachusetts.
The story is very interesting and was
listened to by full house. Miss Stone
is not very great platform speaker,
but she has story to tell that does
not often come to people in their per-
sonal experience.

oAKEs STATE HIGH SCHOOL

''Be woman on to duty!
Raise the world from all that's low;
Place again in social heaven
Virtues fair and radiant bow;
Lend thy influence to each effort
That shall raise our nature human;
Be not fashions gilded lady
Be a brave, whole-souled true woman.
The snow storm caused some absent
and tardy marks Monday morning.
These things ought not to be. Every
place of business was opened on time
and the workers were there. We are
told that if a tool is dull, it must be
sharpened or more strength must be
used. So, too, if the road becomes
blocked or hindrances occur, it is nee
essary to travel faster or start earlier.
Keep it in mind that nothing but the
best is good enough.
Some of the pupils of the high school
are studying the question of municipal
ownership Of public utilities and will
give some interesting facts to the
school as the result of their investiga-
tion. They have some of the best
documents and public presentations of
the subject of government ownership
of railroads and telegraph lines and ex-
press business. There will be some
good practical drill in literary work in
this reading and writing.
Both pupils and associate teachers
are giving their thoughts and wishes to
the teachers who are out on account of
sickness and hoping that they may be
able soon to return to their places and
work.
The interest in spelling and penman-
ship is growing with many, but some
think it is very hard to learn to spell.
Good spelling and writing are necessary
in business. Penmanship is a good
form of manual training, one that
every one will use during life.

A Few Striking Instances

The Hercules. The claims were located in
1889 by Fred Harper and Harry L. Day, ordin-
ary prospectors without means. The country
was new and money scarce. The early history
of the mine is the story of the stubborn struggle
and subsequent rise of few laborers and trades
men, saving out of their earnings to develop
their prospect, progress was slow. Among
them was an ngineer, lawyer, butcher, store
keeper, school teacher, clerk teamster, barber,
milkman, and laborer. Not until 1901 was
the rich ore shoot reached. When the strike
was made one of these stockholders, the milk
man, was eager to accept an offer OF $4,000
for his shares, but was forcibly prevented by
his friends. Today he owns magnificent
eleven story hreproof building in Spokane built
out of Hercules dividends and the mine has
more ore in sight than ever, new tunnel on
lower level having been completed last year.
Hercules stock once went begging, now it can
not be bought.
The Snow Storms history illustrates the
rapid progress in the development OF Couer
d'Alene mines in more recent years. Work on
the property began in 1903 and in 1904 it
entered the producing list 1t is opened by
four tunnels, number four through which the ore is
carried being completed in 1908. The lower
levels of the mine have developed in magnih-
cent manner during the past year. An average
of $50 men are imployed at the mine and leach
ing plant. The Snow Storm has paid during
the past four years dividends amounting to $780,
900.
New properties that have within the past few
months become producers or have actually
reached the ore veins are the Caledonia, The
Butte and Occur d'Alene and the H. E. G. M.
the Black Horse and the Bear Top. The Gale
donia ninety days ago was but good prospect,
