BURR M'IETOSE SCORES
BIG HIT With PLAYGOERS

"A Gentleman from Mississippi. "
with Burr Mcintosh in the title role.
was successfully presented under the
management of William A. Brady and
Joseph b. Grismer, to a capacity house
at the Calumet theater last evening.
The production is similar i'm many
ways to THE Man of the Hour" which
appeared here last season and scored
the same kind of a tremendous hit
Although the cast was a large one,
Burr Mcintosh, in the role of VIM.
Langdon, junior senator from Missis-
sippi, and Bud Haines, of the staff
OF the New York Star, as portrayed
by viii Deming, were largely respon-
sible for Its success. Mcintosh, in his
impersonation of the true type of SOU
thern gentleman, appealed to the au-
dience and held its interest through
out the evening. His droll southern
mannerisms, carelessness OF personal
appearance, open hearted human
friendship and above all, scrupulous
honesty. fitted awisFardly into the set
ting OF Washington's social whirl and
political intrigue, but thanks TO the
careful guidance of Haines, his conf
dental secretary, he emerged smiling
and right side up. Throughout the
production was marked by a delicate
train of humor.
The parts Of Charles Norton, Repre-
sentative from Mississippi. portrayed
by Henry Penberton, Cullen of the
Chicago Globe" by Harry Stubbs,
Senator Horatio Peabody, from Penn
sylvania, by William walcott, Amelia
by Miss Beulah Watson,
Senator Langdon's daughters. by Mis-
ses Mary Moran and Evelyn Moore
and Mrs. Spangler by Miss Genevieve |
Kane were well handled.

PRISON MADE TWiNE.
Must Be Labeled Says the Attorney
General of State

Binding twine sold by the state
prison must be labeled as the law
requires other binding twine to be
labeled, in the opinion of the attor-
ney generals, department, and as a
result the state institution will have to
tag about 100000 pounds now on hand
before II is placed on sale.
Last winter the legislature passed
an act requiring that each ball of
twine bear n tag stating the name of
the manufacture. the tensile strength
of the twine and the number of feet
per pound This act has gone into eff
feet, making 1t pisdemeanor to
sell twine not bearing that label un-
less the dealer can prove that he pur-
chased the twine before the act went
into effect. The Jackson prison au-
thorities were evidently hopeful the
attorney general would not construe
the law to include that institution, but
II Is the opinion of the states legal
officers that any dealer selling this
twine without the label would be
liable and the state should either label
It's twlne or allow such a discount as
would allow the dealer to mark the
twine as Is prescribed.

WILL CEASE TO COLLECT.
Contributions for Statue Fund Not to
Be Asked Until Spring.

It Is expected that the committee
which has charge of the subscriptions
for the Christopher Columbus statue
will cease collecting among the busi-
ness people from now until next
spring. The time seems inopportune
for such a movement to be conducted
and ii is thought that much better re-
suits will attend the effort If the COM
mittee waits until spring. Contribu-
tions will be received at any time from
private individuals or from fraternal
or other organizations who care to help
this cause. The fund available for the
statue Is now about $500 and 1t is
estimated that total of about $4,000
will be secured. The committee has
not worked extensively among the bus
mess people of the town and the re-
sponses received have been largely vol
untary. 1t is planned to resume the
work early I'm the spring, and 1t is
felt that much better results can be
attained then.

Secretary Wilson Says 1t Is Not
Necessary to Import Grain
For Bread
FARMER MASTER OF SITUATION.
Time When Increased Population Will
overtax Ability Of Farmer to Pro-
vide Sustensnoe is Far Remote
Increase in Crop Production is Ex-
pected Over Last Year.

Washington. Nov. 4.-Some day the
steady increase of population in the
United States is bound to overtax the
ability of the farmer to provide for it's
sustenance, but that day is very re-
mote, according to Secretary Wilson
of the agricultural department. Nor
will it be necessary I'm the immediate
future to import grain for bread. not
withstanding the dole predictions of
some publicists. Everything depends
upon the disposition of the American
farmer to make the most of the re-
sources of his land. and to improve his
methods of agriculture in accordance
with the needs of the people
The secretary is in an optimistic
mood just now and he has pointed to
the figures of crop productions within
his reach, showing that the value of
the American farmers output for one
single year aggregated the enormous
total of seven and a quarter billion
dollars. That was for the calendar
year 1908, but the secretary was con-
hdent that, having i'm mind the highest
prices of the present, the total for this
year would certainly be as large or
perhaps larger.
The prospect for a great increase in
the production of wheat is excellent in
the opinion of Secretary Wilson and
for two reasons; first, the greatly en-
hanced market value of that staple |
would surely tempt American farmers
to plant more wheat, and second. |
thanks to the discovery OF the possi-
billty of growing durum wheat i'm a |
large part of the country hitherto re-
garded as unavailable. there would be |
a great addition to the total of the an
nual crop. Last year. no less than
sixty million bushels or drrum wheat

DIFFICULTY GETTING SITE.
Delay in Installing a United Wireless
Station at Escanaba.

Today was the date set for the
sending of the first wireless message
out of Escanaba, but owing TO diff
culties encountered in securing a site.
work has not even been started upon
the tower and office, says the. Escan-
aba Mirror
When the district superintendent
left Escanaba after his last visit it was
with the understanding that work
was TO be commenced shortly upon the
structure in this city and arrange
ments were even made 10 send a
force OF structural steel workers here.
Later developments proved that
the sites which were acceptable could
not be secured or leased for what the
company was willing to pay. The sta
tion takes up but little ground and
the United Wireless is not in favor OF
paying out any more than is neces-
sary for the installation OF an office
whose success is purely problematical.
They are willing to take a lease for
ten years. however, and pay the
amount due If they discontinue the
company in that time.

the company TO Escanaba are now

a site and expect, within the next few
days. to make arrangements which will
allow the company to erect their sta
