PLAY WAS A GREAT SUCCESS
Cricket on the Hearth" BY Normal
Students Last Evening.

The Dramatic club of the state nor
nal school last evening presented its
first play of the school year i'll the
assembly room, in the presence of an
audience that filled every seat. The
play was Cricket on the Hearth, -
and was presented in full, by a large
east of characters taken by members of
the club. The production was in charge
of Miss Woodbury., and was a success
IN every way, and the audience felt
well repaid for attending.
As all taking part did admirably,
it would be hardly fair to mention
any of the actors or actresses sepa-
rately. Suffice it to say that the en-
tertainment was of % high order, and
that all having parts did themselves
proud. The orchestra added to the
pleasure of the occasion, and the scenic
effects were appropriate.

Standing of the Clubs.
FIRE. AT ODjARD & KNOFF'S
Furniture Factory ls Scorched BY a
Blaze This Afternoon.

A bad fire was discovered at two
in Odjard & Knoff's factory, and an
alarm was turned in from box 30.
The interior of the big kiln was all
ablaZe when the firemen arrived, both
the building and the large amount of
lumber that was being dried in it.
After a stubborn fight of nearly an
hour, the fire was gotten out with the
liberal use of water. 1t was a good
stop.
The cause of the fire is unknown,
but it may have started from a chin
ney ON the other side of the wall, if
there was any crack in it, for it
seems to have started opposite the
chimney, or it may have been caused
by the steam pipes that are laid
under the floor The kiln is kept
at a high temperature by means of
the exhaust steam from the factory.
The loss will sbe considerable, but
Mr.. Odjard was unable to estimate
it this afternoon. The building is badly
damaged, and the large stock of hard
wood lumber that it contains is also
badly damaged, the ends of the boards
being charred and the rest water soak
ed. The water dripped through into
the engine room below, where there
is much valuable machinery, and doubt
less caused some injury there. The
building is insured and also the ma
chinery, and Mr.. Odjard thought that
the stock in the kiln is covered by the
