Prepare yourself to withstand the
greatest mirthful test of lifetime. Ii
we gave ten chances, you could not
guess it! It's too good to keep and
We'll tell you if you agree not to even
whisper it to anyone else. There's a
minstrel show booked for Royal hall in
the near future! Not overly strange,
| is it! But-sh-sh-sh-the ladies of the
Federated Clubs are going to be the
minstrels. Now don't say word to
any one about it or this paper will be
scratched from the free list.
1t is announced that the Milwaukee
road will improve it's main track from
Madison to Portage so that it can send
the second section of the Pioneer Linn
tied from Chicago to the north by way
of GAINESVILLE, Madison and Portage.
The company has long considered that
move, but owing to the condition of the
roadbed and track between GAINESVILLE
and Portage it has been unable to make
any definite move in this direction.
Within the next two years one section
of the train will be running over the
short line regularly. 1t is a shorter cut
and trains can make better time and at
the same time furnish better service.
The production of 'The Two Or
phans'' at Royal hall, Wednesday even
ing, by one of Fred G. Conrad's COM
panies gave excellent satisfaction and
was attended by good sized house.
The blind orphan Louise, the crippled
Pierre, the Countess and the cruel
Frochard were depicted in a manner
not to be criticized and pleased the
audience beyond measure and all the
parts were we'll acted. 1t is a long
time since "The Two Orphans were
seen here and they pleased so we'll that
a return engagement would in all prob
ability be largely patronized. Man
ayers Jensen & Stewart have large
number of first-class attractions booked
for the coming season.
