at the playhouse yesterday.
Just A Womans Way" is a sensa-
tional melodrama and one that holds
the attention of the audience from the
first until the Hast. There are power
full climaxes and a careful blending of
humor and pathos. The story is one
of great heart interest and the plot is
worked out in most approved man
ner. The scenic investiture is very
elaborate and the play has become i'm
mensely popular with the Calumet pat
rons.
Interspersed throughout the piece are
clever specialties and some real good
comedy at the right time. From melo-
drama, Just A Woman's Way" is a

shocks were felt at Palmi. where sew

ported that new shocks precipitated all

This latter is not believed here.
King Thinks Worst Over.
King Victor Emmanuel and the queen
arrived in Rome yesterday from the
earthquake district. They think the
ceived a great demonstration by the
people of Rome on their arrival, which
they had attempted to keep. secret.
A message sent by the Ring before
he left Messina to Premier Giolitti says
conditions in the district have improved
in the last two days.
The terrific downpour of rain, which
has continued almost without interval
since the destruct on of the countryside,
has ceased, and the arrival of more
troops has permitted a fastening of the
work of rescue and relief and the re-
storation of order.
In his message the king says he yes
terday visited the Calabrian coast south
of Reggie. Pellaro he found practically
destroyed, but Melito was only slightly
damaged.
From other sources, however, come
news of less optimistic nature. One
report, still unconfirmed, says six Rus
sian sailors were killed by thieves
whom they had surprised while loot
ing the ruins of a palace at Messina
Another Russian sailor shot a thief
upon whom were found valuables tc

U. S. Cavalry Here.

The arrival of the three squadrons
of the 4th U. S. Cavalry, under Maj.
Galbraith last Thursday forenoon
gave the town a few thrills, a sham
battle being put on by the obliging
officers in command to give our citi-

might be. The cavalrymen were a
soldierly appearing bunch and their
evolutions were greatly appreciated,
especially by the school children, who
were dismissed while the town was
under military occupation. The
soldiers picketed their horses on
Washington street and marched on
to Delhi after the noon hour.

Miss Maud Graves, Entertainer.

Minneapolis Journal, June 8, 'O7:
An enjoyable recital was given last
Wednesday evening at the johnson
school by Miss Maud Graves, one of
the graduates. She was assisted by
by the East Side double ouartette
and Miss Lepper. a talented young
pianist. Miss Graves won the sym-
pathy of her audience from the
start by her pleasing personality
and her ease and charm of manner.
Theprogram was an excellent one and
we'll adapted to show her versatile
powers as reader. Her interpreta-
ton of The Lost Word" by Henry
Van Dyke won hearty applause,
while her rendition of Dutch dialect
stories showed her keen appreciation
OF the humorous. Her impersona-
ton of frivolous woman in "Her
Tailor-Made Suit" monologue by
Mrs. Fiske. was excellent.

Ahrens Golden Wedding.

Old residents of the period when
Beaver Falls was the capital city of
Renville county will be interested in
the Morton Enterprise account of
the golden wedding Of a worthy
pioneer Beaver Falls couple Squire
Ahrens and wife:
Sunday. October Sd. the fftieth
wedding anniversary of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Ahrens was the occasion
of happy gathering of old pioneers
at their home in this village. Those
present brought some articles of
gold and many were the beautiful
mementos the old couple received in
honor of their long and useful mar
ried life. AS Mr.. Ahrens was first
treasurer of Renville county and
later county commissioner and state
senator, the time was passed in re-
lating experiences of the early his
tory of Renville county. Mr.. All
rens greatly pleased his hearers by
much valuable bits of unwritten his
tory in his political career. Few of
the younger generation realize that
Henry Ahrens is one of the few men
living who shaped the destinies of a
now rich and influential county. The
best wishes of all are that the old
couple may live to celebrate many
more of their feeting years."

SAFE BLOWERS AT WABASSO.
Postoffice Entered by Burglars Who
Wreck Safe and Get $13O Cash.

The Wabasso postoffice was en-
tered some time last Wednesday
night, by burglars who managed to
pick the lock. the door being found
open Thursday morning. with the
store of Mr.. Ellington, the post
master, Uttered with rubbish by the
burglars. The postoffice safe was
blown open, the explosion being
heard sometime in the night, Mr..
LestlkoW appearing to be the only
citizen, according to the Standard,
who made any attempt to investi-
gate the cause of the explosion,
which he thought was at the Franta
Bros. hardware store. Finding ev-
erything all right there, Mr.. Lesti-
kow went to bed without locating
the real scene of the disturbance.
The proceeds of the burglary were
$l20 taken from the safe and S. in
nickels from the cash register. For
tunately for Mr.. Ellington, regis
tered letter in the safe containing
$1,000 in currency, which came too
late for deposit in the bank, was
overlooked by the burglars, although
it was found in plain sight in the
wrecked safe. The explosion was
strong enough to blow parts of the
safe through the ceiling.

Prices Now and Twenty Years Ago.

In order to get an idea of the cost
of living at the present time COM
pared with the cost in former years
we present herewith some prices ex-
isting twenty years ago and prices
today. The difference in the figures
then and now are astonishing and
for this reason we draw a few COM
parisons of the cost of living at the
present time and the halcyon days
of score of years ago. In the first
place wheat then sold at 73 cents a
bushel while today it brings 81.
Corn was 80 and 80 while last week
it sold for 76 cents. Oats was 20
cents and today it sells from Sc to
40 cents per bushel. Hogs were
quoted at $3.75 to S4.15. The top
price in Redwood Fails last week was
81 40.
Naturally these wholesale prices
were reflected in the charges made
to the consumer. At that time
fresh creamery butter could be
bought for 16 cents while today the
price is 80 cents. Dairy butter was
II and Is cents, today it is % cents.
Packing stock butter could be dis
posed of for 3 and cents per pound
and now brings in the neighborhood
of 18. Spring chickens were 7 cents
per pound and now they are 20.
Eggs were IL cents per dozen and
now they are 10. Ham which then
sold at IL cents per pound now sells
for from II to 20. Bacon, then 10
cents, is now 17a to 221. Shoulders.
then 43 cents per pound are now 123.
All of which is merely evidence of
the fact that it is a mighty expen-
sive pastime to be aIiye these days.
Of course conditions have changed
in twenty years. Salaries and wages
have increased, though hardly in
proportion. The level of prices and
standards in general have advanced.
The fact remains. however, that the
poor. even the average wage Garner
will find it hard to keep within his
income during the coming winter.
With flour, butter, meat and pota-
toes at top notch prices it is not only
the table of the wealthy that is ex-
pensive. The staples themselves are
the commodities where the highest
prices are noted. .-Exch.

adjustment should be detected.
The water power is ample in spite
of the unusual low stage of the river,
Mr.. Wherland informing US that on

extent of the power which is being
developed by the new project by a
visit to the power house when the
