SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT
WAS A GREAT SUCCESS

Cnildren, UnQer direction OF MISS Han
son, Played Splendidly. Singing
Was Rare Treat.
Before an exceptionally large
audience in the city Opera House
last evening, the pupils of the lower
grades of til e Bemidji public schools
presented a three-act operetta en-
titled boy Blue" in a manner which
is the delight of the city.
All of the children played their
parts excellently and in way that
showed that too much credit could
not be given Miss Hanson for
the thorough and efficient manner
in which they were drilled. Little
Clara Decaire and Dorothy T ORANGE,
who played the parts respectively Of
boy Blue" and Molly" did splen-
didly. Miss Alley had also given
invaluable assistance in the prepare
ton of the play by accompanying
the children at the piano.
The entertainment was opened
with a song by the High School
Girls Glee club. A mixed double
quartette sang beautifully and this
was followed by another excellent
selection from the glee club. The
play itself was unusually good, the
companions of boy Blue and
Molly" the frogs, the frehies and
the elves in beautiful drills and
quaint costumes delighting the audi
ence greatly.
The teachers and pupils of the
local schools are in need of another
piano at the central building and
it was with the intention of supply
ing this deficit that the operetta
was presented to the public last
evening, after several weeks of hard
drill by Miss Hanson and the other
teachers. The entertainment proved
very successful financially and over
800 was collected.

Evansville

Mrs w r Phillips was in Edgerton
Tuesday to visit her father, Richard
Houfe, who celebrated his Seth birth
day.
Very few couples have the great pleas
ure of celebrating a golden wedding
anniversary, but that lot befell John
Winston and wife of this city, who with
some two score of their friends, cele-
brated such an event Tuesday evening
Presents suitable to such an occasion
jOyed by all.
Elliott D Barnard, an old and highly
respected resident of Evansville, died
at o'clock Friday morning at his home
in this city. He had been i'll for the
past five months. The deceased was 80
years of age, and, with the exception
of three years spent in California had
lived in Evansville over 81 years. Mr.
Barnard was born in Chautauqua coun-
ty, N Y, August 81, 1927. The early
years of his life were spent on his faith
er's farm, his early education consist
ing in attendance at the district school.
In 1847 he came west to Wisconsin,
locating on farm of 40 acres west of
Evansville In 1850 when the ''gold
fever" struck the country, Mr. Barnard
was among those to journey across the
continent but returned to Rock county
In 1853 and invested in 100 acres of land
in the town of Center. In the fall of
1879 he engaged in the tobacco business
with Thomas Hudson, but retired from
the business several years ago. He was
married in March, 1850, to Miss Susan
Webb. Besides the widow, several
children, Mrs Dan Rogers, Mrs John
Sperry and Mrs Blanche West of Ev-
ansville, Mrs Frank Palmer of James
vile, Mrs Leonard Lees of Milwaukee,
and Shasta E and Charles d Barnard of

county had so many lucky numbers in
the Standing Rock and Cheyenne land
lottery as did Deerfield. Four of it's

Quite number of people from this
place attended the funeral of Charles
Kanouse at Mcfarland last Thursday.
Mr. Kanouse died at the hospital in

groom wore the conventional black and
was supported by his brother, Joseph
Hoel. After the marriage ceremony
the bridal party returned to the home
of Mr. and Mrs S E Simonsen where
wedding dinner was served at $50
o'clock.
On Friday evening of last week Geo
Ammund, butcher at Gilbert's meat
market, was taken violently i'll some
where about midnight with ptomaine
poisoning. He was alone in the house
and had quite time summoning as
sistance. He managed to crawl down
stairs on his hands and knees and by
the aid of the telephone summon DR.
Olson, who worked over him the re-
mainder of the night. Twice during
the night he was so low that it was
feared he would not pull through, but
at present he is again able to be out.
1t is supposed he was poisoned by can
ned beans which he ate at supper. On
Tuesday night of this week Earle Hen
jun was taken sick in the same way,
but on account of calling doctor soon
er was not in as serious condition. He
was poisoned from eating canned corn
beef. DR. Olson attended him.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all it's stages, and that is
catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medical fra
ternity. Catarrh being constitutional
disease. requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surface of the system, there
by destroying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength by
