one document, which it is proposed
to put before the various range
cities, and after adoption such fran

to look over, and the preliminary
steps relative to securing of the

with. The idea was preached at the
County Club meeting by Mr.. Dowl-
ing of Eveleth, and Mr.. Hearding

: sst : Nossas's May''.

Whichswill app.ar at the Fay OPP
era on Saturday, May 8, 10 a new
play by q new author and 10 being
received everywhere by crowded
houses and welcomed as q new de.
parture in melodrama, startling in
conception and daring in treatment.
In his treatment of a great fault
that besets the people of today, Mr..
Pascoe has handled cleverly, boldly
and with tact play that, until now,
no playwright has ventured to ex-
pound to the public. He deals with
the mostcomplex situations truth
fully, naturally, and his dialogue
is clean and convincing and leaves
the audience with a clear. concep
ton of what they have witnessed.
No play in recent years has been 80
successful from the start and the
reason is readily understood.

tornado reported Friday at Dallas,
which killed eleven and injured many
and which blew a Mexican & Orient
train off the track, shows what the
comet has already done in the south;
1t has destroyed by fire timber
stretches in New Brunswick, where
there has been no rain in more than
a month.
So far, the comet head has kept
out of sight. There is chance that
today, when the body of the moon
will thrust itself between the sun
and earth at nightfall, the sky may
be so suddenly darkened as to reveal
the head of the comet in the north
west. Should that not then occur the
head will probably appear in natural
course early in July. 1t will then
have proceeded beyond the earth and
from then on it will trouble other
spheres than this. After passing the
earth the light it will throw back
this way will give it the appearance
of having three tails instead of two
as at present.
