Hadley's Moving Pictures Friday
Evening.

The we'll known Edwin J. Hadley
moving picture show appears at Sea-
ver's hall Friday evening with many
beautiful films of foreign countries,
very instructive. Hadley has the
reputation of giving one of the best
shows in the country, his films being
clear, and almost flick erless. The fol-
lowing is taken from an exchange
The realistic noise effects with the
pictures are very we'll produced. The
audience, of course. cannot see the
scene behind the stage, where the
most interesting part of the perform
ance takes place. Here ten or more
men work at various machines neces.
sary to produce the effects. such as
hcof beats, thunder, the crash of ar
tillery and rifles, the roar of waves,
the throb of an automobile. etc.

BARTON CURRENT TOMORROW.

Theltrustees inform the Monitor that
tomorrow without doubt current for
Barton's electric light and power sys-
tenn will be had. The penstock was
completed Tuesday and the water
turned on today but several small
matters of trueing up the shafting
for the new water wheel, drying out
fthe certain electrical apparatus,
etc., will take up the day. 1t is good
news for all, but especially the Or
leans and Glover people, who have
been having no lights whatever for
the past two weeks and half from
their wires. 1t is certainly hoped
that the current will be on. as nearly
everyone is more or less inconven-
fenced now
