The st Paul commercial men rep
resenting the jobbers and manufac-
turers of that city reached Malta last
Thursday at 12-45p. M, one day later
than scheduled time. They were
given a warm welcome by the
ever hospitable people of Malta and
soon were scattered about the busi-
ness district of the city. The Miune-
sofa State Band accompanying the del
egation, dispensed some exquisite
music near the train and on Front
street, which was much appreciated.
Their stay here was limitedto 80 min
utes but long enough for them to ex-
press themselves as favorably i'm
pressed with our town and the future
of the Milk River Valley. The day
of their visit will long be remem-
bered.
An Immortal Play Greeted as a
Welcome Visitor everywhere. One can
not help but wonder how it is that
"uncle Tom s CABIN always provesa a
drawing card, and yet there is nothing
very wonderful about it when once the
plot and presentation of this realistic
drama is taken into conside ration.
We have read "Uncle Toms Cabin"
as many as twenty times and always
with absorbing interest: and it seems
as if we enjoy the last better than any
previous rendition. There are some
plays, like "Uncle Toms Cabin and
''Ten Nights in a Bar Room" that will
never wear out. There is that about
the plot of "Uncle Toms Cabin"
combination drama, comedy, wit,
humor pathos all blended 50 naturally
and realistically that the audience
lives thru it all, become part of the
players on the stage, and have their
sympathies aroused to a degree that
makes them feel as if they were wit
Messing a real drama of every day life.
Burk's "Uncle Toms Cabin Co" is
the largest and best company present
ing this popular drama, don't fail to
see this one. At Malta July s. Un-
der Big Canvas.
