"THE BELLE OF JAPAN"

That there is certain charm
about everything, connected
with Japan cannot be denied
and that, that country has not
been used before in which to
lay the action of comedy
Drama is rather strange, and
the only conjecture is that
authors have not made a study
of that strange land. 1t re-
manned for William Wamsher
to commission, that wellknown
American dramatist, HI. Graf
tan Donnelly, to take up that
country and present it to the
theatregoers in it's true light.
To be accurate and to gain full
knowledge of the Japanese, Mr..
Wamsher made a trip to Japan
and his observations while
there furnished him his plot
for his comedy drama, that will
be a revelation to all.
The beautiful scenery and
customes will be especially at.
tractive but even they will be
secondary compared to the
singing, dancing, and comedy
which prevails throughout the
entire performance. That ca.
pacity house will greet this at
traction, there is no doubt, and
therefore it is advisable to ar.
range for tickets early. 9TH
Belle of Japan" will be at the
Opera House Saturday, Sept. 4.

PlCKP0CKETS MAKE A HAUL HERE
Jostle Stranger at the Burlington Station and
and Relieve Him Of $125.

Two bold pickpockets made
touchdown and a clean getaway
with a roll of 1925 at the local Bur-
lington depot last Wednesday. AS
the passengers were alighting from
the train from the north two stran-
gers jostled T. j. Guiton of Gran
ger, Mo-, and swiped a wallet con-
tanning the bills from his pants
pocket. Mr.. Guiton had grip in
each hand and did not know he had
been robbed until a lady who saw
the operation informed him and
pointed out the men who did it.
The thieves had already gotten
good start and soon disappeared
around the livery barn, went south
through s. Bakers yard and dis
appeared into corn field. Several
men gave chase but they could not
be overtaken and were seen no
more. Guiton was on his way to
Oregon and wouldn't stop to try
and capture the robbers, but con-
tinued his journey On train 43. At
st. Joseph he telegraphed back that
he would not prosecute the men if
caught, so they are allowed to 60
and continue their operations else

What the LacIede School Offers

The Laclede high school for the
coming year offers as strong a
course as any high school in the
county. Not only is the regular
four year Latin or college prepara-
tory course offered, but three cour-
ses not requiring the Latin are
offered: An English course, offer
ing four years of history; scien-
tific course, offering three years of
science and two of German; and an
elective course, in which the student
takes the required subjects and
selects from the other courses what
ever else he desires. Complete
outlines of all these courses are
given in the catalogue. The La
clede high school is not the only
high school in the county offering
such courses. However, with able
teachers, excellent teaching faeili-
ties and a small enrolment, perhaps
better work can be done here than
in any other school in the county.
Added to this, as an inducement to
nonresident students, is the fine
school spirit existing among the
students and patrons, and the ex-
,ellent moral and social life of the
community.
