COURSE OF ENTERTAINMENTS.
 Get Your Tickets Early,

Bear in mind the course of four entertainments which the Mems Club
 is to give this winter and get your tickets early, A ti,i for the entire course of four splendid entertain- ments eonis only sl and by getting them now you avoid all further thou- ble; don't have to wait in line at the ticket office each night and take whatever seats may be left; and then it's cheaper, as tickets for single en- tertainments are 35c each. The artA ists have been secured from New York. They are trst class and will give performances well worth at- tending. The first entertainment, November 2, Will be by the Three Star Novelty Co.,, and will consist of music, Representations and singing; the second on November 26, will be an evening of magic by first class magician who will mystify and puzzle the audience; the third will be on the evening of December 21, and humorous recitations and impersona- tions will be the order of the eyen- ing; the fourth, on January 28, will be a grand windup of songs, stories and banjo selections. All the above for the very small sum of s1. There will surely be a brisk demand for seats, so apply early while there is a choice. Tickets at R. H. Beers & Co.,, and Taylor, Curtis & Co.

He was 72 years of age and had suffered from a complication of diseases resulting from his advanced years and arduous labors in the West.

His father was Rev Dr George Emlen Hare, the principal of the Episcopal Academy of Philadelphia.

Plaintiff Non- Suited.

On Wednesday morning the case was resumed with C.. B. Glover on the witness stand. A letter was read from Paul Sanford of St Paul, Minn., and Henry Gibson again testified briefly. The plaintiff then rested. Attorney w. H. O'Hara then entered a demurrer He moved for judg- ment as of non-suit, because it ap- peared from the evidence adduced by the plaintiff that the invasion of their property alleged in the con- plaint as threatened by the defend ant was made, or had taken place, on August, 1908, and before this pro- ceeding or action was commenced. And that by reason of this the plain tiff had, and, and still has, other adequate remedy at law. Judge Bur- pee sustained the demurrer and in briefly commenting on the case said in substance: The action was brought under Section 4053 of the General Statute, which provides for settling title to land where no other remedy exists at the common law, This was the construction which the Supreme Court placed upon the statute in the decision in the 18th of Connecticut, referred to by counsel. It was clear ly proved by the testimony of MT Gibson, upon the cross-eXamination, that the repairs upon the dam and the flooding of the land of the plain tiffs had all occurred in the month of August, 1908, and that the plain tiffs had adequate remedy at the com mon law for the flooding of the prop erty. The present action having been commenced in the month of Sep tember, 1908, and after the trespass had been committed, cannot under the construction placed upon the statute by the Supreme Court in the case referred to, (the 18th of Con- necticut,) have any other interpre- tation. The defendants motion for a judgment as of non-suit was there fore granted.
 Attorneys Boardman and c. c. Morris appeared for the plaintiff and Attorney w. H. 0'Hara for the de- fendant.
