Lena Rivers" captured the hearts
| of Warsaw's best theater goers last
evening when she was greeted with a
full house, deserving tribute to her
talents and those of her associates
The company, every way considered
is one of the very best that ever trod
the boards of Warsaw's opera house

to appear again next week. The gen
eral opinion expressed was that Lena
is the most charming soubrette tha
ever appeared before Warsaw audi

cultured woman, she was equally al
artist. May her shadow never grow

While the papers are discussing tn
plans of the Santa Fe of building
! high bridge at or near Hamilton let u
not forget that Warsaw is near Ham
ilton, and the best point on the rive

/ here perhaps the b. o. might build il
/ from Beardstown only fifty-two mile
away. What's the matter with Wal
saw? She's all right.
