An investigation of the charges pre-
ferred against 4. l.. Derse, superinten-
dent Of the asylum for the insane for
Dodge county, in which it was alleged
that he was cruel and inhuman in his
treatment of patients, was held at Ju-
neau Monday and Tuesday. The evil
dence adduced at the hearing sustained
the charges and Mr.. Derse will probably
be dismissed.

90 Many Wives"

A new breezy musical farce entitled
Too Many Wives" is the announced
attraction at the Gennett theater
This class of entertainment is extre-
mely popular with the patrons of this
playhouse. No wonder. The plots are
elastic, and admit OF the introduction
of clever specialties, numerous catchy
songs, pretty girls il spirited dances
and Kaleidoscope stage pictures, all
contributing to an ever-Changing en-
tertainment that amuses but never
tires. Joe Morris IS the star of this
particular play and his clever work
in Lovers and Lunatics' made many
friends in this city. His new role of
'Isidore Meyer gives him greater OPP
portunities and is one Of his best
pieces Of character work. The sup
porting company is an excellent one
and includes large number of pref
ty chorus girls and show girls.

Otis Skinner.

Otis SINNERS pronounced success
in New York last year, at the Hudson
theater, in The Honor of the Family
will go down to stage history as the
first success achieved behind the foot
lights of a decentralization of a Balzac
novel. Although the play differs wide
ly from the Balzac novel Menage de
Garcon," upon which it is founded, the
characterizations are all typical of the
author of the "Comedia Humane"
The part of Col. Philippe Bridau en-
ables Otis Skinner to shine in a pic
turesque and masterful way as none
OF his previous stage creations have
permitted him to do. OF his support
ing company, Messrs. Andrews, Car
lyle, Hudson, Wleelock, Scott and
Miss Percy Haswell are worthy Of
highest praise for their admirable i'm
presentations. The Honor Of the
Family was one of the genuine pop
ular successes Of the past season in
New York where it ran for four
months. Will be seen at the Gennett
theater Jan. %.

To Have Longer Trial.

1t is the almost unanimous decision
of the committees and the board that
school legislation passed two years
ago has not been tried long enough
and that for this reason. some of these
laws will not be repealed. If there is
any good in them. the board believes
that it will be brought out before the
next regular session of the legislature.
The present wage of the county SUI
perintendents is $3.50 per diem. This
amount is admittedly too low for the
majority of the county superinten-
dents and it is probable that this SEES
sion CT the legislature will enact a
law whereby they are put on a resu-
lar salary basis. Several plans were
suggested whereby this might be
done.
