many empty bottles and pack OF

scurried across the hearth into the
darkness beyond. The three men
shifted their feet and looked at each
other uneasily. After lapse the
lawyer spoke. 81 know what you

Would Install Stone Crusher.

We are in touch, through our pa
per, with a certain party in Cedar
Rapids who wishes to help open up
and develop a good stone quarry in
this section. His idea is to install
a stone crushing plant and to market
the stone among the contractors and
builders in the county at a cheaper
rate than they have had to pay in
the past. We suggest to any of our
readers who have an option on a
stone quarry, that they correspond

Three of the acts take place in England
and one in Brussels. One of the greatest
acts on the stage today is the second one
palace of the Duchess of Richmond in
Brussels. The date is June Il, 1915, or
four days before Napoleon was beaten by
the English at Waterloo. The ball is
the one mentioned in history at which
the Duke of Wellington was Informed of
the defeat of the Prussian army at Ligny
and of the advance of Napoleon upon
Brussels.
The settings used in this act are 'beauti-
full and the costumes worn are correct
in the smallest detail. The act is the
climax of the piece and it is worth the
price of the tickets to the entire play to
witness it. In it Becky''s soldier husband

At the Majestic.

If your sides get sore easily stay away
from the Majestic this week, by all
means. # YOU go you'll have to '1aff''
because The Girl In White" Collierized
comedy, is being presented by the North
Players this week and it is the kind of
piece that will tickle you. This play was
Willie Golfers vehicle to fame and fortune
1t is a hit because it is funny and funny
because its lines make it so. There is
not one dull moment in the entire play.
Action is in order every minute. Every
body moves. The audience shakes with
merriment and the actors move as they
play theis parts. 1.-The Girl In White is
all laughter and action.
Sport North is back at work again this
week. North is stout and some say he
is growing stouter, In this respect he is
unlike Willie Collier. North is playing
the part which made Willie famous and
he IS playing it for all it is worth. Sport
North aways takes the pains to give the
people the best he has to offer but this
week he is much better than usual.
Miss Russell fills a difficult part with
credit As to exactly what this role is it
would be wrong to give it away. 1t is one
or the most original ever seen here and is
as lar away from the lines of the ordinary
part as is the sky from the earth.
If you want to drive away your cares
and enjoy good clean comedy that will
tickle and please you just go to the Ma
iestic.

PUTS BLAME ON
EAST 0RAkGEF0R
WELLS GOING DRY
Livingston Thinks 1t Is Now Up
to City to Supply
~ Water.

L~iviegston g going dry. The wells
IN thsre are about exhausted and now
the city of East Orange is being ap-
peaied to for relief and the residents dc
not hesitate in saying that the city II
securing water in White Oak Ridge by
digging a new group of wells is respon-
sible for present conditions.
President Edwards, of the Livingston
School Board, went before the East
Orange Water Board last night, along
with A. w. Fund. TO get the city to dig
new wells. The school well has gone
dry, as has the one on Mr.. Funas
property. C. Lee Russell couldn't get
down very well, so he wrote a letter
asking for a new well.
President Edwards and Mr.. Fund had
Quite a discussion with members oil
the board and placed the whole respon-
sibi1ity on the city. The board was oil
q different mind, however, and claimed
the dry spell vas really responsible
1t was finally decided to take the CIV
ing OF new wells under consideration.
Some time ago Engineer Arthur A.
Reimer dug a well for one resident OF
Livingston, and ever since there have
been applications of a similar char
acter.
The residents of Livingston are get
ting a supply now from the old town
brook, and the cattle is dependent upon
the same supply. Boiled snow has
been a luxury also during the past few
days, but the residents say they would
much rather prefer using well water
again.
In order to further increase and pro-
tect it's supply East Orange has begun
condemnation proceedings to secure
more property al the Ridge. and a
further hearing on securing h Meeker
tract will be held Friday afternoon.
The Meeker side will probably complete
it's Ease then. and the city will take a
few days to get its expert testimony
together, and 1t is not expected that
more thar two days will be required
TO complete the hearing.
The board last night transferred
s18, 900 to the sinking fund.
