YOUNG TnfSPIANS
High School Seniors Present
Their Class OFFERING
TWO PLAYS ARE GIVEN
Nine Members of the Graduating
Class ACquit Themselves Well
As Actors

The senior class play has come to be
one of the established institutions oil
the high school. Following in the
steps of their predecessors, the class
of 1910 made it's appearance on the
boards at the Grand Opera House
Saturday evening. The general yer.
dict was that the amateur actors ac-
quilted themselves creditably. Some
one or more members of preceding
classes may have exhibited more dra-
matte ability, but it is doubtful Whet-
her better balanced production has
heretofore been given. Each perform
er took his or her part well, and things
moved with little or no friction. A
capacity house greeted the young
Thespians, thereby assuring salts
factory condition of affairs at the box
office.
The class offered two productions, a
one act comedy entitled 1.-THE Lieu
tenants Escape, and a three act dra-
ma, The 'Elopement of Elem.
The first production was playlet
depicting scenes at the time of the
Revolution. The characters were a
young lady heroine, an American Off
Ger and British aide de camp of
CORVALLIS. These parts were taken
respectively by Miss Florence Compton
Leo Hedin and Elmer Hatch. The
costuming was true to Continental
times and quite realistic. A number
of dramatic situations kept the inter-
est at the proper pitch. Each of the
representations was very creditable.
'.The Elopenent of Ellen" afforded
scope for the talents of seven men,
bers of the class. The production was
very prettily staged, especially the two
garden scenes. Misses Ruth Compton,
Jessie Thomson and Jessie Crandall
took the female parts, the male char
acters being represented by Edwin
Madsen, Herbert Butler, Elmer Hatch
and Elmer Hendry. Numerous laugh
able situations were depicted, afford
ing side-tickling incidents to keep the
audience in excellent humor. The
costuming was good and the different
scenes offered opportunity for the
young ladies to display pretty toilets.
There was no bright, particular ''star"
but each part was well taken and
each character satisfactorily portrayed.
Between the two offerings, a male
quartet consisting of Leo Hedin, first
tenor: Elmer Hendry, second tenor;
Edwin Madsen, first bass; Thoeny
Austin, second bass; rendered a selec-
tien in manner that elected merited
applause. 1t was the first appearance
of the quartet in public and surprised
the audience very pleasantly.
To Miss Mcmillan and other high
school teachers is due much credit for
their work in training the young peo-
pie i'm their parts and looking after
affairs i'm connection with the produc-
tion. Supt. Angus had charge of the
business end and looked after the box
office.
Miller's band of twenty pieces look
ed after the orchestratisn and furnish,
ed good music. The band donated
their services, which fact was fully
appreciated.

MRS. BARNUMDIES
Early Settler OF Sank Centre
Passes Away
ALMOST FOUR SCORE
Woman Who Endured nardships IN
Pioneer Days of Minnesota Goes
to Her Reward

Mrs. E. P Barnum died at the
home of her daughter-in-law, Mrs.
Frank Barnum, in Saltwater, at 5
a. m. Wednesday. The news reached
here in the form of a telegram to
Lucas Kells few hours after Mrs.
Barnum had passed away. Mrs
Barnum had been i'm poor health for
some time, and her death was not
unexpected.
Miss Irene Barnum was born in
1888 at Stonington, Conn, and was
married to her cousin, E. p. Baruum
in 1852. They lived in Michigan a
few years, and came to Sank Centre
in 1857. Mr.. Barnum was proprietor
of the Sank Centre House from that
time until 1874. Both Mr.. Barnum
and his estimable wife were very
popular with the travelling public.
Many of those who today are middle
aged men can lood back to the time
when Mrs. Barnum was a mother to
them. 1t was her nature to be good
to those without a home. She was
of a bright, cheerful disposition,
always looking on the best side of
everybody. Her joyous, happy
laugh has cheered many a one out of
gloom and dependency.
Mr.. and Mrs. Barnum lived from
1874 to 1892 in the home now owned
by J. HI. Book on east Third street.
Their home was always open to church
gatherings and social affairs and
was delightful place to go.
Mrs. Barnum was deyout member
.of>the Episcopal churh, active in all
the departments and gave of freely her
time and means to the cause.
In 1892 Mr.. Barnum was elected to
the Office of clerk of the district court
of Stearns county, and it was necessary
to remove to St. Cloud. They bought
a beautiful home on Sixth Ave-, in
that city, and made their home there
until Mr.. Barnum's death sin 1902.
Mrs. Barnum then sold the home and
arranged her affairs in such manner
that she was free to live where she
chose. She boarded several years in
Sank Centre and the remainder of
the time in ST. Paul.
Three children were born to Mr..
and Mrs. Barnum, two.dying in child
hood. A son, Frank, died about two
years ago. He was, for number Of
years, editor and proprienor of the
Sank Ceutre Avalanche. After his
death Mrs. Barnum failed rapidly,
and soon went to live with
the sons widow, that she might
have the care given her that was
necessary in her old age and feeble
condition. She is mourned by all
the old timers and host Of other
friends.
The remains arrived here We'd

Frank Barnum, and were taken to
the residence of w. McNiece. The
funeral will take place at 10a. m.
