DRAMATIC ATTRACTION
est. Elmo" Big Fair Week Attraction
at langd0n's Theatre Given on
Wednesday Night

Manager Harry G. Waldron announces
that the excellent play "St. Elmo" will
be presented at the Langdon opera
house next Wednesday evening July
18th. The announcement will be
received with interest by an unusually
large percentage of the population for
practically every one has read this
sterling work of fiction. The book, from
which the play has been carefully taken.
was written by Augusta j. Evans more
than forty years ago but, notwithstaud-
ing the lapse of time, it is still highly
priced volume in every home library
years ago and right today at every
bookstore runs the "six best sellers"
close race for popularity. This gener-
ations have praised "St. Elmo" and it is
curious fact that theatrical producers
have not before appropriated it to their
uses. 1t Is less than a year ago that
Grace Hayward, the popular actress
dramatlst and author Of the play
| "Graustark," undertook dramatization
of the famous old novel. The present
play is the result of more than six
months labor and and that the time
was we'll spent is evidenced by the
instaneous success of Miss Hayward's
version. The play is genuine triumph
both from an artistic and financial point
of view In fact, among theatrical folk,
it is the talk of the year. The manage
ment guarantees that this city will
receive the original company in it's
entirety, cast of absolute trustworthi-
ness and production in harmony with
the general merits of the entertainment

Fort. Hays Park.

One of the dreams of the manage
ment of the State Experiment Station
here is to retain the remaining part Of
the Old Fort Quarters as memorial
park in remembrance of the many
famous officers and regiments that had
been located here. They had the old
guard house and the block house with
its port holes for firing, and later used
by the Adjutant as headquarters, while
the old hospital building is the assis-
tant superintendent residence, but the
old Colonel's residence, that has housed
many noted COlonels, now Generals or
dead, was given to the State Normal
in the division Of the reservation for
the use of the principal and has been
kept in repair. Now that the Normals
use it no more, the Experiment sta
ton has secured it for their park. Civ
ing q thousand dollars in labor for it.
It will now become a part of that park
and q land mark for all time. There
may be q fourth Of July celebration
there, a flag pole erected and flag
raising like in the olden times With
trees planted there and the old parade
grounds restored it will make a lovely
park to show strangers who ask about

A Public Library.

Our reading public and the Library
folks were much elated on Monday in
receiving letter from Andrew Carne-
gle saying that he would furnish the
Library Board $4,000 In cash To build a
library building in our city if the city
would agree to contribute $500 a year
to its support and buying of new books.
AS this would be less than half mill
taxation on our valuation, the amount
per 100 would be very small indeed and
the Library Board see no reason why
it cannot be carried out easily
Several locations for the building are
me ntioned and it is suggested that the
Commissioners allow it to be built on
the Court House square on Chestnut
street opposite the DR.. Catudal resi-
eence. But some question whether Mr..
Carnegie will furnish the money un-
less the library have title clear to the
land, and that will have to be settled
by later correspondence after the
Council have met and accepted the
offer and by ordinance made the appro-
priation for the required support. But
maybe some public spirited citizen will
come forward and give the Library the
needed land, like was done in the loca-
tion Of the Court House and some of
the churches. Now is q chance for
offers to be made. It ought not to be
on our business streets where noise
will continually interfere. or where in
a few years business houses will locate
all around it and it will stand as a pe=-
petual barrier for business house to
build on that location, but it should be
more in our residence part where nice
private residences in time may build
around it giving it quiet yet attractive
surroundings. There are number of
such locations in our city.
OF course everybody want it in the
Court house yard if it can be had.
The Council met Thursday night and
legally accepted the gift and made the
$500 year appropriation.
