THE MUSIC HALL GIRL
AT MEMORIAL HALL

If you want to see a rafting good
farce comedy with music that is full
of fresh, breezy, wholesome laughter
and that will send you home whistling
its merry airs, then take an afternoon
or night off and attend the performance
of the Music Hall Girl at the Memorial
Hall theatre next Friday. From the
time the curtain goes up to when it
comes down there is always something
doing and that something is so ripping
that you really can't afford to miss it,
The cast is an excellent one, and radi-
ate humor, and good humor, enough
to cheer up an sylum of incurable pes
simists. American audiences don't
care for deep and subtle jokes. They
like WittlciSm that hits 'em right be-
tween the eyes biff-bang, and not
something they will have to think out
and whose point they may not catch
until the next day. Seats on sale at
Kemble- Cochran's Cos store Thursday

Mrs. Krauss was formerly Miss Dali

History of the Case.

The second trial of Minority Leader
Browne was begun August and was
stubbornly contested. One of the re-
markable features of the case was the
summoning of nine venires of one hun.
dred men each before the jury was Sc
cured.
The basis of the indictment against
Browne was that he had bribed Rep
resentative Chas. A. White to vote fol-
William Lorimer for United States
senator at the close of the deadlock
session of the state legislature.
Browne was specifically charged
with having paid $3.50 to White in
the Briggs house in Chicago after hav.
ing given him $3.50 in Springfield.
The charges which were ihcorporat.
ed in confession by Representative
White started statewide investiga-
CATION of alleged corruption.
Browne is candidate in his home
district for seat in the next legisla-
ture.
