Morton Bowman was up before
Justice Markham Wednesday after
noon On the charge of drunkenness,
and the case has some sad features.
MI. Bowman has been down to Iowa
to get his three children, whose ages
range from three to v years. His
wife died a year ago and the children
have been with relatives. When he
got to Mitchell Mr.. Bowman COM
menced drinking and became quite
intoxicated, sc much so that the po-
lice had to take care of him. He
left his children at the Mitchell hotel
and there was no one to look after
them. The attention of the Salvation
Army was called to the case and Cap
tain Johnson took care of the little
folks for several days, and she has
gone to considerable trouble for the
children.
For several year Plankinton has
been without an opera house, and
there has been no place for a pubic
gathering of any kind. A number of
the business men have taken hold of
the proposition to start such an en-
terprise at once. Committees have
been appointed to purchase a site to
plans and specifications and
to solicit funds. The men will form
a corporation with a capital stock of
$4,000 and half that amount viii
be used in the construction of the
building. 1t is expected the opera
house will have a frontage of SO feet,
giving space for two storerooms be-
low with the opera house on the sec
ond floor.
1t was unfortunate that there was
lot a larger audience out to hear
Ole Theobaldi Wednesday evening at
the Gale theatre, for a splendid must
cal treat vas missed by those VINO
failed to go. Theoba1di is an artist
in the full sense of the word, as was
shown by the selections which he
played with such faultless technique,
rich Interpretation and aided by his
enthusiastic temperament. The selec-
tionS that he rendered We're i'm the
main classical, yet the splendid tones
which he brought out on his violin
made the selections appear less diff
ficult of understanding on the part of
the audience. The vibratory power
of the violinist vas something mar
v%elons, and the control of the VIC
lin seemed even more than human.
T~heobaldi's engagement was made
possible by the Odd Fellows, who
brought him here.
Well, the truth of the matter is
just this. Fire Marshal Craft didn't
