"A BROKEN IDOL" SCORES
hit AT CALUMET THEATRE

"a Broken Idol". a musical farce
In two acts. was presented before a
crowded house at the Calumet theater
last evening and scored big hit AL
though the field of musical comedy
possibilities has been fairly well cover
ed by previous productions, many new
and novel features are introduced in
"A Broken Idol" coming as delightful
surprises TO the audience, which last
evening showed its appreciation and
prolonged applause.
Probably the best of the new fea-
lures were the living rose bushes, 4"
the human dragon and as a final
climax, the balloon ascension" This
last made the pronounced hit. With
the house i'm complete darkness, a
fiery red balloon drops down upon the
stage in a mysterious manner and
takes on a passenger Miss Perle Barti
who floats out over the audience and
later returns to the stage as myster-
iously as she appears. When the
light are turned on, the balloon has
disappeared and the entire company is
on the stage.
The music of the Broken Idol" is
new and catchy. the setting is elabor-
ate and the choruses well drilled and
deliberately costumed.
The company left little To be desir-
ed. There was enough snap and ener-
gy in their work to make a less pleas
ing production than the Broken Idol
a success. When an actor does his
best, ii covers a multitude of sins, but
in this case there were not a multitude
of sins to cover Few companies that
have visited Calumet threw themselves
into their work with more life and vi
gor than that which presented the
Broken Idol' last evening and the re-
suit was a well satisfied audience
Miss Pearl Barti though one of the
youngest prima donnas on the stage
has a pleasing voice and acted heI
part in an attractive manner.
Jack West, Don A. Macmillan. and
Dan Russell, kept the audience in an
uproar throughout. Their antics were
spontaneous and their humor conta-
,, gious. Sydney Stone as Lord Dunby
the fortune hunter and Madge Carson
as Lucretia Muddleford, with socia
ambitions. were perfectly natural and
added to the strength of the perform
ance. other members of the cast were

DIPHTHERIA is ABATING.

There has been a marked decrease
in the number of diphtheria cases in
Laurium during the past week and it
is stated that the epidemic of this di-
sease has abated. only a few new
cases have been reported and these
are in a milder form than those of a
short time ago. There are fewer
houses under quarantine at present
than for several weeks and il is
thought that the greatest of the danger
has passed.

LAURIUM
LAURIU|M COUNCIL
TO HEAR REPORTS
MANY IMPORTANT MATTERS TO
BE CONSIDERED AT REoU-
LAR MEETING NEXT
TUESDAY EVENING.

The monthly meeting of the Laur-
ium council to be held next Tuesday
evening is likely to prove one of the
most eventful Of the year. In addi-
ton to the usual routine. reports win
be received from the committee named
at the last meeting to investigate the
sewer system, and from the COM
mittee which has been waiting on the
representatives of the c. e. ii. mining
company relative to additional fire
alarm boxes. II is likely that repre-
sentatives OF the brewing companies
with branches in Calumet will meet
with the council relative TO the recent
order demanding that brewers pay the
usual retail license fee of $500 or
cease Of disposing beer by the case.
to private consumers. Other matters
will also be considered.
Considerable interest is manifested
in the report OF the sewer committee.
1t Is thought that the committee will
recommend changes which were sug-
gested in the petition presented to the
council at the last regular meeting and
will also outline a plan for financing
the work to be done. The COMMITTEES
has made necessary measurement
and will probably be in a position TO
announce the estimated cost of the de-
sired Improvement. The need of i'm
provements to the sewer system is
generally recognized by the village Of
ficers and while the season is too far
advanced for active work to be I'M
dertaken this year, it is likely that the
preliminary details will be arranged
before spring.
1t has been practically decided that
Laurium is to have two new fire
already been announced. These will
probably be installed before the win
ter season. The wiring and installa-
ton of the boxes will cost the village
about $500 each.
Street work in the village for the
present year has been practically
brought to a close. Extensive changes
have been made on Pewabic and Iro-
quois streets and these would have
been completed this year, il macadam
rock was available. In addition to
work on these streets a fine new tar
macadam pavement was laid on Os-
ceola street. All of this work was
done by the village employees at a
minimum cost for the tax payers.

UPPER PENINSULA
Sues City for $50, 600

Papers have been served i'm the case
of Matt Grimrod against the city of
Iron Mountain. Mr. Grimrod, who is
locomotive engineer in the employ of
the Chicago e. Northwestern road, re-
siding on Carpenter avenue, will ask
the court to award him damages in the
sum of $4,000. 1t is alleged in his bill
of particulars that on the 2Sth day
of August, while enroute TO his home,
his right foot was caught in a defec-
tive sidewalk at the Harding House
corner-west TAlghtt street and Car
penter avenue-and the leg was twist
ed i'm such a manner as to permanent
ly disable him. He has been unable
to work since the day OF the accident
and has been confined to his home
nearly at the time. Mr.. Grimrod has
recently returned home from Milwau-
kee, where he was examined by Dr.
Lemon, surgeon for the Chicago Mil
waukee & St Paul road. DR.. Lemon is
alleged to have declared that the inju-
ny has raised the knee cap and was of
the opinion that some of the nerves
had been destroyed, and that, should
such prove to be the case. which time
alone could determine. the injury
would undoubtedly prove a permanent
one. The case will come to trial at
the January term of court.
Both Legs Amputated-
Thomas Trotticr, brakeman employ
ed by the Northwestern road at Iron
Mountain, fell under an ore car Satur-
day and had both legs crushed below

ed. Trottier was engaged i'm switch
ing cars when the accident occurred.

Plans Bridge to Cost $4,000
The Delta board of supervisors will
submit to the people at the November
election the proposition of bonding the
county for $4,000 TO build concrete

may be estimated, bring the cost of

DISCOVERED

NJ skogee, Okla, Sept. 2O.-In a
filthy negro shanty in the rear of a
poultry house between Third and
Fourth streets, the police believe they
have unearthed an opium den which
for the past two months, has been ha-
bitually patronized not only by white
men but by white women as well
1t was not until John Ashenhurst,
white man. 80 years of age, and a
gambler about town., died in the ne
gro dive through the effects of an

Of the place was known
Sam Fawcett, the negro proprietor
of the den, is in jail awaiting the pre-
sentiment of charges sagainst him.
While the coroner's jury did not name
Fawcett in Its verdict there were
members Of the jury who favored the
finding that Ashenhurst met his death
through an overdose OF opium 4admin-
istered by Sam Fawcett.7 The verdict
returned read that the man died from
the effects Of an overdose Of bad
whiskey and opium.
A complete opium outfit was taken
from the place by Captain Sam
Smalley and Patrolman Bill Tulk. It
included several pipes, opium jars and
the knives for "rolling." The police
believe that Fawcett is merely the
fence for white man who owns the
den.
