duction, embellished with new and
tasteful scenery and costumes of rich
ness and value As the costumes and
scenery are new, so are also the spe-
cialties, music, dances and ensembles
The entire production has been made
by the management a glittering spec
tacle, and no expense has been spared
to have everything of the highest class
There is a cheerfulness and gaiety
about Mr.. Opper's genial hobo which.
when put in dramatic form. makes his
influence well nigh irresistible. When
the curtain goes up. the most chronic
case of detection gives way to good
feeling, and the misanthrope becomes
at once a creature who views life with
rays of the sun shining in his mind.
There are no dumps. blue devils. va
pours, megrims or hypochondriasis in
Happy Hooligan.' Instead. there is
life, alacrity of spirit and pure hilar-
ity. which never fails 10 smooth the

Attention is being called by the
game wardens to the danger of the
loss Of great numbers of game fish by
the freezing of the shallow sloughs
and ponds along the rivers. The low
stage of water everywhere has left the
sIoughs where the game fish make
their usual haunts so low that often
the water will probably be frozen TO

cases there seems little chance now

from Rock Island at the annual ses-

prefer the earlier date. According

REPORTS All BOsH.

Said Mr.. Van Calder today: II
understand that there are reports
going the rounds to the effect that
Rock Island will not be in the run
ming this year. but you can quote
me as saying these are all hOsh. We
will be in the Three-Eye league
with a team that will uphold the
reputation we have made in for
mer years and which will make the
other teams go some TO beat us. 1t
is nonsense, this talk of making a
new circuit with a Glass c rating.
Our finances during the past year
have been none too good. but there
is no intention TO throw up the
sponge or lessen our rating any.
However, we do stand for . more
economical management of the
league and of the clubs. but our
plan does not seek 10 lessen the
dignity of the league in any way"
