morning for two weeks visit at
Chicago and in Indiana and Michi-
gan. Mr.. Nolan tells us that she will
inspect the farm he recently pur-
chased in Michigan and which he
says he intends to plant to pepper
mint. He says that he is going to

The North Western has taken off
two Of the passenger trains west OF
| Pierre. The train that leaves here
for the west at six o'clock in the
morning only goes as far as Pierre
and the train that m in frim the
west Just before midnight starts nov
al Pierre. The other two passengers

had read Mary J. Holmes LENA
Rivers and decided to see the play
taken from between it's overs. Con
seauently the interest taken in the
coming of the play is out Of the or
binary. The comedy Is said to be
the best seen by the public this sea
son. Since it's production 1t has been
praised as the best dramatizatior
made in years, and it produces in g
marvelously fateful way all the prin
cipal scenes, characters and incidents
of the book. Many of its scenes are
described as excruciatingly funny
The company to be seen in the play
is one Of ~all-around cleverness.
