OPERA HOUSE PROPOSITION
\ Further Explanation of the
Generous Proposition Mr..
Happe Makes the City

The opera house matter seems TO
have been misunderstood by some. We
have consulted with w. c. Happe again
in the matter and had it more fully
explained to us.
The 600 tickets to be sold by the Com
mercial club really carry no donation to
the opera house, for the owner agrees
to put on a first-class entertainment
for three nights during fair week with
one the best companies to be secured,
and at the close of each nights show
to furnish music for a dance to all
holders of tickets.
Mr.. Happe's proposition to the clubs
and societies is that they raise $1,000,
and the clubs and societies to sell men,
bership tickets for that amount which
will entitle the holders to a free use
for one year of the reading room and
gymnasium which will be fitted up and
kept warm and lighted by the opera
house management. The reading room
will contain newspapers, magazines
and all of the books which are to be
received through contributions. The
gymnasium will be equipped better than
any gymnasium between ST. Paul and
Tacoma, WASH, and will be first-class
in every particular. After the first
year the clubs are to have the use of
these rooms at a monthly rental of
$4,000.
1t will clearly be seen that Mr.. Happe
is really receiving only $500 above what
he is returning value received for, and
it seems to us that the proposition
should meet with the most generous
response on the part of all of our citi-
ZenS.

WILL GO To WEST POINT
Webster High School Boy Passes
Examination For Cadestship
at L. 5. Military Academy.

Some time in the early part of this
winter, Frank Niece, who is attending
the public schools in this city and who
has made quite record having taken
the four-year course in three with very
good prospects of finishing away up at
the top of his class received the
appointment from Senator Gamble for
cadetship at West Point military
academy. OF course the government
requires very stringent examination.
and the boy, while hoping to overcome
all objections and meet the educational
requireh ents, was a little nervous as
to the outcome of the examination
which was held in st. Louis during the
early part of January, but he was one
of the happiest young men in the world
when he received notice this morning
that he had been successful.
We congratulate the young man and
sincerely hope he will continue to
improve the opportunities presented to
him as he has in the past, and if he
does, he will make record in the mill
tary academy of which the whole state
viii be proud.

HETLEY CASE DISPOSED OF

States Attorney Anderson to compel
him to show cause why he did not GUST
County Superintendent Hetley from
Office, ETC., was tried before the court
Wednesday afternoon, and after listen
ing to the arguments the court dis
solved the proceedings.
We have no idea what will next be
attempted in the Hetley matter, but it
would seem that it is about time he was
given rest. He was nominated and
elected by handsome majorities and has
been sustained by every proceeding in
court so far, and it really begins to look
little more like persecution than pros
ecution which is being waged against
him. He proved during his four years
of service as superintendent that he
was the very best superintendent this
county has ever had and the voice of
the people at the polls shows their
appreciation of his labors, and we
believe he should be allowed to pursue
his labors in peace.

which have been disposed of by the

LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY SERVICE
Churches Unite in Honoring the
Brit hday Anniversary of the
Martyred President.

DR.. j. l.. Harris, Webster's genial
mayor, conceived the idea of observing
Lincoln's birthday anniversary in a fit
ting manner. Preparations were accord
ingly made for this service to be held
at the opera house Sunday evening,
Feb. 18th. A large audience gathered
to honor the occasion, practically all
the seats being occupied.
Mayor Harris presided. The ochestra
played appropriate Introductory music,
after which Rev. Crisp read Lincoln's
Gettysburg Speech" and this was fol-
lowed by Lincoln's Letter to Mrs.
Clancy" presented by Rev. Lewis.
Attorney H. H. Potter addressed the
assembly upon the topic "Lincoln as a
Lawyer" The speaker very earnestly
held the position that while Lincoln was
perhaps not the greatest jurist this
country has produced, yet he was far
above mediocrity. Lincoln was well
versed in common law; was good rea-
soner, and as a debater was among the
best. The speaker also held that Lin
coin was a thorough student of our
great constitution.
M. X. Crisp spoke of Lincoln as a
private .citizen, holding that the
martyred presidents reputation for
kindness, honesty and truthfulness was
clearly established by the facts.
Rev. Lewis very eloquently presented
the topic, Lincoln as Religious
Man" The speaker presumed from
what Lincoln wrote, said and did, that
the great war leader believed in Deity,
the Scriptures, prayer and future life.
He concluded by holding Honest Abe"
aloft as model for the youth of today.
Donald Mclean closed the program
of speeches by presenting carefully
prepared paper on Lincoln as States
man." after which the orchestra gave
closing selection, two verses of
America were sung and Rev Crisp pro-
nounced the benediction.
Thus was brought to close most
appropriate servicesin honor of that
great man, whose greatness constantly
looms larger with each passing year.
We trust that this anniversary may
become a fixture in this community.

Better Lights For waubay

On Tuesday evening was held the
regular monthly meeting of the Com
mercial Club, and the principal question
before the business men Of the town
was the matter VfS an elevtric light
plant
G. f. Boyle and G. f. Weller, of
Webster, had in January presented to
the village board proposition they had
for lighting the town, and the board
had promised to bring the matter up at
the next meeting of the Commercial
club. Accordingly the proposition was
presented Tuesday evening and Mr.
Weller was present to answer any ques-
tons regarding the matter. These gen.
tlemen want a twenty-year exclusive
franchise to operate an electric light
plant, and the proposition was discussed
quite thoroughly. Some opposition to
the granting of franchise was voiced,
but the majority were in favor of it..
Some of the members thought that the
village should operate its. own light
plant, but the greatest objection was
the eighteen-cent rate, which is higher
than in any other town or city.
At last the club by vote left the mat
ter to the village board. requesting
them to make the best deal for a light
ing system that they can get AS a
majority of the members present seemed
in favor of lighting system, it is pro-
bable taat the board will take action
toward that end. Waubay Clipper,
