never been equaled The list of the
drama was taken from the scene of the
Civil war, and devoted time to war,
love and fun. We make mention of
the ever interesting negro parts, I'M
der the role of "Susannah" and Uncle
Mosley, taken by Miss c. Schwenne-
ker and G. Oliver, respectively. In
this line it would be well to say a
word for the brilliantly rendered tab
leau, in which the live wire reporter
and Molly Martin starred This part
not only demonstrated the ability of
the actors, but carried the entire house
into an uproar of applause and laugh
ter. Miss Kempster deserves unre-
served credit for the way in which she
carried the part of leading lady. Ed
Mercer, in his difficult military and
lovers role, brought back the spirit
of the true blue and demonstrated the
manly true blue love in grand style.
Major Bradley, l.. Oliver, carried his
part for all there was in it, and he
gave a treat in the form of a musical
specially between the second and third
acts.
Mr. and Mrs Dusenberry afforded
amusement at times, and their adapta-
bility to the parts made them all the
more interesting. The latter mention

democrats OF sterling worth and fit
ness as Hon. E. W. Hurst of Rock Isl
and, Hon. Samuel Alschuler of Chi
cago, Hon. f. P. Dunn Of Chicago, Hon.
George W. Fithron of Sullivan and
others have been discussed and urged
by their friends, none of these has as
yet made formal announcement in his

doubtless be in the race for the nom-
ination when the time comes.

Mr.. Caldwells announcement is ss
follows:

have anything whatever to do with the
organization of either branch of the

Il will insist on all members of all
state boards giving ample time and
personal attention to the institutions,
and things committed to their care
and the failure OF any board or any
member of any board to give honest

There was man living in Cable,
Who said he was perfectly able,
Although he sometimes wore jeans,
To take care of a wife

But she must know how to cook beans
So he took to the paper an ad,
And he told of nestegg he had,
And he said he was out of his teens"
Such an ad in the paper should bring
Results that would cause him to sing,
This man who was partial to beans.
know we all wish him long life,
May he get the right kind of a wife.
Not one who will squander his means.
know he'll be wealthy some day,
He will have no big bills to pay,
If his fare is all simple as beans.
