A disagreement about Advertising arose

Hamiine GIee Club Delighted Many.

The Hamline glee club appeared
before a large and friendly audience
at the M. E. church last night, and
scored highly as entertainers, as
they have in their previous appear
ances here. While all the numbers
were good, the choruses and violin
solos made strong appeals to the
musicalIy inclined, while others were
captivated by the reader, and the
fun-loying by the inimitable freak
comedian of the club. A normally
constituted person must be hard to
please if he does not find the Ham
line club entertainment we'll worth
while. Comparisons made between
the Hamline and State University
clubs were pretty generally at the
expense of the latter, as the u boys
were certainly in poor training when
they appeared here last winter.

High School Play Won Both
Applause and Cash Last
Friday Evening.

The annual high school play is al

fully up to the high mark in the
opinion of those who have expressed
themselves about it, so far as we
have heard.
The attendance was only limited
to the capacity of the opera house,
and included fair representation
from the surrounding towns which
have sent some Of their best pupils
here to finish their school course.
The Gazette will make no attempt
to mete out criticism to the different
members of the class who personated
the various characters. But it feels
that it should bear testimony to the
faithful work done by the teachers
who participated in the work of
staging the play, especially to Miss
LaDue, whose palnStaklng and cap
able training the success of the pre-
sentation of the play is in large
measure due.
The tickets for the Senior class
play were all sold within twenty
minutes of the time they were put
on sale. The class is extremely
thankful to the public for the way
they patronized the play, both after
noon and evening. The gross re-
ceipts were larger than any class
has had so far, $165.50. The ex-
penses were also large, owing to the
decorations used, and the hiring Of

burned off, but the high wind upset
his calculations and the flames broke
loose and did lot of damage, which

was burned. and declares that the

Gently secured action from the SUI
pervisors of Morgan township in the

good work. The county commits
sioners will undoubtedly be asked t.
take action along this line in the
near future. At the county auditors
office yesterday, we noticed circu-
lar from Commissioner Cooley of
the state highway commission, call
ing attention to the fact that there
is now $4,000 available locally under
the acts providing for state aid con-
ditioned on the highways being sur.
veyed and built under state super
vision. Under the old law, the state
was to pay one-third the cost, but
under the Bob Dunn enactment, this
is increased to one-half as the states
share, in addition to the cost of the
surveys. which the state pays, A
ruling from the attorney general is
expected which will determine
whether $500 of the $4,000 avail
able for this county will come unde,
the provisions of the new act. Red
wood county townships as well as
towns should see that this state aic
is secured.

Burglars q We're Fooled.

Rather good joke was circulated
last week, at the expense of a citizen
of the second ward. His wife had
been told that the w. R. Barnes
family were away from home, and
when she saw lights in the Barnes
residence at quite late hour, it
was borne upon the mind of the lady
that house-breakers had effected an
entrance and were despoiling her
neighbours household valuables. Of
course hubby had to be aroused to a
sense of his duty and go to the res
cue on short notice. On his way he
met another business man who had
been holding a night session at his
store. and induced him to join the
voluntary rescue party. The two
tried to get into the Barnes house
with night key Of some sort, when
the gentle accents of Bill Barnes,
asking who was there, chilled the
enthusiasm of the rescue party and
made explanations in order. 1t de-
veloped that the Barnes family did
not go away as expected. After
William had been assured Of the
good intentions of his neighbors, he
exercised ibis customary caution in
keeping mum about the incident, as
he always does when the joke is on
the other fellow.

MET DEATH in
FREIGHT CAR
Badly Burned Body of James
Doyle, Morton Resident,
Found in Car Fire.

We are indebted to the Morton
Enterprise editor for information
concerning fatal accident in that
town last Sunday night. Over the
phone, we understood that some
time that evening box car was dis
covered on fire and was partly con-
sumed before the fire was ex-
tinguishad. When the wreck came
to be overhauled, the badly burned
remains of man were found within
the car. the body being afterwards
identified as that Of James Doyle,
who lived in the vicinity of Morton.
The supposition is that the man went
into the car for a nights lodging.
We have not learned as to the coro-
ner's verdict. but for the benefit of
our Seaforth Item critic, will assume
that the unfortunate man was suf-
fering from sunstroke VIII n he
crawled into the car.
