From an old book of charms published
in Edinburgh in 1909 is obtained a very
odd Hal oween observance. This consists
of placing glass of water on table.

"MAN OF THE HOUR"
AT THE GRAND, SATURDAY

Theater-goers who have been read
ing so much for the past year of
"The Man of the Hour" will have an
opportunity of seeing this splendid
production at the Grand Opera House
on Saturday, January 2S, with a
special company of players and
complete scenic production.
In the New York Evening "Tele-
gram" of DECEMBER 5th, in the re-
view of "The Man of the Hour" the
writer says; mot since the days of
Senator has a play been presented
with such brilliant promise of sue
cess as THE Man OF the Hour" The
other New York newspapers in their
reviews were equally fulsome. The
Herald referred to the play as
Sensation" The World, as Star
light from the shoulder hit" The
Tribune says; "one of the most aus
picious successes of the year" The
Evening Journal was "howling sue
cess" The News says: at will last"
The Press "The Man of the Hour"
is likely to live for many years"
1t is a success, The Post: "The
Man of the Hour" fulflls an impor-
tant and honorable theatrical func-
ton. Gloriously triumphant in every
detail" In the Mail, Fred Ed. Nc
Kay referred to the production as
"one you had better go and see."
And in the Telegraph, Renold Wolf
says: Success loomed up like a big
capital "S". John Corbin, in his re-
view in The Sun said: 1.-The Man of
the Hour bids fair to be a very great
success" And Chas. Darnton, in
"The Evening World" remarks that
The Man of the Hour is direct and
vigorous" With such lavish praise,
it is little wonder that the Man of the
Hour" is playing to capacity business
in every city it has so far visited.

WANT CASE
RE-OPENED
IN SUIT OF DIR. E. p. ROGERS AND
OTHER PROPERTY OWNERS
AGAINST THE CITY, ATTOR.
NEYs WANT TO FILE AMENDED
COMPLAINT.

Attorneys Kaiser and Pogue today
filed with the clerk OF the circuit
court motion asking for the re-
opening of the case of DR.. E. F. Rog-
ers, and a large number of other
property owners against the city Of
Salem, and argument upon it is be-
ing heard by the Judge this afternoon.
This suit was instituted by the
property owners for the purpose of
having declared void an assessment
levied upon their property for the
construction of the North Salem sew
er. They contend that the ordinance
levying the assessment is not drawn
in conformity to law and that it is
void because the property will not be
directly benefited by the installation
Of the system. 1t is contended that
according to the charter that it must
be shown that the property will be
directly benefited by the sewer in
order to make the assessment legal.
The case was tried some time ago and
was takn under advisement by the
court. The attorney for the property
owners now desire to file an amend
ed complaint and to do so have made
motion asking for re-opening of the
case.
