FOR HER SAKE"
MONDAY NIGHT
When the Celebrated Earl Stock
Opens a Weeks Engagement
at City Opera-HOuse.

'For Her Sake" the Russian molo-
drama which is one OF the feature bills
Of The Earl Stock" Is likewise
the feature Of all plays dealing with
official Russian life and the penal sys-
tenn Of ofSiberia.
Founded largely upon fact, the story
hauing been adopted from the exper-
ience of Madam Laubukin, there is an
air Of truth about the play that is con-
vincing to the most blase theatre goer.
Love IS, Of course, the greatest theme
Of the plot and IL is the dominent note
Of tho drama.
A Russian noblewoman, repentant
Of her cruelty, adops the daughter Of a
Russian sert whom she had ordered
knouted 10 death. She frees the girl
and educated her to learn that the
beauty and learning Of her portege has
won the love Of her son.
The eternal question of caste arises
TO separate the two, but the boy, a
non-respector Of customs and persons,
defes his autocratic mother and at
tempts 10 marry the girl in spite OF her.
The latter 10 more effectually save
him from the match first tries TO sell
the girl 20 a life of shame and falling in
shhhf ouANAnuu IN abnAAAAE ANA an NAAAH
to Siberia. Undaunted, the son COM
mits military crime that will insure
his condemnation to Siberian mines
and succeeds in following her into the
inferno of crime and torture that
passes for penal system and succeeds
at last in attaining peace and happiness
for himself and the woman he loves.
From the rise Of the FIRST to the fall
of the last curtain there is not a mo-
ment that is dull nor a line that is ted
ious. Action swift and fascinating,
climaXes that thrill the heart, interest
that quickens the pulse and commands
the sympathy of the spectator are few
ofthe sterling qualities Of the play.
Special scenery, lavish costuming,
accurate and painstaking rehearsals
and a splendid company OF actors
make For Her Sake" one of the most
powerful and grippling melodramas
on the stage to-day.
This will be the Offering next week,
Fair Week. Aug. l4-l9.
Mrs Harriet Mayer Clark, and Mr..
Hubert Bretz, a Celina boy and girl
are playing prominent parts with the
Earle Stock. Seats on sale at The Ri
ley Drug Store. You can phone in and
have your seats held for you until 7
o'clock of the night of the performance.
For Her Sake" will be played Mon
day night.

DREDGING PETITION
TURNED TO WALL
New Tack Likely to BE Taken to
Force Action Upon the
Improvement.

At joint meeting of the commiss-
toner's of Mercer, Van Vert and Aug
laize counties held at the Van Vert
court house, on Thursday of last week 4,
the petition of j. w. Hoverman, Of
Salem township, Auglaize county,
asking for the dredging and cleaning
of the st. Marys river from a point in
Auglaize county, to the Indiana State
Line, was turned down. The expense
incurred by the joint boards in viewing
the proposed improvement and acting
upon the petition amounts to a few
cents over $3.50, which expense must
be born by the petitioners. Mr.. How
erman will now prepare petition for
the Auglaize county board, asking that
the improvement be made to the Mer-
Ger county line. If the river should
thus be cleaned out, it will almost
like measure on the part
of Mercer county residents along the
river

their way up stairs, catching a room
full of victims. The stunt was pulled
Off so neatly and quietly that nobody
was able to realize what was transpir-
ing until the officials had the house in
their hands. About twenty people
were in the room at the time of the raid.

A FAIR-SIZEO CROWD
GREETED AGRICUL-
TURAL SPECIAL

A fair-sized crowd of farmers and
a sprlnkling of town people with agri-
cultural leanings visited the agrioul-
tural special which arrived in this city
over the Cincinnati Northern last Sat
urday afternoon. A shower of rain,
just as the train arrived, kept good
many more from going to the depot.
Those awaiting the arrival of the train
boarded the cars and we're shown the
exhibits, while able instructors in each
ear enlightened their auditors in
most appreciative way. The VISIT Of
these specials tend greatly to stimulate
thought along new lines and should be
welcomed with greater showing OF
enthusiasm than has yet been exhibit
cd at Celina.

KNIGHTS SEEM TO HAVE
GOT LOST IN THE
SHUTTLE

The much. heralded encampment Of
the Seventh Regiment, Uniform Rank
knights of Pythias of Ohio, in camp
here this week a thousand strong,
dwindled very materially by actual
count. 1t seems they got lost some
how somewhere, and those who did
visit us were mortified at the action of
their brothers, who probably heard the
pond had gone dry and stumps and
mosquitoes were our only asset. We
hope those who did come, however,
have enjoyed themselves, and their re-
naming stay will prove to them we
have enjoyed their coming. We have
those who really wanted to come-the
others can come when they get good
and ready. The latch-string is always
on the outer wall and we have no
crouch.

PROF. J. F. LUMB
HIGHLY H0NORED
Becomes Principal of Great InstI-
tuition With which He Has
Long Been Connected.

Prof j. Il. Lumb, who is now at his
summer home near Neptune, was no.
tilted this week of his appointment as
principal of the Ohio State School for
the Blind at Columbus. Mr.. Lumb's
old home was near Neptune, and he
still retains the old homo farm there.
Prof. Lumb was educated at the in
stitution which he has just been made
principal, and has been a teacher there
for more than thirty-five years, so his
promotion comes as well-merited
recognition of long and faithful
service as an instructor.
Prof. Lumb and his faithful wife are
being showered with congratulations
from all quarters on his well-merited
advancement, and we would have him
know there is none more hearty than
those eminating from THE DEMOCRAT
office. Shake.

TOWN AND TOWNSHIP
CANDIDATES
LINE UP

The last of tho nominating petitious
for places on the September primary
ballots we're filed late last Saturday
night. The offices to be filled in this
and Jefferson township all have Dem
ocratlc seekers. On the other hand f,
most of the places on the Republican
ticket go begging.
Whether there be any independent
candidates for the offices remains to
be seen. The law permits the filing of
petitions of independent candidates
until October 8. These do not appear
on the primary ballots, but appear on
the ballots at the regular election in
November.
The names of candidates for the
offices to be filled in this city and
township, to be presented to the voters
of the two parties at the September 5
primary, are as follows:

Who can recall when CelIna did not
have q fair?
Presumably there was a time in the
dark ages of the Reservoir City's histo-
ry, but memory runneth not back to
that time OF barren existence.
For life would be barren in COM
munity that had no county fair to en-
liven and stimulate its people.
And Celina is one of the fortunate
towns that has a splendid fair and
whose people are proud to maintain
the fair. The county fair has always
been growing institution in Celina.
1t outgrew the beautiful grounds now
converted into Mercelina Park. 1t
outgrew the new location that was
provided for it, so that more ground
had to be purchased. 1t is still grow
ing so that more room yet may have to
be added. Three times the grand stand
has been enlarged. Whether it will
hold the immense crowds coming to
see the races at the 1911 Banner Fair
remains to be seen.
So all next week Celina will be filled
with hundreds of people. The fair
grounds, the best-shaded, best-water-
ed grounds in all Ohio, will be filled
with thousands of visitors and exhib-
itors and tidal wave of excitement
will overwhelm the community from
the opening to the last day of the fair.
The exhibition spaces will be filled,
the art hall, the cattle stalls, the race
program, all will be filled and the
multitude will be here to see and enjoy.
Special features, band concerts, mid
way attractions, the fairgrounds will
TEEN with life and interest and excite
ment from the opening day until the
ctose. The Agricultural Board and
Secretary Vining have worked like
Trojans for the 1911 Banner Fair, hence
1t goes without saying that success is
assured. 1t is predicted it will be the
biggest fair ever held, following in the
trend of the record breaking events
for which Mercer County is famous,
and set pace that it will be difficult
for other counties to follow.
