"Rusk COUNTY FAIR"
TO BE PRESENTED HERE BY LO-
CAL TALENT DEC. AND
is A ONE-ACT MUSICAL COMEDY
The Catchiest Song Productions viii
Intersperse the Delightful
Comedy.

The Rusk County Fair is home
talent musical comedy to be given
Dec. and s. The following Is a
brief synopsis;
This one-act comedy was written by
Anna Sara Book, West Virginian,
/ who had made the drilling and pro-
ducing of home talent plays a special
ty-this play has been her biggest
and most successful. The plan and
plot is very simple-nothing but a
county fair scene with all manner of
people coming to enjoy the festivi-
| ties of the event. It will be a real
picture of the real old-time county
fair, with displays innumerable of
rich, yellow pumpkins, big potatoes,
immense squashes, recOrd-breaking
ears of yellow corn, red apples, and
maybe ST Jones, of Squedunk, will
| have some of those marvellous patch
quilts there Yet the real interest
| is centered in the dialogue of the
visitors at the fair and in the musical
numbers to be presented
AS the scene opens the takers, lem
onade man, side-show barker and the
balloon man will almost deafen you
with their yells. Then follows a
quick succession of farmers, old maid
school boys, Jockeys, preachers, bride
and groom, gold brick men, city Wis
itors, a coglomeration of all the char
acters one can possibly imagine at a
county fair, each with an appropriate
dialogue and conversation. All of
this collOquy is of the most humOr-
Gus nature and has life and spirit
to it that keeps the audience in con-
stant commissions.
County Fair is the Teddy Bear chorus
by large number of girls between
the ages of three and nine years. 1t
| is said to be one of the prettiest and
cutest ever There will be another
childrens chorus and six young men
and young ladies' choruses All of
these are the latest, catchiest song
productions and are presented in a
| beautiful, attractive manner
The best talent of the city will
participate and there can be no doubt
of the fair being a rousing success
as our talent, we believe, is rather
superior to that Of the average town.

LARGE AUDIENCE WELL ENTER.
TANNED.

The people of Ladysmith who were
fortunate enough to be in attendance
at the lecture in the opera house
Monday night received a great treat.
Prin. E. C. Gotham, with few very
appropriate remarks, introduced the
lecturer, DR.. Edwin w. Lanham, who
at once took up his subject, "The
Worlds battle-ground For an hour
and a half he held the close atten-
tion of the large audience with his
portrayal of truth after truth en-
braced in the laws of right living
and the unavoidable results that
come from wrong living. The lee
ture was favored with few witty
remarks and stories that go to make
up the entertainment one expects
when going to lecture.
Mr. Lanham is a natural orator,
speaking clearly though rapidly and
scarcely another sound was heard
during the whole address. He gave
short address at the highschool
building to the scholars and teachers
just before the closing hour Monday
afternoon. This was rare treat
for the teachers and students, as
many of them could not attend the
lecture in the evening. If every one
WI hn orrin
but one of the truths brought out
by him it seems as though there
would be a marked improvement in
the tone OF the community.
DR.. Lanham went from here to
Marshfield Monday night, where he
was billed for Tuesday evening.

FIRE DESTROYS KAMOSkE HOME
Fire Company PowerIess as Resi-
dence Was Beyond Water
Limit.

The residence of Peter Kamoske
was completely destroyed by fire at
about six o'clock last Friday night.
The fire company promptly respond
ed to the call but for lack of water
very little could be done but to assist
in removing what furniture could be
gotten from the lower floor. The
clothing, bedding and beds were all
burned, the most serious part of the
loss at this time of the year.
Mr.. Kamoske was insured with A.
N Andersen and carried $500 on the
building and 5000 on the furniture.
The fire evidently started from the
chimney, as when first discovered it
was burning in a small place in the
roof near the chimney Mr.. Ka-
moSke was away on a hunting trip.
While Mrs. Kamoske was wassist-
ing in carrying out the furniture she
dropped her hand bag containing $65
in bills from her arm which must have
been picked up by someone, as it
could not be found She also had her
coat on her arm and does not know
just when it dropped.
Mr.. Kamoske intends to rebuild in
the spring, it being rather late in the
season to start at this time

MUSICAL TREAT SAT. NIGHT
WaIdemar Won GeItch Concert Party
At Wordens Opera House.

Ladysmith music lovers can enjoy
rare treat Saturday evening at the
opera house. On that evening Wald-
mar Won Geltch, violinist of won
lerful ability, assisted by Miss Cecil
Webster, reader, and Miss Josephine
Hudson, pianist, will give a concert
)arty here. This entertainment is
me of the course arranged by the
Extension Division Of the University
If Wisconsin,
Seats are now on sale at Dimock' s
lrug store. Admission: % cents;
'eserved seats 35 cents
Waldemar Won Geltch is decen-
amily At the age of seven he had
lis first violin instruction At four
-5een his playing attracted the atten-
lion of that Great American >violinist,
MaXimilian Dick, who recognized the
Salent Of the boy and launched him
upon his artistic career
Mr.. Geltch graduated with highest
aonors from the Chicago Musical Col
lege, capturing the first prize diamond
medal for his excellent rendition of
Mendelssohn Concerto. Again the
lext year as postgraduate he was
awarded the first prise for his master
;ul playing of the Bruch d Minor
Concerto. Both Concertos he played
accompaniment Up to this time the
celebrated Bernhard Listemann had
been the master of the youthful viol
mist He then became a pupil of
Ovide Musin and Emile Sauret, the
greatest French violinist, and later
studied with Zajic in Berlin.
This enormous technical equipment
is but the lesser part of his art. His
true greatness lies in the grandeur
and nobility of his interpretations,
in the inexhaustible wealth of emo
ional depth, in the beauty and
tone, in pathos, the pOesy that Is
all his own and in the genuine ap-
peal that he makes to the heart be-
cause he plays with soul. A strik-
ing personality adds to his interest
and charm as an artist and makes
him most unique figure among viol-
inists.
