SARAH BERNHARDT Jefferson In "Camiile" Thursday Night

now in America, will.' says Edmond Ros- stand, form the greatest marvel of the nineteenth century. It will develop into legend. To describe her tours around the world with their ever changing scenes and actors, their beauties and absurdities, to make the locomotives and steamers speak, to portray the swelling of the seas and the rustling of robes, to fill up the intervals of heroic recitative with speak ing, singing, shouting choruses of poets, savages, kings, and wild animals; this would mean a new Homer built up of Theophile Gautier, Jules Berme and Rud- yard Kiplng.''
 Bringing with it all the charm of the sawdust and tanbark enveloped in the phantasmagoric atmosphere of the tent show, Polly of the Circus,' Fred eric Thompson's highly successful pro- duction of Margaret Mayo's comedy drama, comes to the Jefferson theatre a an early date. Polly of the Circus" Is a play that promise to continue ap- pealing to all classes of theatregoers for years to come. In the first place, its story has the merit of novelty, also that it is clean and wholesome and filled with the right sort of sentiment Its lines are bright its pathos real and it's comedy genuine and the mix ture of the last two elements is in just about the righs proportion. Polly, the charming little bareback rider whose romance furnishes the central thread of the story, is an altogether fetching little creature who has taken her place among the most attractive stage crea- tions of the last few years. Tn the capable hands of little Miss Ida St. Leon, she becomes a child-woman whom no one can help loving.
 Miss St. Leon is assisted by a great many members of the original com pany. The reproduction is made with all of the color. accessories and incl dentals of sawdust ring perform ance.
 Three Twins" will come to the Jeff ferson theatre before the close of the season. This is the best musical com edy that has been produced in years. It has a good plot and many novel features. The music is fascinating and two- thirds of the audience on leaving the theatre are humming and whistling some of the numerous melodies which so greatly please them.
 Three Twins" is called the Ben Hur" of musical comedy, because it is the largest musical attraction in Amer ica. The Amazon Electrical Aerial Swing is the largest scenic effect ever staged with the exception of the char
 tot race in Ben Hur." The faceograph is another one of the many electric effects that helps to make "Three Twins" the smartest of all musical attractions.
 The costumes are gorgeous and in- clude eight of the handsomest Par sion directoire gowns ever brought to America.

VISITS FAIR,
]. r. Gilbreath is Boosting for Man.
dan Fair.

]. r. Gilbreath of Mandan, N. D..
who is spending the summer with his
family at Detroit Lake, came up yes
terday to take in the state fair and
also to interest horsemen in the Mis-
souri, slope fair to be held at Mandan
September 12, 13, IA and Is.
Mr.. Gilbreath is superintendent OF
the speed department of the slope
fair and expects that good race meet
will be had this year owing to the
increased purses offered. The Indian
sports which always make the Man
dan fair so popular will also be in
creased and he says it is the ambition
of the management this year to out
shine all previous efforts and since
securing a state appropriation this is
made possible.

ALWAYS DISAPPOINTING.

One who follows the booze brigade
long enough, will learn that it leads
to nothing worth while; if he follow
it longer, he will land there, too; his
efforts to come back will not avail
Those who start that gait usually
start joyously in the exuberance of
youth, and on the morning after feel
like old age and worse: The good
time it is expected to make better it
spoils by after effect and the FOOLS
touch on the present.
But few there are who play the
game from another angle. The stings
and arrows of hard luck casts them
down; adversity and disjointed love
affairs make life gall and wormwood
and powered quinine without the
capsule. OF such it is sometimes said

IS GREATEST OF MUSEUMS
The Maurice Rucker and Company
Geological Exhibit at the Fair
Is Well Worth While

There are few attractions at the
state fair more deserving of atten-
tion than is the Maurice Rucker and
company geological congress and mu-
scum of wonders. There are $40 rare
and valuable geological specimens,
and the central feature of interest
is the largest snake in captivity. 1t
is thirty-one feet long and has q
weight of over $50 pounds. There
are so many interesting exhibits to
be found. There are the only orang
outangs in captivity the horner Cas-
sowary, from the Isle of Cream half
bird and half animal, and there are
hundred and one other exhibits that
will be viewed with exceptional inter-
est by all attending.
This great exhibit was only brought

in sympathy: "You can't blame him
for drinking" And yet, if possible,
he is the greater fool of the two. OF
all men. he needs his best self If he
is to get over it; his fullest strength
and such joy in life as health brings.
Trouble cannot be drowned in a
demijohn, but man in training may
often whit 1t in open combat.
Trouble which drives to drink ID
much rarer than drink which drives
to trouble, but when one whose bur-
den is heavy is driven toward the cup
that cheers, do not expect it to cheer
MIN. Liquor exaggerates: 1t makes
the coward more craven; the bold
more daring; the happy, more jubi-
liant. These effects until the stimu-
liant wears off, when it makes of all
gree. So the man with blues or real
trouble drinks but to deepen the
shade, or add to his misery.
A young man who had tried 1t, and
failed, passed on by his own hand in
Kansas City the other day. He ex-
planned that he never could get along.
and he took to drink Poor fool, to
imagine that would help his advance
ment, save his money, or make fail
ure less bitter. 1t didn't, and it never
does. So he rang the curtain down
when his act began; at that youthful
age when life should be most worth
living.
Which proves nothing more than
is already known; that it is game
with stacked cards that can be beat
en- only by leaving it alone.

Marion, N. d., July B.
Dead Bill:
Since writing this have decid-
ed that l need you right away
and IL you can get here and feel
able to do the work, would like
you to come. Get here next Mon
day.
This postscript to letter found on
the person Of John Kmball, found
murdered in Billings, Mont, led to
his Identification, according to L. A.
Edwards, foreman of the stock de-
partment Of the Johnstone Stock and
farming company, and who is attend
ing the state fair in charge of the ex-
hibits made by that company.
The postscript that brought about
the identification was written to a
letter addressed to Will Robson, an
employe Of the Johnstone company,
by one of the superintendents of the
Johnstone farm at Marion, N. D., and
by him given to Kimball as a means
Of gaining employment with the COM
pany.
Kimball and Robson, it appears,
had met several days ago on train
between Big Timber, Mont. and Bill
lings, Mont, and had become engaged
In conversation. In that CONVERSE
ton Kimball, cripple, hal told Rob-
son that he was a dairy man, and
there was some talk of employment
Kmball could neither read nor write,
so Robson gave, him the letter head.
During the conversation Kimball
had shown Robson about $50 in
checks, and since the Billings au-
thorities have communicated with L.
A. Edwards, now in this city, they
have discovered that one of these
checks was .cashed., Kimball had
some money and robbery probably
was the motive of the murder.
