Dear Sir:-I received your card

as soon as I can spare the price I
send you a clipping from The
Dowagioc Daily Herald of December
9th, 1911. Ny wife was taken sick
about the first of October, last, and
for eleven weeks there seemed to be
no hope. Typhoid fever and other
complications.) Although she seemed
to think she could get we'll when she
called me and asked me if l thought
she was going to die. I had to tell
her, and within "a hours she was
gone. Oh how lonely-45 years we
had been married; I am past sixty

the latest of them to positions of

desires and to keep the passions
within due bounds is supposed to be
the work of the man of no aspira-

The case is plainly made out
against you Mr.. Watson, that the
party with which you are affiliating
stands guilty of the very charges you
lay against the Socialists.
AS a Socialist, I say let this battle
be fought out with the sword of

interested parties may be allowed a
vote.
Yours for truth and right,

Hugo B. Koch, in Clyde Fitch's
masterpiece, 1.-THE City" comes
to the Wahpeton opera house on
Tuesday, October 20.
The attraction is under the di-
rection of the United Play com-
pany. Years ago, before his
death, it was said of Clyde Fitch
that he could not write a mans
play. 1.-THE City" is his answer.
With. a list of fifty odd plays and
adaptions to his credit, this truly
genuine American playwright
turned a new page when he PEN
ned the stirring, blood-and-bone
story Of the little family of Mid
dleburg, N. Y, which, upon the
death of the venerable head, had
yielded to the call of the city.
Had 1.-The City, been produced q
century ago, it would now be re-
garded as one of the classics Of
the stage. But it is more gener-
ally offered as a modern drama.
So frequently are the New York
critics quoted that the frequent
repetition must raise the ques-
ton of doubt as to the authenti-
city Of the quoted experts. In
the case of 1.-THE City" it is only
necessary to refer to new ac-
counts Of the demonstrations
which followed the fall of the cur
tain upon the second act when the
play was first produced at the
Lyric theatre in New York. Not
for eighteen years had New York
witnessed such an ovation. The
whole audience rose with one &C
cord to cheer the masterful con-
ception of the dead author and
the wonderful acting of the COM
pany. It seems but simple JUS
tice to the late Clyde Fitch to re-
cord these facts.
The story is simple. The chief
actors in this human drama are
George Rand, a banker Of Middles
burgh, N. Y, they being father,
mother and three children, Geor-
ge, Teresa, and Cicely. The bank
er is the father of an illegetimate
child, George Hammock, who know
ing that he has something on the
financier, bleeds him upon var
ious occasions. The first scene
shows the library of the Rand
family in Middleburg, the act cul-
minating in the discovery Of the
son, George Rand, Jr., that Han
mock is the illegitimate child OF
his father. The revelation kills
the father. The MURAL son there

upon decides 70 remove to New
York, thus listening to the call
Of the city. Believing that it is
for the best interests Of his faith
er's memory, he engages Hammock
as his private secretary. The
second act shows the family en-
sconed in a beautiful home on
Fifth avenue. Rand having en-
tered politics, he is on the eve Of
being nominated for governor

cry which proves even more dra-
matte than that Of the previous
act. Hannock-crook, dope-fiend

when taken to task by his en-
ployer he confesses that they are

It was the desire Of Mr.. Fitch
that the finish of his story should
never be known, that is, in ad-
vance of the performance, and the
same wish has actuated the Uni
ted Play company in Withholding
the finale in the second act. SUI
fee to say that the climax is one
of the strongest ever given a play.
The story has been staged with
all those little attentions to detail
which characterize the Fitch pro-
auctions and all United Play COM
pany attractions.

1.-THE Shepherd Of the Hills"
the dramatization Of Harold Bell
Wright's novel, which holds the
record for the largest sales Of
any American work of fiction,
which has been made by Mr..
Wright, with the assistance Of
Fishery w. Reynolds, will be seen
at the Wahpeton opera house on
Friday, October 10.
The scenes Of the play are laid
among the Ozark mountains Of
Missouri. It is a story Of the
hills and the simple life, yet it
has plenty of excitement and an
air of mystery that will hold the
auditor from beginning to end.
The story has to do with the
father of an artist, who, tired Of
city life, goes into the Ozarks for
piece and quietude. He learns Of
q grevious sin committed by his
son, whom he mourns as dead.
The son has visited the hills a
few years before, when he fell
in love with a simple country
girl. He painted her picture
when he went back to the city,
deserving the girl, he earned fame
because of the canvas. The girl,
deserted and broken hearted, dies
