"CaIamity" the Riuht Word.

New York Commercials; "A genuine
calamity" Is the expression which
was attributed to the colonel only a
few months ago, in speaking to a
friend regarding what was then CON
sidered only a remote possibility. 1t
is impossible at this time not to re-
call and repeat this expression 1t is
indeed genuine calamity" and it
would be even a great calamity if the
voters OF the country elected Theo-
dore Roosevelt to be the next presi-
dent Of the United States, situation
far from likely.

Stanton Needs a New Courthouse.

Stanton, Neb., March Especial to
The News; a determined effort is
being made by the citizens and tax
payers of this county to build an up
to-date courthouse this year. The
county commissioners have secured
the plans and specifications Of $780,

was built in Clay county, S. d.
Petitions asking the county commits
sioners to call a special election for
the purpose of voting bonds for the
erection of the new courthouse are
being circulated and almost without
exception the voters are signing the
petition. A canvass of the leading
farmers shows that they are all in ia
Vor of the new building. The present
courthouse was built about twenty.
five years ago and is not in good con-
dition and has no fireproof vault 1t
has become absolutely necessary that
the commissioners provide place for
keeping the county records. District
Judge Graves has twice called the
commissioners attention to the neces'
sity of having a safe place to keep
the court records
The proposed plans call for a mod
ern up-to-date building two stories
high with basement.

WEBER AND FIELDS
 HERE TOMORROW FOR
 ONE PERFORMAhCE ONLY

It ia estimated that the Weber and Fields Jubilee company which comes to the Park theatre for one night only "wednesday May 15. will cost nearly s1S. f0, a week to operate during it's whirlwind tour of five weeks. The salaries of such artists as Lillian Rus- sell, Fay Templeton, William Collier. 0eorge Beban, Bessie Clayton and of Weber and Fields themselves consti- ute the largest individual items of ex- pense. Of course, but there are other items of almost equal financial im- portance as, for instance. the cost Of sleepinx car and private car accom- modations which are furnished each member of the company and the tre- mendous sums devoted to special ad- vertising. None of the previous Web CT and Fields companies cost 50 much on tour because seven or eight years ago salaries had not reached the high mark to which they have now attain ed.
 Weber and Fields contribute no less than four of their famous old bits of comic by-play. These include the sschoking scene" the indescribably fun ny prelude to their attempt to throw d bluff' at a fashionable bar with on- Iy a nickle between them. the absurd hypnotism scene and the famous poker game. Also they participate in sew eral entirely new scenes which have been written for them. Other famous features of the old Weberfields enter tainments are also incorporated in the jubilee including Lillian RusselPs sing ing of My Dvening Star" Fay Tenn pleton's rendering of Rosie" and Will liam Golfers delicious satire on mod ern melodrama.

 The choir made its first appsarance ottside of Q lodge room in Waterbury less than a year ago. A short time ago the choir was heard In this city at the 160th anniversary of St. John s lodge, F. G 4. M. The Masonic Choir and the accompAnist is George E. Boyd. former director of the Water bury Oratofio Society. The Water bury American in speaking of the first public concert Of the choir said: 'sIn the firBt number of the program MT. Clark and his men convinced the audience that Waterbury has mems are 70 men in the choir and the tenor and bass sections are excellently bal anced. The conductor has an organ nation which ls of excellent quality and absolutely under h1s control. The work of last evening showed the un- tiring 4fferts of both the conductor and the singerA The result was the SAAOA - o0AA8 - 0AAAt 04A0 RAO00NCta tones of . beautiful organ like quality
 "The two most pretentious efforts of the choir were Sir Edgar Elgar's sReveille' and William c. Hammond's q Young L0chinvar. in which the eolo- ist, William Flint assisted the choir. The first named number was an ex- tremely difficult composition in which the choir preserved the martial senti- ment while bringing out the most minute expression of the text, the opening effect of am advancing host was especially effective. Perhaps the most enjoyable number to the entire audience was the Lochinvar.' The setting of the old ballad is in attrac- tive melodtc style and the narration of the story is left to the chorus in a swinging melody. The clear and uni- fled dictton of the choir was especial iy noticeable in this numb Der. With out the words furnished by the pro- gram or familiarity with this old bal lad there was not a word which the audience could lose, 90 clearly did the singers bring out every word"
 Two numbers which were second on the program showed the choir at its best. These were Cyril Kyslter's a Thou Lovely Child" and Neidiinger's setting of 70 Mother Mine"
 Bridgeport will undoubtedly give this wonderful singing organization, which comes here under the auspices of the O. E, s. a hearty welcome.

DRAMA PLAYERS
 SCORE HEAVILY
 IN PlNER0 PLAY
SEVERAL INDIVIDUAL SUCCESSES MARK FIRST PERFORMANCE
 OF AMATEUR THEsPIANS.
Park Theatre Contained Good Sized Fashionable and E,nthusiassac
 Audience.

Greeted by a large and enthusiastic audience, the first public performance of the recently organized Alumni Drama Club of the Bridgeport High School graduates at the Park theatre, last night, promises for the organiza- tion prosperous career. The play was Arthur Wing Pinero's delightful romance of stage life Of the early six- ties. sTrelawney Of the Wells
 Many a performances of stock conn panies seen in this city have fallen short of the mark set by the amateurs in their splendid presentation of the Pinero play. Several players whose friends little suspected their histrfonic talent were firmly Installed In the dramatic world. and under the skill ful tutelage of Miss Grace Dalrymple Clark, what amounted to practically the first public appearance of sev- era1 of the players took place under highly favorable auspices.
 .@Trelawney of the Wells'' is rich in izations. The rare old man. vice Chancellor Sir William Gower. Kt.", with veneer of imperious dignity granting but momentary glimpses of the tenderly human person beneath, touchy, high tempered. yet kindly withal. was petsonified by Leo c. Me- Mroy. He displayed wealth of his trfonic ability, easily Justified his claim to the sock and buskin. and be- fore the performance was well advanc- ed, had become so firmly installed as a favorite that applause greeted his every entrance.
 Edna Williams, in the role of Tre- lawney, revealed pretty and ingen- ous type of considerable versatility and much charm. Annie Eaies im- parted fetching humor with a capital fmpersonation of Trafalgar, a char acter whose many possibilities were capitalized to their full value through the competent efforts of the clever player. Miss Ethel Marguerite Pol lands charming stage presence en- hanced her efforts in the role of .'Avonia Bunn." The roles were ably handled throughout, the performance reflecting credit alike upon the play CTS and tutor.
 Miss Julia Farnam gave capital impersonation of Imogen Parrott, one of the theatrical folk'' She and Earl Fenelons whose Tom Wrench was exceedingly well done, were entrusted with important characterixations and each fulfilled the expectations of their friends. MT. Fenelon has a very fine stage presence. Miss Farnam's enun- citation was especially good and her work throughout was of a high order In this scene Charles Henry Rohrback, lJr., broke in upon the audience like dew from a celestial abode and in the character of s'ODwyer''. an exagger- Iated type though not so from the lPinero viewpoint, he scored instantan- seous1y. His work was essentially original and did much to save the
