BIG WEEK AT REVIVAL
MEETINGS.

The Revival meetings in progress
at the Rink for the past three weeks
are attracting larger crowds this
week than at any prior time since
beginning.
1t has been a week of special fea-
lures for each evening which have
been successful in bringing crowds
and interesting the various classes
of people in the place.
Chester Birch, the evangelist, is a
worker in this line with long and
enviable record, having been more
than rs years actively engaged in
public work. His messages and ad-
dresses are in the simplest possible
form but never fail to get the atten-
ton of his hearers.
1t began Monday night with Fra
ternal Evening when the Masons,
Odd Fellows, and two lodges of Good
Templars marched in bodies to the
Rink. The Odd Fellows procession
followed by the Temperance socie-
ties was headed by the city band.
The building was completely filled
and principally with men.
Tuesday was Social Night when
the social organizations and clubs
were present in such numbers AZ to
nearly fill the center section of the
hall. Wednesday was Millworkers
Night and the men were again out
in large force. Thursday Railway,
and Friday Iron and Steel Nights.
Sunday is to follow in some par
ticulars; last Sundays program: A
Union Mass Meeting 1890 in the
Rink, and at three in the afternoon
three meetings at the same hour
men only in the Rink, addressed by
Mr.. Birch, on the theme "Neros Fid-
die and American Flame; a wom-
ans meeting in the M. E. church d.
rected by Miss Ritter, and children's
meeting in the Presbyterian church
addressed by Prof. Ralph Carr.
Mr.. Cars singing has attracted
great admiration and attention in the
weeks work.
The meetings continue next week.

BECAUSE THEY ARE
INTERESTED TAXPAYERS

The cards being handed out by the
Progressive League candidates for al
dermen bear the following:,
If the arguments of the Big Six
that they are for the city's best in
terests as against the Light and Wa
ter Company are true, why are the
Light and Water Company officials
so anxious to have them re-elected?"
1t is probably because the officials
OF the Light and Water Company are
interested taxpayers in the city of
Virginia, and recognize the fact that
Virginia has gone ahead at a rapid
pace during the past few years with
the result that today it is the best
kept city of northern Minnesota, and
is absolutely free of Indebtedness.
1t is probably because they .recog-
nize the fact that the members OF
the city council under recall have
been instrumental in giving Virginia
an administration of public affairs
which has placed her far ahead OF
any other range community, and be.
cause they know that with their re.
turn to the council the public i'm
provement worm of the city which
has been a dead issue as yet this
year will be revived and that the city
will again commence to forge ahead
as it properly should.
1t is probably because they, as
men, honor and respect men who diff.
fer in opinion from themselves; be-
cause they recognize that men may
have variant opinions and each be
honest In his conviction.
Surely it is not because of any.
thing the individual members of the
Big Six, acting in the capacity of al.
dermen In the past, have handed the
company, for. the record of each OF
the men under recall is clearly por-
trayed in the city records, showing
them as voting and working for the
requirement of the plant under the
vote given at the special election on
February FL, 1911.
This record is one of which any
honest man may be proud, and all
the men under recall ask is that each
voter reads and digests their record
as recently published and mailed to
all; that each voter passes, up the
dirty insinuations and filings of pref
udice from disgruntled office-seekers
and vote for their own and for the
best interests of the city. If all do
this, there can be no question of the
result of next Tuesdays contest, as
each of the Big Six will be returned
to his post of duty.

When you mention the words
''illusionists'' and "magicians" one
would say right on the handle, "Oh
that kind Of stuff is old; I have seen
1t before" But that Is not true OF
the work of Wassman and company
as they are certainly clever in this
work and they have a routine OF
material that is absolutely new, and
the way they put it over IL very
mystifying and at the same time very
amusing. The lady assistant in this
act is dressed in q handsome "Harem
skirt" that certainly makes a hit

afternoon was the miscellaneous
shower given this afternoon by Miss
Electa Henley, at her home in South
