K|RMESS WILL-bE
 REPEATED TUESDAY AT POPULAR PRICES

So successful was the Kirmess, and so great was the demand for seats at the last performance that 1t has been decided to give two more perform |anees tomorrow, matinee and night, at pouular prices at the Jefferson theatre. These performances will be for the same two charities originally interested in the Kirmess. the Society for the Pre- vention of Infant Mortality, and st. Mary's Free Kindergarten, and 1t is hoped that the repetition will pay all the expenses of the original produc- ton. in which case the ladies will have neat sum to turn into the treasury of each organization.
 The prices for the matinee will be 75 cents in the orchestra, 90 cents in the balcony and 25 cents in the gallery, and TOT the night S1 and 75 cents in the orchestra, 75 cents and DO cents in tho balcony, and 25 cents in the gallery.
 There will be a rehearsal at the Hill man hotel tonight at o'clock, and all of the original cast is requested to be on hand that they may once more go through the dances in order 10 wear off the edges before the matinee on Tues day On account of the school hours tho matinee will begin at 3.30 instead of the usual hour, and the night per formance at S:30.
 At the last performance of the Kir- mess the Spanish dance won the vote for popularity in a close and exciting race over the Roumanians. owing to the fact that the contest has already been won there will not be another one tomorrow. But all of the original cast" will be there and will take their original roles with their original grace and 1t is predicted that a great many of the original patrons will be out in full force to see the whole Kirmess done all over again from start to fln- ish.

"THE BARRIER"
s.~~~e..e.e~eec'


A well filled house greeted "The
Barrier" at the oregon theater last
night and enjoyed Rex Beach's stir
ring play from start 10 finish. The
play was the first given at the Ore
gon since that playhouse came under
the exclusive management of Wesley
Matlock and upon the new manage
ment blessings are in order because
of warm theater and an orchestra.
Though it was a cold night the play
house was thoroughly warmed and
those who came with extra wraps and
sweaters fearing a repetition of for
mer cold spells found their trouble
in vain. The United Orchestra prov
ed a decided addition and served
greatly to promote the pleasure of the
occasion. The orchestra should be
continued as permanent feature at
the theater.
AS to THE Barrier" ii is a blood
stirring play and has much of merit
to 1t. 1t is strenuous and perhaps
two strenuous throughout to be a
first class entertainment. The plot
would be better for little more sun
shine and for another character like
No Creek Lee, who provides what hui
NOR there is
Nevertheless "The Barrier Is fine

last evening is well balanced aggre.

CLOCK DOES EARLY CHORES.
Lights Lamp, Starts Fire and Whistles
Inventor Out of Bed.

Leavenworth, Textile cold win
ter mornings hold no terrors for Will
liam Brownhill, 76 years old, formerly
an engineer of the Kansas Central
Gauge railroad, who has lived here
nearly fifteen years Some years ago
he connected a wire from his alarm
clock to his lamp so when the alarm
started match would be lighter that
would ignite the lamp wick.
When this had been done Brown
hill decided that if he could light his
lamp he could start his fire as easily.
So he placed another attachment on
the clock that pulled a wire that
scratched a match that lighter shaw
ings in the stove.
Sometimes the alarm clock would
not wake Brownhill up, and when he
would get up the fire would be out.
So last week he soldered a cheap
whistle on the muzzle of his tea ket-
tie. Now, when the fire gets hot
enough to cause steam, the whistle
commences to blow.
