tumbled all the way to the sidewalk
without sustaining any injuries.
Friedle's marvellous presence of

him make lightning reach for a
rope few feet away from him. He
could not reach it, but by the time
he passed the eighteenth story. the
rope was blown directly in front Of
him. He soon caught hold. but
could not stop his downward fight.
At the sixteenth story he struck .
large knot on the rope. which broke
his hold. He whirled sroun1 sew

at the fifth floor. Ten feet from the
ground the rope came to an end and
Friedle dropped to the ground.
Picking himself up. he complained
Of being dizzy, but said he was ready

Week.
NOVELTY OF THE SEASON.
ROStand'S Play In Which The
Characters ImperSOnate
Fowls and Birds.

Rostand's play, "Chantecler" will
be presented by Charles Frohman.
with Maude Adams in the title role
at Macauley's the first three nights
of this week. with a Wednes-
day matinee. The same massive and
picturesque production that ran for
the greater portion of last season in
New York will be given in Louis
vile.
"Chantecler" is looked upon as
the greatest novelty that the stage
has had in many years. twas await
ed in France with keen suspense,
and of its richness in literary quality
there is no question. In the drama
Miss Adams shows the abilities of a
true artistic. While the play has
scored tremendous success so has
its principal player who is the most
beloved of all of the players on the
American stage.
With its flowing English and
charming verisifcation. "Chante-
cler" carries a lesson and it is this:
: Everyone Of US must do unto death
the work that God has given US to
do; however often it is crushed. we
must keep alive our faith in the day 3
task"
"Chantecler" opens in the BARN
yard, showing its birds. fowls land
domestic animals. The lordly cock
enters to dominate his progeny of
hens and chicks. Chantecler is the
egotist. He believes that with his
clarion call he commandssthessun to
rise each morning and dispel the
darkness of the night. A hen pleas
ant escaping from hunter takes re-
fuse in the yard. She typifies mod
ern woman. She falls In love with
Chantecler, and is jealous of his
faith and belief in his mission.
The lordly Cock has his enemies in
the Owls and the Toads. They plot
to destroy him at the Guinea Hens
reception. The White Pyle with the
razor spurs picks a quarrel with
Chantecler. and in a moment the
fight is on. All the Cocks friends,
all save Patou. the watch dog. have
deserted him. 1t looks al if he must
go down to defeat. Suddenly there
looms the ominous shadow of the
dread hawk, and the frightened hens
and chicks scurry to the Cock, their
natural protector. Chantecler saves
them and filled with fresh courage
he renews the fight which ends in
his victory.
Seeing the falsity of his friends,
Chantecler listens to the Hen Pheas-
ants pleas that he go out into the
larger world from which she came.
in the forest comes more disillusion-
| ment. He sees Nightingale shot
by a hunter. and another songster
Immediately takes his place. He be-
gins to question his own omnipot-
ence. The Hen Pheasant in consol-
ing him. takes his head under her
wing. and when next he opens his
eyes the sun has risen without his
having sung once. But he is not
discouraged. He declined to forsake
the Hen Pheasant and return to his
farm. He feels that if he cannot
command the sun to rise he at least
can perform the humber mission Of
notifying the sleeping people in the
valley that it has risen.
The humor or the play is delight
full and is excellently carried out by
the little chicks. the waddliDg ducks
and cackling geese.

Several cases of scarlet fever
developed in town the first of this
week. To J. O. Lees family his
wife and two daughters Miss Cath
crime Baird, and the daughter
of J. N. Alter, living a mile north
west of town have it. So far as de-
fnitely known these are the only
cases, but there are two or three
other cases of sickness which the
physicians are watching but which
have not yet developed far enough
SO that they can definitely say
whether it is scarlet fever or only
tonsilitis. All suspicious cases are
promptly q%uarantined and every
effort is being made to prevent the
spread of the disease. A trained
nurse arrived from Sioux City
Tuesday evening and is in charge
of the sick ones ip the Lee family.
AS the cases originated in the
schools it was thought best By the
board of health to close them on
Tuesday and the rooms this week
will be thoroughly disiufected, If
no further cases develop the school
will open again Monday. There
have been several cases of sickness
during the part few weeks which
may have been scarlet fever in a
light form, but as no physician
was called the exact nature Of the
disease is not known. We are in
formed that the schools at Trip
have been closed on account Of
scarlet fever, and at Yankton the
schools were closed some two weeks
ago.
