AMUSEMENT NOTES.
"Dear Old Billy" to Make Stop In Barre
Next Tuesday Night.

Patrons of the Barre opera house will
be glad to know that on Tuesday, March
70 A. G. Delamater will present Mr..
William Hawtrey and his notable COM
pany of London players in the three act
comedy, Dear Old Billy" This piece
comes here direct from Chicago, where
it has Just closed run of nearly four
months. The critics of that city have
been unanimous in praise of the comedy,
and the presenting company is spoken
OF as being one of the best organiza-
lions seen in Chicago in many years.
The central figure is that of William
Smith, played by Mr.. Hawtrey, genial,
kindly old gentleman, who, seeking to
escape the tongue of a naggng wife,
who has domineered over him for TWEEN
ty years has sought relief in legal
separation. He is to pay her seven
hundred and fifty pounds annually, and
she is not to annoy him or interfere
with him in any way, and not even
to make known their relationship. He
goes to the seashore for much need
ell rest; coincidently she goes to the
same resort, and, while keeping to the
letter of the agreement she also takes
advantage of the fact that there is
no stipulation to prevent her being where
he is and she manages to be very much
in evidence whenever her husband is
forced into an embarrassing situation.
which is quite frequently, owing to the
unsought attentions of over-solieitious
women, who insist upon showering fla
vors on Dear Old Billy"
The company appearing with Mr.. Haw-
trey comprises such we'll known play
els as f. II. Kelley, formerly with
Sir Henry irving George Stuart Chris
tie, formerly leading man with Bertha
Kaliseh; Bernard Fairfax, formerly with
John Drew's company; Harry Redding,

CAR SITUATION IN NEBRASKA.
Wet Weather Relieved Demand OH
Grain Equipment.

Lincoln, Neb.. Oct. 1.-Wet weather
is a help to the car situation in Ne
braska. 1t lessons the demand for
grain cars, because farmers are not
rushing their grain to the elevators.
The primary markets are not flooded
with grain when weather is disagree
able and the railroads are now more
nearly able to supply the demand than
a week ago.
The demand for coal cars from the
east is heavy and cars su1ta Ole for that
service are being rushed to the east.
The northern roads are demanding
cars for the grain and potato trade.
Just now the Burlington is delivering
about one hundred cars a day to the
Great Northern at Sioux City, and the
greater number of these cars is being
taken to the grain districts of the Da-
kotas- The demand for potatoA cars
from the Red river district of Mime
sofa is a pressing one, but the demand
cannot be supplied and reports are
that many thousands of bushels will
be lost because of inadequate trans
portation facilities.
