NEW RADIUM CUR
TAIN AT GRAND

Messrs. Mitchell and Waterman
the proprietors OF the Grand Thea
ire are anxious to please their pa
irons and give them the best the
market affords. For this purpose,
they have purchased the best radium
curtain possible they could secure,
which arrived here Tuesday, from
St. Louis and will be put up in their
theatre. Th.s screen is the best
manufactured in this country. It
reduces their electric bill at least
one-half and adds to the clearness Of
picture, at least 100 per cent over
other curtains. If thsi proves true
as the manufacturers claim for it,
this will make a great improvement
in the already excellent service,
Messrs. Mitchell and Waterman are
giving at their play house now. Como
and see, what difference it makes in
having a first class curtain.

GRAND RAPIDS
BAND C0MPLlkiENTED

Many people who attended the
State Fair held at Milwaukee last
week praised the work Of the Grand
Rapids band These people We're
not alone residents of this city, but
people from all over the state and
people who are musicians and who
can appreciate music Many were
the compliments showered on the To-
cal bandsmen. Many expressions
were heard to the effect that the
Grand Rapids band was by far the
best of the state bands at the fair
outside of the professional bands from
Milwaukee. The band is a good thing
for the city. It's a good band and
the work it did at the State Fair
advertises the city. People who heal
a good band play ask where the band
is from and they get a very favora-
Bile impression of the city that can
send out a band as good as the
Grand Rapids band.

Gaulke ON Second street north was
broken into on Thursday night
The cash register was opened and
small change to the amount of be-
tween Sc and 81, taken. Entrance
was effected thru a rear window that
was not fastened. 1t has been the
custom at the store to leave a few
dollars In change in the cash regis
ter and to leave the register unlock
ed so that the clerks can have &C
cess to it in the morning before the
proprietor got down. 1t is evident
that the burglary was committed by
some person, or persons, who knew
of the custom of leaving the money
in the cash register. If the persons
who committed this burglary are ap-
pretended, they should receive the
extreme limit of the law. There are
too many of these things going on

ed and Let these young toughs and
