1t is not generally known, but
Augusta J. Evans wrote her book,
popular and successful play, around
scenes which she had actually visited
and modelled her characters after
people she knew in those localities.
While visiting these scenes, Mrs. Ev-
ans studied the people and their man
nerisms, with the result that she
wrote one of the greatest dramas Of
American life of her time. The play

AT THE ILLINOIS.

However tickle the theatregoing
people of America may be to nine
tenths of the ephemeral productions
that pass across the stage, they are
notably faithful to their fayorites.
The universal demand. for another
season of THE Chocolate Soldier,
the exquisite Viennese opera by Os-
car Strauss, founded on that bril-
liant compound Of romance, comedy
and satire by George Bernard Shaw,
Arms and the Man." has compelled
Mr.. Whitney to assemble again the
Whitney Opera company and send
THE Chocolate Soldier" out across
the country on its third season of
setting millions laughing with its
spirited comedy and intoxicating
them with the varied beauties of it's
melodies. The opera viii be pre-

sented at the Illinois tonight. The
temptations offered by the scenes Of
the play, which are laid in the noun
tain defiles of Bulgaria, have spurred
Mr.. Whitney to extraordinary efforts
in investing the piece with realistic
efforts in the matter of scenery. The
strange peasant and military cos
tunes were made especially for the
production by Bulgarian handicrafts-
men and much of the furniture used
in the interiors was purchased from
actual households in Bulgaria by
Mr.. Whitney, who spent many weeks
in that land during the past three
years, studying the manners and
costumes of the people. The pro-
duction of 1.-THE Chocolate Soldier"
which he is offering this year is
marked by an even greater degree
of elegance and vividness than here
is said to be eminently fitted to cope
with the difficulties of both score and
libretto. Mr.. Whitney's cardinal
principle in selecting his companies
is that every role, from the mana
gers point of view, is leading role
and requires all the care that is gen.
orally given to filling the star" part

A RECORD CROP
IN UNITED STATES
L. S. Department of Agriculture Es-
Inmates Record Crop Under
Present Conditions.

Washington, Aug.10.-This' years
grain crop in the United States will
be far in excess of last years yield,
it was estimated yesterday by the
department of agriculture. 1t will
be better than the average crop for
the last ten years, and in the case
of number of products, will make
a new record, if present estimates
are not overthrown by conditions at
present unforeseen.
The country's corn production es-
timated at 100000 bushels,
will be the largest in the nations
history, with the exception of the
years 1906 and 1910, the former be-
ing the banner year with 2,927,-
100000 bushels.
AS for the wheat crop, estimated
at 6SO,00O,O0O bushels, that will
rank fifth in size during the last
twenty years.
The oats crop will be the largest
the country has gathered, surprising
by 21,O00,O0O bushels that of 1910,
the previous record, the estimated
yield of 202,OO0,OO0 bushels being
24,OOO,OOO bushels greater than
that of 1906, the previous best year.
The yield of rye, 35,00O,000 bush
els, will equal that of 1910, the for
mer record year.
OF potatoes, which will amount
this year to 371,OOO,0OO bushels,
only 1909 with it's 3S9,OOO,OOO pro-
duced larger yield.
North Dakota's Crop.
That the 1912 wheat crop in
North Dakota will surpass the 100,-
100000 mark is the statement of
Twin City crop experts who have in
vestigated the situation. This is
in 1911, and three times as much as
was produced, in 1910.
The total wheat crop in the Da-
kotas and Minnesota is estimated
at 265, 100000 100 per cent more
than last years crop. This means
that approximately $130,000,O
more will be floating around the
northwest from one crop alone.
There is a corresponding increase
in several other crops.
Regarding the situation the North
western Miller says:
Should this estimate prove cor
rect, the northwest will have made
the largest wheat harvest ever re-
corded. In 1895, 1O8,OOO,O0O bush
els broke the record. This was ex-
ceeded in 1908 by harvest of 22O,-
100000, and until now the record
has been held by the crop of 1909,
which was 233,OOO,OOO bushels, IS
per cent smaller than that estimated
for this year. When compared with
last years crop, 100000 bushels,
it shows an increase of 100 per cent.

A Fight Worth Making.

Oyster Bay, Aug 10.-s'''Win or
lose, it's a fight worth making" :"
said Roosevelt today. Whatever
the outcome of the campaign that
is now opening, he asserted that a
new era in American political his
tory will be dated from the Progress
sive convention held in Chicago this
week.
For more than forty years, the
ex-president said, sporadic reform
movements have come into exis-
tence, many of them in the west.
He cited Bryan's campaign Of 1896
and the Populist movement as ex-
amples. Most of them he contin-
ued had contained something good,
but were coupled with quack reme-
dies worse than the disease they
were supposed to cure. The good
points of them all he said had been
gathered together in the Progress
sive party's policies and for the first
time there will be given to the coun-
try these ideas without the accom-
paniment of what he termed pre-
posterous declarations impossible
for sane men to follow. The Pro-
gressive party, he asserted, had
started on a right basis, and was
sure to make q wide appeal.

ROOSEVELT and JOHN

NOMINEES OF lsezaessfvE
PARTY WILL SPEAK IN NORTH
DAKOTA NEXT MONTH.

FFargo, Aug. .1O.-Theodor Roose-
Welt and Governor Hiram Johnson of
California, candidates for president
and vice president on the Progress
sive ticket, will each spend two days
in North Dakota early in September,
according to word received yester-
day by National Committeeman A.
Y. More from the Progressive ma
tional headquarters.
81 received a wire fran Chair
man Dixon of the Progressive ma
tional committee" said Mr.. More,
Saying that early in September Col
onel Roosevelt and Governor john
son would both come to the state,
but not at the same time. They will
each spend two days in speechmak-
ing and there is no doubt great
deal of enthusiasm will be aroused
by their visit.
''No arrangements have as yet
been made for the itinerary of eth
er distinguished guest, but 1 pre-
sumo each will make at least four
set speeches during his stay, and
short talks from the end of the train
at stations along the route.
Needs No Introduction.
"Of course Colonel Roosevelt
needs no introduction to the people
Aof the state and am sure he will
be given the same hearty and enthu-
siastic welcome North Dakotans
have always given him regardless
of party. This year he has spec
ial message to the people, and pre-
dict that regardless of their perso-
nal choice for president thousands
of voters will flock to hear him.
Predicts Big Ovation for johnson.
,..Csoyernor Johnson continued
Mr.. More, ''has never met the peo-
pie of this state, but his prominence
in national affairs, his great fight
for the Progressive cause in Cali
fornia, his battle for Roosevelt
against Taft, and his final nomina-
ton as the running mate to the Col
onel are so we'll known to all men
that I predict his reception will be
no less hearty than that given the
former president. He is a very
strong man and his pleasing perso-
nality quickly gains him friends,
so that 7 look for a tremendous en-
thusiasm as result of these speak
ing tours.
81 am. assured by the :, national
committee that wonderful cam
paign for the Progressive cause will
be made in every state in the Union,
and that from all parts of the coun-
try have come most encouraging re-
ports of the enthusiastic reception
with which the work of the conven-
ton has been received"
