AMATEUR OPERA
Sank Centre Young Ladies Ap-
pear Before Fo0tIights
aad Make hit

''The Clown and the Girl" was the
title of an amateur performance
staged at the Opera House Tuesday
evening for the benefit of the Ladies'
Guild of the Episcopal church. Forty
girls would have constituted verti-
able "Adamless Eden" had it not
been for the presence of a male per-
son yclept Charles Payne, who staged
the production and who acted "The
Clown" After the show several
young society men were heard to re-
mark that it was shame that those
nice girls had to be all alone in the
cast without the aid,. comfort and as
sistance of the best young fellows in
town. The vehicle for the singing,
dancing and acting hasn't sufficient
dignity to be called play: in fact it
has the least:semblance Of plot Of
anything produced here for long
time.
Miss Mary Doolittle as ''The Girl"
won additional laurels as an amateur
performer-she had quite a collection
on hand. She was assigned difficult
part and filled it to the complete sat-
isfaction of the large audience Miss
Doolittle possesses much ability and
made for herself, on Tuesday night,
an enlarged place in the hearts of her
many friends.
The other young ladies and girls
took their parts we'll, the singing,
dancing and speciality acts being per-
formed in creditable manner. The
stage setting and the ensemble was
satisfactory.
Mr.. Payne is evidently good drill
master. He produced excellent re-
suits with his choruses in the seven
rehearsals held. AS a clown he is
himself. He would do well, however,
to cut out about one half the s'funny
business with which he keeps him
self in the lime light until the audi.
ence wearies. If he would also spring
a few new jokes instead of digging up
those of an antediluvian epoch, he
would please better. Mr.. Payne is a
professional and has this criticism
coming"
A very pleasing feature of the en-
tertainment was the appearance Of
Miss Hilsdale, who rendered two vocal
selections and responded graciously to
hearty encore. Miss Hilsdale was
in excellent voice and delighted her
many friends.

All is activity at the county fair
grounds. The management has a
force Of workmen employed erected
new buildings and moving old ones in.
to new positsons. The grounds are
being rearranged so as to make the
interior arrangements of the plat
more attractive as well as more con-
venient. The old church building
will remain where it is. The poultry
building has been moved to loca-
ton 10 feet west of the old church,
building. One hundred feet east of
the old church building is the new
agricultural building, 80 80; while
70 feet east of this is the old Wood
bury school building, which will house
the school exhibits. The old church
building is hereafter to be known as
the art building. These four struc
lures face the south. Between them.
and the race track is to be a perma-
nent open space. All concessions will
hereafter be placed alongside the
main building, or on the grounds to

ing started on its journey to the fair
grounds last Friday morning and by
Saturday night had reached the cor

Arrangements for the fair are pro-
crossing finely. A thorough campaign
OF advertising has been laid out, in
GLIDING ample space in newspapers
large placards and one or more auto.
mobile trips through Stearns and ad.
joining counties. The fact that James
J. Hill, the Great Northern magnate,
is to speak on the opening day is sure
to draw large crowd on that date.
Many other attractions have been
scheduled which will be announced in
due time.
There has already been liberal de.
mand for exhibit space in the differ.
ent buildings. The management de-
sires the public to make entries early

ing the additional buildings. Then,
too, it is desired to have all exhibits
in place when Mr.. Hill comes on the
first day. No entries will be received
later than noon on the opening day,
Thursday, September II.
There is to be meeting at the
Commercial Club rooms this Thurs
day evening, of all owners of auto
mobiles to plan for the proposed adj
yertising trip.

All weeds should be cut, and it is
required by the laws, willow brush,
leaving poplar, cottonwood and other
native trees to grow and be ornmen-
tai as we'll as useful.
One thing in connection herewith l
must mention and this is the present
width of our roads, rods, which is
just rods too much, in the opinion
of the writer, as this surp lus land is
not used to any extent, is allowed to
grow up to weeds, brush, etc., there
by keeping the roads wet or full of
snow in winter. 1t is much easier to
care for two rod wide road than one
four rods wide and the looks of the
the country would be very much
improved. 1 m advised this is
the sentiment of large percentage
of farmers and land -owners in this
state.
You can never get good roads by
dumping load here and load there,
and by putting sods, roots of trees,
ETC., in the roads, thereby driving
the public travel onto the sides of
the road.
There is no good sound or logical
reason why we should not have the
best possible roads with care in the
building of them; and right here let
me say that parties who vote under
our present system for man who
has no landed interest in the country
for oyerseer, vote right against their
own pocket-book. Put in a man who
has shown by his work to be good
