"The Toymaker's Dream"
comes to the Bentley Grand Jan.
=, and is an adaptation from the
German. 1t tells a very pretty
story Of an old toymaker who has
mastered the art of manufacture
ing toys to such an extent that he
thinks. he can bring life to his
mechanical doll, who is, in reality,
a young milliner in love with a
nephew of the toymaker. The
nephew DISCUSSES as Mephisto to
frighten the old gentleman, and
no end of complications arise.
Really the plot is light, but well
defined, and during the action of
the play. some fifteen musical
numbers are introduced, and you
should see the play to appreciate
it's various comedy scenes, pecu-
liar, situations and cliinaxes All
the music is original, and the
costumes and scenery are excel
lent. 1t is safe to Say that no
other comic opera or musical
piece this season has such list
of entrancing lyrics as will be
offered, and one Of the best
organizations Of singing voices
ever brought here will be heard
in their interpretations of the
different songs. The company is
headed by the well-known char
acter singing comedian, Mr.. VIM.
G.. Cushman, supportedSby 4 first

Residence Of He. Bachelder Destroy.
ed Sunday Night.

The residence Of H. G.. Bachel-
der, the cashier of the Marvin
State bank, was discovered to be
on fire last Sunday night about
eleven o clock. William Cinclaire
the operator at the depot was the
first to discover the fire and gave
the alarm. Mr., Bachelor was
engaged at the bank at the time,
and Mrs. Bachelor and children
were visiting in Iowa. When the
fire was discovered it had gained
such headwav that it was impos
sible to save the building or any
of it's contents. An attempt was
made by Jacob Olson to kick
through the plate glass in a door,
but while he broke the glass he
cut his foot SO badly that he was
compelled to have doctors
care. Fortunately DR.. Carlton
of Twin Brooks was in Marvin
on another call, and dressed the
wound, The young man has
been in Milbank this week and
DR.. Ferguson is caring for the
injured foot, A deep cash was
cut in the muscle and tendon
just above the shoe top.
But one chair was saved
from the building The fire is
supposed to have originated
through some defect in the fur
mace, as it was in the basement
where the fire appeared to have
started. The building was valued
at $1,000 and the furniture at
from $l, 800 to $4,000. and both
were fully protected by insur-
ance.

What a lecturer brings to a town
is something more than an hours
entertainment. There may not be
much that is new in the material Of
the lecture. though there usauliy is;
there may be nothing spectacular in
its delivery and there need not be:
the lecturers style may not meet ali
the requirements for classical litera-
ture but if it has a note Of cheerful
ness running through it. If it rings
true to the higher call of duty. it was
not delivered in vain. Such a mes
sage is Mr.. Bakers.
Mr.. Baker is large, Jolly person.
Everybody likes him because they
can't help it. His "The Lucky Num-
ber' lecture has been delivered about

Trade TsATEMENr.

A trade statement issued by Argen-
tina shows that the imports of that
country from the United Kingdom in
the last fiscal year slightly decreased
from the preceding year There was a
much larger decrease from Germany,
and a small increase from France,
while there was an increase Of 30 per
cent. in the imports from this country.
That is certainly a flaucring exhibit
for US. a nddoes not indicate a press
ing need of greater governmental as
sistance TO our foreign trade
1t is true that Argentina imports
more from the United ngdom and Ger.
many than from us, bu those coun-
tries also take more Argentine pro-
duce than we do. and ali the Protec-
tionists assure us that the commoal-
toes OF England and Germany are
much cheaper than ours This should
be a sufficient reason Tor Argentina's
buying more from them than from us.
Our exports to Argentina are in
creasing very fast, while those Of
France increase Int little and those
of England and Germany decline.
