During the first act of the Girl

Grand tonight, will be presented the
famous diving and bathing novelty
which is said to have cost several
thousands OF dollars to produce. BY
means of elaborate and intricate cleo
trlcal and mechanical devices an IL
fusion of the sea is presented that is
admitted to be the last word in stage
craft
An ever changing kaleidoscope of
startling sartorical surprises stamps
this attraction as the best dressed
musical comedy that has been pro-
vided in recent years. No less than a
dozen complete changes of wardrobe
are offered by the dancing beauties
during the progress of the show.
The star OF "The Girl from Luxem-
burg is Arthur Clamage, favor!te
impersonator of comedy Germans. In
the east where Clamage has played
for decade he is regarded as the
greatest of all Teutonic wits. His
hold on public approval is strength,

stoop to vulgarity to gain laughter
He stands for clean shows, once ant

on part of the water, and previously
there had been requests for its use.
However, according to the ruling
of former prosecuting attorney, it
is doubtful IL the county can sell the
water. And, too, there is no assur-
ance that the county will not want all
the water for its own use in irrigat-
in the farm.
But If there is any left it probably
will be sold or given to those living

SECRET OF MANY ELECTIONS.

One year, when the youngsters of a
certain Illinois village met for the pur-
pose of electing captain of their base
ball team for the coming season, it
appeared that there were a number of
candidates for the post, with more
than the usual wrangling.
Youngster after youngster presented
his qualifications for the post; and the
matter was still undecided when the
son of the owner of the ball field stood
up. He was small, snub-nosed lad,
with plentiful supply of freckles, but
he glanced about him with dignified
air of controlling the situation.
"I'm going to be captain this year.
he announced convincingly, " or else
fathers old bull is going to be turned
into the field"
He was elected unanimously.-Ch
