WIN. Winter, veteran among

has said of "Tne Thief which will
be seen at the Opera House on We'd
nesday, Aug. 81, with Miss Janet AL
Ign in the leading role: st is good
play, we'll acted and should run six
thousand nights in New York and af-
ter that sincerely hope that G. S,
Primrose will present THE Thief
in every hamlet, village and city in
the United States It is play with
q purpose. 1t is a play husbands
should take their wives to see; one
that wives should take their husbands
to see and that every unmarried man
and woman in the country should
see.
An added feature of the Grant
County Fair to be held here September
Is to 10 is the motorcycle races. A
good many have already been entered
and on Saturday and Sunday several
were tested out on the fair grounds
| track. The Indian" racer, with
a speed capacity of over 80 miles an
hour, owned by Will Snider, of
South Lancaster, and ridden by Fred
Avery. was too fast for the rider and
plunged through the fence, bending
the front wheel and breaking minor
parts. This machine will be ridden
at the fair by a local young man in
the Free for all'' race, 1T being
barred from the other two. The
Thor machine owned and ridden
by Walter Damn was also too speedy,
throwing the rider and breaking the
machine. From all appearance now
these races will be one great attrac
| ton.
Clark A. Buchner and family. of
Melville, ARK. are expected here next
