AT THE ILLINOIS.

The late Henry B. Harris who pro-
duced 1.-THE Lion and the Mouse,
'"The Chorus Lady, THE Travelling
Salesman, Maggie Pepper, and I'M
der whose management many of the
great, American stars have appeared,
made the original production OF
where the Trail Divides, the great
Indian play by Robert Edeson, which
will be presented at the Illinois under
the management Of c. S. Primrose
next Sunday. Mr.. Edeson, who is one
of the most popular stars on the Amer
lean stage, wrote the play for his own
use and he successfully appeared in
It. The play Is in four acts
with all hte scenes laid in the
picturesque ranch country. VIII
Lillibridge's novel of the same name
was Mr. Blossoms suggestion for
where the Trail Divides, and the
principal character is How Lander, an
educated Sioux Indian. The story of
the ply is of the love of the Sioux
for his foster sister and the frantic
efforts OF their enemies to prevent
their marriage. The play is full of the
breeziness Of the west and the char
acters, with single exception, are
all picturesque westerners. C. s.
Primrose has made an exceptionally
massive production of Where the
Trail Divides, and the play will be
presented by an exceptionally brilliant
cast.

Dent IN
STILL NEGLECTED

The dent in the asphalt pavement
at Twentieth street and Fourth ave-

ment in its belated underground valve
work, and which it will be recalled
was to be Immediately repaired, is still

The moral again presented is that
it is much easier to tear up than it
is to put down.

CARLISLE AND WASHINGTON
STATE COLLEGE WILL PLAY
ON CHRISTMAS DAY.

Spokane, Wash, oct. 24.-East and
west will battle on the gridiron for
the first time in football history when
tho famous Carlisle Indian school
team meets the Washington State
college eleven in Spokane Christmas
day.
Coach John r. Bender of Washing
ton state has received a request for
the game, and has announced accep
tance. In addition to paying at Spo'
kane, the Indians plan to play at Seat
tie and Portland on this winters trip.
Their game with Washington State
will afford the first opportunity for
intelligent comparison of the class Of
eastern and western college football
teams. St. Louis university was de-
feated decisively in Spokane by the
state college eleven in 1907, but St.
Louis did not rank with the Carlisle
Indians, and the game gave basis Of
comparison between the west and only
a limited number Of colleges in the
middle west.

the engineering course but we want
more girls to take up the work. When
they had a vocational conference for
women at Madison, Wisconsin, went
and hoped something would be done,
but l have heard nothing more about
it. In April, all the colleges in Wash
ington had such a conference and had
speakers who took the subject up from
the professional, business and COM
mercial standpoint. I was there. Some
of the most prominent women in the
country were there. I remember es-
pecially Eleanor Rily, interior decora-
tor, who Is strongly in favor of voca-
tional education for women and sug-
gested that student should major In
History before taking up such work as
hers so as not to get their periods
mixed. There was great excitement,
when a girl rose from the back of the
room and said, THAT is all right for
you to say but why didn't you come
here earlier and tell us? am now in
my senior year." Well, we want to
reach other girls before they get to
their senior yea. The Idaho Unive =
sity is just a little way for where the
meeting was held and the COMMERCIAL
club sent a large number of those uni
versity girls over. We had in all
about 500 young women at the meet
ing. The women in Montana are be-
coming interested In this question and
the State Federation of Women's
Clubs want conference in their
state. The college in Bozeman has
promised to pay for all speakers on
vocational training or preparation 9TH
er than teaching, and have been In
Minneapolis trying to get good people
to come out there. The conference Is
to be held November IA, Is and 16, and
I have secured Mrs. Mabel Urich, a
doctor who will speak to us, Miss Hunt
the dietitian at Battle Creek, Miss
Baldwin a photographer, and oh, a
wonderful photographer who says she
was obliged to take up photography
because she was so tired Of studying
about things she wanted to take pic
lures of them. We expect to have a
profitable time. can not imagine my
self doing anything else but teaching.
Again, greet you. am glad to be
here and thank you for your atten-
ton.

long chat about things in general
with the man and when he left him
about fifteen minutes before, he seem
ed alright and he had made no com
plant whatever. The brakeman said
he was a stranger to him. Advices
of the death have been sent to Min

quests as to the disposition Of the
