THE LIGHT ETERNAL" :"

The ST. Louis World says of "The
Light Eternal" which is coming to the
Temple Theatre October 9th:
"a theme of beauty is portrayed with
realism in "The Light Eternal, dra-
ma modelled upon the masterpiece Of
Cardinal Wiseman's Fabiola,
"The Light Eternal" is especially
beautiful from the standpoint of those
delighting in artistic scenery. The
piece ably portrays the life OF the
Christian in the later days of the Ro.
man Empire when the followers OF the
Nazarene were prosecuted as dogs and
when there. would be no more con-
tempt than that applied to the word
christian"
The story of Christian martyrdom in
which the principal characters are a
converted Roman, and pagan prin-
cess, is woven about the plot. The
play is notably worth while.

JUST PURE CUSSEDNESS
Boyne City Biped Hurls Plank
Into Widows House.

Some fellow, fit candidate for asylum
or penitentiary, hurled plank, three
feet long and foot wide through a
window at the home of Mrs. Flo
renee Prieb, 635 Collins street, at
2:3O Sunday morning. Mrs. Prieb is a
widow, residing there with her three
small children.
Naturally, she was terribly shocked
from fright. She arose in time to catch
sight of the fleeing figure of man.
Sunday night she was again awakened
and saw man prowling in the vicinity
of her home.
The window was carried away by the
missile. Glass in a thousand pieces
was scattered over the room.
Mrs. Pieb has armed herself with a
.38 calibre revolver and says she will
fire on the slightest provocation should
she be threatened with another attack,
She is hard-working industrious wo-
man who has made home for her fa-
therless children. The wretch who at
tacks her home deserves to stop one of
the bullets from the new gun.-Boyne

WAREHOUSE BURNED
Thought Probably To Have
Been Incendarism

The warehouse building at the foot
, of Williams street was practically de.
stroyed by fire which started about
$3.50 a. m. Tuesday morning.
The building and grounds were
owned by H. |. Mcmillan who had pur-
chased same for a warehouse and had
a sidetrack built for cars. The build.
ing had been thoroughly cleaned of all
rubbish and how the fire originated is
mystery. 1t was first seen by the
engineer at the Electric Light Plant
who Immediately turned in an alarm.
AT that time the building was mass of
flame, and that our firemen responded
quickly to the call and gave efficient
service is evidenced from the fact that
the framework was left standing.
Mr.. McMillan's loss was about $500,
with no insurance. Contractor A. G..
Rogers had quantity of cement stored
in the building, part of which was
saved, but his loss is considerable over
s200 Robert Cook was using the second
floor as carpenter shop, several valu-
able tools going through the fire, but
until they are cleased and tested he
will not know just what his loss is.
A carload of coal on the sidetrack
was ignited from the bnrning building
and partially burned. A gang of men
were put to work as soon as the fire
was extinguished, clearing up the de-
bris and saving as much stock as pos
sible,
