Lead Thursday evening, after a visit
at the home of his son..
A company of stars which embraces
such notables as Joseph F. Sheehan,
Americas greatest tenor, Miss Mirth
Carmen, celebrated prima donna, Miss
Laura Baer, from the Paris Opera
Company and whose reputation ex-
tends throughout Europe and America,
Beaumont, is an event at any time
even in the larger cities. When the
stars, instead of presenting one opera,
take three of such famous operas as
III Trovators," Bohemian Girl" and
Martha" and select the best there is
in all three of the operas and put it
into one performance, we have a COM
bination such as one has an opportun-
ity of hearing but once in a lifetime.

No trace has been found of the fell
lows who shot and killed Guy Fralish
near Turton on Wednesday evening of
last week, and the probabilities are
he is hundreds of miles from here. The
sheriff's office secured the country and
did everything possible to locate the
murderer but he made a clean get away
and will doubtless never be apprehend-
ed for this crime . A Mrs. Fridge
of Manchester, Iowa, who was visiting
at the home of her son Paul, a couple
of miles south of Frankfort, was killed
by lightning last Saturday afternoon
when a bolt same down the chimney.
She was sitting near the stove playing

killed instantly while the children
were not harmed.-Doland Times-Rec-

Wilhelm Nagel, the German boy who
attended college here last wear, writes
to Brookings friends that he is now in
Denmark, where it is presumed he
went to escape service in the German
army. Wilhelm's father sen him over
here last year so that he would not
have TO take the regular three years
army training and he went back home
for a visit in June, there being at
that time no prospect OF war. VIII
helm has a horror of war and when
the college boys found this out at the
time of the Mexican trouble last spring
they had considerable fun with him.
They informed him that he would
have TO join the American army that
was TO conquer Mexico and they put
him through a rigid physical examina-
ton. To test his lungs they had him
run around the campus several times
and at the end of each trip he was
required to yell at the top of his voice,
Fly! The enemy are upon US" On
the last trip he was thoroughly winded
and all he could do was to utter a
feeble Fly"
Father, dear father, come home with
me now, for mother is out with the
gang-the suffragette crew that is
bowling for votes-and says that the
house a go hang. She left US this
morning just after the dawn and we've
not beheld her since then; there's
nothing to eat and the fires gone out,
and Towser has killed the black hen.

and tired, and wish hal you'd come
right quick. There's dishes to wash
and beds to be made, for ma didn't do
a blame tap, but put on her bonnet and
hit out for the street to join in the
suffraget scrap. So, father, cone
home, some tailor made bread, some
coffee, some sugar, a gallon of prunes
and butter whose hair has been shed.
For mother would vote and she's after
it strong-she vows hat her rights are
denied-but what of US youngster-
neglected at home, each gnawing in
side? If children could vote you can be-,
your last bean that the militant suft
would get theirs" But, father, We

and come home to answer our prayer.
So, father, dear father, come home
