Dc Dies Comedy Circus Headline s
 Act Bill at tho Auditorium.

If one compares the various popu- lar price shows being offered within radius of 100 miles in any direction, a Glance will show that the Auditorium of this city leads them all by a great deal. For instance the programme for the last three days of this week. The headline act De Dios Comedy Circus as an offering alone is a higher priced set than any four acts being offer ed elsewhere in this vicinity. This act is the best comedy animal act even seen in this city, and carries ponies, mules, dogs and monkeys, and the speed with which they perform their various tricks is a revelation. An other act on this bill shows the quail fly of the acts booked and that is sir Walter weems.'' The Earl of vir- ginia- MT. Weems was originally booked here last week, but he was such an enormous hit in Haverhill, Mass, that he was kept over an en- tire week extra. If Weems can't get a laugh here it's the fault of the formances have proven his merit For 9 classy act the Misses Hardie and Ardele are without a peer, and have an offering that is bright neat and refined. zampa and Tampa a re- fined musical duo will entertain with their harmonious melodies on va rious instruments, and Freddie James will without a doubt be a scream, as Freddie is almost juggler and his drofl humor combined with his juggling are always a hit.
 The photo plays on today's bill are fine. '"Adrirt'' an exceptionally beau tiful drama of the Northwest with Barbara Tenant and O. A. C. Lund, Pitfalls" a Powers film with Edwin August, and two comedies of the Crystal brand. There as two com plete shows in the evening, and pa irons arriving as late as o'clock will see complete show, not half show Tho prices are as usual, 10 and 20 cents in the evening and 10 cents at matinee.
 Tomorrow, Friday. will bring Se- ries Mo- 1, of the great Lucille Love The Girl of Mystery" this series will be continued every Friday and Sat urday after. For quality and quanti- ty combined, the Auditorium invites comparison with any show for miles around.

ONE OF GREAT CHAUTAUQUA LEG
TURERS WILL SPEAK TO-
NIGHT ON RURAL UP
LIFT THEME.

This is Governors Day: Governor
Hanna of North Dakota is now absent
on his mission to Norway and of cour-
Sc sould not be with us. We will
have as our guest however, Governor
A. o. Eberhart of Minnesota, one Of
the great governors of the country
Governor Eberhart will speak this
evening at the auditorium and his
theme will be the rural uplift move,
ment.
That Governor Eberhart is one of
the popular men of the Chautauqua
platform is evidenced by the fact that
when Former Governor Folk of Mis-
souri, now connected with the nation
al ADMINISTRATION at Washington, found
it impossible to fill the Chautauqua
dates for which be had been engaged
this summer the dates were at once
offered to Governor Eberhart. The
Minnesota governor accepted and will
fill some fifty Chautauqua dates dur
ing July and August and for his two
months work will receive salary of
SO. 900 and all expenses.
Governor Eberhart is we'll qualified
to speak upon the conditions of rural
life. He has been identified with the
agricultural life of Minnesota and of
many years add as governor he was
always concerned in carrying out re-
forms and measures to improve rural
conditions. Governor Eberhart has
been one of the foremost advocates Of
rural consolidated schools in Mime
sofa and has also advocated many 9TH
er things for the betterment Of farm
life.
If you are interested in the great
questions affecting rural conditions
now up for solution, you will want to
hear Governor Eberhart this evening.
He is splendid speaker and man
with a message. What more could
you desire.
