Fine Feathers" Eugene waiter
tragedy OF a graft, ambition and DO
mesticity. as revived by Gazzolo,
Klimt and Ricksen, is the attraction
in the Lyceum theater this week. The
cast includes some OF the most able
players who have appeared IN the
Randolph-st. playhouse during the
present season, and the staging OF the
piece is unusually well done, great
deal OF care having been manifested
in the selection of properties for the
two interiors which constitute the
loci of the four acts.

refuses the bride, but his wife, tired
OF the battle with poverty. gives him
the alternative OF selling himself 10

at last agrees and accepts the money.
With the money thus gained, the
couple set up a house in fashionable

on by Brand, plunges on the stock
market. lie meets with no success,
and at last finds himself penniless
and with a $4,000 overdraft at his
bank.
To cap the climax, the dam gives
way because OF the inferior cement
employed in its construction, and hun
dreds OF people are drowned Brand

stay and face the music. Brand swears
that IL he goes to jail on Reynolds

WANT COUNTY FARM AGENT.

Members of the Bernadotte Farmers
club, at a meeting held last Friday even
ing, went on record as favoring the
employment of county agent for
Nicollet county. Agitation of the ques-
ton has been going on in quiet way
for some time, but the Bernadotte club
is the first organization to come out for
the proposition. 1t will secure the CO.
operation of other farmers clubs, and
doubtless the matter soon will be brought
to the attention of the county board.
Supt. B. M. Cosgrove and Prof.
Stewart Leaning of this city, attended
the meeting in Bernadotte Friday even
ing. The former addressed the club on
the forestry amendment to the state con.
stitution, and Prof. Leaning gave an
outline OF the duties of county agri.
cultural agent. At the conclusion of his
talk the club adopted the following
resolution: Resolved, that the Berna.
dotte Farmers club express itself ir
favor OF an agricultural agent for Nicollet
county, and that we invite the othe1
farmers clubs in the county to join with
us in this movement
Ole Olmanson, vice president of the
Norseland Farmers club, is an out.
spoken advocate OF the county agent, anc

therefore, that the movement will receive
encouragement in all quarters st. Petel

GRIDIRoN COMMENT.

Chicago, Oct. 18.-New Ulm followers
of football are taking a keen interest in
the results of the early season games of
Minnesota University and the other
teams in the western conference this
year as prospects appear bright for
championship elevens at several of the
nine institutions. As New Ulm sends a
number of students to Wisconsin, Chicago
and Minnesota every year local rooters
are especially eager to hear Of the pro-
gress of the teams atrthose universities.
Before the season was inaugurated the
Minnesota students were rather down.
cast and numerous bear stories were sent
out, complaining of the ''greenness" of
the squad. According to their showing
in the first three games DR.. Williams will
have developed an eleven by the time
the crucial games arrive which will give
the best teams in the conference tussle
for the honors. AS heretofore, their
offense is apparently much stronger than
their defense, as they have not found it
difficult to run up several touchdowns in
each game, but they have also allowed
their opponents to slip the ball over their
goal line in few instances.
With Scion, fullback, standing out as
the shining light on both offense and
defense, Minnesota has crushed North
Dokota, Ames and South Dakota, and
work must now begin in earnest as they
meet Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and
Chicago before the close of the season.
All OF these teams are strong and will
