AT THE ILLINOIS.


/ Richard Benefits co-workers will
present Eugene Brieux' great So
I Geological drama. Damaged Goods at
! the Illinois next Tuesday. This is the
play which has created more discus
sion since its first production in Amer
lea, at the Fulton theatre, New York.
on March Il, 1913, than any other
drama OF modern times. As the New
York Times has said. lit initiates
new epoch of civilization an epoch
which seems destined to establish
new outlook upon life, and an epoch
which will mean the correction of a
great social evil. The play is based
upon the ignorance and blindness with
which men and women of today as
sumo the most sacred obligations OF
parenthood. The central character in
the play is a young man who is physi
cally unfit to marry and who is so adj
vised OF the fact by his physician, but
who because his word is given and be-
cause he fears to violate the custom"
of engagements. lie marries an inno-
cent girl. The second act takes place
eighteen months after the first act,
and The young married people are
buoyantly happy in their home and jul
biIant over the birth of a daughter.
But in the midst of this happiness
there stalks the dread spectre OF
hereditary disease. The sins of the
father have been visited upon the child
and all the happiness becomes as the
ashes of Dead Sea apples upon the
lips of father and mother. The third
act concerns the efforts OF the father
of the young wife and the family |
physician to construct a new life for |
the young people on the crumbled |
foundations of the old.
1t has been the general verdict of |
the playgoers who have seen Maggie I
Pepper" that while Charles Klein !
wrote il, Rose Stahl has made it. and
the engagement at the Illinois March 6
gives promise of being one of the most
of the season. Miss StahI
not only demonstrates. in this instance,
that her personal ability can make this
play. but that she is an actress of
exceptional talent Maggie Pepper"

Frank Stare has a penchant for
blooded stock and, what is more i'm
portant, he is gratifying it. Ferndell
Farm is already noted for it's blood
ed stock, but Frank hasn't got
enough yet. Sunday carload of
Ayrshire cows, twenty in all, arrived
here from Boston for Mr.. Stare.
These are all pure-bloods, either
imported direct from Scotland or
from imported dams and sires. They
are expensive animals, a number of
them running as high as $3.50 each,
but they are from strains that are
producing record-breakers.
This carload was an exceptionally
fine bunch of cattle and all seemed
in excellent condition.
John G. Herr, herdsman on Fern
dell Farm, came up Monday and
drove them out.
There were also three pedigreed
Guernsey sires, which were shipped
here from Waukesha for members of
the Rusk County Guernsey Breeders
Association. Ferndell Farm has a
fine herd of Guernseys, besides it's
herd of Ayrshires.
