1.-THE SPOILERS.
At the Rhode Three Days Beginning
Sunday Matinee.


Few who have read and been de-
lighted with Rex Beach's sensational
"Spoilers will fail to witness the
perturbation of the thrilling novel
which will be the attraction at the
Rhode for days beginning Sunday
matinee.
William Farnum and Kathlyn Will
Jams are featured in the principal roles.
'TThe Spoilers" tells in nine parts a
thrilling story of the northland, ming
ling love, life, liberty and romance.
Mr.. Beach's story in film form ap-
peals much more strongly to the public
than the book which has been one of
the best sellers of recent years and
which thousands have read with thrills
The play is saturated with the spirit
of the "old vest and presents strik-
ing realistic views of the mining ter
ritory in the days when law in its
technical operation was unknown.
In "The Spoilers" William Far
mum appears in his first venture#into
the photodramatic art in the role of
Glenister, the headstrong young
miner, permeated with elemental Ameri-
canism but not overburdened with the
refining influence of polite society.
9 Glenister' is a difficult character to
protray, but Mr.. Farnum loses sight of
none of the opportunity and appears to
good advantage in the heroic role
Those who have read the book will en-
joy the excellent portrayal of the char
acters OF Cherry Malottee, the dance
hall girl, Salp-Jack, Judge Stillman,
Broncho Kid and Struve, which follow
to the minutest detail the Beach mas
terful description of these. characters.
Miss Williams brings out the strong
and weak points in the character Of
Cherry, the most appealing figure in
the play, whose soul bears her above
her surroundings.
The principal scenes in the Play are
stirringly visualized, and the action
abounds in dramatic climaxes of the
most sensational nature. The story
tells of the adventures of GIenister,
who after accommodating vast wealth in
the Alaskan gold mines celebrates his
good luck by visit to the United
States. Before his return a plot is in
vented in Washington, D. G. to defraud
the miners of their property. A cor
rupt judge. is dispatched to Alaska to
accomplish these ends. but on his way
is taken i'll and has to entrust his pap
ers to his niece, Helen Chester. Small
pox breaks out on the ship on which
Helen sails, and Glenister helps evade
the quarantine, ignorant of her mission.
After falling in love with her Glenister
rescues Helen in a street brawl. Be
cause of his love for her he prevents
the miners from using violence against
the corrupt judge, and appeals to
the federal court to adjust the matter.
After many exciting adventures Helen
is made to seq the wrong she is doing
in assisting the conspirators.

Office Men and Foremen of American
Brass Co., Have Great Sport Saturday.

The Office men and foremen of the
big plant of the American Brass Com
pany were the guests of the manage
ment of the plant at big picnic held
at Silver Lake on Saturday afternoon
and it proved to be one of the most up
roarious things of the kind ever arrang-
ed for Kenosha bunch. Forty of
them went to the lake in automobiles
and there were contests enough to keep
every one busy during the afternoon.
There were baseball and swimming con
tests and supper fit for a king. In
the baseball game Bassett was featured
as a pitcher while Martin had the roll
of heavy hitter Henry Eichelman
starred as umpire. Beecher was feat
ured in the wrestling bouts and Moss

Feed. = It was one of the jolliest out
ings ever arranged for the Brassville

MAY GO TO LEGISLATURE.
B. B. Dickie, Former Kenosha Teacher
Named for Member of Assembly.

Prof. Robert B. Dickie, one of the
most popular of the former teachers of
the Kenosha high school, may be a
member of the next legislature as at
the county convention of the republi-
cans held at Baraboo on last Saturday
afternoon Mr.. Dickie was named as the
candidate of the party for member of
the assembly. His selection was unani-
nous and it is declared that he will
have no opposition within the party at
the primary election in September. As
Sank county is given to returning re-
publican majorities the chances of the
former Kenosha teacher reaching the
legislature are decidedly Favorable.
After giving up his school work at Ke-
nosha Mr. Dickie went to North Free
dom where he soon became interested
IN the banking business. He has pros
pered and is now one of the most
prominent Of the residents of Sank
county.

Prominent Masons from Racine and
kenosha met at the Masonic Temple on
Wednesday evening and completed
plans for the annual reunion OF the

of the order in the two counties and
the members of the committee are lay
