young women located on homestea DIS
all over the state who are up and
doing in the suffrage campaign is a
revelation. A nifty girl and a quarter,

land is something worth while as a
start-if the aforesaid maids could be

matrlmony as they do in votes for
women.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bishell leave this
week for Glasgow, where they will
have the management of the new
Orpheum at that place. Mr.. Bishell
is All exceptionally good show man
and has made the Orpheum in this
city one of the best show-houses in
the state, and there has been nothing
left mdone that would add to the
pleasure or comfort of the patrons OF
the Orpheum. We regret very much
to see this family leave here, but
wish them the best of success in the
county seat. Mr.. Wilmert will sue
coed Mr.. Bishell as manager of the
Orpheum here, and that Gus will
make good from the start is assured.
He has had considerable experience
in the show business and knows
thoroughly what the people of Malta
want and will be found at all times
trying to please them.
