PEOPLE ALWAYS LIKE 1T.

"In Old Kentucky" will be given at
the Caughren Theatre on Friday ev-
ening, Sept. 4th. 1t has entertained
more playgoers throughout United
States and Canada than any other
drama now current, and it remains to-
day one of the most wholesome and
interesting, and one of the most alb
sorbing and thrilling of all the stage
offerings of the day. 1t is worth any
ones time to sit through a perfor-
nance of this delightful drama. There
are scenes of realism that leave a
strong impression on the mind, and
much genuine and sparkling humor,
breezy and wholesome. The love story
unfolded in the play is an idyllic one,
and has charms with its simple pur-
ity and truth. There is lovable
mountain lass who does heroic things
in a natural manner and there is a
manly young hero of the right sort.
Miss Maude Parker, in the leading
role of the brave mountain girl, is
said to give splendid portrayal of
this trying part. A fine company and
a pretentious scenic environment is
promised-and the everamusing Eth
opian contingent-the merry pickan-
innies in songs, dances and band mu-
sic.

RETURNS FROM MEXICO.

Paul Hilsdale arrived in Sank Cen
tire last week from Mexico where he
is engaged as shift boss in large
copper mine. The young man left
this city about three years ago short
ly after his graduation from the en-
gineering department of the Colorado
School of Mines. He first landed in
British Columbia, then to Nevada. He
has spent the past ten months in
Mexico. He was located at point 30
miles south of Bixbee, Ariz. He said
that the people in the states knew
more about the Mexican situation
than Americans in the locality where
he was situated The only fighting
there was Geurilla warfare. All the
office men and heads of departments
were Americans, the laborers being
Greasers. The European outbreak has
shot the price of copper to pieces and
the mine has closed down until con-
lions improve. Meantime he is visit

cade and were playing to packed
houses.

FARMERS IMPRESSED
Illinois and Indiana Farmers in Large
Numbers viii Look Over Land
Opportunities in Minnesota.

Gales5urg, ILL.,, Sept. 1.-The Lin
nesota State exhibits at the District
Fairs of Galesburg, ILL.,, and LaPorte,
Ind, are attracting great deal of
attention and are visited daily by hun
dreds of people who are interested in
seeing the products produced on the
cheaper lands of other states. II have
made Fairs and Land Shows with a
Minnesota exhibit number of times
in the past, said Fred d. Sherman,
Commissioner of immigration of Min
nesota, who has charge of the exhibit,
"but have never sec-. so much inter-
est displayed as at this show. Drought
has hit this country nar. the last two
years and many renters who are pay
ing SIS to SO per acre cash rent, or
giving half of the crop, are dis
couraged and ready to hunt a new To-
cation. Many of them come to the
Minnesota exhibit and tell me they
are going to leave here in the fall and
seek a new location where land or
rentals are lower.
at is hard for people who have
never been out of the state to believe
that the four foot clover, thirty inch
alfalfa, corn, potatoes, fruit, etc., in
the Minnesota booth are products OF
Minnesota, but when have chance
to talk with them land show them our
literature all bearing the names of the
members of the State Board OF Immi-
grafton, which is the Governor, Secre-
tary of State, State Auditor and two
others, can usually convince them
that it is not "fake" exhibit.

here, and I believe that If Minnesota

who have lands to sell, would canvass
the territory tributary to Galesburg
