From Tuesdays Daily.
The Palace Theater was crowded
to capacity last evening by people
eager to see the Safety First pic
lures which have been so extensive
ly advertised.
The films failed to arrive last
night and did not get here until Z
o'clock this morning over the c. M.
& St. P. railway.
The films We're expected to arrive
any minute and the big crowd was
kept waiting for them. Finally the
management of the theater produced
two reels of pictures and Professor
Clark of the County Agricultural
school gave an illustrated lecture of
poultry. using slides in the course of
his talk. In introducing Prof Clark
it was remarked that he could give
them a lecture on beef, mutton, poul-
try swine, etc, and it was left to
the audience to decide, SO they call
ed for poultry. Two full shows We're
given and the Palace was packed at
each. The moving pictures and the
lecture on poultry by Prof. Clark
more than repaid the people who at
tended the thaeter for coming out.
Whether or not the Safety First
pictures will be given has not been
decided as yet, as Albert Kroes the
deputy industrial commissioner has
not arrived here. 1t is thought that
he is on the G. & n. w. train STALL
ed in the snow between here and

TRAINS LATE;
WIRES DOWN
From Tuesdays 5 Daily

I 4 I'LL L AA-sot4SAg = DGA4A
The combination of sIeet and rain
Sunday night and the heavy snow
which followed it has put the train
schedules all wrong. The train due
here last evening over the c. NJ.
& st. P. at 6:29 did not arrive un-
til nearly II O'Clock. The morning
train was only two hours late.
The c. & N. W. trains due here
at lp. N. and 1:40 pm. seem to
have got lost some where between
here and Fond du Lac. The 1 O'Clock
train left here on time yesterday
but has not been heard from and the
train from the east due here at
40 p. m. had not arrived up to
noon today. 1t is thought both trains
are showed in somewhere near Fl
darado. The train due here at 1927
has not arrived and it is thought
that it was abandoned at Fond du
Lac until the other two trains could
be found and released from the snow
The fact that the telegraph and teIe-
phone wires were down made it i'm
possible to locate the missing
trains.
It has been learned that No. 80,
the train due here at 1:4O p. m. was
stalled at Eldorado and No. Is. the
train which leaves here at l O'Clock
in the afternoon was stalled at Al
mond. No. SO on being released
went back to Fond du Lac and No.
l6 continued its trip to Fond du
Lac. A snow pillow pushed by two big
moguI engines and caboose arrived
in this city from Fond du Lac this
at about 1920 o'clock. The
snow plow had cleared the line be-
tween here and Fond du Lac and re-
turned to that city, leaving here
about 1 o'clock.
1t is probable that the first pas
senger train to arrive over the
c. & N. W. Will be the 1O:37 to-
night.
