welcome with wholesome delight. an
original comedy with a consistent
plot like The Divorce Cure, the most
brilliant play of its time.
Beautiful sentiment is not only the
underlying theme, but dictates most
OF the action, in Mr.. Gillette's appeal
ing play, and the novel incidents and
effects which distinguish his former
successes Sherlock Holmes and Secret
Service are even outdone in The Di-
yorce Cure with the development of
the famous climatic surprise at the
end OF the second act, the prettiest
and yet the most novel curtain eli
max ever attempted in a modern
play.
Viewing the divorce question from
a good humored. satirical standpoint,
the incidents and dialogue of the Di-
vorce Cure appeals both to heart and
brain, and the basic irmness of its
entertaining logic, Is one Of the pre-
dominating elements that make it one
OF the most popular plays of the
season.
This eminent comedy will be pre-
sented at the ehautauqua auditorium.

YESTERDAYS rain
HARVESTING WORK DELAYED
NO TIME TO LOSE.

Yesterdays rain which continued
necessarily from IL o'clock in the
morning until night was general
throughout this portion of the state
and the quantity of water falling was
equal to any single storm during the
season. The rain came gently with
out wind, but the ripened grain in the
fields was more or less damaged by
being beaten down and lodged.
Trainmen state that barley harvest
had been commenced all along the
lines, but the rainfall was the cause
of a suspension of operations and the
farmers were idle today so far as
harvesting vas concerned.
Dealers in the city state that twine
had been going into the country rap
idly until yesterday when there was
a cessation in this line of business
and very little is doing today. .
C. w. Shirley Of this city was at
his farm in Orland yesterday and
made the drive home during the rain,
having been caught in the storm on
the road. Mr.. Shirley states the de-
lay to the harvest on account of the
rain is at least annoying. The fields
were soft before yesterdays storm
and there will be delay in getting ma
chinery working in the fields. Mr..
Shirley referred to a twenty acre
field of winter rye on lowland on the
farm of Frank Lander which is over
ripe and crinkling down. Mr.. Lam
der lost the crop in the same field
last year on account of wet weather
and the present stand is a volunteer
r and better than the original
crop, il 1t can be saved.
