SENIORS DO WELL
Class Play at Caughren Last Friday
Evening Thoroughly Enjoyed By
Large Audience.

"a Russian Honeymoon" presented
by the Senior Class of the Sank Cen
ire High School at the Caughren the
atre Friday evening attracted an au-
dience that comfortably filled the
theatre. The play was entirely differ
ent from the usual run of plays, Sc
lected for class productions, but not
withstanding the fact that the piece
was heavy and difficult of rendition,
Mr.. Thomas had his proteges splen-
didly drilled and they gave very en-
joyable performance besides pronoun-
cling jaw-breaking names in a man.
ner that would do credit to really
turly Russians.
Special attention was given to the
staging and costuming of the piece,
and number of the students were
unrecognizable by even their most in
innate friends when they first came
on. Marion Lyman as Alexis Petro-
vich, played the part of this manly
young nobleman; he not only looked
the part but gave splendid inter-
probation, very natural, even unto the
attempt of tanning Poleska, his impet-
uous young wife charmingly played
by Miss Celia Kinsella.
Vera Jameson was the surprise of
the evening in her rendition of Bar
oness Vladimir, sister of Alexis. Her
ever willing ear was ready to receive
the smallest bit of gossip that might
develop into a scandal, in the hope
that she might appear extremely
worldly, but beneath all was pure
and noble heart. Miss Jameson look
ed very sweet and winsome in stage
toggery and her naturalness and
splendid enunciation were thoroughly
enjoyable.
Carl Minette, as Ivan, the Master
shoemaker, made the most of his COM
edy part, indicating very clearly that
the men of Russia were bosses of the
ranch at all times.
AS Macheline, his daughter, Alma
Bishop was all that a maid of all work
should be, dainty and sweet.
Koulikoff Demetrovitch, was played
by Neil Hopkins. Neil makes some
Russian when properly made up, and
while he had just trife difficulty
with his lines, he played the difficult
role acceptably.
Russell Cooper did not have a great
deal to do as Osip, the young peasant,
except to make love to Macheline. In
speaking his lines or making love,
Russell gave finished piece of acting.
A picked-up orchestra consisting of
Chas. Miller, Joe Kusba, Dewey Zet-
tel, Fay Cooper and Ole Arnestad
furnished splendid music for the oc-
casion.

DIED IN CALIFORNIA

Word was received in Sauk Centre
this week of the death of Mrs. Anna
Hatch, wife of Albert Hatch, which
occurred at Mountain View, Calf,
May A, 1915. Death was the result of
a paralytic stroke. The deceased
was about 55 years of age, and was
a resident of Sauk Centre and vicin-
ity for over 20 years. The family
removed to California in November,
1918. Mrs. Hatch was in poor health
before they left Sauk Centre. A hus-
band and an adopted son, Elmr, are
the immediate relatives surviving.
Burial was made in California.

mirers. Owing to his personal pop
ularity and peculiar nursing skill he
was greatly in demand in obstetrical
cases and he used to remark in his
oddly whimsical way, 81 can't tell how
many people l have helped out of the

know that l have helped over 1000

DR.. McMasters was broadly chari-
table. From the first he took a prom
inent part in every movement for the
uplift and betterment of his chosen
home town. He was one of the organ
izers of the Episcopal church of this
city and served as vestryman for
many years. He was raised to the
sublime degree of a Master Mason in
the Star in the West Lodge A: F: &
A: M: in January 1872. He was elect
ed Worshipful Master of the lodge in
1877 and was one of the best Mason
ically informed men in the state. He
was a member of Sauk Centre Chap
ter Royal Arch Masons.
He was a facile writer of both verse
and prose and among his effects will
be found many charming literary bits,
which he sometimes read to his init
mate friends, but with characteristic
modesty refrained from publishing.
He was most charming and fascina-
ting letter writer, and possessed an il
limitable fund of dry humor that
made him a brilliant conversational
ist and a most charming companion.
In 1875 he was married to Miss
Mary McNeice, sister of w. McNeice
of this city, the wedding taking place
in Indiana, the childhood home of his
bride. Mrs. McMasters died three
years ago. Two children were born
to them, Julia, now Mrs. G. w. Taylor
of Francisville, Ind, and Floy, now
Mrs. E. R. Tuffree of Minneapolis. He
is also survived by sister, Mrs. Jas.
Gilfillan, widow of the late Chief
Justice Gilfillan, of St. Paul, and
brother, S. R. McMasters, also of
St. Paul.
The funeral services took place at
the home of his daughter in Indiana,
and on Monday the body arrived in
Sauk Centre for interment, accompan-
led by his brother, sister, daughters
and their husbands. They were met
at the train by the Masonic lodge in
full regalia and the members of the
G. A. r. and conveyed to beautiful
Greenwood cemetery.
There the sweetly simple burial
service of the church he loved so we'll
was read by Rev. Anthony; the i'm
pressive rites of the lodge in which
during life he took so much delight
were performed and he was laid away
to- rest beside the wife of his youth.
His was a life full rounded and
complete, abounding with service to
his fellow men, replete with strenuous
activity. He met life's difficulties
valiantly, faced life's sorrows and dis
appointments philosophically and en-
joyed ife's blessings thankfully.
Courageous in conviction, firm in
principle, fearless and determined in
action, tireless in activity, charitable
for frailty, he was a characteristic
type of that American citizenship
that has made the Republic great.

We can't sec that this has any
bearing Oh the matter. Then
too he ought not to raise this
point, or some one might look
up the records and learn
whether all his IT'S in the past
supported the dry side of the
question so stront as he would
lead one to now believe.
But, really, readers, the
Courier's view of all these diff
ferences is to forget them. We
have time and again said so in
these columns. They are not
nearly SO Dig as we imagine.
We would like to see one unit
ed common interest of our peo-
pie. and when We reach thus,
we will march on to a splendid
success. Let's work unitedly
for all things hat are for the
good of Columbus and vicinity
and let our elections be in the
same spirit, and when they are
over let the personal feelings
be over too. Now, altogether
pull for all our interests. We
have great opportunities be-
fore us. Let's nail them,

may. and not waste our
energies in imaginary ills.
