LECTURE COURSE HOME
TALENT PLAY SUCCESSFUL
Largest Attendance at Theater So
Far This Season

A crowded house greeted the pre-
sentation of the play, Because |
Love YOU put on by local talent at
the Star Theater last Friday even
ing. Beyond doubt it was the
largest audience that has witnessed
any play here so far this season.
1t was four act play with twelve
characters in the cast and the com
.pany was made up of eleven people,
all. of Hurley. While the plot of the
play may not have appealed to
everyone, all were agreed that the
manner in which it was presented
left but little room for improve
ment. Hurley has always had the
reputation of being able to put on a
home talent play in creditable
manner. but the young people who
took part in this one showed more
than the usual ability in that
direction.
This number was given to com
plete the 1916 course which was put
off last year on account of not hav-
ing suitable hall at that time.
The next number on the 1916
course will be the Lyceum Enter
tainers who will appear here Fri
day, April 7th.

Methodist Bishop Taken
I'll While at Jamestown

Bishop Napthali Luccock, who was
to have had charge of the Methodist
Forward Movement convention which
was held there on Wednesday; was
taken ill after his arrival and taken at
once to the hospital there. He has
been in poor health all summer and
on arriving from Montana on Tuesday
was feeling so much worse that it was
though best to remove him at once to
the hospital where he now lies in a
critical condition, suffering from pneu-
monia. On account of his previous ill
health it is very doubtful if he will
survive. His daughter, who was visit.
ing in Mankato, Mimi, was sent for.
Bishop Henderson was present and
took full charge of the convention CIV
ing several inspiring addresses on the
development Of an Evangelistic
Church."

Litchville Bulletin: Mr.. and Mrs.
Harold Gusaas, of MortlOch, Sask.,
Canada, arrived here Monday, after a
little better than a months visit at
the latter's old home at Viroqua, Wis.
They will remain here about three
weeks as guests at the George Aan-
dahl home. On their way from Wis
consin they stopped over at Mime
apolis to see the auto show. Mr.. and
Mrs. Gusaas have lived in Canada five
years and are prospecting. They have
as fine home as many who farming
80 years, drive Ford and raise horses,
which is quite profitable on account Of
the war prices and also because there
is no personal property tax in their
province. On account of the 40 per
cent tariff autoes are quite expensive
up there and Ford sells for $40.
