Al Bentley .rard, Tuesday Evening
October 10th

The story is rich in scenic pos
sibiltles. Its scenes are laid in
the picturesque seventeenth century
when the Spanish vicerovs were
sent to rule Italy 1t is the old story
Of an overtaxed people and a world
old sin committed through an over
abundance Of life and youth.
Fenella is the sister of the youth
full agitator who instigates the mob
to rebel against unjust tyranny.
She is dumb, but through her
graceful body and charming face
she attracts the attention Of the
son Of the viceroy, who with his
brother, has masqueraded as a
peasant to discover the, needs and
requirements Of the peasant ele-
ment.
The picture traces the life his
torv Of Fenela her yielding to
timptation' and the unhapness it
brings her; but, aside from the
personal element, we are shown
great elemental unheavels that have
marked the centuries as epoch max
ing and important. Taken un-
aware, the mobiles are overwhelmed
by the struggling mob, who press
onward until the royal palace is
reached.
The mob scenes are particularly
effective, and the close-ups OF
actual battle scenes showing thou
sands of windows stormed by The
hand hand fights between
the nobels and the peasantry are
splendidly handled.
The scenes that offer a showing
Of the Ballet Russo are Of course
Incompatible. The wedding feast
is par ticularly effective, showing
the dancing girls before the entire
court. The Spanish influence is
maintained throughout. which
adds picturesque flavor entirely

ments Of the entire picture at the

Fair 4 Success
Milestone Vale. Fair at Big stone
Was Great Success

The w NhetStone valley Fair at
Big Stone City the last three days
of last week prove one Of the finest
fairs held in the county during the

large and varying and a great many
individual entries proved to be a re-

ing.
The vegetable display was one of
the finest we have ever inspected
and among the common home
grown vegetables we noticed
several entries Of white and purple
yams, or sweet potatoes, something
most Of us had considered beyond
the possibilities Of this cliamte.
There were great many freak
growths shown, many Of them be-
ing of an enormous size. Nuts
were exhibited in profusion and
among them were peanuts and black
Walnuts, quite a curiosity and yet
exhibiting fine growth and de-
velopement. The floral exhibits
were very pleasing and occupied
considerable space, demonstrating
that this climate does permit of the
raising of some of the finest
flowers grown out-of-doors.
The animal department was not
lacking in its wide presentation of
cattle. horses, sheep and poultry
Several wild ANIMAL exhibits
brought home the fact that we are
not entirely without our share Of
wild animals. There were skunks,
chipmunks. gophers, Belgian hair,
~uinea pigs and several other
fpieces Of quadruped. The entries
of blooded stock revealed the fact
that the farmers in this vicinity are
gradually recognizing the fact that
blooded stock pays and prophesies
the fast approach of the day when
wheat will not be quite SO popular
with our rural friends All in
all the Milestone valley fair was
a success; the attendance was
large and while the fair was not
III any great pretention, everybody
came away pleased agreeablv
surprised at the possibilities shown
in the exhibits.

 A peculiar theory in regard to the cause of the spread of foot and mouth disease was recently advanced in the Leeuwaarden Courant by the district veterinary surgeon who places the blame on the fiocks of wild geese which fly over the Netherlands on their way to and from the south where they migrate to escape the northern winter. He says that just in those places where the wild geese make a halt on their flight foot and mouth disease breaks out apparently without cause. and he attributes it's apearance in the district to the carry ing of the parasites by the geese, which spread them on the soil.

Two Fires In One Day-cotton Burned at Upper MiII-Damsge to House of Orrin Wcodmansee.

ItcH1S VI OTffH -WNCOOulan8eSs
 There was excitement in the upper end of the village Monday afternoon, caused by two fires, neither of which proved to be very serious. The first one was in the lapper room at the upper mill, but plenty of help was soon at hand and the blaze was extinguish- ed without much damage. little cotton was burned and the lapper re- ceived thorough wetting. Towards night, another call for help was sent out from the home of Orrin Woodman- see. Some vigorous work was needed which was promptly given. prevent ing a serious fire. The blaze was caused by an overloaded soot-Iaden chimney near the outer wall of the house. which burned the sill partly through, and was burning up under the outside of the house. Some shingles and boards had to be torn of to get at the fire, which was ex- tinguished by the help of bucket bri- gade. It was very fortunate that 1t was discovered before dark.
