The second number of the lecture
course will be given Wednesday, Oc-
tober 81 at the Ideal theater. The
attraction will be Ada Roach and
company in "The Heart of the I'M

one with powerful theme. 1t con-
sists of delightful study of Amer
lea as seen through the eyes of the
newly arrived foreigner whose heart
yearns for the dear old scenes of
home and friends. Every song has a
history; every movement is charac-
teristic Of some national trait or SEN

natural humor, wonderful
powers of impersonation, herself of
good Immigrant blood, and just the
right rollicking spirit to head such
as is needed to give "The
Heart of the Immigrant" Single

admirable qualities-big hearted, gen
erous, straightforward, a kind and
devoted husband and father and a
true friend. In the Emmett country
he numbered his friends by the hun
dreds and to them his untimely pass
ing brought deep sorrow. To his wife
and children the deepest sympathy is
extended in their sad bereavement.
The funeral was held Sunday at Cald-
well under Masonic auspices, and some
thirty of his Emmett brethren attend
ed to pay their tribute of devotion
and respect to a departed friend and
