THE FRANK w. PETERSON
DRUG STORE.

On Saturday, Aug. 1S, Mr.. Frank
w. Peterson formally opened his new
drug store at the southerly corner Of
Chicago avenue and East Lake street,
and hundreds of old-time friends and
acquaintances dropped in to greet him
and welcome him to his new location.
Mr.. Peterson is no stranger to the
drug trade nor to the people of Mime
apolis, for he has seen a quarter OF
century of service in his line, where
the most exacting and skillful work
was required. He has conducted stores
in the Syndicate building and in the
Andrus building where he was always
in immediate touch with physicians
and enjoyed their absolute confidence
in compounding of prescriptions. MIR.
Peterson is the proud owner Of desk
upon which over 100000 prescriptions
were compounded during his business
career. The new store is to be an up
to-date pharmacy where you can Job
tain what you want when you want 1t, =
of any articles carried at f1rst-class
drug store. Prescription work receives
special and expert attention, for Mr..
Peterson has record in this line OF
service that he is determined to main
tain. He also conducts manufactur-
ing and wholesale pharmacy business
which is of extensive proportions, en-
bracing Twin City and state trade.

DEATH OF JOHN s. RYAN.
Veteran Train Dispatcher Of the MIL
waukee Railroad Answers
Final Summons.

After forty-seven years of faithful
service as train dispatcher for tho
Milwaukee railroad, John S. Ryan, of
this city, was closed by his death on
Monday last at the home of Mrs. Jerry
Coughlin, SIS Eighth street south. He
was one of the best known telegra-
piers and railroad men of the north
west. He was charter member of
the local council Of the knights of
Columbus, and always took an active
interest in it's affairs. He was born
in Hamilton, Ont, in 1849, and while
still in boyhood moved to Granville,
Wis. He was only twelve years old
when he had acquired mastery of
telegraphy, and in 1866 he received
his first position as night operator
for the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railroad at Madison, Wis. He was
appointed assistant train dispatcher at
Minneapolis on the I. & M. division,
and in 1872 was promoted to the posi-
ton of chief train dispatcher.
Mr.. Ryan was an intimate friend of
Mr.. Jerry Coughlin, the we'll known
Minneapolis contractor, now deceased,
and lived at the Coughlin residence
for forty-two years. He was godfather
of Father William G. Coughlin who
celebrated his premier mass at the
Pro-Cathedral in June last, and who
administered to Mr.. Ryan the last
sacraments of the church.
The funeral was held on Thursday
morning at the Pro-Cathedral, where a
solemn mass of requiem was read in
the presence of a large assemblage
of the friends of the deceased. The
body was taken to Milwaukee for in
terment.

ton Of Character Plays.
Fiske O'IIara has the courage OF
his convictions in the matter Of select
ing plays. He determined when he
became a star several years ago, that
he would never appear in a play which
in any way discredited the Irish char
acter. Even then, at the outset OF his
career, he fought the green-whiskered
carciature which is labelled Irish
man" in the farces and burlesques OF
the day, and today when these carica-
lures have grown even more offens1ve'
he is more firmly intrenched than ever
in his position Of UNFOLDING the Irish
character on the stage.
Mr.. O'Hara is a thoroughgo1ng
American. His sympathies and pa
triotism are wide enough to take in
the little isle of green where his pa
rents were born and reared, and at
heart he is tremendousl Irish. 1t
was his love of the dear land across
the sea which led him into playing
Irish characters, for he had appeared
in many other plays before he became
an Irish star and has never known a
happier day than that on which he
interpreted his first Irish romantic
part. His first original play was "The
Rose of Kildare" wholesome story
of Irish life, then came I'm Old Dub
lin," a comedy with the distinct pur
pose of showing the best side OF the
society of the Irish capital. Follow
ing I'm Old Dublin" Mr.. OHars
played the hero in Augustus Pltou'
"Jack's Romance" The next season
was given over to Kilkenny" ate
which he appeared in ellis Heart'i

PANTAGES.

Pantages will present as head
liner the current week prime favor
tie in Minneapolis, the Chesterfieldian
marvel, Willard, "the man who grows"
Willard is one of the most welcome of
all the stage people who come to Min
neapolis. OF fine physique, elegant
stage presence, he brings his un-
matched act, which has caused anatom
ical experts to marvel at this latest
example of the power of will over
matter. For Mr.. Willard, right before
the eyes of the audience, increases
his stature seven and a half inches.
When it is considered that he is a
tall young man without the increase,
it is an exemplifcation of the grow
ing of a giant before ones very eyes.
He also lengthens the arm reach Is
with no apparent effort. By the use
of these peculiarities, he is enabled
to introduce some novel comedy into
his most marvellous act.
Like a "bit off the top" of a ballet
Russo, comes "a Dream of the Orient"
with Mile. Makarenka, a gifted COM
pany of pantomimic actors and &C
tresses, who are marvels of the art
of dancing. It is heralded as one of
the brightest and most alluring acts
on the vaudeville stage. Elaborate
stage setting and lighting effect, are
used to make this absolutely live up
to it's title.

talented young woman, will furnish a

died last year The portrait. which has
been painted by Clawson s.. Hammitt'
one Of the leading portrait artists in

the college, nevertheless such Formally
can not be effected until after a meet
ing OF the executive board and Alumni
Association Of the College.
The portrait. which is a profile, Is
an excellent likeness, and one Of the
