AMUSEM ENTS.
At the Casino.

Nazlmova, the distinguished Russian
actress was the attraction Sunday at
the Casino in the powerful drama,
The Red Lantern" She was seen IN
q dual role, playing both Mahlee- the
girl. The roles are OF such different
character that it was amazing to think
character that il was amozing to think
that one woman could portray them
both.
AS Mahlee, Nazimova was good -
depicting the passionate and inscrut-
able daughter Of two races-the child
Of an English father and Chinese
mother-whose instincts, traditions
and emotions surge in constant con-
fiict-naking Of her mental outcast
belonging TO neither race.
The story reaches dramatic heights
when the unhappy girl finds that her
yellow blood Is an unsurmountaDIe
barrier between a young missionary
whom she loves and herself. and the1
althe he is powerfully attracted to
her, this difference Of race can never
be overcome. Wild jealousy grips her
when she finds that ne really loves
her half sister, Blanche, (also played
by Nazimova) and in frenzy she agrees
to the proposal of Sam Wang, VINO
loves her but whom she hates to go
with him and lead the yellow races IN
an unrising against the whites. She
assumes the fantastic title OF the
Goddess Of the Red Lantern. when
thrills the people to fanatic, reilg-
ious frenzy and they determine to eX-
terminate the foreign devils
Relentless remorse SEXES her LOT
what she has done and at great FISK
to her own life she tries TO save
those of her fathers race whom she
loves. A tragic end occurs when the
girl realizes that she belongs to nelth-
CT p.o1!e ana caa aever hope for hap
piness. In beautiful contrast to THIS
UNEQUAL struggle is the romance OF
Blanche and the young missionary.
The Red Lantern" is truly colossal

vided for her and her supporting cast

Work For County in Two Instances is
Let Without Competi.ion,

There was no competition IN two
jobs OF bridge filling and grading let
Saturday by the county board OF sup
ervisors, there being but one firm bid
ding for each Job. Contracts were let
in both instances, notifications being
necessary in one bid, because the work
is let jointly by Marshall and Hardin
counties

the line bridge, on the north of section
!, Liscomb township, in which Hardin
county Is also interested, was let to
j. c. Mulkins, of Iowa Falls, at SO
cents per cubic yard. The contract for
this work is let by the Marshall coun-
" board but portion of the expense
is to be borne by Hardin county, and
the contract is to be entered into by
the Hardin county board of supervi-
sors. The contract involves grading
and filling about 5000 yards.
Sidney Mclean, of this city, was
awarded the contract for grading and
filling the Timber Creek bridge on the
Lincoln Highway, for so cents per
yards OF filling covered by the con-
tract.
Work on the Liscomb township work
is to start soon and the contract calls
for completion by DC. 25. 1t is hoped
however, to have the work finished be-
fore the time limit. The Timber Creek
work is to begin~before July rs and is
to be completed before Sept. 80.
The two contracts call for an ex-
penditure OF approximately $500.

To have visited the scenes OF the
great battle On which American troops
participated. to have stood by the
grave OF an acquaintance who gave his
life for his country and to have visited
the principal points of interest AT

and Mrs. Frank Reese, from New York
City.

is buried in O very beautiful cemetery.
This cemetery contains $50 graves.
The graves are all In even rows and at
the head of each is a cross about Ave
feet high. The cemetery Is situated
on a hill and can be seen for a mile
or more from the roads leading to
Chateau Thierry.
Chateau Thierry does not show
much signs OF the battle as farmers
are blowing only a short distance from
here. Now and then hand grenade
or shell is seen but We are warned
against touching them as many acci-
dents have happened"
Things We're different at Rheims,
where the bombardment was of four
years duration, writes Reese, and near
the city he and his "gob" companions
had an opportunity to visit the trench

ments and dug-outs. Near Paris he
saw German prisoners employed In
filing up French trenches and restor-
ing the landscape.

county farm, the six victims OF the bolt
and many others, who had enjoyed
family reunion at the Benson home
during the day, watched the approach
Of the late afternoon storm.
There had been no fear OF a severe
storm as the clouds were not such as
to indicate unusual atmospheric dis
turbances. Then there was a flash, q
roar OF thunder and six OF the party
lay stunned on the ground. The light
ming struck giant tree nearby, shat
tering its limbs and tearing its way to
the ground. I'D IN
