THE CAST OF THIS
COMEDY A STRONG ONE
Well Known Artists'to Appear Here in
Musical Comedy at the Washington
On Next Thursday.

"The Rainbow Girl" most popular
of all musical comedies by, Rennold
Wolf and Louis A. Hirch will play an
engagement at the Washington Thea
ter on next Thursday. This notable
attraction has contributed more to the
gaiety of the theater's following the
past two seasons than has any other
musical work, though its tour has for
the most part been confined to the
large cities of the east. Skillfully pi-
loted, studded with the most expuis-
lite of melody, with lyrics of exceed
ing cleverness and comedy thai is a
delight it serves as model in the
art of musical comedy building. The
production to be given here is abso-
lutely new, its stage investure and
costume embellishments being of the
latest modes and pictorial beauty
that appeals to the eye.
Ollie Mack, an actor and comedian
of high standing, will play the hole of
"The Bish," and George Lydecker will
be the Lord Wetherell. 1.-The Rainbow
Girl" will be sung by Katherin Shaw,
whose fine soprano voice has brought
her genuine distinction. Ieona Wood
worth and Johnnie Jordan are two
clever young women who have sing
ing and dancing roles that they han
die so cleverly, as to charm the ear
as we'll as the eye. Joseph Daniels,
Casper Bauer, Frank Harrington, Jane
Burby, Margaret Merriman and Julie
Eastman are other capable players
that make up the roster of this joyous
entertainment. The big chorus is
comely, graceful and possesses good
voices. The orchestra will be under
the skillful direction of the Master
Director Fred Solomon.

Mr.. John WEIGH, chairman Of the

Dimmitt family, and one of the coun-
TVS most prominent citizens
The History of Kentuckians" says
Of hina:
DIR Dimmitt is one of the few who
make permanent home in their ma
tive town, and ii has been his portion
to attain a marked success and pres
tige in his exacting profession and he
is numbered among the representative
physicians and citizens OF German
town. To feel in the closing days of his
long life that he has followed natures
inward laws. that he has not lived for
self alone, that he has helped and up
lifted many of his fellow men, these
things and many more are the re
wards of the career of DIR. Dimnitt,
who stands in the front ranks OF phy-
sicians in Germantown. No estimate
too high can be set upon The work OF
such man and ii is to be hoped that
the brief record of the main events of
this kind will be an incentive TO those
who come after him TO work well in
what is before them, for il is in doing
thoroughly in little as in great things
that ones efforts can be crowned with
success.
'Dr. E. c. Dimmittee has practiced
since 1858 at Germantown, with the
exception of seven years spent al
Washington, Mason county. He WAS

county, receiving his literary eauca-
tion at University of Ohio, at Athens.
and his medical training at the Uni
esity of Pennsylvania, at PHILADELPHIA,
class of 1867, and has practiced coll-
tinuously ever since. He has had a
long career as a physician and has
always been ready to go 10 the aid of
the suffering in rain or shine and the
gratitude of those he has aided has
been more precious TO him than
pecuniary rewards. He holds the es-
TEEN of all because of his noble and
sincere character.
"Dr. Dimmitt married the daughter
of Dr. Wall, of near Mayslick. She
died May 81, 1910, seventy-one years.

two yers. Politically the doctor is a
Democrat. In religion he is MEM
ber of the Christian church. He is a
member of the Maso County Medical
Society. His house is what was the
Hames Savage house and was built
over sixty years ago."
DR.. Dimmitt was an uncle of Mr..
James B. Ross, of this city, brother

1.-THE high school teachers were also
granted a material raise in salary.
They, too, are to be paid on the
twelve-month basis. This insures the
retention of Superintendent Earls at

bers of the high school force, though
most of them have made other plans.

been invited to accept the work again,
and have until April 10th to decide
whether they will stay or not. After
that time any vacancies that may ex-

II have examined the report of my

~ wish to compliment you for pro-
viding for such practical courses as
domestic science and the commercial
courses. My inspector visited your
school when one Of the teachers was
absent and many of the students out
of school and hence did not see the
school at it's best. His report shows
that your Superintendent is working
hard to secure results and | trust that
you will give him your support and
