"uNCLE TOMS CABIN"

Stetson's "Uncle Toms Cabin,
the greatest Of all American plays,
will be at the City Hall, Pembina,
one night only, on Thursday, Sep.
tember 9Th. "Uncle TOMS Cabin
which had a greater influence on
American history at critical time
than anything ever produced on the
stage, is as well known to the old
playgoers as the books Of their
childhood days. After many years
Of success on the stage, it became a
favorite of the tent-show class, and
finally it rather died out. As re,
suit, many of the younger genera
tion have never seen it, although
all have read Harriet Beeche1
Slows immortal novel, on which
the play, is based. It is to meet
this demand for the play among the
younger folks, that j. w. Brownlee
has produced "Uncle Toms Cabin
anew. And many of the old-timers
who remember it as it was in its
hey-day will want. to see it again.
The company that is coming here
numbers forty people, with an
equipment that insures a highly
creditable production. "Uncle Toms
Cabin" is a play that contains SEN
sational scenes, that depend on spe.
cial scenery and effects to make
them effective. 1t is claimed that
special scenery is carried for every
act. The company, in addition to
competent actors and actresses fol
the principal parts, includes twenty
colored singers, musicians, dancers
and entertainers for the plantation
scenes. There is a pack of real Gu
ban bloodhounds which is used in
the play. Like the old "Uncle
TOMS Cabin" plays, this company
stages a street parade with good
band, ponies, chariots, dogs and no
Yelties. Remember the date.

IN the closing days of the session
the medicinal beer bill occupied the
attention of the Senate for a time
and spasmodic lights Of oratory
presaged for moment the reviving
hopes of the vets. Senator Reed Of
Missouri, bitterly criticized the au-
thor of the prohibition bills, Mr..
Volstead, and other Senators who
incline toward dampness gave voice
to sentiments both eloquent and
bitter.
Senator Reed, discussing the bill,
refused to discontinue his speech at
the noon hour but dispatched a page
for a sandwich and cup of coffee,
munching as he held the floor. SEN
ator Watson of Georgia rose and
observed:
"Sympathizing with the fatigue
of the Senator from Missouri.
ask him this question: If he were
now attending the marriage in Ca
ina OF Galilee, where Jesus Christ
made wine for beverage purposes,
would he not like to have glass of
that wine ?"
Senator Reed: eff 1 had a glass,
l would divide it with the advocates
Of prohibition on the other side, and
j know they would drink their
share. know that, because they
look dry"
Senator Tom Watson steadfastly
defended the sanctity of the home
and evidently he, too, neglected his
lunch to do it.
"Mr. President" said the sena-
tor, II have been in this chamber
since 10 o'clock this morning, and
feel that for one day at least / have
earned my daily bread. Necessari-
~ l am weak, in sorry condition
mentally or physically to argue this
great case which I had hoped to ar
que before this debate closed"
"As l was about to say, do not
know where other lawyers of the
Senate obtained their learning,
whether in colleges, whether in
graf universities, whether in moot
courts, but I know that where |
learned what little 1 know about the
law, and l. have no doubt that there
are others who have had the same
experience" =
"I studied my Blackstone at
night, by the blaze of the pine-knot
fire, after teaching school all day
for a living"
"Talk to me about putting the
habitation above all, over legal, alb
solute natural rights. It seems
monstrous to do it,"
Blackstone told us, when YOU,
Sir, like l read those pages by the
Pickering flare of the blazing knots
in the hearth, that the least touch
OF the person, unlawful and against
our will, was an assault"
According to an announcement
made by Congressman George M.
Young on the floor of the House,
the International Joint Commission
has completed it's preliminary re-
port on the Great Lakes-St. Law
renee deep waterway, and the esti-
mated cost of the project, based up
on the opinion of engineering ex-
perts has been fixed at approxima-
te'y $253, 100000. Mr.. Young stat
-; net eight years would be requir-
sd to finish the project and that, if
constructed, it will cost less, and be
Of Of more value to the country, than
the Panama Canal. Mr.. Young
feels that the bringing of ocean-go-
ing vessels to the ports of the Great
Lakes will help the interior states
and that the developement of over
100000 horsepower will be of i'm
mense value to the eastern cities.

proval Of the agreement and former
irreconcilibles like Borah and john
son are believed to be in accord
with the party on the present trea-
ty. Confirmation Of this treaty will
leave the way open to a resumption
Of commercial and diplomatic, rela-

and an ambassador will probably be
sent to Berlin shortly after the
Senate has given its approval to the
peace treaty.

The recess found the work Of the
session well at the half way mark

beginning Of the special session and
agriculture has received very fair
consideration throughout. The Kel-

bill to regulate the grain exchanges.
The emergency tariff bill has been
