Secret Revealed.

1nnumerable years yielded UP Sc
cret at the statehouse today. When a
janitor washed the transom in one of
the rooms occupied by Ora Davies,
state treasurer, it was disclosed that
one of the glass windows was of clear
instead of Opaque glass. The accumu-
lation Of dust of years had given the
glass frosted effect. Mr.. Davies said
he would leave the glass clear and not
cover the transom as has become a
fad among some of the officials of the
new administration.

characters were taken by Mrs. B. O..

gram for the performance, an error

Suppressed Desires" brought a
change to the audience and the two
scene comedy was laugh producer
from the beginning to end. Miss

fads and fancies cause people to be-
come "bugs" Her husband, played
by E. C. Jones, stood the brunt of her
demented ideas until liberation
ceased to be virtue and in defense
of his home ties, took up the subject
himself, producing most unlocked
for cure. Miss Clara Nelson as the
sister of the ''physcho" bug assisted
in the reformation by also becoming
an addict to the cult. The situations
of the three in the cast were most
amusing. The parts were well taken
and the play was produced in a truly
professional manner.
Hanson's Orchestra furnished sew
eral selections at the beginning and

doing this without a more reasonable
excuse than 81 wanted to see the new

the east end of the city have given
vent to their exhuberance over the
birth and christening of a child or
wedding or election, it seems that
a streak of joy this time hit a resi-
dent of the west end. The hose
with $50 pounds of pressure turned
on the west or east end of the fellow
when caught would have a tendency
to inculcate a little seriousness.
