—lt is a serious matter to tear down
a card placed on a house by the sani
tary officers to warn people that there
is contagions disease in the house, and
the party who does it is liable to a fine.
This is not under city ordinance, but
under a State law, passed several years
ago. When there is disease in a house
the general public should know it. and
knowing it they keep out of the house
and away from danger, in order that
the disease may not be spread. If they
are not warned they are liable to go in
to the disease-infected residence, and
that is the way contagions diseases are
spread and much mischief caused. The
placards are a warning and should not
be tampered with.

urday, and less than half a vote out.

the sth ward the Republicans and Dem
ocrats agreed upon a ticket, and in the
3d ward John Smith beat Thos. McNair
for the Democratic nomination for As- j
sessor by a few votes, while the Repub

Echo.
While it is claimed, that the mosrt
wonderful echo in the. world is in the
castle of Simonette,. two miles from
Milan, Italy, which, repeats the echo of
a pistol shot sixty times, here in Ameri
ca we have an echo which is much
more reniarkakle, the universal echo;
that has been repeating for years the
praises bestowed upon that favorite and
popular comedy "Ole Olson." It re
turns this yesr upon a mere elaborate
scale than ever before and judging
from the many nice things said about
it elsewhere it is doing the banner busi
ness of its career. The ca»st is an ex
ceptionally strong one—embracing all
the old favorites— and nearly all the
originals. The great feato re is the bi
cycle race which has set the theatrical
world to thinking to whart extent stage
realism will be carried.

NOTES
The poor attendance of some was
caused by sickness. The greatest trou
ble is to get to school in time in the
morning.
We are all glad to hear that Jessie
Thompson and Bennie Lepley are re
covering from their sick spell.
The heaterii seem all right since re
moved.
It was a joke on Blanche that she
had to walk home.
The primary room-teacher and schol
ars enjoyed the sled-ride given them by
Jas. McGowan.
Ned. Blair. Hugh, Clayton and Tom
had a pleasant party one evening last
week.
The advanced arithmetic class think
that cube root is rather "long and diffi
cult."
The scholars and teachers are pleased
to hear that Willie Langharst is im
proving at Passavant Hospital.of Pitts
burg.
The scholars have bought "Uncle
Sam's Schcol Songs," and you ought to
hear them sing now, Newt and Russet
think they will soon be able to carry
the bass anywhere.
Robert is right when he says a boy
who breaks a pane of glass, should re
place it.
Blanche Newman thinks the map of
Massachusetts is a funny looking ani
mal.
Mont is working hard for that air
rifle.
Geo. Heyl thinks a big boy shouid
act like a young man, when at school.
Geo. Shaffer thinks he has an idea
what '"woo" means.

PARK THEATRE.
OLE OLSON- -JAN. 28.
An exchange says: "Dramatic fin ish
has been giv»'U to the entire production.
Many good points heretofore almost ob
solet'e, have been made prominent, mod
eru stage realisms have been added to
others, while all the seemingly super
fluous and if any obtrusive elements
have been entirely obliterated, giving
the whole play a wholesome atmosphere
of those pure, innocent, adroit and na
tive humorous incidents that carries
with them, not only an evening's enjoy
ment but in years to come the happy
recollections of one of the most realistic
natural and artistic creations today be
fore the public. An innovation has
been advantageously made in the third
act where "Ole"' attends a bicycle meet.
Here is introduced a bicycle race,
which is the theatrical sensation of the
season, and succeeds in holding the
audience spell bound from start to fin
ish. A genuine race, with real bicycles
living men, and riding at a record
breaking pace is a sight worth going
miles to witness, and can only be seen
with "Ole Olson." The comedy is in
terpreted by a company of unusr.al ex
cellence and one that surpasses any
former production of the piece. The
specialty and musical features are stud
ded properly though the play -and con
sist of only the latest and best novelties
and melodies. This if undoubtedly one
of the best attractions of the season,
and will l>e seen iu this city Friday Jan.
28.
BLUE JEANS—MONDAY JAN. 81.
The question has been asked "Why is
"Blue Jeans' so popular with the patrons
of the theatre?" One word will answer
that "Realism." The characters are
natural, in fact studies from real life in
the "Blue Jeans" District of Indiana.
The story is conventional yet interest
ing: the scenes and incidents are realis
tic. What is more natural than the
pigeon oil the barn, the ox that is bar
becued for the political feast, the Ris
ing Sun Roarer's Band, and the great
Saw Mill in operation? Every scene,
incident and character in "Bine Jeans"
is realistic. The great tiouble with
many plays of today is too much stage
ism and &not enough naturalness In
"Bine Jeans Mr. Author has used all
the elements'of success,-comedy, path
os, and sensational effects, and he
selects bis company to fit their respect
ive parts and rehearses them as he
wishes the parts played. He gets the
results that the public appreciate. The
scenic effects are original and the com
pany competent. The patrons of the
Park Theatre will have a chance to pass
judgement, as the play will be present
ed next Monday eVcuing.
Mi; BEANE FKOM BOSTON W F.<INKS
DAY FEU. 2.
The new musical comedy, "Mr Beane

ny. Numerous odd and quaint special
ties will be introduced, also many

who eujoy a laugh should not fail to
see "Mr Beane from Boston".
