duction and of the company.
Will Tnke You Back.
Human nature Is the same I ho world
over and the talk and action of the vll-
laso people pictured so graphically In
"Tho County Chairman" carry you
back to the days of youth and you
seem to recognize In the typos drawn
HO cleverly old frlrmls and acquaint
ances. The Replies of the play are laid
In Indiana but might bn In the far
wi-st the south or the north or what
ever the spectator's childhood home
happened to bo , for the Various per
sonages of the play arc sure to make
ono reminiscent. Mr. Ade's play Is
a satire but the satire Is always tem
pered with kind lines. lOvoryono who
has lived In the country will recognize
at a glance the nilnnlo details of the
author' ! ) creation ; the strong and often
broadly drawn characters which while
of the grotesque are really human per
sonages. The fact that Mr. Ado
passed his early life in a small com
munity gives him the power to picture
with such a facile pen the peculiari
ties and oddities of the village folk.
The County Politicians.
The story of the play has as Its cen
tral figure Jim 1 ladder the county
chairman who dominates every scene
with his rugged presence. Ho Is the
past master of all the Ins and outs of
politics In bis section. Incidentally he
helps In the development of the pretty
love story that provades the piece. As
the Hon. Jim Hackler , Win. Chaltortou ,
has a strong part , ono that is out of
the ordinary , and his characterization
Is said to he thoroughly artistic. An
other character study replete with
genuine humor Is the inimitable Sassa
fras , the colored voter , played capital
ly by I'M I'aulus , Mr. Pains' long as
sociation in this Hue of parts makes
him master.
George Ado Picked the Cast.
George Ado has paid " - at
tention to the cast , which is ono of ex
cellence throughout. T'lu ' 1-ulsh pro
duction of "The Countv Chairman"
from a scenic standpoint , has resulted
In its being known as a "Pictorial
Comedy. " The secf-nd act wl.lcli pic
tures the grove outside of Antloch ,
whore the debate between t.ho rival
candidates is held , Is u line example
of stage mnnagoment. And should
prove to bo of more than ordinary in-
teiost as there were many of ( hose
same scenes this -ear in real life.

Howard Church , was riding along
Grindstone crook when a bullet struck
him lieiitml i lie lut ear , and , alter
passing along the sldo of his lit ad
came out at the side of the temple.
The curious pint of It Is that lielth.'r
of the young men hoard the report of
the weapon from which the bullet was
tired. Neither did they see anyone In

hunter who was out of sight of the
young men llred at something and the
bullet missed Its mark and struck
young Ilonson. So far as known ho
has no enemy who would resort to an
attempt at assassination. Had the
bullet been deflected even a trifle It

BUSINESS MEN PATROL TOWN.
Wagner Has Unique Patrol to Protect
Town From Fire.
Sioux Falls , S. D. , Nov. 19. Special
o The News : The town of Wagner ,
Charles Mix county , without doubt Is
the only place In the state or the
lorthwest where a flro patrol Is main
tained by the business men personally.
The mammoth well which for years
furnished an adequate supply of water
'or the Wagner system has failed to
such an extent that it docs not now
afford the necessary fire protection. In
this emergency , and pending an effort
to make the waterworks system as efficient -
ficiont as formerly , the business men ,
realizing that sonic sort of flro pro-
lection must be provided have taken it
upon themselves to patrol the town
and thus prevent disastrous fires. Instead -
stead of hiring reliable men for this
duty the business men decided that the
Importance of the matter made It
necessary for them to personally pa
trol the town at night so nn alarm can
Instantly bo turned In If a flro breaks
out. Until other arrangements can bo
made the town will each night bo pa >
trolled by business men , working In
details of two each. It is thought the
piping of the well which furnished the
town its water supply has become
clogged by sand. An effort is to bo
made to clear the piping and If possible
siblo restore the flow oftho well to Its
old time volume.

$3.40 a Bushel.

( leorgo Mathers west of town yester
day afternoon. Some of It How so
wide of the mark that it missed Hie
bang boards , so frantic were tin ;
efforts of the four contestants to win
a purse husking match of $20.
The contestants were Ed Grant ,
Harry Heed , Sam Hanon and A. II.
Kclnecclus. All are residents of Nor
folk. All were soft muscled and un
used to violent physical exercise , and
as a result of their strenuous and un
accustomed efforts all are sere and
stiff today.

husked -111) ) pounds , Harry Heed was
second with " 7r > pounds , A. H. Uelnec-
clus third with lifiO pounds and Ed
Grant , fourth with ! ! in pounds.
The conditions were that each con
testant should put nil $5 , and the ono
who husked the most corn in half an
hour was to take the purso.
The corn was weighed in seventy
pounds to the bushel on the scales of
the Farmers Elevator company. The
judges were Henry Hascnpllug and Ike
Cook.
For spectators there were numerous
laughable Incidents in the husking
match. Hut the amusement was eon-
lined to the spectators , for the con
testants worked too fiercely to enjoy
things.
The first three ears shucked by
Hood went over the bump boards.
After that ho got what marksmen
called the range and only throw ono
in throe ears over the wagon.
Relneccius was In the lead In the
llrst half.
13d Grant claims that ho was handi
capped with down corn , also that Ills
rows were filled with cockle and sand
burs and sunflowers , all of which
really impeded progress. Hesldes , ho
ladn't shucked corn since 18U1 , and
vas therefore rusty.
Heed and Hoinoccius lost their hats
Ight at the start while bending downer
or corn , and husked for the remainder
of that long half hour bareheaded.
Sam Hanen , the winner , was the
only contestant who didn't have ex
cuses to offer. The 410 pounds ho
uisked lacked ten pounds of being six
bushels.
