INCREASED INTEREST'IN MRS.
BEECHER'S IDEAL ENTER-
TAINMENT
There is increased interest in the
entertainment of Mrs. Beecher to be
given at the Franing Friday night
when she will interpret one of the
most celebrated plays. Many of our
citizens have heard her, and declare
she is one of the best; and so regard-
ed by the best judges.
Admission is 50 cents, and seats can
be reserved at Barbour's without ad-
ditional cost. The subject of her in-
terpretation will be either "World and
His Wife," or "Alice Sit-by-the-Fire."
A testimonial given her by Dr.
Stephen W. Gilman, Professor of
Business Administration, University
of Wisconsin, indicates how thorough-
ly her work is enjoyed by those who
know. He says:
"Since your last appearance in Mad-
ison I have been thinking of the mar-
velous influence you are exerting.
You are doing a work distinctly dif-
ferent from and infinitely superior to
that of any other interpreter of lit-
erature.
"The door you open to undergrad-
uates and to the public with your per-
sonality and matchless power is one
that has been vainly sought, though
earnestly and with devotion, by great
educators the world over."

For the secoijd time in a week or
ten days, the housebreaking outfit
which is getting in their work in Nor-
man visited the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Ray Berry, 315 East Acres street last
night, while the owners were at the
University theatre. They secured
$1.50 in money, a six-shooter, small
dinky bracelet, pair of cuff buttons
and some other articles, all valued at
about $20. The house was ransacked,
many matches being found on the
floor, but silverware and other valu-
ables were not taken. The only ar-
ticle taken at the first visit was a
revolver.
These burglaries are evidently the
work of a gang of boys, and a reward
is to be offered for them.

they last, $1.00 a bushel.

A WORD OF EXPLANATION
Many people have been read-
ing the story of the Million
Dollar Mystery and seeing the
pictures. Recently the story
was completed in story form
and quite a few people might
lose interest, knowing how the
story ends. The pictures and
the newspaper story however
are essentially different. The
final outcome of the pictures
and the clearing of the pic-
ture is concerned has as yet
been undecided. The judges
are now at work looking over
the thousands of answers re-
ceived and the award will be
made within the next few days
and the final picture will be
made from the best solution to
the mystery. The Million Dol-
lar Mystery is the greatest
serial picture that has yet
been produced and in all ways
is worth seeing. The price is
raised on this especial picture
for the simple reason that the
rental on the picture is so high
that it cannot be shown in this
size town for 5c and 10c.
See the sixteenth episode of
the Million Dollar Mystery to-
night at University Theatre.
