Assistant County Attorney J. H. Ready
„ ho has been hovering between life
and death at St. Anthony's hospital for
several days, was reported to be con-
siderably better at one o'clock Friday
afternoon
n elegant new bulletin board has
i placed In the corridor of the Leo-
Huckins brte! announcing the coming
meetings, conA entlon', baseball games
and attractions at the local theaters. It
is a handsome affair, with bold white
lettering on a black back-board, and
'standing on a shining brass platform.
The mystery of the missing slipper Is
causing agitation In the city hall. Tues-
day morning a slipper was found near
Northeast park. It was a lady's slipper,
at that. It was left In the office of Sec-
retary Valberg of the parq commission.
Next day the slipper was declared to
be the property of a woman who, out
joy ridlnn while her husband was out of
town, was thrown out of an automobile,
her leg broken In three places and later
taken away In a car, the slipper being
forgotten In the hurry of the moment.
The secretary saw a chance to learn
some scandal and put the slipper away.
Now, however, the slipper Is gone.
Whither It went and by what route,
means or manner 1s still unknown. And
the chance of learning the identity of
the woman who lost It Is fast fading.
The constant growtn in trio patronage
of our want ad columns furnishes the
best and strongest proof of their value.
FAIR PARK THEATER.
No announcement this summer has
created more Interest than the state-
ment that "Wild fire" will be put on
at the new Fair Park theater all next
with Ruth Robinson, the new
leading woman, in the role niade fa-
mous by Lillian Russell, the celebrated
American beauty. Miss Robinson comes
heralded as an actress of the first class,
who is remarkably handsome and wh<
possesses a personality that Is positive-
ly eontaglous.
"Wildfire" Is a race horpe play In a
class by itself. It was written with a
view of allowing the star every oppor-
tunity to wear some fine gowns and
the wardrobe of Mlxa Robinson la uId
to be complete in this respect. While
written especially for a woman, the sue-
cess of the piece depends upon good act-
lug on the part of half a dozen or more i
principals and every member of the |
North Brothers' company will have an |
opportunity to contribute to the entar.-
talnment of the people who will flock
to the casino.
