George W. Peck, ex-Gover nor of Wisconsin, the creator of the bad boy, as he Is now so widely pre sented In the press and upon the stage, belongs the credit of having been the first to discover and exploit the almost limitless possibilities of humor and genuine, healthful and happiest fun latent In his aggressive make-up. It the boy Is father to the man, George Peck Is also father to the boy, who since his birth In print, now nearly a generation ago, has had so many imitators, but never a rival In originality, or those graphically natural touches of juvenile human eccentricity, which have made millions so happily hilarious, whether hidden between the covers of a book or given the center of theatrical production. The owners of the play In question are alone authorized by ex-Governor Peck to reproduce his story In the form Indicated, and have done so with a liberality and faithfulness which he most highly commends. In short, the best and most entertaining story of its kind ever written has been converted Into the brightest and most laughable farce comedy ever put before the pub lic. Such has been the unanimous P RICES LOWER THERE ARE STILL A NUMBER OF SEATS LEFT WO CmmmRkU TO-MORROW NIGHT verdict for the past 20 years, and the many new features introduced this season serve to fully confirm it. Dl CTFD UUJILU Ml . On the 18th of this month La Grande will have "Buster Brown at the Steward, with Master Heed in the title part. This is one of the best of the many musical comedies that are now bidding for favor. It is fairly rampant with fun, while this season all of the costumes are entirely new and most elaborate, every stick and stitch of the scenery Is new, while new music and songs will also be heard. The chorus we are promised Is said to be large and most comely of face and form. This attraction should offer us an enjoyable evening at the playhouse. most sweeping of any ever adopted, and the delegates have bound them selves that their several Institutions will live up to it for a period of at least two years. The rules will go Into effect immediately after commence ment in 1908. PliEASING .ENTERTAINMENT. Lecture Course Entertainment Success, Dig Those who attended the Illustrated lecture last evening by Artist Zwickey at the Central Church of Christ, were undoubtedly well pleased with bis talk. Mr. Zwickey Illustrated his ad dress with crayon drawing, which he made with lightning rapidity. While his lecture was replete with sterling thoughts relative to higher art, he added much to the pleasure of the evening by well-timed and skilfully executed humor. Especially did he bring forth the smiles during his com ments and illustrations of, the ladles' millinery. All who attended were well pleased with his entertainment. Employ Japs In Place of Whites. The O. R. A N. Is laying j&all white section men except tJremtn, and installing Japanese, says the Wal lula Gateway. The whites have bees receiving (1.60 per day and working about half time. The Japs are to re ceive $1 per day, with' no allowance for overtime. As Harriman and H1U seem to bear the passage by con gress of an exclusion act, It behooves the companies to give employment to the hordes of foreigners that they have been rushing Into the country lately In order to keep them here. Although one white man will work of two Japs, still If thevta would leave and could not return, white men could not be secured it present prices. , ' TO CAMPAIGN COUNTY. W.
