AT THE Parts Well Taken, and Management and Direction First Class. As a producer of home theatricals, V. M. DeVere last evening proved 'himself in a class by himself when home talent actors presented the com edy, "Don't Lie to Yonr Wife," under auspices of the Elks' lodge but tinder the management of Mr. .DeVere. It is safe to say that no home produc tion in a half dozen years has gone who was out for a lark, s urprised her most ardent admirers, and has never been seen to so good advantage. Jin. Tom Williamson, somewhat of a new face on amateur theatrical boards. proved herself especially fitted for the part she took. The Elks' quartet is always popular and last night they were in fine trim. They were encored so often that they finally had to refuse the demands of the audience. This was true of all the specialties too. H. E. Dixon's natural ability showed itself and he, like the others, was up to the high standard of the production. Whether Buying for the Cbld Weather now or for your spring needs-or next winter's needs- Don't forget you'll find new winter guods here on our coun tm and the new 1916 Spring Goods on our shelves, at less money than shown elsewhere, regardless of the style of sale. - Look us up Look our stock of good3 over they 11 back up our statements. - ENGINE RUNS BID.

The commission also heard a report concerning the readjustment .of the police force. S. A.

General Manager's report for the week ending January 22nd, 1916: The street superintendent spent $34.40 for teams and drivers; $13.10 for white wine and 80 cents for blacksmithing during last week. This included the work done Sunday.

"Don't Lie to Your Wife." On account of the roads and the weather and for various other reasons the most of the visitors did not return home until this afternoon. The notice arrested a woman for drunkenness. She was .released and has left town. The information ob tained from her may lead to arrests later on. There were twenty sleepers last week.

Judge Ben Lindsey and his wife succeeded in interesting Ford early in the voyage, in a plan for . finding homes for European war , orphans. The management, then controlled by Peace Secretary Louis P. Lochner and Mm me. Schwimmer, served notice shortly after Ford's departure for home, that the steering committee would repudiate any subsidiary move ment which did not have the commit tee's approval. Such approval was refused the lindseys. JDean S. S. sonal friend, was not on good terms with Mmme. Schwimmer nor Loch ner. It was the general impression that his influence was responsible for s detaching Ford from the party. S. S. McClure was denounced by tie man agement and for his part spoke of the expedition's management in terms of contempt. Differences were not forgotten when the party landed.' The 'various splits widened. They were not the result merely of divergent views. .They were due to petty ri valries for control .of the expedition, to individual ambitions and to the .failure of the greater number of the delegates to grasp the bigness of the Ford idea.
