It is said that a conference was held among the prominent democrats both from here and Hillsboro and all the arrangements were perfected to launch the new paper. Rumor has been current here and at the county seat town for some time to this effect, but it was not until Monday that any tangible evidence of the fact presented itself. And it was hinted, too, that one of the present comity papers proposes to switch over into the democratic column.

One of the most welcome en gagements of the theatrical sea son is that of the Swedish dialect play "Tilly Olson," to be played at the Crescent November 4. Manaeer Fred Falkner in nre- senting this comedy-drama is pro viding the most consistent and realistic play based upon the traits of Scandinavian character, that has ever been shown on the stage. Tilly is a young Swedish gin iuu or ary numur and pos sessed of the characteristic traits of the daughters of Scandinavia. Her rightful property having been stolen from her in child hood, the play finds her working in the capacity of a 'bound girl" on a Minnesota farm. She makes things lively for her prosecutors and later leaves the place to seek her fortunes m Minneapolis. Tbprp she is successful in thwart. fnc a bier bank robbery anrl ia ra. warded generously for her servi ces. She recovers ner property. a rich farm, marries the man of her choice, who had once worked on 'the same place with her in the davs of her penury and mi- erv, and proves the truth of the old saying. "Everything comes to those who wait A fine scen ic production wiU be furnished" for the play which is in four acts and eight scenes, and a compe tent and big company employed. The title roll will be played by the extremely clever eccentric commedienne, Miss Aimee Com mon. One scene, showing the interior of a Swedish church in Minneapolis, will be noteworthy, as the Swedish marriage cere mony with full choir will occur as the finale of the play and a fitting termination to a delightful Storv.
