Jacob Myers's dwelling on his farm in High Ridge. was destroyed by fire Monday night. The fire was calmed by a defective fine. It broke out about 8, in the upper part of the house. and made rapid progress. Mr. Myers was in New York, and the only persons in the house at the time were Mrs. My- ers and her children, who are young. Only a little furniture and some cloth- ing could be taken from the house. The nearest neighbor is John 0. Ser- rach. He lives half a mile away, but got over to the burning house as soon as he could. Other farmers also came to odor assistance, but nothing could be done to check the flames. In a short time the fire had gotten com- pletely beyond control, and it was not long before the house was burned to the ground. The house was worth about 82,000 and was insured for a small amount. The exact amount of the insurance could not be ascertained yesterday afternoon. The place for- merly belonged to George Potter. He sold It to Mr. Myers who was then in business in New York.

Olo Olson. as played by. Ben Hend- ricks, furnishes a quaint picture of tbe development of the awkward and un- tutored Swedish immigrant lad Into the shrewd. honest and helpful Swedish American of the Northwest.

' A stage replica of Just such scones as are onucttd around many family hearthatoncs.

But Shannon and Dempsey are veritable magicians of amusements. it were more proper to so)”. perhaps, that they never falter or weary in their observation of the pro- ducts in that field. They really know everything that. Is going on anti are not slow to make the best use of their knowledge. They have the. rare facul- ty of gauging the popular taste. They have been so long in close touch with the public, that they feel the changes In its tastes by instinct almost. Con- sequently. they cater for their patrons whose name is legion, with certainty, and have presented to them entertain- ments which have never failed to please, They do not permit an act, a song, or an artist to pail or weary. They can estimate the value of each expertly, and know when, where. and how to shift and place them all to the best advantage. With their well known iiberaiityoono had almost said prodigality—they never let coat. Impede success if money will win, and it gon- eraliy does, when used with sound judgment. The company this year is larger than ever and will include such names as Waiter Shannon. James Dixon. Al. Lang, Frank Casey, Ida Maria Rogers. Mildred Tevis. Mabel Bloodgood, Della Donald. and many others. And to make assurance double sure. the greatest care has been be stowed on the selection of the cheris- ters, the pretty young girls, and the . musical features and new composi- tions. Messrs.
