The Smuggleman.

“The Smuggleman,” an operetta in two acts will be given by the grade children of the public schools of the city, Thursday evening, May 18, at the opera house. About one hundred of t the grade children have been selected to present the charming little operetta, “The Smuggleman.” The characters consist of fairies, gnomes, knights, mothers, grandmothers, good boys, naughty boys, Mother Goose, and all. The children are being drilled every day in the rendition of their parts, and it is fully expected to make this the most elaborate, as well as the most pleasing, of any of the entertainments yet given by the grades. It is given for the benefit of the children who take part in it as well as for the pleasure it may afford those who witness it A charge sufficient to cover the necessary expenses will be made? All seats will be reserved at fifteen cents and will be on sale Wednesday morning, May 17. All patrons of the school are urged to attend. “My child was burned terribly about the face, neck and chest I applied Dr. Thomas* Eclectic Oil. The pain ceased and the child sank into a restful sleep.”—Mrs. Nancy M. Hanson, Hamburg, N. Y. • It has been proposed and is understood to have met favor with the school board that a gymnasium be constructed in connection with the high school building. The proposition will doubtless meet general favor and will be the means of keeping a number of athletic young fellows in school as well as being an aid to the physical developement of all the pupils. It will be made large enough, if built, for basketball and probably for indoor baseball. ✓
