Columbia Theatre Opens With “Ginger Girls" July 18th.

Much activity has been displayed in .building the production in which Ed Lee Wrothe and the “Gipger Grris” .will present themselves at the Oolurrfbia Theatre in Chicago for three weeks, cortmencing July 18th. This will mark the farewell tour of Ed Lee Wrothe in burlesque as next season he.will head a big review in London. , “Janitor Higgins,” the portrayal of which added sb much to the popularity of Wrothe, comes as a most welcome guest in the new attire. The character is the same in which he appeared during two record summer runs in Chicago. He appears in the first act as janitor of a fashionable apartment house pn Riverside Drive in New York City. Through "the'persuading of one of the tenants after ai big reception he is induced to act as husband to a jery prominent woman whose husband is at sea. She is about to ,receive a very large inheritance, but there is one stipulation in the will, her husband must be present at the signing of the papers, and the janitor is finally induced to act in the capacity of thehsuband, with a promise of a reimbursement for his services.

‘Everything moves along in tip top fashion, the lawyer comes and the papers are signed. During the conversation the janitdr realizes that he has ibeen the keynote to the situation, and after the departure, Of the lawyer, i demands an equal division of th a money, threatening to expose the whole scheme, They finally accede to his demands and with his share of the spoils he prepares to visit Alaska, a. country which* he has always been' very anx-' ious to See, and invites the whole party to accompany him. His invitation is accepted and everybody hurries to get ready for the trip to the frozen north.

The lo&le of the second act is laid in Wawson City, furnishing the back ground for the grotesque hilarity with which Wrothe is met. The entire party meats again after Hiiggins paid for their transportation to the frozen north. His experl enceS in the strange land cause constant orftbursts of laughter. The fun moires on fast until the very finale of ? the show, which finds Higgins back in his original position of a janitor.

Wrothe has very lucky in the selection of his support, especially in Miss Jane Leßeau he finds an artist of exceptional merit. Her introduction of ’My Seminole. Maid’ stamps her as a character actress not easily duplicated. Owen. Martin, Frank Williamson, Augusta Lang, Al and Fritzl Leyton, Leonard and Alvin and several others-are likewise in the foreground of the mirth dispensers. x The chorus, consisting of sprightly young women with good voices, is an attractive feature of the offering. Joe Hurtig, under whose .direction the ‘Ginger Girls” are out for new h'onons, has equipped the production with a wealth of beautiful wardrobe and elaborate scenery. •

CHANGE FOR CEMENT ARCH BRIDGE NOW

Let’s Get Busy and Do Things Right While We Are At IlLet Every Person Help.

_ A proposition. that sounds go good that we believe it should go through without a hitch is to have the Washington street bridge transferred to Work street and a ’ new cement arch bridge built to span the Iroquois at Washington street. It is almpst getting the cart ahead of the horse to suggest It now, but it would be an easy matter tp unv hitch and start right than to go ahead and then acknowledge our mistake for manjryears to come. <Many peopde petitioned ' for a bridge at Work street. The county council met.and made an appropriation anp the commissioners advertised for bidsrtofbe received at the August term. The specifications are now on file with the county auditor. The bridge is ,to be an 80 toot span with a. 16 foot driveway and two Moot sidewalks. The old bridge at Washington street will be /adequate to take care of the travel on Wdrk street for many, many years to some, Jt can be painted and made to took very respectable, practically as good as . any iron bridge. But Washington street should have a better bridge. A cement arch' is the best kind and can probably be built for $5,000, the amount -appropriated for the Work street bridge This means that by ehang-' ing the old bridge and erecting the arch we can ‘virtually kill two birds with one stone,, for it will not be very Jong until Washington will have to have a new bridge,

anyway, z . ’ Our fine new brick, street Is a grtat send off to our town. A new cement bridge wiM double the value in the matter of appearance. This is a matter affecting every resident, no matter in what part of town they may live. Let’s get busy and ask the commissioners to make.the change, even if a small delay is occasioned. "

John Lowe and Will Romig, the faithful carriers, had the pleas tire of seeing their pay cheeks increased to $1,200 a year.

SPECIFIC ROUTE IS REQUIRED OF RAILROAD

Tippecanoe County Commiasionera Refuse to Grant Brown Franchise for AM Roads. _ 1 The commissioners of Tippecanoe county refused to grant G. L. Brown, of the so-eailed Lafayette & Northwestern Traction Co., a franchise for all the roads of the county* but required him to name a specific route for his road. The Lafayette Journal, of today, Saturday, has the following to say about the fight for the franchise: O. L. Brown, attorney for the Lafayette & Northwestern railroad company, which has asked for s franchise in Tippecanoe county, stated last night that this morning his company would ask the commissioners to grant them a franchise over the following route: North along the Morehouse gravel road for about four miles: then west to Montmorenci; then ndrth along the Round Grove road. It is the intention of the company to keep to the north of the New York Central tracks. At Round Grove, the new line will run west through Gilboa and Pine townships in Benton county and then north into Remington. In their first request the directors of the company asked for a franchise in the county in blanket form. It was opposed by the officials of the Indiana Northwestern T action company, who propose to run a line from this city northwest to Chicago, via Rensselaer and lianinioad. When the commissioners convened to hear the petition for the franchise, the officials of both companies were present and jo me bitter discussions were indulged in. At that time the commissioners took the matter under advisement until this morning at 10 o’clock, giving the petitioning company time in which to formulate pirn.s,’stating a specific route over whi. h they will run their line.
