STOCK COMPANY TO REPEAT OPENING NIGHT SUCCESS

The North Brothers stock company which, is playing the New Ellis this week will repeat their opening night success, “The Great John Ganton,” this evening by reSiest. Due to the bad weather of e opening night only* a small crowd saw this remarkable play, and its popularity is attested by the request of theatre patrons for its repetition. “The Great John Ganton” is a story woven about the life of J. Ogden Armour, millionaire packer, and the Chicago stockyards. The play is filled with human heart interest and carries with it just enough humor to make it intensely interesting. The North Brothers company carries a cast of ten people, all skilled artists in their respective parts. Last night’s play, “The Parish Priest,” was well received. a three-act comedy drama, built along the Unes of “The Rosary,” which was so popular only a short time ago. ... , . The company will close their engagement Saturday evening, when it is expected that a packed house will greet them.

WEATHER. Fair south, local snows central and north portions tonight. Colder Saturday. Fair, colder south portion.

FOR ARBOR AND BIRD DAY

GOVERNOR GOODRICH ISSUES PROCLAMATION ON ANNUAL EVENT. Governor Goodrich has set Friday, April 16, as Arbor and Bird day in Indiana, in a proclamation in which he said: “If we fail to plant trees today to enrich _ and beautify the state, and to furnish shade and comfort to the men, women and children in years to come, we shall have neglected a duty, the importance of which is not easily determined. “We shall ever have a deep interest in bird life. Without these cheerful friends, with their beauty and their songs to lighten the daily task by cheering the heart, much of the charms of life disappears, i Moreover, their value as destroyers of multitudinous insects in the garden, orchard and field is of such ! consequence that every act to en- ' courage bird life is an act of a public benefactor. “Let us, therefore, do what we can to encourage the planting of , trees and protection of our birds. To this end I urge an Arbor day celebration 'by the various county and municipal authorities, believing that they should join in making this day distinctly beneficial to all the citizens of Indiana.”
