NEWS OF THE COUNTY SEAT
PLAY MADE A BIG HIT WITH PEOPLE. "Corner Store" at Central Munle Hall Proven an Entertaining Affair.
To a capacity house, the
"Woodmen Dramatic club, presented the four-act comedy drama, "The Corner Store" at Central Music hall last evenlngy and the presentation was enjoyed by all. Like all first night amateur performances, the usual small hitches occurred, which will easily be eradicated at a second presentation, and taken all together, the work of the entire cast was very commendable and above the average ability displayed by traveling troupes presenting a like attraction. It would be hard to single out any particular member of the cast for special mention, as they all showed marked ability in histronic capacities, arid it would suffice to say that the Modern Woodmen can feel hghly complimented by being represented by such a good cast of players and that the neighboring towns that will have the honor of witnessing the attraction can be assured of -6. first-class
amusement. In order to accommodate the many people who were unable to procure seats on the opening night the play will be presented again on March 3 at Central Music hall with some new features added ' to last night's bill. The Woodmen realized a handsome sum from last night's success, and the entire cast is to be complimented on their commendable showing. Following is the cast of characters: Ell Wheeler, who keeps the Corner Store Geo. Hersman Bud, his son, home from the city... John Knight Harvey Barton, Bud's cousin, a drummer W. H. Tuthill Jimspy Flannagan, recently landed, remarkably green .. .Marion Hoffman Otto Guckenheimer, Jayvllle's chief of police ...Tom Piatt

The Whiting Relief and Aid society
held a most enthusiastic meeting in the
public library on Tuesday evening.
The meeting, in addition to several
others, was attended by about all the
physicians in this city, as it was held
expressly for the purnose of discussing
hospital for Whiting. The question
was discussed from several different
standpoints, and the conclusion of it all was that a hospital jn Whiting is a
necessity. The present means of a
ong trip to a ChleagJ or to the Ham
mond hospitals does persons who are in need of medical attendance a great
injury. It was said that the hospital
need not be 'so large in size, but that
It must be the best in every way, and
one which would be a credit to our
city. It was thought the best way of providing nurses was to ahve sisters of the Catholic church, as they have
the reputation of being exceptionally fine
nurses. A committee, composed of Rev. John B. Berg of the Sacred Heart church. Rev. Fell Seroccynskl of the
Polish church and Rev.. Benedict Rajcany of the Slavish church, was ap
pointed to look up the sisterhood, with
a view to make a report on the re
sults as soon as possible, lhe ques-1
tion of funds for this purpose was
next discussed, and it was decided
that $20,000 was about the minimum sum for erecting a small hospital. A committee of G. J. Bader, C. D. Davidson and Rev. Feli Seroccynski were
then appointed to interview the corporations and business men in regard to raising the necessary amount. Another meeting will be held as soon as
these committees find it possible to make a report.
