1
"The Bat," the most successful play
of its kind ever produced, and written
'*, . bjr^Jtfary Roberts Rinehart and Avery
Hopwood, will be presented at the
Columbia theatre on Wednesday and
v- Thursday, October 12-13. This is an
|v event in the theatre. Tf you doubt it
just remember that "The Bat' has
been playing for more than fc. year in
New-York (and it is still ^fciere):
played for one solid year in Chicago!
and has been the outstanding success
tot all dramatic plays in both cities.
w ^"The Bat" has been variously deP'r
scribed by critics. Some have reI
iferred to it as a "dramatic smash."
\V: 14 13 Others have called it "the play
g - of a century." That is not exagger-1
* . ?. I
ation. lis rewxu ?i->can.? j.vx ,-it.
jv 'Without resorting to superlatives,
^ however, "The Bat" may be described
ue ns a thrilling dramatic play in which
the suspense is sustained from
cnrtain to curtain and running
through which there is one
Pof the. most delightfully funny
< characters ever' introduced on the
stage. It is 100 per cent entertain<.
' ment and its best advertisement is
wha^ those who have seen it, have to
1/ say about it.
No attempt will be made here nor
t in any other advance notice of "The
Baf*' to tell the story of the play. As
a matter of 'fact "The Bat" is one
? . play?and perhaps the only one?of
which the story is never told. From
v the\ night it first opened, its authors
|-v and managers, the Messrs. Wagenhals
and Kemper have made it a point
I to ask both critics and public alike to
refrain from telling the story of the
played in New York and acted by a
I is known, who has broken faith.
Suffice to say, "The Bat" comes
| here, staged exactly as it is being
played in New Rork and acted by a
company of rare excellence which infcludes;
Lizzie Evans, William L.
Thorn, Lucille Morris, Josephine
Morse, Joseph M. Holicky, Arthur
Hughes, Edward Pawley, Paul Huber,
;v George A. Wilson, and Bernard
Thornton.

DEATH OF LITTLE BOY
Walter Allen Caughman, three
year old son of Dr. and
Mrs. W. E. Caughman, Dutch Fork,
died at 11:30 o'clock last night at the
home of his grandparents, Mr. and
Mrs. J. B. O. Caughman, 3516 Main
street, Eau Claire, after an illness of
three weeks. Funeral services will be
held at the grandparents' residence
at 4 o'clock this afternoon, interment
to be in Elmwood ceinetery.
Th? little boy was visiting his
grandparents when he was taken ill.
A bright, attractive child, he was
loved by a large circle of the family's
friends and they join with the family
in' mourning his death.?State. Oct.
He Had a Lot of Sense.
There was an old geezer and he
had a lot of sense. He started up a
business on a dollar eighty cents. The
dollar for stock and th?e eighty cents
lor an ad brought him three dollars
in a day, by dad.
Well, he bought more goods and a
little more space, and he played that
system with a smile on his face.
The customers flocked to his twoby-four
and soon he had to hustle for I
a regular store. Up on the square J
where the people pass, he gobbled up
a corner that was all plate glass. He
fixed up the windows with the. best
that he had ,and told them all about
i* in a half-page ad.
Soon he had 'em coming and he
never, never quit, and he wouldn't cut
down on his ads one jit. And he's
kept things humming in the town
ever since and everybody calls him
the Merchant Prince.
Some say it's luck, but that's all
bunk?why he was doing business
when the times were punk!
People had to purchase and C.eezer
was wise?for he knew the way to
get 'em was to advertise.?IS. F.

case to institutions where those having
sight are receiving advanced education.

have entered such institutions are provided
with special text-books In

taught at the Red Cross Institute.
Twelve men have passed from the
Institute to'successfully carry on some
occupation or business for which they
were fitted by special training. A few
have withdrawn from the Institute because
of poor physical condition, 14 are
receiving further "training on the
lob" and 87 are still in training.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cuied
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
Catarrhal Deafness requires constitutional
treatment. HALL'S CATARRH
MEDICINE is a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result. Unless
the inflammation can be reduced, your
hearing may be destroyed forever.
HALL'S CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the blood on the mucous surfaces
of the system, thus reducing the inflammation
and restoring normal conditions.
