DO N OT FORGET
THE EAGLE SHOW
Committees in charge of the big
Eagle Show which will be staged at
the large Eagle hall on March 29th
are busy getting things in shape for
rehearsal of the show.
Manuscripts will be ready for the
different participants in the show
very soon and rehearsal will take
plaee immediately.
According to those who have had
the opportunity of reading over the
manuscripts of the play, the event
will be a knockout from the time
the curtain goes up until the "Skule
Marster” dismisses his classes.
The inevitable school committee,
which was always in evidence in the
old school days will be there to view
with pride or censure the progress
of the pupils of the “Deestrick
Some of Nome’s leading citizens
will take part in this show and those
who go as spectators will have a
chance to decide if any of our citi-;

the annals of stagedoni had their
vocation led them iVi that direction.
This is an event that will tax to
the utmost the ability of those in 1
charge and nothing is being spared j
to make it an event to bp remember
ed and talked of for years to cotpe.
Realizing that the pleasure seekers
of Nome are entitled to the best of
entertainment available, the com
mittee in charge are determined to
surprise even the most exacting
patron at this event Saturday March

Even the President refuses to ac

Daugherty says he will not resign
under a cloud of suspicion, but still,
it seems to us as though it would be
as bad to get KICKED OUT under
thp same cloud.
It seems that if the President has
been naughty, the horrid Senators
don’t care to let him apologize and
try again.
Sinclair is traveling in troupe now,
according to th? latest news. Trav

A little thing like a revolution or
an uprising does not bother Doheny.
He merely hands the head of the na

Bet that Jesse James thinks the
world is all wrong. His life was no
bed of roses trying to make an hon

there was no Teapot Dome daring

If Daugherty loses out in Wash

Worse things than that have happen
