The only dramatic event of importance
since the close of the Lenten season will
be the appearance of Mane Wainwright
at the Grand Opera House next week.
Miss Wainwright will present four plays,
in all of which she will be new to our au-
dience, and which will give abundant
scope for the display of her varied and
versatile powers. The repertoire is thus
arranged: Monday, Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday evenings and at the
Saturday matinee, "An Unequal Match,"
a brilliant comedy by the author of "The
Ticket-of-Leave-Man," at the "popular
price" (50 and 25 cents). Wedneday mati-
nee Miss Wainwright will appear for the
only time as Camille; Friday, "Frou
Frou," one of the best of modern French
plays; Saturday evening, Augustin Daly's
dramatization of Wilkie Collins' wonde-
fully exciting and absorbing story, "Man
and Wife."
At the Single Tax League Monday
night, O. T. Erickson read an editorial
from the Chicago Inter-Ocean entitled
"Henry George and His Vagaries," after-
wards criticising the same. Mr. Erick-
son claimed that the writer of the edi-
torial had dodged the question. The
question was: Is it right for the com-
munity to take ground rents? From a
single taxer's point of view, it is, since
the community produces ground rents.
A general discussion of the single tax
followed the reading of the editorial.
One member favored the using of the
figures to be found in the assessor's
office. This speaker called to the atten-
tion of the members of the league that,
in this state, land is assessed separately
from improvements. "Anyone, there-
fore," concluded the speaker, "can see for
himself what the difference would be be-
tween the present system of taxation and
the single tax."
The seventh annual convention of the
sheriffs of the state of Minnesota met in
Sheriff Ege's office Wednesday afternoon
There were about 30 counties repre-
sented. The paper by John Fitzgerald,
superintendant of the St. Paul work-
house, which was read before the second
state conference of charities, was circu-
lated among the sheriffs. The meeting
was called to order in one of the court
rooms and officers for the ensuing year
were selected. Among those present
were Sheriffs Ege and Swenson, of Hen-
nepin county; Secretary Hart, of St. Paul;
J. F. Gale, of Winona county; J. H.
Block, of Nicollet; James Lowe, Jr., of
Murray; G. H. Munro, of Stevens; W.
W. Barlow, of Cottonwood; G W. Man-
ard, of Todd; A. Marty, of Washington;
M. J. Glynn, of Blue Earth; Charles
Andrews, of Chisago; T. M. Marity, of
Polk county, Wis.; A. Grundysen, of
Polk; L. M. Jensvold, Yellow Medicine;
J. Z. Barnard, of Steele; George W. For-
sythe, of Watonwan; J. E. Getman, of
Dodge; C. N. Stewart, of Rice; J. C.
Thom, of Nobles; S. L. Weimerskirch, of
Wabasha; William Wickman, of Renville;
and Sheriff Anderson, of Goodhue.
The new stock company at the Peoples
Theatre is a dramatic sensation. Man-
ager Sterling has gone to the far east, to
the south and to the western slope for
the members of his company, and has se-
cured a company of twenty people whose
dressing, appearance and ability are wor-
thy of the highest praise. The male
members of the company are especially
clever, their dressy appearance and abil-
ity would be a subject of commendation
in a New York production, and Miss
Bradley's costumes are both rich and
handsome besides being of the most re-
cent fashion. This afternoon in "Lyn-
wood," she wears four costumes, which
entirely outshine anything seen here re-
cently, and in this strong military piece
Mr. Morris appears to greater advantage
than he did in the part of Lieutenant
Hawkesworth in "The Girl I Left Behind
Me" which he created with Frohman's
Empire Stock Company in New York.
The play of "Lynwood," with its bright
uniforms, airy comedy and strong dra-
matic situations is eminently adapted to
his methods and the passionate scenes
running through it will give Mr. Morris
a chance to demonstrate how great an
artist he is. The company will also con-
tain John J. Collins and Frank Jamison,
who have not yet appeared.
The Minneapolis Trust Company re-
ceiver of the Northwestern Guaranty
Loan Company, has brought suit against
the Minneapolis Realty Company and
Albert Hastings, the assignee. The plain-
tiff demands judgment, that all lands
