complimentary entertainment, which prob

ed by an immense audience. The play was
splendid, considering that they were
amateurs, and did credit to our sister city.
They were greatly assisted by the beauti-

DR.. Nowotney has concluded to settle
among us again after all. He has bought

city yesterday purchasing fixtures and
stock for his business and he will be in full
blast IN few days. The doctor has travel.
ed considerable of late, has seen many
places that he liked, but, everything taken

his fist love, old Alexander county.
The street committee had meeting at
the council chamber last night. 1t was an
unusually long meeting and more work
was done than perhaps at any meeting for
years previous, and it was some important
work, too, relating principally to the side
walks and streets of the city. Among its
recommendations to the council tonight
will be the filling up Of Commercial avenue
above Twentieth street, to the grade now
established so as to have one street that
shall be high and dry clear out to the Cross
levee, at all seasons OF the year. The com
mlttee's recommendations of the commit
tee will doubtless all be concurred in by the
council.

The Theatre Comique stage is crowded
with some of the best variety talent this
week, for the especial accommodation of
amusement seekers on the 4th. J. Arthur
Doty the most perfect female lmpersonator
is there for another week; Miss Laura Lee,

audiences with her exquisite renditions;
Miss Rosa Hall is again on the boards in
new songs given in her inimitable and al
tractive manner; Baker and kellogg is
team Of musical prodigies, who produce
sweet melody from everything; Miss Lizzie
Shelton is sprightly little song and dance
artistic who appears her for the first time
and took the house by storm the first
night and last but not least we have the
Cummings, Dick aud Ida everybody
knows them and acknowledge their
ability as performers. The per

The Republicans OF Iowa, confident Of
their ability to carry the state against the
Democrats and the id Dutch, as they ex-
press it, have adopted prohibition plat

a prohibitory liquor law. The anti-liquor

their contest against saloons; that when the
party of Iowa pledged itself in
1870 to give the people at special non-par

the state as to prohibit the manufacture and
sale, as beverage, ofintoxicating liquors,
it acted in good faith, and the special cleo
ton of June 81, 1882, is an evidence of the
