A Raid Executed on the Shows Demon
i1ing Paper
Then the blood of the crusaders began
to boil When the committee reported
the stubborn ways Of the officers an elder
ly woman advised a personal attack on
the members of the Gaiety company,
while another counseled moderation, sug-
costing that the Gaie,y girls be appealed
TO to refuse to appear on the boards.
While the matter was being discussed an
other woman suggested that, even il the
performance conld not be prevented, at
least those degrading posters and litho-
graphs could be destroyed and public dis
approval of the show so loudly expressed
that self-respecting men would not dare
enter the opera house.
Attendants To Be Boycotted-
This sentiment was loudly applauded,
and, while q committee was drawing p
resolutions warning every man who at
tended the performances that he would be
declared a social outcast, another group
resolved themselves into a committee to
devise ways and means to destroy the OBJ
noxious pictures. Tuesday evening a group
of women armed with rakes, pitchforks
and hatchets started out on their mission

weapons and fierce determination, APP

the stores and shops on the business
streets, and without ceremony tore from
their fastenings the pIetty Autographs
that adorned the show windows and
trampled them under foot. A mob, yell

who soiled their dresses and lost their
tempers before the work was ended.
Advertised the Entertainments.
Scores Of persons who had not given a
thought to the performances were
prompted to investigate the wickedness of
the Gaiety show, and a large audience was
the result. The show was a good one, and
the attenance last night was even larger
than that Of the night previous. The
crusade has been noised about throughout
this section, and many persons came in
yesterday from Severance, Leona, Robin

booked for series of performances here
When the advance agent came along last
week and secured dates at the Opera
house there were murmurings Of disap
proval from certain people.
Those Wicked Show Bills
The editors of The Democrat and World
secured advertising cards at high rates
and inserted editorial Dotices and local
paragraphs calling attention to the ag-
gregation of beauty, grace and perfection
usually claimed for the members OF a
burlesque show. This was bad enough.
The good people of the town murmured
against this invasion. But it was when
the wicked billposter came along and pla-
carded the town that the murmur became
roar. Such wicked, shameless pictures
never before were paraded to bring a
blush to Hiawatha's fair fame.
The Women Get Together.
Then it was that the women of the town
began to consider the affair seriously.
There was an informal gathering OF cru
ssders against wicked show bills at the
residence of one of the leading society
ladies of the town. All were church MEM
bers and after prayerful consideration of
the matter it was determined to prevent
the performance at any cost. The youth
aud the middle aged and the elderly MEM
bers of the male populace, it was argued,
must be saved from contamination. The
few male confidarts of the crusaders conn
seled legal measures, urging the woman
to appeal to the mayor and police to pre-
vent the performance.
City Officials Subsidized.
The plan was not favorably looked
upon at first, but finally it was decided to
make this concession TO orderly methods,
and committee was appointed to influ-
ence the city officials. The committee
went to the court house, saw the officials,
and came away without getting any con-
cessions. The agent had paid his license,
the city was billed, the performance adj
vertised, and any arbitrary action on the
part of the officials meant a lawsuit
against the city aud more trouble than a
little. Besides, it is suspected that the
officials were rather anxious to see the
show, as it is the custom of most advance
agents to make themselves good neigh.

complimentary tickets.

Of length OF course. The distance Is now one and

Is not CONSIDERED likely however that the distance VIII
be further cut down. When the present course was
| adopted 1t was reduction Of one-half OF the then
prevalent standard, three miles with turn The
argument with the founders of the association was
"pace, not distance" and they made It a mile and
half straightaway IL Is moe than possible however
that the course Will be changed to a mile and half
with turn that the spectators may see both start
and finish. President Garfield has expressed the opn-
lon that such a change would be popular with the
public and not necessarily Objectionable to the oars

cases an exception would probably have to be made
