DIGBY BELL
VIII Appear in 'eThe Hoosier Doctor
Next Tuesday,

Next Tuesday.
At the Crawford theater next Tues
day evening Digby Bell, supported by a
capable company, will appear in Au-
gustus Thomas comedy drama, 1.-The
Hoosier Doctor The piece will close
q very successful weeks engagement in
Kansas City tonight. The Des MOines
State Register of November 26 had the
following to say Of the actor and his
piece:
''The theater goers Of America have
another great artist to look up to, an
other Sol Smith Russell to grasp their
sympathetic heart strings and control
them with his Will, another true dis
ciple of all that is good and true on the
stage, another great actor whose name
shall increase in fame and popularity
and finally gain a. place in the perma-
nent history of the stage, and he is
none other than Digby Bell, who ap-
peared last evening at Fosters Opera
House in The HOOsier Doctor" Some
times we think that the stage is on the
down grade, that it does not teach the
lessons of life as it used to, that it
pays more attention to the bad than to
the good. but when a Sol Smith Russell
comes or Digby Bell comes, then all is
changed and We once more see that
desire he can make of a play a lesson IN
life that would help any man. We VEN
ture to say that no sermon will be
preached in a Des MOines pulpit to-
morrow that Will effect greater good
than did the comedy drama. 1.-THE Hoos-
Ter Doctor Every person who wit
messed that performance last evening
went home a better man or a better
woman. Would that there were more
Digby Bells and more plays of the
sort

MISSOURI PACIFIC RUMoRs.
Changes That May Happen on the
North Solomon Branch.

Downs, Dec. 1O.-There is some COM
motion here among the Missouri Pacific
people over the rumor that the post
office department contemplate hauling
off their postal car on the North Solo
mon branch of the Missouri Pacific be-
tween Downs and LenOra.
1t is not generally credited, however.
They think the company will put on 6
passenger service January 1 rather
than lose the mail service. The passen-
ger service was taken off this branch
with the close of the Worlds fair year,
and nothing but a mixed train has been
operated since then.
Nearly all the towns have made COM
plant and taken the matter before the
board of railroad commissioners, petit
tioning for better passenger and mail
service, but without avail.
