Hyperion Theater. THE HIGHWAYMAN" TO-MOR
ROW AFTERNOON.

ROW AFTERNOON.
 A good attraction will be the Broad way Theater Opera company in "The Highwayman" at the Hyperion to-mor- row afternoon. AS the opera will stay until the close of the season at the
 Broadway theater, New York, an even- ing performance here would be out of the question, and MT. G. B. Bunnell very happily arranged for special matinee performance for tomorrow. The matinee will begin at 1:3O o'clock sharp. The entire organization will be here, without exception the same cast
 that was seen at the Hyperion on the opening night, October 21, including
 FIilda Clark, Joseph O'Mara, Jerome Sykes. Nellie Braggins, Maud Williams, Van Rensselaer, Wheeler and Harry Macdonough.
 The company comes by special train, consisting of two baggage cars, two coaches and a dining car for the ex- elusive use of the members of the com pany, who will lunch and dine on the journey to and fro. Carriages will be | in waiting at the depot and the com | pany will go at once to the Hyperion
 and have everything ready for the matinee performance at 1:30 o'clock. l The scenery and accessories used in | the Broadway theater will be sent here
 on an early train and will be put in place immediately on arrival.
 l Mr G. B. BunneI on this special oc- casion will, out of compliment to MT.
 A. A. Mccormick and the Broadway Theater Opera company. make an ex- ception from the general rule observed
 on the departure of a company at the
 close of their engagement at the Fly perion, and will invite the members of
 the company to pass through the front

Arthur Dunn is a diminutive imp of fun. He has a mischievous way of compelling laughter even among the most solemn of audiences. Last night. when he made his bow at the Won- derland he had no solemn visages to meet, for all was a grin of anticipation Dunn and his sister presented their new sketch "The Actress and the Bell Boy" with great success. Their work is capital, at the same time refined and artistic. The supporting bill is g very good one. It includes the Bagga- sens, T. Nelson Downs, the Donovans, Snyder and Buckley, J. F.

 The advance sale of seats opened we'll and there were lively times in the Hyperion box office yesterday to sup ply the demand for seats. A number of orders from out of town have also been received, which shows that this extraordinary event has caused "The Highwayman' to be much sought for attraction.
 There are still good seats to be had, and those who purpose attending the performance would be wise to secure seats in advance and escape the rush at the box office. It must be cheering, indeed, to MT. Bunnell to see how his efforts to bring all that is good and at- fractions for his patrons to the Hype- rion have been appreciated. Sale of seats now open.

Latest About War.

Are we at peace with the world or at
war with Spain? was anxiously asked by
our citizens last evening who thought
congress might follow the presidents
message with war declaration. Word
this morning is that the message was
withheld yesterday, the president saying
word from Consul General Lee counsel
ling it because of violence being feared
against Americans in Cuba. 1t will take
few days to get our people all away
from there. Newspaper dispatches in
dictate there was another great reason
for holding back the message, that being
that the Queen and Sagasta are prepar-
ing to recede from their position and
grant what this government demands
for Cuba.
The disappointment in Congress be-
cause the message did not appear yes.
terday was intense. Congress wanted
to take radical action. There is con-
siderable of the same feeling over the
country. If it was not that the great
est confidence is had in the ability and
the loyalty of the president congress
would doubtless take the reins in their
own hands. All must admit, however,
that il our government can win what we
want by peaceful negotiations it will be
a greater victory than if won by war,
and at an infinitely less cost. But we
hope and believe two things will never
be lost sight Of by the president and by
congress, that Cuba must be free from
Spain and allowed to govern herself,
and that the destruction of the Maine
must be fully atoned for.

Ii. M. Rebok and Representative
Jackson, of Tama county, are guaran-
teed, so newspaper reports say, $4,000
by the democratic members of the leg
islature and by the democratic state
central committee, to put in Il new free
silver democratic daily paper at Des
Moines. The democratic legislators
have been pounding the Leader all
winter for not being more favorable to
free silver. Now they are making
good their threats. They will stand II
good show of blowing in some money.
Nothing can eat up money much faster
than daily newspaper that hasn't the
. business patronage to sustain it. 1t is
all right for legislators and other re.
nowned gentlemen who are short on
newspaper experience and long on cash
to buy newspaper experience even if it
comes high. We fail to see any room
for another good daily in Des Moines.
But then the radical free silver men
want state organ and are evidently
willing to pay for it. We remember
Gen. Weaver, Gillette and the green
hackers had to have an organ of their
own at Des Moines once, but they had
to pay well for having it and so 'did
some of the friends of their cause. The
paper that fights prosperity and mag
nifes calamity doesn't usually build
up much business for itself

The session of the legislature just
closed was business body and we
think in most ways enacted wholesome
legislation. The board of control bill
is the most important single piece of
legislation enacted in Iowa for many
years. We think it will prove bene-
fetal both from the standpoint of
efficiency of the institutions and of
economy to the tax payers. The enact
ment of the Temple amendment is
another important move. The act
authorizing the practice of osteopathy
in the state is surely mistake. The
passage of the two joint resolutions
submitting constitutional amendments
is of much interest. The first amend
ment provides for one member of the
lower house of the legislature for each
county and one additional for those
having a population over the ratio
derived from dividing the total popu-
lation of the state by the number of
counties. The amendment is favorable
to the people in the west and north of
the state and is justice to the newer
counties. 1t will be submitted next
fall. The other amendment will 60 to
the next legislature and if it passes
there it will go to the people the fall of
1900. 1t provides for biennial elections.
We are inclined to think both amend
ments should be adopted.

Stranger than Fiction.

The Gentleman gives currency to a remarkable but well-authenticated story which shows-what most people are supposed to know already-that truth is stranger than fiction.
 Some years ago the cashier of Liv- erpoOl merchant received a Bank of England note, which he held up to the light to make sure it was genuine In so doing he noticed some very indistinct red marks, as if words had been traced on the front of the note and on the margin, and out of curiosity he tried to decipher them. At length he made out the following sentence:
 If this note should fall into the hands of John Dean of Longhihmar, he will learn thereby that his brother Is Ian. gushing prisoner in Algiers."
 MT. Dean, on being shown the note, lest no time in asking the Government for assistance, and finally secured the freedom of his brother, on payment of a ransom to the Bey. The unfortunate man had been a prisoner for eleven years, and had traced, with a piece of wood for pen and his own blood for ink, the message on the banknote, in the hope of its being seen sooner or later.

Atlantic Currents.

It is an interesting fact in the records
 of scientific progress that the United
 States navy has for long time past
 been dropping bottles overheard in the
 Atlantic ocean at the Azores, in deep
 water along the coast of Spain and from the Madeira and the Canaries south ward along the coast of Africa. The fact that all these bottles that have been recovered have been found on the coast of South America, on the Antil- les, and some of them as far west as the mouth of the Rio Grande, suggests the inference that every buoyant object which has been dropped into the ocean during the present geological epoch by prehistoric or historic Spaniards, Por- tuguese or Africans has found its way to America and been stranded some where between the tenth parallel south and the thirtieth parallel north. In the northern part of the Atlantic ocean the currents run the other way, and the mails have been delivered from Ameri- ca to Europe. In the Pacific ocean the daily mails delivered on the west coast of America from Mount St. Elias south ward have proceeded from about the twentieth parallel north, i'll the vicini- ty of the Malay peninsula and archipel- ago, thence have travelled through the China sea and the Japanese sea to pick up matters designed for the western hemisphere

An Ancodote by Mark Twain.

Mark Twain writes for the Century a tribute to his fellowtownsman, the late James Hammond Trumbull. MT. Clemens relates the following anec- dote:
 Years ago, as I have been told, a widowed descendant of the Audubon family, in desperate need, sold per feet CODY of Audubon's Birds to a commercially minded scholar In Amer lea for a hundred dollars. The book was worth thousand in the market. The scholar complimented himself up on his shrewd stroke of business. That was not Hammond TrumbulPs style. After the war l.-dy In the far South wrote him that among the wreckage or her better days she had a book which some had told her was worth a hundred dollars, and had advised her to offer 1t to him; she added that she was very poor, and that if he would buy it at that price, it would be a great favor to her. It was Eliots h. dian Bible. Trumbull answered that if it was perfect copy it had an estab- lished market value, like gold coin, and was worth a thousand dollars; that if she would send it to him be would examine it, and if it proved to be perfect he would sell 1t to the Brit ish Museum and forward the money to Hur.

Aluminium Wire,

Aluminium wire is made of various sizes and used for variety of purposes. Among it's newer uses is the manufac- ture of door and window screens. When exposed to the weather, such screens do not rust Aluminium wire is used in the manufacture of hairpins. In a few cases in this city aluminium wire has been sold to be put up on roofs for use as clotheslines. The wire sold for this purpose was No. 6 gauge, which costs 50 cents a pound, and 1000 feet of which weighs 24 pounds.
 Aluminium pigs sell now at about 42 cents pound, which is about half the price of year ago. The sale of manu factured articles of aluminium is all the time increasing and things in great va riety are made from it-New York Sun
