A Worthy Production.

An audience that packed the Grand
opera house from parquet to gallery
witnessed the production of Browns
in Town" on Saturday evening, and it
has been seldom that the patrons of
this theatre have been so universally
pleased with an attraction as with this
one. On account of the cancelling of
"The Little Minister" the house had
been closed for about month, and all
its patrons were enthusiastic in their
reception of the different members of
this company. We will not particular
ize, but simply state that the show
was devoid of those stale features
which are generally seen in performan-
ces of this character. 1t was in fact a
clean, sparkling fountain of mirth and
laughter from beginning to end. To
say that it will be cordially welcomed
on return date is unnecessary.

NJ. E. Church to be Remod elled.

Plans are being drawn by Architect
Bucknell for the remodeling of the
First NJ. E. church, and in all proba-
bility the Methodists of Decorah will
in the near future have an edifice
which which will be greatly improved
in interior appearance and convenience.
The plans call for the removal of the
small lecture room near the entrance,
and the erection of partition reach
ing to the ceiling, which will enclose a
space of twenty-five feet at the west
end ofthe church. The lower floor of
this part will be used as lecture
room, and will be so arranged by slid
ing doors that it can be thrown open
and used as an audience room together
with the church proper. The second
floor will be used for class rooms,
kitchen, etc. The walls and ceiling of
the Ell tire church will also be frescoed.

Great Actor Coming.

To have seen Charles Coghlan act
Is in itself distinction. He is one of
the great actors of the day. His work
is talked about and discussed by the
leading critics in the leading periodi-
calls of the English language. His
position is assured. He has acted con-
tinuously in New York City for the
past five years. This is his first trip
out or the cities and it is actuated by
his desire to acquaint himself with this
great west of ours. The opportunity of
seeing him outside of New York city
will probably never occur again, and it
should not be neglected. We guaran-
tee the production to be the same
exactly as at the theatre in New York.
The seats are on sale now at Neuferts,
prices so, 70 and $l.00. Book the date,
Dec. lst, 1899.

Where Do you Live?

This question is an important one.
AS the stranger drives through the
country it would be interesting and
restful to the traveller to see in front of
each farm house neat signboard with
the farmers name in plain letters,
large enough to be read by passers-by.
Who will be the first in each school
district to put up one, and the rest
will follow. l live In Gastown and Mr..
Trump lives between Gastown and
Whistleburg. Now, if Mr.. Trump
would place his name on post in
front of his house, l would not trouble
all of the people from Gastown to
Whistleburg to find where Mr.. Trump
lives. ~

A STRANGE CHARACTER.
Alma Henderson Arrested for Petty
Thievery, But Believed to be Insane.

The most notable figure i'm police
circles during the past week, and a
queer character inded, is Miss Alma
Henderson, alias Mary Thompson,
alias Mary Knudtson, who now rests
in the county bastile for petty thievery.
A young woman attended school here
in the fall, who gave her name at the
school as Mary Knudtson, and at her
boarding place as Mary Thompson.
About seven weeks ago she departed,
without notifying anyone that she was
going or of her future intentions. She
had been acting very peculiar while in
school and some suspicious as to her
were caused from ner actions. On
Saturday night woman, who after
wards proved to be this same person,
entered number of houses in DecOrah,
and relieved some of our people of ar
ticles of wearing apparel, etc. These
on Sunday she buried o. Pleasant Hill,
where she was discovered that after
noon, and officers notified, whoarrested
her and placed her in Jail A man was
also seen going to her on Pleasant Hill
on Sunday but he has not as yet been
apprehended. She carried on her per-
son a photo of a young man, which she
tore to pieces when she was searched.
On Monday afternoon she was given
hearing before Justice Gibson, who
concurred in the opinion of others, that
she was of unsound mind, and she was
remanded to Jail, to await further
action. She gave her name to the
officers as Alma Henderson.

The movement for the popular elec-
ton of United States senators Is NOV
ing slowly, but it is surely moving. At
its last session the legislature of Penn
sylvania authorized the appointment
of committee Of two senators and
three representatives to confer with

view to bringing about the submission
Of an amendment to the federal consti-
tuition for the election of senator's and
also of president and vice president by
popular vote. This committee has just
held a meeting In Philadelphia, at
which 1t was announced that communi-
cations have been received from the
secretaries Of state of every state in
the Union except Arkansas and that in
the western states particularly there is
strong feeling In favor of electing
United States senators by popular vote.
1t was decided to ask other states to
send representatives to a conference to
be held next spring with the view of
adopting uniform plan Of procedure.
Where Is unquestionably strong senti-
ment throughout the country in favor
Of the election of United States SEN
ators directly by the people. and the
plan suggested In Pennsylvania seems
likely to concentrate this sentiment in
to an extremely effective force.

The Hen and the Editor.

A hen sets on her nest and lays eggs.
An editor sits on his office chair and
lies in his bed--or in his paper. The
hen Feathers her nest" the editor
does not-he cuts his own throat by
doing business for nothing simply to
keep his competitor from getting it.
The hen cackles after she has laid q
good, fresh egg; the editor cackles
about what he intends to do, out
seldom does it. Sensible hen. The
hen scratches for her iif-pg, So Dc.
the editor The hen often covers up
bad eggs; so does the editor. The hen
matches chickens that come to some
good; the editor matches schemes that
never amount to anything. The hen
presents her bill when she wants
something, and usually gets it,! the
editor presents his bill, and hardly
ever gets anything. The hen has
comb which she doesn't use; the editor
may have comb and use it some-
times, but not always. The hen has
wings; the editor has none and never
will have. The hen isn't high flyer;
the editor is sometimes. The hen
broods and raises large family; the
editor broods over how he is going to
raise the large family he already has.
as well as over wasted energies and
lost opportunities. The hen is a
rooster when see sleeps that's queer;
the editor is a queer rooster all the
time. The hen often gets cooped; the
editor gets (s)cooped, too, sometimes.
The hen often gets it in the neck; so
does the editor. Sometimes the hen
crows, but why nobody knows; the
editor crows almost all the time-but
no one ever knows why. There may
be other similarities and dissimilarities
between the hen and the editor, but
they do not come to mind just now

Having given live naval hero ire
mendous ovation, 1t is now proposed to
tender a national reception to a dead
naval hero and build a monument to
his memory. After much search the
resting place of the remains Of John
Paul Jones has been found, and 1t is
suggested that they be removed to this
nation and becomlngly inferred. Jones
was one of the greatest naval fighters
and no doubt naturally advanced the
cause of the struggling young republic.
He was fighter at time when per-

brilliant. 1t is eminently proper that
his remains should rest In the soil of

A Practical Proclamation.

In his Thanksgiving proclamation
Governor Rollins of New Hampshire
has again manifested his ability to get
something else than formal and empty
phrase in his official utterances. 1t in
dicates that what is known as the old
New England Thanksgiving spirit sur
wives in all it's strength in the heart
and mind of the Granite State govern
or. 1t is so much out of the common
run of such documents, which are or
dinarily perfunctory and more or less
stilted, and is so practical and full Of
wholesome advice that it is worth the
perusal of people other than those to
whom it is especially addressed.
"Let special effort be made" he
writes, ito call home our dear ones for
the observance of this beautiful Gus
tom. and let family reunions be held
around all our hearthstones. Let the
morning Of this glad day be devoted to
services Of praise and thanksgiving for
the bounteousness of the harvests and
our general prosperity and the after
noon to deeds Of brotherly kindness
and loving charity, visiting the sick
and needy. sending flowers and deli
cacies to the hospitals and bringing the
joyousness of the day to the inmates of
our charitable and reformatory institu-
'tions. Give back the upward looking
and the light to some sorrowing soul,
rebuild it in the music and the Dream
even If it be but for day."
The most striking part Of the procla-
nation is the following: "Let the even
ing be devoted to the children, who al
ways seem so much nearer to God than
we older ones. Make merry in the good
old ways. Roll back the burden of the
years. A day thus spent will not only
be loving service to God, but bless
ing to others and benediction to our
selves"
Are there not here some suggestions
which, If followed, would cause the
day to be more truly one of thanks
giving and thankfulness than we are
sometimes wont to make it?
