RAILROAD BUILDING FROM
BELLE PLAINE..
IBelle Plains Union.
The plans for the construction of the
Iowa, Minnesota & North Western
road from this point to Mason city
have been definitely settled at last and
considerable change from original
plans has been made-sl change that
means much TO Belle PLANE.
Because of the overhead crossing over
the Illinois Central at Parkersburg and
the immense amount of work the grad
ing for that entails. it was first planned
to start the construction from this
point and build as far as Parkers burg.
the other section north of that place
to be built from Mason City, the mater
ials to be hauled there over the Iowa
Central.
1t was finally decided this week and
orders issued that the entire Mason
City-Belle Plaine section shall be built
from here and temporary grade cross
ing Will be put in a Parkersburg. TINS
will gain much time for the completion
of the road as after service is started
the heavy grading for the overhead
crossing will be rushed completion.
This means much to Belle Plaine for
every bit of material necessary TO con-
struct that l04 miles of line will be
handled here. 1t means chat during the
winter and early spring thousands of
car loads of material will be brought
here and turned over TO the construe-
ton gang.
Work is to commence in the spring as
soon as the ground is sufficiently dry
TO be workable with a shovel The
track Having machine which is being
housed during the winter at Mason City
will be brought here and put together
With no delays on account OF lack OF
material this remarkable machine can
Hay two and one half miles of track
Eevery ten hours and within fifty days
from the beginning of operations here
1.-THE work train Will have laid the maii
line from Belle PLANE TO Mason City
and opened upfor traffic what promises
to be the most valuable branch q thS
! Northwestern system.
The idea of winter track laying mas
been abandoned as it is necessary e
wait until dry weather before such
track can be surfaced and put in shape
! for service. Nearly as quick time WI
be made in the end with the plan as
now outlined and the results will pe
more satisfactory.

said Council would do nothing without

At THE THEATER.
Joseph Jefferson and His Company
In "The Rivals"


In "The Rivals"
Mr.. Joseph Jefferson, actor, scholar, gen.
tleman, was seen at the theater last night
in Sheridan's brilliant comedy, THE Ri
walls" The house was filed with an au-
dience such as it has not held since the
eminent actor was here three seasons ago.
Every part of the theater was crowded,
even the top gallery, adding eclat to the
occasion by the presence of ladies'. The
performance was such as theater-goers
will probably not have the opportunity of
enjoying again for a long time Mr.. JEFF
ferson was given a splendid reception,
which he evidently appreciated. When he
appeared in the first act he was greeted
with cordial and continued applause, and
bowed his acknowledgment. At the con-
clusion of the second act, after the COM
pany had responded to a call, he came
upon the stage and graciously thanked
the audience in a speech reminiscent of
his early days and those of the SaVan-
nah theater
The reception which this large and bril-
liant audience has given me and the CON-
pany" he said land the appreciation
you have shown, is a great pleasure to
me, and 1 thank you most sincerely. Your
applause has stirred peculiar emotions
within me and look back more than half
a century, when / first played within
these walls, of which you are doubtless
aware, is the Oldest theater in America.
There are probably among you" said
Mr.. Jefferson, those whose fathers and
mothers, and even whose grandfathers and
grandmothers have seen me act upon this
stage. l have seen Howell Cobb, Toombs
nd in adn
your ancestors, too" Mr.. jefferson add
ed have been entertained within these
walls by more renowned actors. Macready,
the elder Booth. the younger Booth, Fanny
Kemble and Charlotte Cushman. I am
glad TO be here again with my health re-
stored" Mr.. Jefferson added land it is
not strange that memories of The past,
in which the scenes of my earlier days
played so important a part, should cause
me TO feel emotions such as do not assist
the playing of a comedy.
Il thank you again" said Mr.. jefferson
"for your kind reception and in words
which are probably familiar to you, May
you live long and prosper
Next TO Rip Van Winkle. the character
of Bob Acres is the best which Mr.. JET
ferson is known by and i'm the minds OF
many it is not even second to that OF
Irving's play. The individuality and eX-
preston which Mr.. Jefferson mparts TO
Fighting Bob and his fine mannerisIas
are delightful. His personality is so
strong and magnetic and his acting SO
fine that he brings out every point in the
character and makes Il a portrayal that
an artistic finish is not excelled.
The Mrs. Malaprop OF Miss Ffolliott Pa
gel was admirable and the role was sp.en-
didly carried
"The Rivals" is rich in strong characters
and every role was carefully and finely
played. Two of Mr.. Jefferson's sons are
IN the company. Mr.. Joseph jefferson, Jr..
played Sir Lucius O'Trgger in a faultless
manner. and Mr.. W. w Jefferson was a
good Fag.
Mr.. George r. Nash as Sir An.
thony Absolute was vigorous and strong.
