ENTERTAIN 1T EMS.
Hyperion Theafer.

All the pomp and circumstance of war are to be found in the great revival of Bronson Towards Shenandoah" which Jacob Lit has made this season. Military experts have said that nothing like the battle scene at the end of the third act has ever been put upon the stage. It is a mimic representation of the battle of Cedar Creek, and so great is the realism that the audiences are carried completely off their feet. In this act there are no less than 200 people upon the stage, and fifty horses, which are carried with the company. Shenandoah" is doing the greatest business of any theatrical attraction in the country, in fact, the business is larger at the present time than it was in it's earlier years. Who says that the American people do not appreciate the works of their own dramatic authors? Shenandoah" comes to the Hyperion for one night only, March 10.
 The advance sale of seats begins on Thursday morning, March s, at the box office, Hyperion, for Maud Adams. who will present "The Little Minister" at the Hyperion on "Wednesday night, March If. Prices $1, $1.50.

MEETING AT THE GRAND.

Lesson Drawn from a Famous Picturex'
 A feature of the mems mass n1eetirR
 at the Grand opera house yesterday
 afternoon was the reproduction of Ho-
 vendon's famous picture, Breaking
 Home Ties" This picture presents the
 interior of lowly home in the country just as the young son Is leaving to
 make his home in the city. The first feature of the picture to catch the eve is the mother with her hands laid ten-
 derly and lovingly on the boys shoul-
 ders, and one almost listens for the
 words of counsel and guidance which we feel are coming from her lipsl
 Grouped around are the other members
 of the family, each face a reflection of
 the thoughts of their mind, the elder sister with an air of seeming compos-
 ure the younger sister gazing with |open mouth and open eyes wondering
 what it all means; the old grandmother sits with dubious air as to the ad-- visibility of his going, the older broth- CT perfectly nonchalant, and last, but not leaast, huge mastiff,, with a look
 of perplexity on his almost human face, and seeming to realize, even with his brute mind that he is going to lose a friend. Then the boy himself, with an expectant expression of his face, the tug at his heartstrings almost equalled by the eagerness with which he looks forward to his life in the city. Alex ander F. Irvine after speaking a few minutes upon the picture, gave an ad- dress upon the text Whose son art thu, young man?"
 These are the words of Saul to David after he slew Goliath, the giant with a common sling. MT. Irvine gave an interesting account of this old Bible scene, and laid emphasis upon David'a reply: ''I am the son of thy servant Jesse, the Bethlenlite.'
 Among the many things the speaker said was that it was infinitely more important that young man have pure blood than blue blood" We have too much twaddle about blue blood. What we want is pure blood. God wrote upon the brow of man the word "Labor'' and no man or woman can attain true success without laboring. He also told a very pathetic incident of Jamie the recreant son, returning to his old home to find his old mother, father and his sister all dead, which occurs in "A Window in Thonnis." G. Elmer Good- wins solo at the close, My Old Coun- try Home," was very appropriate to the sentiment of the afternoon. The meet ing next Sunday will be open to ladies. Mrs Ida B. Wells-Barnet, the talented negro agitator, will speak on Lynch Law in Georgia" Mrs. Barnet is a. talented woman and speaks with dra- matic power, being second only to Booker T. Washington as an agitator for law and order wheye her race is

The attraction at the Grand opera
 house, Monday Tuesday and Wednes-

 Hoppers' burlesque which comes di-
 rect from New York after a successful
 run. This company is composed of the
 best talent in the vaudeville and bur
 lesque line, and the olio is one of the
 strongest on the road Among the
 many are the we'll known New Haven
 favorites, Hastings and Wright. Har-
 ry Wright was Edward Harrigans
 partner after the retirement of Tony
 Hart, and played all his parts in all of
 Harrigan and Hart's productions. The clever and versatile pair, the Sis ters Demming, in coon songs and cake kalwing are far above the average seen in burlesque. The comedy Irish duo, McCale and Carew, are very funny couple and provoke roars of laughter in their slxit entitled The Irish Lord" The charming versatile trio, Agnes Miles Marie Henry, Nellie Lytton, in the latest songs of the day Punches of pretty girls as the Sousa girls, the models and salvation girls, the fuzzy Wuzzy dancers beautiful costumes, scenery and a singing chorus of twen- ty pretty, lively grass hoppers, all hop ping, makes the burlesque on "Naugh-, ty Anthony go like a cyclone, every thing bright, breezy and charming with the Grass Hoppers' burlesquers.

comes into bondage to that which at first he was able either to choose or to reject.
 The lesson is obvious A right spirit has to be entertained and respected; a right law must be obeyed The spirit of God is the one right spirit, and his law of love is the one law which, when obeyed, becomes in us law of liberty and eternal life. The heart that is sub jected to that discipline early and late will not be perverted, but will be con- verted to the way of peace and right eousness. From such the good spirit of God will never be driven away But that spirit and an evil spirit cannot dwell together peaceably in any heart.

also be steadfast, sincere Christians,
SO that none can say they do not "prac-
tice what they preach."
After anotherEhymn, the social de-
partment, under the leadership of
Rev. H. H. Birch, of Milford, held a
brief session, and their work was
along the same line followed by the
Lookout department, that of exchang-
ing suggestions, The main idea
brought out was that there should not
be too much levity in the social affairs
of the society, and to prevent, or,
rather, to counterfeit this, plan was
suggested that at any social function,
the president of the society, or the pas
tor of the church, state in few words
the primary object of the society, that
of saving souls. In a few words, the
work of the social committee should be
not SO much to have socials as to have
good social condition.

The praise service last evening preced-
ing the address by DR.. ]. Wilbur Chap
man, was conducted by DR.. Ezra New
comb, pastor of the First Presbyter-
ian church of Keoknk. The opera
house was crowded, many of those
present being compelled to stand thru
out the evening.
DR.. Chapman, formerly a resident
of Philadelphia, is at present pastor
OF the Eourth presbyterian church in
New York City. He is one of the
greatest quiet hour leaders and evan

er to Ottunwa Endeavorers, having
conducted one of the most successful
revival meetings ever held in the city,
six years ago, which date marks the
beginning of the Christian life of
more than one consecrated soul.
One of the most pleasant features of
the recent visit of DR.. Chapman to OF
tun1wa was the meeting of these
Christian men and women, who thank
him for his manner of presenting
Gods truths so that they were brought
to a full realization of them.
DR.. Chapman, in his opening re-
marks last evening, said that he had
refused number Of invitations to
state conventions in western states
this fall, but when his friends in OF
tunwa asked him to come out and
speak to them, he did not have any
,hesitancy, nor feel that any duty was
SO binding that he could not leave it
