VIM. Owen In OtheilO.

The production of Othello to be given
at Royal Hall Oct. 10, will be the most
notable given by Mr.. Owen in Edgerton.
In the first place the play is one of the
most popular of all the Shakspearean
drama. It has probably been an in
SEPARATION to more great painters than
any incident in fiction. 1t is play that
every one can understand, for it deals
with the passion of jealousy, the passion
most common to the human breast. The
event will be all the more interesting to
Edgerton theatre goers because it will
be the means of introducing Mr.. Owen
for the first time in a Shakspearean play,
and as Shakespeare is Mr.. Owens spec
ialty No doubt everyone who is fond of
good acting will avail himself Of this OPP
portunity. In Othello he plays Iago, the
favorite part of the late Edwin Booth
and wherever the play has been produc-
ed the critics pronounce it one of Mr..
Owens best performances. The part is
one of the most subtle in all literature,
requiring the most delicate shading and
consummate art.
Mr.. Mcconnell who is so we'll remem-
bered for his magnificent acting each
time the Owen Company has visited Ed
gerton will be seen as Othello, the noble
Moor: In acting and in looks the press
everywhere calls him ideal. His bear
ing is that of the great general, and his
kpassion that of great nature torn by
jealousy. i The costumes and scenery are
all new and of the most gorgeous de-
scription. On the whole the play will
be- produced with an elaboraterness
never seen upon the Edgerton stage.
Seats will be on sale on Monday, Oct.
18th at Ash's.

another Free Delivery Route.

Congressman FL. B. DAZZLE and Senator
Welton, of Madison, who is now special
agent for the free delivery mail service,
was in town yesterday and drove out
over proposed rural free delivery route
running north from Edgerton out over
Albion Prairie to Amos and return by
way OF MELVILLE. A strong petition fav-
oring such a route was made to Con-
gresham DAZZLE some time ago and he
decided to make special investigation
of the line and personally talk with the
farmers asking for the service. Mr..
DAZZLE is convinced that the route ought
to be recommended and it is probable
that an order establishing the same will
soon be issued by the postoffice depart
ment.
