TWO VALUABLE
 HORSES BURNED
Handsome Pair of Iron GrayS Destroyed in Dyer'S Stable
THOUGHT TO HAVE ESCAPED
Charred Bodies Found in the Debris Early Yesterday Morning tic Animals Rushed Into the
 Flames and Perished

Two valuable horses were burned in the fire that destroyed the houses and stables of Thomas M. Dyer at the corner of Nine teenth street and Avenue c early yester day morning, although the discovery was not made until later in the day.
 In the stable were four fine horses, the property of MT. Dyer, all of which were thought to have been saved.
 When the fire was first discovered 1t had spread to the stables, and MT. Dyer made a desperate effort to rescue the animals and thought that he had succeeded in turn ing them out. His hands were severly burn ed in trying to break open the stable door and in the excitement it was thought that all four animals had gotten out, but it seems that only two of them escaped
 After the fire had subsided the charred remains of the two horses were found in the debris.
 The horses which were destroyed were handsome iron grays and were valued at s150 each.
 As is generally known it is very difficult matter to get horse out of a burning building, and it is supposed that the frantic animals, instead of coming out of the stable door, rushed into the flames and perished.

Ada Rehan's Engagement

The appearance of Ada Rehan at the Jef- ferson theater on March 30 in ''The Tanning of the Shew" will be one of the notable dramatic events of the season.
 William Winter, the veteran dramatic critic of the New York Tribune had this to say of Miss Rehan's return to the stage at Ford's opera house in Baltimore Monday evening, the 12th inst:
 ''One of the most important and most suspicious events of the dramatic year oc- cured last night in the return of Ada Re- han to the stage, after an absence of near ly year-consequent the death of her manager, the intrepid and ndomitable Au- gustin Daily, and the practical dissolution of his theater. with which she had been so long and so brilliantly associated Miss Re han appeared at Ford's opera house in Bal timore, beginning a tour of thirty-one cities that will extend till May 19. The opening piece was The School for Scandal and Miss Rehan, as Lady Teazle was welcomed with every mark of public favor. The re- turn of this noble actress is an augury of happiness to very large community for 1t means that one of the sweetest voices ever heard upon the stage will break silence that has lasted far too long, and that fine genius, conscientiously devoted to the service of all that is beautiful in literature and art will once more be exerted for the public good. Miss Rehans company in- cludes George Clarke, White Whittlesey Eugene Ormond, Wilfred Clarke, MT. liar bury Mabel Roebuck and others, and is in charge of MT.

Cedar Rapids is All Right

The democrats who attended the
state convention at Cedar Rapids last
Thursday, returned to their homes
more than pleased on account of the
hospitable manner In which they were
cared for by the beautiful city on the
Cedar. Everything that any place
could reasonably do for convention
was cheerfully done. A citizens re-
eeption committee, upwards of two
hundred strong, put aside their bust
ness and spent the day looking after
the convenience and pleasure of the
delegates. The press of the city, with
out regard to party, helped to make the
convention success. There were no
bitches or kicks about anything, and by
unanimous consent the democrats de-
clared Cedar Rapids all right.
