Grand Opera IIouse. THE GAME KEEPER.

"The Game Keeper" a new romantic Irish comedy drama which won imme- dlate triumph on its first production, will begin an engagement of three nights and Wednesday matinee at the Grand this evening Derry sDoolan, the game keeper, is the leading role of this play, and is in the hands of America s favorite singing and dancing comedian. Smith O'Brien, who for seven years starred in w H. Powers successful play, The Ivy Leaf" both plays from the pen of Con. T, Murphy. "Fhe Game Keeper is interwoven with divorce and characteristic threads of human inter- est. Some of the stage pictures DOT tray the life of the Irish aristocracy where high breeding and wealth are formed to entail the same poignant sor- rows as in the homes of the poor. Quite vein of comedy runs through the play; genuine humor of scene and character within the bounds which the mainly serious aims of the play necesistates runs a vein of rough and ready comedy. The company engaged is one of superior excellence.

Crops.

AT this time of the year, politics,
and all suburban literature should
be turned toward the farmer and
the gardener. While we have
nothing to offer the gardener, a
word with the farmer might do
good,
YOu are the nurse, treat your
land kindly and you never will re-
gret it.
1t is true you have conditions to
compare with, abandon them and
look forward to yoIr next crop.
How many farmers today are
holding their corn to meet next
years cropl In mingling with
pro and con we today have arrived
at the conclusion that nearly one
third of the cotton crop IS planted
aud that within ten more days the
entire crop will he in the field.
We conclude that the acreage to
be planted in cotton this year will
exceed that of last year by 20 per
cent. which will be an increase
over 1899 of about 33 1'3 per cent.
While the recent rains hsve
benefited the growing crop, it will
be of interest to show the follow
ing:
The rainfall since Oct. 8, 1900,
to date, is only ? IA inches. Pre-
vious seasons show that s 3-4
inches have been the usual rainfall
during this portion of the season
Corn as a rule is in a fue condi'
tion, in a few portions the bugs OF
lice are introducing themselves and
the farmers are scared.
Oats, generally considered, are
dead property.
Wheat is probably three fourths
killed, and today farmers are plant
ing cane and sowing millet on
what they call the diseased" land
Our advice is still on record
plant more corn and hogs.

BIG MINSTREL SHOW COMING.
Beach & Bowers Mammoth Minstrel
Show. at Great Bend, Monday. Sep
tember 9th.

A strictly high grade, clean, interest
decided novelty, and that is one of
the reasons why Beach & Bowers and
their big company play to the utmost
capacity of their big tent every night.
II is not the same old show; it is bigger
and better. Many familiar faces are
there, but few new ones are TO be
seen and their acts are strictly In
accordance with the general character
of the whole entertainment Bobby
Beach and Otis Bowers are of course,
the center of attra ction, and they are
as funny as ever. Gilbert Sarony,
one of the best known eastern vaude-
vile artists, is strong addition to the
company, as is the Elks' trio aud
Hazel and Smith, the musical team.
The big band and orchestra furnishes
splendid music. One of the most
pleasing features of long and varied
program is the performance of Bobby
Beach's troupe of trained dogs. They
interest old and young alike, and their
part of the program is all too short.
The cities between Ceder Rapids fand
the Pacific coast which will be favored
with visit from this great organiza-
ton will doubtless accord the old
favorites the patronage they SO richly
deserve. A few years ago 1T would
have been said that it was impossible
to give satisfactory minstrel show
under canvas. but Beach & Bowers
have surely accomplished the impossi-
BILE in manner that leaves no room
for criticism.

very moment it is not needed at

no one knows that the lights now
being putin are safe-for frequent
ly we read of gasoline explosions
and great damage. The very fact
that the larger cities use electric
or gas fight and do not use gaso-
line is the very best evidence that
they are preferable as to safety
and economy. Besides this, the
company furnishing onr lights pro-
pose to do much towards adding

looking after enterprises to use

TERMS ANNOUNCEMENT.
NOW WHAT DO YOU
THINK OF THIS7

In the Morning Herald OF Thurs
day an editorial says:
"Mr. Goebel was assassInated;
or he was killed in some acclden-
tai or unexplained manner. There
has been great doubt in the public
mind as to whether he was really
assassinated or whether his death
was the result of misadventure.
The innocent ought not to be
confonded with the guilty. The
guilty ought to be punished, no
matter who those guilty are. If
Mr.. Youtsey is not wreck; If he
is capable of proper and normal
mental action and is guilty, he
ought not to permit the innocent
to be punished, nor ought nc 10
permit the guilty to escape.
The tenor Of the article appears
to be to create a sympathy for Mr..
Youtscy, who had at the time Of
writing begun his life sentence
The writer evidently does not be-
lieve that Mr.. Goebel was killed
by accident. 1t may have been by
"misadyenture. "
We presume the public mind
is by this time thoroughly convin-
ced that the death was accomplish
ed by premeditated plot, in which
Youtsey, Powers, Howard and
Taylor nd others were parties.
