"A Stranger in a Strange Land

IA Stranger in Strange Land" f"
the new AngiO-American comedy
which appears at the Grand next Fri
day night, March 18th, was the farcical
success at the Manhattan Theatre, New
York, last season, and the cast that
presents it in this city is of ofitselfalmost
sure guarantee of delightful entertain
ment. ga Stranger in Strange Land
is from the pen of Sidney Wilmer and
Walter Vincent. 1t is the story of a
young Englishman, who, being sent to
America in the hopes that trip abroad
might settle him, returns home and
launches into an ocean of lying with a
view of deceiving his relatives as to his
conduct abroad. The authors have
seized upon this pretext to illustrate
the fashion of English people, as well
as other foreigners, of getting our geog-
raphy mixed up, often locating Omaha
just back of Harlem. The situations
are said to be very funny, the climaxes
unctuous in their humor and happy in
tableaux. Altogether this promises to
be one of the dramatic treats of the
season.

A Fine Attraction.

An attraction of exceptional merit Is
promised to the patrons of the Grand
Opera House next Friday night in the
coming of "a Stranger in Strange
Land" the farce written by Sidney
Wilmer and Walter Vincent. This is
the same farce that kept New York in
good humor at the Manhattan Theatre
for ten weeks last season, this being its
first representation in this city. 1t is
said an excellent cast will interpret the
various characters while the same mag
nificent equipment and environment
that characterized the Metropolitan
production will be placed upon the
stage here. The play is said to be one
great laugh from the very beginning.
1t tells of the American Indian and
shows what funny complications can
arise when the counterfeit article en-
counters the simon-pure. The cast in
cludes William Friend, Chrs. Drake,
f. j. Mack, Jos. Cusak, Chas, Lum,
Frank German, Chas. Deland, Beatrice
Norman, May Anderson, Estella Will
mott and Otillie DeLano. The play is
spoken of as being on the same order
as "My Friend from india" "What
Happened to Jones" and "Why Smith
Left Home" Seats on sale; Soc, soc,

A PrisewOrthy Production.

The production of "Richelieu" at
the Grand last Thursday evening by
VIM. Owen and his popular company
was we'll attended and was deserving
of all the praise bestowed upon it. Mr..
Owen as the crafty Cardinal Richelieu
was at his best, and was given the best
of support by Mr.. j. w. Mcconnell,
Miss Reynolds and the other members
of the company. The costumipg and
stage settings were particularly beau
tiful, and all who were presen. enjoyed
an evening of rare entertainment. This
was Mr.. Owens third or fourth visit 20
Decorah, and he is more popular than
ever. The orchestra music was of a
high order, and especially the violin
solo by Prof. Max Gmelin, which was
enthusiastically applauded.

ABE'S WEEKLY LETTER
AN INTERESTING ONE AS USUAL
Some Reasons Why Farmers Move to
Town, and Thoughts on the
Old Farm.

The great number of farmers moving
into town in the last few years proves
one thing-that they had met prosper
ity long before McKinley's administra-
ton existed. The reasons for their
moving in are best known to them
selves, but many could probably be
given without missing the mark very
much. Doubtless there are many who
want to be near churches, schools,
stores, entertainments, etc; some who
want to take needed rest from work;
but in some instances all these attrac-
tions do not satisfy and might be COM
pared to man who has chewed tobacco
for so years, quitting it and going to
chewing gum.
1t is not strange that those who for
40 years or more have lived on the
same farm, bought probably at from
one and quarter to five dollars an
acre, should have an almost uncontrol-
liable longing for I'the old home"
There the young man and his bride
first started in life; there their children
were born, and near by is.the cemetery
where the old father and mother and
other dear ones are at rest from their
labors. 1t proves once more the truth
of the grand old song, There's no place
like home"
In some cities taxes are quite severe
and might prevent farmers from mov-
ing in and staying, but in Decorah they
are exceedingly mild. No case has
ever been known where eXtravagant
improvements have been made suitable
to city of 100000 or more population,
but the authorities have an eye single
to those of moderate means who have
to struggle to live and pay taxes. All
honor to the wisdom and generosity of
the city dads.
1t is presumable that newspaper is
not up-to-date unless it says something
about Mrs. Nation. 1 read in some
paper short time ago that she was the
bravest woman in the world. / shall
never believe it until she has life and
death struggle and comes out victorious
with that terrible and deakly enemy of
the female persuasion-a mouse.

New Store Building.

Messrs. Brunt & Parman contem-
plate the erection of fine new store
building on the lot purchased by them,
where the P. J. Enright grocery store
has been for years. They will tear
down the greater part if not all of the
present structure, and will build fine
modern building, to be used by them
for their drug business. The second
store will probably be fitted with
offices, more probably with special
reference to doctors use, and the build
ing will be an ornament to the city.
Brunt & Parman are progressive busi-
ness men, and we are glad to note that
they will build structure of their own.

The School Election.

There was quite lively scrimmage
at the public school election at the city
hall Monday afternoon. The two OPP
posing candidates were r. F. B. Port
man and Mrs. Frank Headington, and
the fight waXed warm after it became
fairly opened. There We're 23l votes
cast, and no one was able to foretell the
result until the votes were counted,
when it was found that Mr.. Portman
had received 125 votes and Mrs. Head
ington LOG, the former winning by
nineteen votes.
In West Decorah L. ]. Gillett and
&. S. Boice were elected directors.

CITY POLITICS.
Those Who Will be Candidates for
Office at the Coming Election.

During the past few days there has
been much suppressed political agita-
ton and conjecture as to the possible
candidates,for the city offices, and as
the time for filing nomination papers
closes tomorrow, the situations are nat
urally becoming outlined. During the
day and evening of yesterday little
crowds of men could be seen on the
street corners discussing matters, and
it became evident that much interest
was being awakened.
In the contest for mayor, the present
incumbent, Geo. w. Adams, and A.
Bernatz have filed nomination papers.
The friends of DIR. Daubney have been
urgent in their solicitations to him to
allow his name to be used, but up to
this morning:heihas stolidly refused to
do so, his time being so thoroughly
occupied with his business and private
affairs.
For City Solicitor no petition has
been filed in opposition to that of the
present incumbent, Dan Shea.
For Treasurer lively bout is prom
ised between f. A. Waterbury and f.
J. Curtin, as both have filed petitions
and no grass is growing under the feet
of those who are pushing their respect
i've candidates..
For Assessor c. F. McMasters has no
opposition as yet.
For Alderman, lst ward, two candi-
dates have filed nomination papers,
viz, John NARROW and o. M. Drexel.
For Alderman, End ward, the present
incumbent, o. G. Arneson, is the only
candidate in the field, although A. w.
Freeman, r. Bucknell and others have
received prominent mention.
For Alderman, 3rd ward, there are
two papers filed, one for Geo. Bernatz
and one for Knut w. Knutson.
For Alderman, 4th ward, there is
promise of lively scrimmage between
w. E. Teskey and H. Engbretson. 1t
will probably develop into warmly
contested campaign in this ward, and
the "bloody fourth" is not slow about
putting up good fight when it once
gets warmed up to it.

A Nineteenth Century Marvel.

Foremost among the developments
of the century just closed stands the
inception, the growth and the amazing
accomplishment of The Salvation
Army, which, beginning as local effort
in the slums of London's East End,
has grown and thriven and prospered
until to-day only the ends of the earth
delimit 1t.
So true is this that with the recur-
renee each year of The Army's Self
Denial Week, which is once more ap-
preaching, the whole Christian world
is moved, recognizing in The Salvation
Army the worlds great natural al
mOner to the poor.
Every year without fail The Army
which during every other week gives
its strength, its sinew, its blood as a
matter of course-sets aside one week
as a time of the most special, urgent
and prayerful effort on behalf of the
unreclaimed. This year the dates are
from March 18th TO March oath, dur
ing which period, all over the United
States, not only the actual members of
The Salvation Army, but in so far as
it is possible, their frieDds and sympa-
thizers and cordial upholders will exert
every effort so far to deny themselves
of every conceivable thing without
which life may be maintained, that
thereby they may gain and set aside
funds for the prosecution of the work
among the abandoned and lost.

In Floyd county eight schools are
closed this winter on account of being
unable to secure teachers. Probably
from the fact that the average salary
paid is so small that men and women
cannot afford to work for the amount
offered. AS consequence fewer people
are preparing themselves for teaching,
and schools have to be content with
teachers of less ability than is demand
ed 10y the necessities of the case.
