BILL TELL UP TO DATE.
20 Rifle Replaces Cross Bow.


Home talent theatricals were
INDUCED in this forenoon at the
Aldrich home on 7th street, the
wonderful achievements of the
legendary William Tell being the
foundation of the play, but the
acting was far different, especially
so in some parts. The trusty and
unerring cross bow of the ancient
narrative was replaced by %
rifle OF modern pattern and the
apple portion of the plays allot-
ment was assigned to common
house fiy of al un-to.d date manu-
facture. Johnny Aldrich. the
precocious family treasure amused
himself for about an hour this
forenoon shooting at sparrows in
the vicinity OF the home but tinal-
ly tiring of the pleasure he entered
the house and was reprimanded
by Mrs Aldrich for bringing the
dangerous weapon into the home.
Being of a rather observing ma
ture Johnny noticed fly on his
mothers head and remarked he
suuessed he would shoot il off"
What followed is rather hard to
learn but the evidence is conclu-
sive that the gun was discharged
and the effect furnishes rather
damaging evidence to Johns skill
as marksman-the fly escaped
unharmed but the bullet took
effect in Mrs Aldrich's left thigh,
penetrating the flesh quite a dis
tance. DR. Gasson was summoned
and attended the wound but the
bullet has not been removed yet.
Needless to remark, Johnny does
not own a rifle now.

OPERA NETA!
Talk Of The Town.
Rendition Of that Beautiful
Play BY Home Talent.

Meta, the beautlfut Opera, drew ous. q
very large audience at the new Opera
House last night in spite of the stcrmy
wealthy. Tonight it is expected that
the capacity of the Opera House will
be tested Remember the proceeds
are for the benefit of the Christian En-
desvor and that the cast is made up
entirely of home talent.
1t is seldom tsst amateur entertain
ments require more than passing not
ice, hut the performance of Meta"
was an exception. There was not a
hitch in the play from the time the
curtain rolled up Oh the tirss act until
it was rolled down On the closing tab
leauX,
An individual mention of the caste
would be Impossible at this time. Suf-
hcato say that each one did splendid
ly. Prof Cushman, the author and
conductor. did remarkably well in
training one hundred and fifty child
rem and ladies in so short a space of
time.
Especial men.ioa should be made of
the singing of Miss Fern Roterts. who
assumed the roll of "Titania," the
queen OF all the Fairiess The young
lady possesses a fine rich voice that is
bound to lead her to fortune ard fame.
All of her solos were warmly received.
Miss Maude ThurSer earned many
compliments for the manner in which
she impersonated the leading role,
Meta ="
Miss Mamie Thurber who imperson-
ated Lola" the proud and naughty
girl: was very fine. There is consider.
able acting in this part, and Miss
rhnr5er did tho part gracefully and
we'll.
Miss NJ .u'i Neuhnd's "Eudora," the
Naiad Qneen, in the beautiful throne
looked we'll surrounded by her maids.
Her singing was fine.
Miss Myrtle Neulind as CAPTAIN of
Guard and Miss Nellie McGavren as
! Princess did their parts nicely.
The Gypsy dance was very fine.
But what knocked the laughs out OF
the audience was Little Lot" an6
Little Tot" Frances Withrow and
Grace Owen. They looked as sweet as
honey.
MISS Leila Owens presided at the
piano as accompanyist, and her work
was highly commended by all.
Every tableaux was perfect. All the
soloist d,d finely. The grand march Of
Gnomes, was one of the prettiest drill.
ever placed on the stage. The fea.
lures of this beautiful Opera cannot
be excelled. The Storm Scene was tn,
best storm scene ever seen in th
Opera House, it appeared real. AL
the parts from the leading character Il
the little tots were taken we'll; and W,
can conscientiously say to the peopl,
of Missouri Valley that you will mis-
a rich treat if you fail to see this beau
hful opera tonight. The openin,
/ Itableaux is we'll worth the price of ad
mission. The prices are very low, 1;

Rustlers in Every Precinct Today.
Although wholly unknown to
the general public, the saloon men
of Harrison county have been
busily engaged for the past few
weeks in formulating plans for
making a thorough canvas of Har-
rison County to obtain the re-
quisite signatures to the consent
petition, wherein the signer ex-
presses his willingness for the
liquor traffic to be carried on in
Harrison county, as provided by
the laws of the state of Iowa.
In every voting precinct in Har-
rison county the campaign for
signers has been actively carried
on today, the solicitors meeting
with general success. During to-
day an effort will be made to Sc
cure the signature, or at least an
interview with every voter in the
county and the plans of the saloon
men are 30 systematized that the
greater majority of the legalized
voters of the county will be inter
viewed before nightfall.
To be successful the saloon
men must secure something over
three thousand signatures and
have twenty-nine days after today
to complete the task.

One of the most frequent uses to

before going to bed they notify central

central rings them up at that time.
1t is amusing to notice the different
things people devise to arouse them

that they don't sleep we'll during the

An exchange makes these truthful
observations: IF there is anyone who
has gained the idea that the prosperity
OF town, village or city is gagged by
the wealth of its Inhabitants, they are
mistaken. History shows that it is
the uniformity with which the citizens
pull together when any important duty
is to be accomplished that builds cities
and makes them prosperous. A man
with a thousand dollars backed by gem
uine interest in the welfare Of his town,
can DO more for its upbuilding than a
millionaire who locks up his money
and az snaps his fingers at home prog
