THE "DANGERS OF PARIS
A HOLIDAY ATTRACTION

Every seat was taken last night at the
Worcester Theatre at the production of
the melodrama Dangers of Paris The
orchestra was put under the stage and
box seats were utilized The play, which
was in four acts with numerous scenes,
Is of the regulation type of melodrama
with a handsome villain, a gallant but
poor artist lover and the beautiful maid
en- thwarted in love. In spite of its con-
ventionality, the acting was clever the
scenery very good and the climaXes well
worked up.
Joseph Greene as Pierre Vatican, a man
of the people was very strong and re-
ceived much applause. Frederick Saville
took the part of Max Bruno, music hall
singer, and afterward an unwilling SOL
der, to perfection. He is a natural COM
edian and introduced a lot of business
into his part that was very amusing, and
it caught the house. jules George had
the villains part, and he did good work
as the French captain. Ulysses Davis, a
spy, was very strong at times and did
a good piece of emotional acting. Reba
Kaufman as a serving maid played well
to Mr.. Saville's funny character of Bruno,
and the couple made the hit of the even
ing. The rest of the cast did good work
in their parts. The gallery gods were out
in full force and at the thrilling scenes
shouted their applause, Kissed the villain
and showed a full appreciation of all that
makes up the typical melodrama.
A matinee was also given, and a fair
sized audience was present.

Expenses of Smallpox.

Editor Herald The prevalence of
smallpox in Iowa, though Oskaloosa
has thus far been fortunate to escape,
urges the necessity of prompt and de-
cisive action on the part of the Board
of Health. 1t may be stated however,
in connection with this matter that
our position relative to affairs in the
smallpox lines in the past, is 80 well
impressed on all the readers of the
HERALD, as to make them familiar
with the subject.
The levying of the three mill tax to
meet expenses in caring for smallpox
patients on Oskaloosa last fall, when
the tax should have been levied on
the entire county is of so recent date
and the efficient service of Solicitor
Burrell relieving Oskaloosa from this
special charge, lis also late and note
worthy affair-but the most import
ant part of this whole subject matter
at least so far as the expense account
is concerned does not appear to be
fully understood. Under the separate
city and township arrangement as
was the practice prior to the tax
error the expense was very large,
even excessive ranging from one
hundred and twenty-five per month
to five and six hundred per month
making the total cost from twelve to
fifteen hundred dollars per month for
the county. Our supervisors took
this up and advertised for bids, and
it appears reputable, competent and
responsible physicians agreed to do
the whole business covering the en-
tire county for $500 per month dur
ing any period of such epidemic, and
it now appears thatit is also essential
that our city council or that part of
it acting as board of health, should
CO operate with the county super
visors to make the matter work out
smooth and satisfactory as well as
economically. The citizens should
instruct their representative to get
action and as soon as the matter is
OF vital importance to every living
person in the community there should
be no delay and haggling over the
question. Our city dads can il they
80 choose arrange this at their next
meeting, and If they do the people
will be pleased to credit them with
good and faithful as well as prompt
service.

P. E. 0. NIGHT.
Mock Initiation and Cake Walk
Entertainment.

The P. E. O.. entertainment at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. FL. Kalbach
Monday evening was the best of the
kind that the ladies have ever given
in the city. There were about two
hundred guests present and every one
enjoyed the evening with all its vari-
atoms.
The fore part of the evening WIS
devoted to mock initiation and lodge
meeting, minutes, business affairs and
all else. 1. w. Cook and A. L. Com
stock were the victims who joined the
order and they were given the three
degrees and are now entitled to don
the insignia of the order. The P. E..
o. officers were in special uniforms.
So we're the candidates. The officers
were hooded and masked and gave
quite a.ghostly appearance. The at
tire of the candidates was the height
of the ridiculous. There was every
thing that is in the we'll regulated P.
E. o. initiation from the kissing of
the candidates down to the password
and the sign of distress, Little Art
Baldauf got in on the OSCILLATION pro-
gram and did the work to perfection,
but the password and the sign of. dis
tress were the real articles. There
was more merriment caused by the
work than could possibly come out OF
a first-class minstrel.
The after part of the evenings pro-
gram was cake walk that furnished
fully as much diversion as did the
lodge ceremony. All the participants
were in burnt cork and cake walk
costume. Charles Walters presided
as master of ceremonies and made
an excellent showing of the couples
introduced The contestants for the
cake were, Mrs. Libbie Coke and
Frank Morse, Miss BERTHE Lacey and
Harry K. Spencer, Mrs. Barringel
and Elmo Hammond, Miss Eva
Spencer and Doctor Hare. The prize
was awarded to Miss Lacey and Mr.
Spencer.
Frappe was served during the eve
ming and the prize cake was cut fol
the benefit of the guests.
The ladies of the order have Ger
tainly made lasting reputation fol
