plant and will move it to his property
on d avenue west, where he will i'm

PLAN IS OUTLINED.
Conduct of the Army and Many
Maneuvers.

New York, Aug. 26.-Maj. Gen. Mac
Arthur has made public the text of
the rules agreed upon for the coming
army and navy maneuvers. The whole
scheme of operations is based upon
the assumption that, in anticipation
of DECLARE tion of hostilities, strong
hostile fleet without torpedo boats,
determines to make sudden dash on
the eastern entrance of Long Island
Sound to secure naval base, in the ex-
pectation of finding the land forces, in
the absence of declaration of war,
in somewhat unprepared condition.
The periods of the maneuvers are to
be divided into two distinct phases
period of preparation and period of
hostilities. During the first period
it is intended that there shall be day
attack and night attack by the feet,
and if possible bombardmenta and the
forcing of passage. During the en-
suing period mines and distractions
may be planted by the defense and
theconditions ofwar are to be followed
as closely as possible.
On the part of the army the infor-
nation to be gained relates to the gem
eral efficiency, down to the smallest
detail, of all that appertains to the
construction and armament of the
land defenses and the training of the
forces manning them. The navy will
concern itself with the best means of
obtaining ranges, the effect of mines
and distractions. formations of at
tack, efficiency of signals, the use of
search lights, and the general control
of artillery fire.
Umpires of both services are to be
detailed to all ships and forts and will
report to board of arbitration of five
officers whose judgment will be final
In addition number of observers will
act with each of the forces as the rep
resentatives of the other.
The period of preparation will be
from midnight August 20 to midnight
August 81, the period of hostilities ex-
tending from the latter hour to noon
September 6. The defense will consist
of Forts Rodman, Adams, Wetherill,
Greble, Mansfield, Wright, Niche
Terry and the fort on Gardeners point.
There will be no floating defenses.
The attack will consist of about Is
ships, of which five will rank as battle
ships and the rest as cruisers and gun
boats.
The naval militia will embark at
Newport on August 80 to be distrib-
uted to the ships. At the close of the
maneuvers the attacking feet will
pass in review before the forts.
Elaborate rules are laid down to eS-
innate the value of She fire of guns
of all calibers. so as to determine when
any ship or fort shall be considered
to have been put out Of action or 81
fenced. All mines are to be fully con-
nected and furnished with dummy
charges and fuses, the explosion of
which will be supposed to entail the
destruction of any vessel passing over
a mine. No communication will be
held with the shore by the feet except
under flag of truce and no boats will
be allowed alongside the ships.

Prairie Grass.

r. Cooms, of near Lacey, brings us
a sample of the old blue stem prairie
grass" eight feet long. The sample
was cut from the prairies adjacent to
Middle Creek. Mr.. Coomes states that
this grass covered the Iowa prairies in
the early day but that it is a growth
that will not stand cultivation nor pas
turage and has almost wholly disap-
peared. 1t fiourished best during wet
seasons and the sample shown is the
best growth that he has seen for years
on the Middle Creek lands. The sam
pie of the grass may be seen in the
north window of the new Herald Office

TO REFORM SCHOOL.
Ray Eisiminger is Adjudged an Incor-
rieibIe.

Ray Eisiminger, who confessed to
the attempts at poisoning in Harrison
township recently, was taken to the in
dustrial school last night by Sheriff
Cricket. A petition was drawn up
and signed by his mother Mrs. Charity
Eisiminger, stating that the boy was
incorrigible and asking that he be
placed in the reform school. The pc
tition was presented to Judge Dewey
who Immediately granted the request
and the lad was taken to Eldora yes
terday evening. By having the petit
ton signed by his mother the charge
of a crime is eliminated and Mr.. An
derson was in no way inclined to
prosecute the boy farther than was alb
solutely necessary.

Brothers Deed.
Special to Daily Herald.

Special to Daily Herald.
Montezuma, Aug. ga terrible and
most pitiful crime has just come to
light in this city where a feeble mind
ed daughter of a very respectable fam
lily has become pregnant by the das-
tardly act of some reprobate with the
suspicion of the community and other
members of the family cast upon a
hayward brother. The family physi-
clan and sheriff's office have been &C
quainted with the circumstances, but
as yet no warrant for an arrest has
been issued and possibly will not be
because of the lack of anyone who will
complain.

THE NEW MASONIC.
Renovated House Opens Under
New Management.

The Chase-Lister company opened
the new Masonic opera house last ev-
ening and the general public entered
the house for the first time since the
alterations and improvements have
been made The entertainment was
also the first under the new manage
ment that of Mr.. Frank Jersey, of OF
tumwa. The improvements and
changes that have been made in the
house have been hurried along so that
the house could be used during fair
week, but the place is in an unfinished
condition and will have much more
work done upon it before the formal
opening that will come some time In
October.
The Chase-Lister company is fav-
orite with Oskaloosa show goers. They
came to the city first number of
years ago when Manager e. M. Fritz
had charge of the house. The excel
lent impression made at that time has
been sustained by subsequent visits
to the city. Monday evening was
popular evening" and the usual in
ducements were offered to the public
with the result that the house was
filed to it's capacity.
The New House.
The greatest changes imaginable
have been made in the new house
since the close of last season and 1t is
small wonder that it is called the
New Masonic" There is little in the
new arrangement of the house that re-
sembles anything that was seen in the
old. The greatest change perhaps is
in the arrangement of seating. The
old dress circle" and parquette sys-
tenn has been abandoned entirely and
the chairs have been placed in what
appears to be three sections on the
lower floor of the house. A wide CEN
trail section almost the width Of the
stage extends from the orchestra pit
back to the foyer. The broad side
aisles separate this central division
from the side division on either side.
The seats are lined on the arc of a cir
Gle and each chair thus fronts the
stage. Every seat in the house is a
good seat" as far as seeing is con-
cerned. The seats in the lower part
of the house have been lowered and
those in the rear have been elevated,
New boxes have been built into each
| side near the stage. They are two
story affairs and when completed with
draperies, etc, will be quite elegant
apartments. Two boxes on a side are
at the stage level and two are directly
above these. Entrance to the second
story boxes is made by means of a
narrow stairway through the lower
boxes. The new ones are a decided
improvement over the old boxes that
were seldom IL ever used by the pub
lie.
Several hundred upholstered opera
chairs were purchased in Peoria and
were placed in the lower part of the
house. The seat and back are cush-
toned and covered with leather, MAX
ing very comfortable and easy seat.
All of the seats on the first floor are
now opera chairs, and the securing of
the addition number of the first floor
has made it possible to place opera
chairs in the first row of the gallery
seats and in the balcony which will
now be quite popular as it has been
separated from the gallery and con-
tains some of the very desirable seats
in the house. The capacity down stairs
is about $50 and that upstairs 500 malr
ing total of 1850.
