gone abroad among the London theatrical

The king believes that the turning OF
royalty into ridicule or contempt Is not
beneficial to loyalty, yet It is asserted that
his own popularity is largely due to his
"Ilyrian" reputation.
The character OF the king of Illyrla ap-
parently is based on that of the king Of

Grinnell, Feb. 12.--The Colonial

opening of the building took place last
evening with speeches, music by tho
Colonial orchestra and a grand auction

ance in the new theater. Walker

ruary 20. An opportunity was also
given for a general inspection of the
theater and the scenery was displayed.
Before o'clock 1000 people We're
standing before the doors and soon
every seat was filled with standing
room hard to find. The new orchestra
furnished excellent music and every
body was In happy mood with the.
knowledge that this gem Of an opera
house was to be theirs.
The meeting was presided over by
Mayor Spaulding. Upon taking the
chair Mr. Spaulding stated the objects
of the meeting Besides giving all n
chance to see the building, the object
Of the managers was to sell the seats
for the opening performance. He told
what was done at the little town of
Washington in this state, where the
first sale of seats amounted to $4,000.
Il was the desire of the managers of the
Colonial to raise as much here, to pay
off the present Indebtedness. Speeches

Grinnell had long looked forward to
this date. Outside of the Congrega-
tional church there has never been IN
Grinnell a suitable place for the hold
ing of large public meetings of any
sort. The Colonial thus supplies a
long felt need in this respect. The
town has never been able to see any
good dramatic talent because there
has been no place for a real theatrical
performance, the old Preston opera
house had fallen into practical disuse
several years since.
Grinnell is a town that will readily
support good dramatic talent. The
first class talent can now be secured.
The fact that this building has been
built and that the people of Grin
nell are so proud of 1t is very largely
due to the untiring efforts of Grin

interest in the concern, receives finan-
cial aid in consideration of revealing
his secreta and In all probability the
plant will be located in Des Moines.
Evidence that he has financial back
ing is not lacking. Before Mr. Dawson
shot and killed his son-in-law. Walter
Scott-for which he was convicted and
sentenced to the penitentiary for ten
years-he had succeeded In organizing a
company for the manufacture of his
steel and hardened copper in this city
and had conducted successful expert
ments in the east. This company owned
the formula used by Mr.. Dawson, but
he was to be superintendent of the
plant and was not required to reveal
the secret process. When he was con-
victed an effort was made to get this
secret from him, but he refused to d.
vulge 1t and has retained 1t to this date.
1t was essential in organizing his COM
pany to secure absolute control of this
secret. To do this he had to buy up the
stock of the old stockholders. This Mr..
Dawson has done.
The invention controlled by Mr.. Daw-
son is a secret formula for treating
steel by which 1t Is made ductile and to
take an extraordinary edge. He also
has process for hardening copper so
that the finest cutlery can be made

THE SOURCE OF LIBEL.
1Sionx CITY, Tribune

l
| There is some disposition in Des
Moines to provide changes in the Iowa
libel laws that will trace the offense
] to its source and provide the penalty
where it belongs. The newspapers have
been held solely responsible, but no one
who understands the process of making
the modern daily will concede the en-
| tire justice of such responsibility. The
newspaper prints information 1t has
obtained from different sources, and a
single issue of the average medium
sized daily may be made up of stories
told by hundred individuals on their
own individual responsibility. The I'M
portance of truth telling and lack of
high coioring is not so we'll remembered
by the public at large as by the max
ers o. newspapers, nor can 1t be ex-
pected that all men will be governed
by the real newspaper instinct and pur-
pose.
The newspaper of today scorns to
libel any one knowingly. 1t only de-
sires to present facts and serve the
public good 1t never prints word
6ercsatcrS to airy man for the sake
of the effect 1t will have on the man
himself. There is probably not news
paper published that would not prefer
to avoid the unpleasant duty associate
ed with printing facts about the miss
deeds of men, but certain duties must
be performed il the newspaper is to re-
main true to it's purpose and it's con-
stituency. In the performance of these
duties the newspaper must depend up
on information obtained from people
outside of its office and in no way con-
nected with 1t. No newspaper is I'M
mindful of the fact that in the great
majority of cases 1t has no difficulty in
securing reliable information, and for
those who furnish it the newspaper
would cheerfully assume responsibility.
The present libel law is based upon the
theory that all men are of this class,
and it is too bad that the theory is I'M
tenable. The few exceptions cause all
the trouble and are the real sources of
all libel suits. 1t is just that malice
should be located and punished, and
there Is justice in the following pro-
posed amendment to section 50S7 of the
code:
Any person who wilfuIly states. de-
livers or transmits by any means what
ever to the owner, manager editor.
or reporter of any newspaper,
magazine, publication, periodical orl
serial, for publication therein, any libel
Gus statement untrue in fact. concern
ing any person or corporation, and
thereby secures the actual publication
of the same is hereby declared guilty of
misdemeanor. and upon conviction
shall be punished by a fine of not ex-
ceeding $500. or by Imprisonment in the
counts Jail Eot exceeding one year, or
BOTH
The way to lessen libel in the news
papers is to place adequate restriction
upon the source. and the above provi- !
sion is admirably designed to do it.

The Colonial will not be shut up be-
tween times. The plan of those most
| interested in the theater is to mako

| good of the town. The building is not
| in any sense money making scheme
and the stockholders do not look upon
| 1t as such. 1t will be opened to any
thing which may be of advantage to
the community. Mayor Spaulding
who is one of the largest stakeholder
and other prominent stockholders, are
anxious that series of public services
be arranged for Sunday afternoons H..

public use to which the Colonial is

Why All Coughs

The germs of an ordinary cough only
live from five to nine days, during
their life inflame the membrane and
thus the germs of other diseases are
enabled to obtain q foothold.
Heretofore there was some excuse
for neglecting a cough or cold, as no
stomach medicine ever invented could
do anything but deaden the effects of
cough germs.
NOW, however, 1t is only thru neglt-
gence that these germs are allowed to
exist for twenty-four hours, for Hyo-

firse and only remedy known that will
destroy the germs causing respiratory
diseases and which can be inhaled in
the air we breathe, the method by
which such germs can be reached.
