Des Moines, April 23.-The day Of the
modern interurban railroad Is at hand
and a large number of the new lines
are projected in the state for construc-
ton this year or In the future. The
first one of the electric interurbans in
actual operation runs out of Des Moines
and the experience of this company, as
related in its first annual report, made
to the state executive council for as
sessment purposes, may be some guide
to the promoters of interurbans else
where. The report shows that the
business is decidedly profitable. The
line is short one but 1t had net earn
ings of $4,000 the first year. or nearly
$670 per mile on valuation of $4,000
a mile. The line runs from Des Moines
to Colfax, but has not been in opera
ton its entire length a full year There
are also branches to the army post
south of Des Moines and to Valley
junction to the west. The following
statistics are gathered from the first

LYCEUM STOCK
NEXT THURSDAY

Probably the most successful war
drama ever seen in stageland is that
great play Held By The Enemy"
This piece is alive from start to finish
with soul stirring situations and, aside
| from the comedy scenes, depicts the
high sense of honor of the soldier and
his unwavering loyalty to the cause he
rpholds.
The plot centers around the loves
and loyalty of an American soldier of
the Civil War, and the scenes are laid
in the South. Magnificent stage effects
have been consummated which will add
much to the presentation of Held By
The Enemy" and as the play pro-
crosses the realistic settings cannot
fail to impress the onlooker with the
fact that a genuine battle is near at
hand.
The typical loyalty to his country of
the American officer is brought out
most forcibly in the character of
Colonel Prescott CIV. D. Adsms) who,
imam IOilON lHe dictates Ol HIS
heart, gives up hope of his own hap
piness for the sake of the cause he
thinks is right.
George KunkeI sustains the comedy
role of an up-to-date war correspond |
ent, and his ideas regarding the NOR |
tally list of a single battle where |
nothing but the scenery is punctured. |
is not far off the true scent.
The Lyceum Stock Company deserves
credit for fulfilling the promise made
early in the season, of giving standard |
plays, well presented. A crowded house
should greet them as Thursday and
are the only days on which
Held By The Enemy will be given.
Many excellent specialties will be in
and will be up to the high
already set. The box Office
opens tomorrow morning at nine and
will be open every day from 9 to 1 and
to 6.

parts of the island. My object is to
obtain ideas about needed public work
in every district.
1.-THE Kauai trip will occupy a week
or ten days. After returning I shall
go to Hawaii, probably taking two
weeks on that island. About the end
of that time things will be moving
here. In the meantime the prepare ton
of plans and specifications will be go
ing on in the department.

Dispensary, those buildings have been

commission from the Court of Ordinary
at their trial at the jail yesterday aft

at the trial was touching the mother
of the lad tearfully cOnsenting to his

being tried for lunacy, while acting in
such way as to convince the, Jury
that he was mentally unbalanced, in
cited their pity He consented to be-
ing sent to the sanitarium when Judge
McAlpin told him that it was a fine
hotel, though he said he would rather
stay at the De Soto. 1t developed from
the evidence that he was paSsionately
fond of music. When Judge McAlpin
told him that he could play his banjo
all he wanted to, he was beside himself
with joy.
"Bennie," he said addressing his eld-
err brother. who was present at the
trial, 81 wish when you get that $751;
100000 from the gas company you
would give me two quarters!"
The other two who were tried are
