THE PunKin Husker. the attrac-
tion at the opera house last evening,
is the latest work from the pen of
Lawrence Russell one of the we'll
known contemporary drsmticst, ana it
is first being produced this season,
being now on the road about two
weeks. Its name is 70 certain de-
gree misleading. 1t is not, as might
be inferred. rural play with the
hay seed band and the inevitable thresh-
er or sawmill scene. IL is much more
skillfully written and constructed
than the plays of this we'll known type
and is better calculated to impress re-
preventative audiences.
The scene Of the piece is laid in In
diana and there is no little local color.
The theme is the old story of the her
oine temporarily In love with the
wrong man, the villain, but it is
worked out In fresh and novel man
ner and is involved with the story of
an interesting political fight which
eliminates in the success of the pum-
kin husKer candidate for congress.
Everything works out right. The
right man marries the right girl and
the villain, who is not such a great
villain after all, is foiled at every
turn. Then the audience goes home
well pleased with itself and the play.
The Punkin Husker is mounted
with special scenery and effects which
add to the pleasure of the production.

PREDICTS A FLOOD.
Old River Pilot Predicts Big Rise OF
Mississippi.

Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque. March 27.-Capt. Dele of
st. Louis, one of the oldest river cap
tnins and pilots on the river, is au-
thority for the statement that the river
will rise to thirteen feet before the
spring high water is over.
Capt. Dele said that the sloughs were
full of water that had not been emp
tied and that every condition was fa-
vorable to extremely high water. The
record at La Crosse is thirteen feet
and six-tenths, just six-tenths higher
than Capt. Lele's prediction.
Owing to the recent rains in the
northern part of the state, the river
has been rising rapidly. At La Crosse
the stage at present is SIS feet, and
there is every Indication that it will
go still higher This is a rise of over
six inches in twenty four hours and the
river presents quite a spectacle from
the levee. The water is turbid and
muddy and great deal of timber and
brush, washed from the banks above,
has come floating past. The recent
warm weather has also had it's effect on
the rapid rise of the water, the melted
snow filling the small tributaries with
water and, as consequence, the upper
river has experienced sudden rise.
The cutting away of the northern for
ests is also believed to be cause of
the unusual spring floods, as the un-
covered land is drained much more
rapidly than when it was heavily tim
bered.
