A Beautiful Play Ably Presented.

The presentation of the beautiful
Scottish drama, beside the Bonnie
Brier Bush at the Grand Monday
evening was marrod by just one thing
the fact that the house was not
packed to it's capacity. 1t is the un-
animous opinion of those who saw it
that it was one of the best staged and
most ably interpreted plays ever seen
in DEBORAH. The veteran j. III. Stod-
dart seems to have lost none of his
vigor and faithfulLess in portrayal of
character. and Reuben Fax as ''Pos-
ty'' made hit every time he appear
ed. The play is pathetic story
which has been we'll preserved in
staging. and the beautiful stage set
tings, the superb acting of everv men,
Der of the company, and the splendid
singing of the male quartette, united
in giving Us an evening of high class
entertainment such as we have never
before seen in DEBORAH. We have
seen no Ole who saw the play who
was not delighted with it.

BUYS The Stroller House.

The deal was closed last week for
the purchase Of the Strother House at
Cresco by @. +. Stinson of Freeport.
Mr.. Stinson has been. on the road for
several years past, and desiring to get
into the hotel business looked over the
situation and thought this a splendid
opening. There is no reason why he
ought not to run good hotel and
make a paying venture OF it. He is
an energetic, up-to-date yorng man
with lots of push. and no doubt will
give the people of Cresco the best of
service. His brother will probably
be associated with him in the conduct
ing of the business.

Principles, Not Men.

The political contest in Iowa is not
and should not be one of personalities.
But Republicans ought not to in any
case sacrifice principle for men. Men
are ephemeral principles are eternal.
The question for the people of Iowa
to decide is whether or not they are in
favor of the free importation of farm
products from Canada into the United
States. That is the burning question.
This question effects every farmer in
Iowa. If Canadian farm products
should be admitted free it would re-
duce in value, to the amount of ten or
fifteen dollars per acre, every acre of
farm land in Iowa. AS the Capital
has already demonstrated, such a
plan would surrender to the Canadian
farmer consuming population of
over 300, 600 of people, and we would
get in return 5000, 600 of farmers in
Canada. Governor Cunmins' PROPOSE
ton to sacrifice the Iowa farmer for
what he calls the general good" is
only all illustration Of what recipro-
city in competitive productions is and
would be. The farmers of Iowa who
are opposed to giving the Canadian
farmer the advantage of the great
American market, free of charge,
should look after the delegates to the
next Republican state convention.
The opinions of delegates should be
ascertained before they are slated. 1t
is now question of taking care of
Iowa. This is the great agricultural
state of the union. Select good men
for delegates and know what principles
they favor before they are selected
Let us have show down OH Republic
can principles. If the presidential
campaign of this year is to be fought
on the lines laid down in Governor
Cummins' inaugural the Republicans
of Iowa ought to begin to know it.
The Capital will indulge i'll no per-
sonalities but we expect to prove that
|
licanism. We expect to prove that
the lowering of the duties on all
manufactured goods coming from Eng.
land, France, Spain. Italy and Ger
maly would destroy our great Ameri
can manufacturing industries ant
would injure all those who are EN-
ployed in factories. We expect tt
show that Governor Cummins' plan o.
securing a foreign market for Ameri
can farm products would sacrific,
mole at home than would be gained
abroad. We expect to show that it il
wrong in principle to sacrifice thu
farmer of Iowa in the interests o.
Canada, and also wrong to sacrifice
the American manufacturer in an at
tempt to make foreign market fo
the American surplus of farm product
which is to be vastly increased by thu
free admission of Canadian farm pro
duce. Dies Moines Capital.

DIAMOND KING SAID

"A profound sensation was caused in
financial circles here today by the an
nouncement of the death of Freeman
Cohen, one of the prominent men of
the Rand financiers. No particulars Of
the cause of death were divulged by
those in close touch with the facts, but
the statement was made and not con-
tradicted that Mr.. Cohen had commit
ted suicide.
1t was reported that he had killed
himself while temporarily insane as a
result of financial worries.
Cohen was reported to be worth
anywhere from 20 to 40 million pounds
($100 O00, 900 to 5000, ,OO0,0OO). He con-
trolled some of the best mining proper
ties I'M South Africa and was also inter
ested in numerous South African enter
prises. II was rumored last December
that he was in financial difficulties but
later the report was denied.

note is causing mucn unfavorable
comment here as it had been conf
IDENTIFY expected that the reply would
have reached Toxic before the end of

The anxiety regarding the matter
has resulted in the Japanese minister
to st. Petersburg, M. Kurino, being no.
tilted to cable to Toxic so soon as re-
ceived, summary OF its provisions,
with statement whether it is fav-
orable or not. He Is then to follow
with the note in full while the gov
to take such action as may be made
necessary by the reply.
MUCH INDIGNATION.
London, Jan. 2G.-The Kobe corre-
spondent of the Express, cabling last
night declares that there is intense
indignation there at the failure of Rus
sia TO send reply to Japan's last
note.
The newspapers print leading edi
torials declaring that Russia is pre-
pairing for war and at the same time
is using the continental newspapers,
by liberal use of money, to set on
foot the impression that Russia wants
peace, and that if war does come ia
pan will have been the aggressor. It
Is urged that Russia has shown that
she has no intention of dealing fairly
with Japan, and in confirmation Of
this latter statement it is stated that
Russia has notified number OF Euro
pean governments of her position in
regard to Manchuria, while at the
same time she has made no effort to
declare her position to Japan.

Roy Williams, of Waynesburg, son of
Workhouse Director Frank Williams,
was. struck by street car on West
Tuscarawas street Monday about noon
receiving severe injuries that at first
it was thought would prove fatal. 1t is
now thought that If no complications
arise he will recover.
Williams was crossing the track
at the Mckinley avenue intersection
when street car coming from the west
and running at a high rate of speed
struck the wagon. The driver was
thrown from the seat and fell upon
his head, rolling quite distance. The
horses and broken wagon were carried
quite a distance by the car, but the
animals were not seriously injured.
Willitms was taken into William
Schumacher's and Drs. T. II. and ]. E.
Shorb and T. C. McQuate were called
The injured man was given some atten-
ton and later removed to Aultman
hospital. He was unconscious for some
time, and it was thought the skull
was fractured. There was an ugly cash
over the left eye and several upon the
head Monday night the young man
had regained consciousness and it is
thought the danger point has been
passed.
The car was in charge of Conductor
