Iowa Falls, Iowa, June 25.-It has
been maintained by some critics that
more lovers Of shaksperean works are
found in the small towns than in the
city. This may not be true of all small
towns, but in George, Iowa, there is
a Shaksperean revival that is attract
ing much attention.. This revival is
due to Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Vogt, Rev.
Edward Adams Cantrell, former
Chicago pastor, and their associates.
They are members Of a dramatic club
that has given the best works Of the
bard such> creditable production that
they have won the attention of lovers
of Shaksperean plays in many parts
Of the west.
Every member of the club at George
is business or professional man, or
a society woman. In their study Of
Shakspere it was thought a better
conception of the characters would be
gained and that in an educational
way the object sought would be
ton Of some Of the masterpieces.
These plays are usually presented for
some local benefit, and have proven
financial as we'll as literary and artis-
tic successes.
The club has fine line Of costumes
that add much to the productions. It
was started six years ago thru the
ambition to open the new playhouse
with a local talent production. "Da-
mon and Pythias" was selected, and
proved so successful that it was fol-
lowed by 'Lucretia Borgia." These
gave the members Of the club en-
couragement to try Shakspere, and
Julius Caesar" was first produced,
and was followed the next two years
by Hamlet" and 1.-THE Merchant of
Venice" This year the club won its
greatest laurels in "Othello." The

The Dewey theater's season Of pop
ular shows is at an end, and the
theater will undergo the usual re-
pairs before the opening, which will
occur early in August.
The attractions the past season have
been above the ordinary, and, judg-
ing from the increase in attendance
over previous seasons, refined bur-
lesque, interspersed with vaudeville
numbers, has caught on with the the
ater-going public Of Minneapolis.
Owing to the great success Of the
ladies' matinee, the management, by
request, will prohibit the smoking
privilege enjoyed by the male pat
rons and will devote one night every
week as we'll as two matinees to the
fair sex.
During the season over $4,000 la
dies paid admission to the Dewey
theater.
Extravaganza seems to be what the
theater-going public wants. A large
chorus of show girls in glittering
costumes, good comedians and very
little In the vaudeville line are what
proves most popular. The attractions,
therefore, playing the Dewey next
season will increase the choruses by
ten, and perhaps fifteen, people.
The Dewey theater is one of the
houses in the Empire circuit of thea
tiers. This assures it's patrons meri-
torious travelling companies, and
next seasons bookings promise to
eclipse all previous efforts.

Colonel George T. Drake of st. Paul.
unanimously elected commander of
the Minnesota Sons of Veterans at the
recent encampment at Spring Park,
IS one of the best-known members of
the order in Minnesota, and has had
much to do with it's success in this
state. He was mustered in Jan. g.,
1894, at which time he joined the ST.
Paul camp, No. 1. He served in near
ly every capacity in his own camp and
was then made quartermaster of the

A similarity Of the two words first
connected the rosary with the flower,
but the Mohammedan custom Of
counting prayers with strings of
molds filled with crushed rose leaves,
lent credence to the belief that the
rosary st. Dominic introduced, was
formed either from the rose hip or the
unopened bud. In heraldry 1T has al
ways been favorite and even now
appears with the shamrock and the
thistle on England's emblem.

leaves and straw in the beds of the
