AHOME PRODUCTION.
Late Piece Of Music All Done In
Oskaloosa.

~
The Herald presses have recently
been partner to a triumph Of home tai
ent and local labor in the publication
Of a new piece Of music, Heart
Strings" an intermezzo from the pen
Of John w. Casio, and published by
C. l.. Farmhouse, Oskaloosa's well
known bandmaster and music pub
Usher.
The HeraId's part of the work was
the printing of the title page for the
sheet music, and the job is easily the
best piece of work of the kind that
has ever been done in the city, and
is the equal of the fine color work
turned from the presses Of large east
ern establishments. The Herald has
received numerous compliments upon
the work from a distance, and Mr..
Farmhouse is daily receiving letters
of commendation and compliment.
The Herald's new Whitlock press diu
the color work.
A sample of the work, which is
known as the three color process
is to be seen in the south window OF
the Herald office on North Market
street, and it is attracting much at.
tention. The piece of music is to be
had Of any of the music houses Of the
city.
The title page is an original draw
ing by Miss Jamie Farmhouse, daug1'
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. G. L. Farmhouse,
and is her own idea of illustration OF
the title, Heart Strings" A young
lady, pleasing in form and feature, is
gracefully posed in a bank of cushions
and sofa pillows upon a luxurious
Davenport. One foot rests lightly
upon the floor, while the toe of the
| other peeps saucily from beneath tle
pretty skirts. The position assumed
gives security to a musical instru
ment, a heart-shaped body with
! strings like unto a banjo. A dainty
arm rests upon the edge Of the heart
and the fingers lightly touch the
strings, which are fretted by the 9th,
er hand. The dainty miss chances co
quettishly from her work, and nc
wonder that the little love god, Dor
Cupid, has been attracted by the
pretty picture and perches demurelJ
upon the back Of the sofa, listening tc
the harmonies and feasting upon the
loneliness before him. All of the de
tails Of the picture are carefully work
ed out and the page, while at once
| pretty and attractive, reflects great
credit upon the young designer ant
artist.
The music is one of the best things
that has ever come from the pen o.
the talented young composer, John W
Casio, of this city, and it is receivia.
much attention from all parts CT tht
! country. A large edition Of the piece
recently published by Mr.. BarnhousC
is now practically exhausted and OF
ders are increasing with every mail
A second and large edition is to be is
sued Immediately. The piece is be
coming a marked success and author
and publisher are alike to be congrat
ulated.

WITH MAUD ADAMS.
Frederic Knight Logan Has Fine Pc
sition This Year.

Frederic Knight Logan, an Oska
loosa boy, is this year the musical di
rector of Miss Maud Adams Company
in the comedy, in four acts, entitled
"The Little Minister" 1t is a dra
matte play with twenty-five musical
numbers in it, all orchestra and no
singing. Her support is the finest in
New York City. One scene, is 2
church scene, and the orchestra plays
a grand choral number like the
church scene from Faust, and the big
church bell in the distance on the
stage is ringing, and you can see thu
town below lighting up, lights coming
in the windows, then the church lights
up. 1t is beautiful. In the last act
Frederic has to play pantomime mu.
sic, while Miss Adams is doing panto,
mime. No orchestra, just piano alone,
There is lots of Scotch flavor to the
music, and one in a while a Scotch
reel breaks out in the orchestra. Miss
Adams is supposed to be the most ar.
tistic actress now in america. She Is
also popular in London. The com
pany goes south. Spent all last week
in New Orleans, La. They return
north and will be one week in Chicago
Dec. 5 to 10. This company is under
the management of Charles Frohman.

County Almost a Memory.
Sigourney, Oct. 29.-Mrs. Lille
Cochran, who has been postmistress
in the little town Of Lancaster for the
last tw~enty-three years, has rendered
her resignation to take effect as soon
as a successor can be appointed.
Years ago the town of Lancaster was
a live business point, at one time it
was the county seat of Keokuk coun-
ty. Then the office paid a good sal
airy, but of late years the town has
decayed and the establishment Of the
rural routes out Of Sigourney has TAX
en- nearly all the business from the
Lancaster Office. Mrs. Cochran Is
the oldest postmaster in point Of SER
vice in this part of Iowa, II not in the
entire state. 1t is rumored that the
Office may be discontinued as nearly
all the patrons can be reached by the
rural routes.
