"One Night in June" will be the at
traction at the Illinois, Oct >. The tone
of the play is pure and sweet. and
proves that the better nature in hui
manity prevails. 1t is a story of
country life, the sweet remembrance
of which never grows old. If you have
lived in the country this play is so true
to nature that it will charm you. If
you have never known the delights of
such life you will find in this drama
a refreshing change from the old worn
out, stereOtyped rural play. The story
it tells is of such intense interest that
it appeals to all. While there is an
element of thrills which makes the
most blase galleried god eXclaim.
bravo" the splendid singing and dane
ing specialtics introduced during the
action of the play are new. novel and
exceedingly entertaining. The produc-
ton is mammoth one. the manage
ment carrying a carload of special
scenery and beautiful mechanical eff
fects. The caste is a superb one.

people who would like to become act

down upon the devoted heads of the
managers, w J. F!anley & Co. an I'M
usual avalanche of such letters and
all very pretty much alike, except one
that blew in from a Texas town. This
one was from young man who had

FAIR WAS A SUCCESS
Seven Night Affair Given by the
Boosters" Club For Benefit of Mar
shalltown's "Grays" Clears About
$3.50 - Rain Spells Last Night.

The fair which has been In progress
at Finkle's hall for the past seven
nights, given by the Boosters Club
for the benefit of Marshalltown's
base ball club in the Iowa State League
closed a most successful run Saturday
night. While the bills have not all been
accounted for it Is estimated that the
effort will net the association at least
$3.50. The total receipts were $1,007.-
35.
In one respect, at least, the venture
was a novelty, in that not one dona-
ton of any kind, excepting labor. was
asked for Everything disposed of was
purchased Of the local merchants. The
success is due largely to the committee
composed of s. w. LaShelle, E. T.
Austin and L. S. Peckham, also
to the score or more of ladies who do
mated their services. Saturday nights
crowd>was cut i'm two by the rain, but
as 1t was the receipts We're larger than
any other excepting the opening night.

with such success on Friday night was

efforts of the officers on the last night
