aging.

I. c. Speers, for many years manager
Of the Odeon theater Of this city, but
for the past few years manager of the
Lyceum, at Minneapolis has accepted
a position In Chicago, at salary of
$4,000 per year and becomes general
manager Of show printing company,
which operates number Of theaters
In addition to its business in show
printing and lithographing. Mr.. Speers
has already assumed the duties of his
new position, having gone to Chicago
q few days ago.
Mr.. Speers has been in Minnea polls
for the past two years, managing the
business interests Of the Lyceum the
ater, which is owned by Dick Ferris.
Mr.. Ferris, while on the road with a
repertoire company. met Mr.. Speers
here. while he was running the Odeon.
He was attracted to him by the man
ner In which he did business, and when
the Minneapolis property, which had
never paid, got In such poor shape that
something had to be done, Mr.. Ferris
engaged Mr.. Speers to take charge Of
the business management. The re-
suit has been that the theater for tho
first time in Its history has made
money, and with the departure of Mr..
Speers is on good paying basis.
,Mr. speers is probably one of the
best posted men In the show business
in the country, and returning to Chica-
10 will be like going home to him. For
many years, after leaving Marshall
town as boy, and before returning to
take charge OF the Odeon, Mr.. Speers
was telegraph operator on the board
of trade.

PLEASED WITH THE SOUTH.

"Ad" Heether Believes South Has a
Briaht Future in Store in CONNER
ciaI Way.
Mr.. j. A. Heether. for many years
one Of the best known railroad men In
Iowa and Missouri, when he held the
position of trainmaster of the Wabash
at Moberly, Mo-, now division superin-
tendent OF the Southern railway, at
Charleston, S. c., believes that the
south has a bright future before 1t In
the way OF commercial development.
Mr.. Heether is in-the city for brief
visit at the home OF his brother-in-law,
Mr.. Charles ]. MoCombs, where Mrs.
Heether has been visiting for several
weeks. Mr.. Heether has not been
north for q year. and II he remains IN
the south many years he will have be
come native southerner despite the TACT
that he believes Iowa to- be one OF the
greatest states in the union
Mr.. Heether was taken to the South
ern by General Manager Charles H..
Ackert, and in turn took with him, af-
ter he became located, Ben q. Falls,
formerly trainmaster of the Iowa Gem
trail. Mr.. Falls took from the North
western Carl j. Thornquist. of this
city, who began his railroad work IN
the Central offices here. Mr.. Falls is
now trainn1aster at Greensboro, N. g.
and Mr.. Thornquiat is at Columbia, s.
c.. as chief clerk to Division Superin-
tendent Williams.
Mr.. Heether says that the Southern
is more than prospecting under the
management of Mr.. Ackert, stocks hav-
ing doubled within year. The same
proportion of increases in earnings is
shown on all divisions, making the
entire property most desirable. On his
division, the Charleston, which is over
500 miles in length, merchandise BUSH
ness alone, the highest class freight
business, has increased ~ per cent
during the past year. While one OF
the Oldest railroads In the country, the
Southern does not show the wear ana
tear Of ages, and gtvss every appear
ance Of being new road today.
Mr.. Heether thinks that Charleston
is one of the best cities Of the south.
When he went there, two years ago,
there had not been new house built
in recent years. During the past nj
teen months at least 200 houses large-
" modern, have been erected. Shipping
business is on the increase, especially
in the vegetable and fruit lines. Some
OF the principal points IN the southern
country are on his division, and at all
of the principal points decided gains IN
development are shown.
Mr.. Heether Is anxious to take home
with him bundle Of corn stalks
which he wishes to exhibit to his
friends in Charleston as an Iowa pro-
duct. People Of the south who nave
never been north knew nothing what
ever Of the culture Of corn, as they
raise but little of 1t, and what -
grown is Of an inferior quality. Ihey
are all UP on cotton, however, even
to the poorer classes Of negroes. VINO
raise small amounts on rented lands.
Mr.. and Mrs. Heether viii leave for
Charleston tomorrow night.
