Richard earle and 1.-THE Tenderfoot"
Company Score a Success.

Company Score Success.
With the plains and the COW coun-
try for setting, with soldiers, cattle
punchers, MeXcans and Mexican girls
in the cast, The Tenderfoot,' or more
correctly speaking, Richard Carle
scored success before good sized
audience at the Odeon Friday night
OF Carrie, as Professor Pettibone, in
the title role. and his style Of comedy,
clean, high class and all the time thor
oughly funny, too much in praise cam
not be said. OF the company, collec-
lively, this would scarcely be true, al
tho there are bright particular spots
in the cast, which outshone the others.
"The Tenderfoot," is built around earle,
and without him, or capable sub
stitute, it would fall below the aver
age. Not great deal can be said for
the score. There are a few numbers
which appeal to the eat, but most Of
it is little better than. the ordinary.
This is especially noticeable when in a
cast, such as this one, there are no
unusual voices. With the exception
of Edmund Stanley, the tenor, and Miss
Helena Frederic, the singing only aver
aged fairly we'll. The staging was
pretty and effective, and the produce
ton is handsomely dressed.

DAILY ON SOUTH SIDE.
Candidate for Mayor Speaks to Crowd
at Bohemian Hall.


Before a crowd of about a hundred,
Anthony G. Daily, candidate for mayor,
spoke for an hour Friday night in Boz
hemian hall. Ostensibly the meeting
was for Fifth warders, but many were
there who claim residence north OF
the tracks. Enthusiasm was shown,
and Mr.. Daly's speech was punctuated
a number of times with outbursts of
applause. Mr.. DAILY dealt with gen
eralities rather than concise statements
of either policy or future purpose, and
criticized the city council as body
rather than as individual members. Mr.
DAILY used such general statements as
my love for Marshalltown, it's people
and it's industries for the good OF
the city, fair dealing between man
and man." honesty toward all men,
as the platform on which he stood.
Only once the meeting was disturbed
when someone on the outside, who
bawled thru the doorway "Hurrah for
Ingledue!" Pausing, Mr.. DAILY said,
let him howl; wolves howl all
ways Cigars and apples were
handed out in quantities. Mr.. Henry
Arson presided as chairman.

feen Was at DEBORAH for Several
Years, and Was Second Choice of
Board Three Years Ago.

r. T.. Coffeen, superintendent of
schools Of Mason City, was this morn
ing elected superintendent of the pub

| July 1.
Mr.. Caffeen was one Of the numer-
Gus candidates before the board three
years ago, and was unanimous second
choice when Mr.. Crane was elected.
At that time he was at DEBORAH, where
he acted as superintendent for five or
six years. For the past year he has
been at Mason City and his work there
has been most satisfactory. The Mas
on City board paid Mr.. Coffeen $1,000
when he accepted the superintendency,
and has offered him $1,000 to stay. The
school board here secures him by pay
| ing $1,000 for the first year, $4,000 for
the second, and $2,100 for the third.
| In securing an audience with Mr..
| Coffeen, Rev. DR.. +. w. Parsons was
written by Mr.. Wilbur, of the board,
asking as to the manner in which the
Mason City schools were being con-
Quoted. DR.. Parsons wrote a letter
that showed the general feeling of the
patrons of the schools of Mason City.
and the high esteem in which the SUI
perintendent was held. The other
members of the board knew of his
work at DEBORAH, as it had been in
vestigated when he was an applicant
three years ago. Mr.. Coffeen was tel
| ephoned Friday evening, reached the
city at 3 this morning, met the board
at s o'clock, and left for his home at
8: 3d. with his contract signed. Mr..
Coffeen has been very successful in
school work, and the members of the
board feel that he Is an ideal man for
the place. He is a young man, be-
tween 35 and 40 years Of age.
