be given again this year in the same
complete and elaborate fashion as
marked the engagements last season.
The ShO Gum is the first joint work
Of George Ade and Gustav Luders. and
1t Is one of the most pretentious mu-
sical offerings the American stage has
known in decade past. In the book
and lyrics OF The ShO Gun" will be
found the best work AIr AIDE has done
In a long time. The wit and brilliancy
which earned him his first success in a
literary way still mark his writings.

The production is staged in the usual

placing of the locale of the opera in
Korea gave TO the scenic artist and
costumers many glorious opportunities
for artistic effects, and that they did
their work well may be believed after
the first glimpse of the stage settings

continents, Europe, Asia, Africa, through

tain in America and Europe that IS ae-
cessibls to man; In fact. there are but
few corners OF the earth that he has
not visited with his insepareble camera.
His lectures are, for many reasons.
unique. He not only takes every pic
ture shown, but he colors them, also.
Years ago. before he became interested
in photography, he devoted his time as
an artist to picture-making. and thor
oughly mastered the secrets of the
brush. This early work has stood him
in good stead, for 1t enables him u
color his own slides, and his colorir &
lends 20 his slides d genuineness that

Edwards and Mrs Holtry came here

part of the state. where the boys pa

Des Moines, May 31.-Caucuses have
been called in the city of Perry for
Friday evening in two wards The
standpatters believe they can control
them. They have sent from here to
Perry the necessary money which they
believe will get the caucuses. They
want Perry because they believe it
will have a big effect on Dallas coun-
ty. These wards are largely dominated
by railroad men, and the men who
speak for the Milwaukee railroad have
given the word that all railroad men
must vote against Cummins, no mat
ter what may be their politics or their
personal preferences. The caucuses
will be open ones so that every man
can be spotted by the paid employees
of the railroads Dan Woodin ana
Charley Johnston went up to Perry
from here. They announced they had
plenty of money and were going to do
business for the Perkins ticket. Wool
in and Johnston are lawyers who are

been made elsewhere for the railroad
