and received his release from the New
York American league club four

OPENING OF THE GRAND.
The Drama "Parsifal' to Open Season al
Decorah's Playhouse Sept. 18th.

Since Wagner's celebrated drama
of "Parsifal'' has been announced
for its presentation here Sept. 10,
quite considerable degree of interest
and expectation is evidenced among
all classes Of our theatre goers. There
is no doubt but much of this is caus-
ed from mere curiosity, occasioned by
having heard of the tremendous ex-
citement that was stirred up at it's
initial production in New York City.
But by far the greater and keener in.
tereSt is shown by the intelligent
reading class of the masses and the
more refined and cultivated citizens
comprising the better grade of lovers
OF all that is good in theatrical offer
ings. The play of "Parsifal' essen
TALLY appeals to the intellect, and
one whose best enjoyment is gained
through that medium cannot find a
more worthy vehicle than "Parsifal, :"
presented by Messrs. Martin and a
Emery's capable company. The
spectacle however, cannot fail to
please all classes. There is something
in its production that will appeal to
every individual taste. But there is
that something in this "drama of all
dramas" sweetly pervading its four
absorbing acts, that never fails to hold
its auditors from beginning to end
spellbound with intense interest and
pleasure. This something is its
sweetly human story, told with its
expressive symbols and allegory, and
enhanced and heightened with the air
of mysticism and orientalism sur
rounding and permeating it all.
"Parsifal" patrons should bear in
mind that the first lift of the curtain
will occur promptly at 7:45. Owing
to the auditorium being in darkness
none can be seated after this time, till
conclusion of the first act. Ten
minutes warning of the approach of
time will be given by
uniformed Heralds blowing "Parsi-
fal" motif ON their clarions.

IOWA CORN CROP.

What 400, 600, 600 bushels of corn
mean to Iowa can hardly be compre-
hended by the average mind. At the
prevailing prices it means nearly
Sl60, coo, 900, and that from corn
alone, says the Cedar Rapids Republi-
can. AS matter of fact it will
amount to great deal more by the
time the corn has been converted into
hogs and cattle and sheep. There is
nothing can resist the influence of
such crop of corn in this state and
nation. 1t is bound to make good
times for at least another year. The
good years have been so many now
that every one feels that hard year
is coming, that it is overdue. This
makes the tenth year since returning
prosperity began to smile on this land.
Once or twice there have been little
flurries and little scares and even
money has frightened once or twice
since then. but the crops have been
so uniformly good and the domestic
consumption of all manner of prod
ucts has been so active that prosperity
has continued to grow. We have our
financial system on a firm basis now
and if we are wise and keep our wise
tariff laws. practically intact, even a
year or so of crop failures would not
seriously disturb our business and
financial serenity.
The 400, 600, 900 bushels of corn are
certain barrier against hard times
in Iowa. They mean that every one
in this state is going to have money
to spend. 1t will be honest money,
too, money that does not come from
wrecking some bank, nor from defraud-
ing some one, nor from making any
one poorer in order to make Iowa
people richer 1t has been taken from
the soil by the hand of industry and
it increases many fold the comforts
of the people of the entire country.
