UNIQUE ACTOR
HAS FINE GOWNS
FAMOUS ALDO DISPLAYS BIG
WARDROBE
Italian Rapid Change Artist Will
Make His American Premiere
in Los Angeles This
Evening

Aldo, an Italian, probably the most
wonderful rapid change artist, ventrllo-
quist, magician and impersonator CIV
ing a snow in which one man does all
of the acting and impersonattes 150
different characters, has rented the
largest theater in Los Angeles and to-
night will give his first performance
in America.
Aldo is not only attractive while on
the stage but impresses everyone in his
everyday life with his intelligent look
and his happy smile. To have seen
Aldo last night as he strolled through
the foyer of the theater happily COM
menting upon the photographs of noted
actors which are hung on the walls,
would have made one thnnk that his
motto was Dolce far niente.'
To see him in his role on the stage
would give the opposite impression, for
his rapid change of dress and character
require both quick and tedious work.
Aldo has appeared before the crowned
heads in all of the capitals of Europs
and his performances have been
praised everywhere he has gone. He
has just completed a tour of South
America and Mexico, and critics say
that he is superior to Fregolia, who re-
ceived $4,000 for twenty weeks en-
gasement in vaudeville in this country
few years ago,
Carries Marvellous Wardrobe
Well might the most fastidious So
ciety leaders look with envy upon the
wardrobe which the actor carries with
him. No society woman could possibly
be more particular about her dress,
for it is said let but one little drop of
dirt or grease soil one of his garments
and he will discard it and have a new
one made to replace it.
This most elegant wardrobe fills 1S1
trunks and is composed of over 100
dresses numberless wigs and dozens of
suits of male attire. During each per-
formance Aldo wears seventy gowns,
and the rapid changes require the SER
vices of twelve attendants, who are all
attired in snow white togas.
To keep the wardrobe in repair two
talors and two dressmakers who are
attached to Aldo's retinue, are con-
stantly kept busy.
To describe or to even fully appre-
ciate the beauty of Aldo's wardrobe
would require one experienced in han
ding gowns made by a Redfern or a
Worth Unlike the costumes of so
many actors and actresses, his dresses
are made of real silks and satins and
are trimmed in valuable old lace. To
own costumes that he declares he will
llOl wear az ain UetduSS lncy are d lllllt
soied would make many an actress
feel proud.
The cost umes are peculiar to the
dress OF almost every civilized nation.
There are Chinese and Japanese robes,
most beautifully decorated by hand
painting, French dresses deliberately
embroidered. garments representing
those worn by the Italian peasants but
made of costly silks, gowns such as an
American society lady wears when
dressed decollete and the most gorge
Gus dresses Of the soubrette.
In his performance at the Mason
Monday, Tuesday and wednesday
nights Aldo will use fifteen drops which
are made of splendid cloth interviewer
after the manner of tapestry with
flowers and figures Of various designs,

MANY TOURISTS
ARRIVE DAILY
HOTELS ARE CROWDED WITH
VISITORS
Railroads Report Big Influx of the
Wealthy Class, Seeking Warm Cli-
mate After Holiday Fes-
t;vities in the East

Transcontinental railroads are now
reaping the richest harvest from pas
senger travel that they secure at any
time of year. The wealthy eastern
people began to arrive in Los Angeles
last week and hundreds more are on
their way.
During the month of January there
are no cut rate excursions and the
people who travel have to pay full
rates. Tourists who come west during
this month are usually the wealthy
easterners who do not object to the
full rate.
Most all of the newcomers have left
their homes because they dislike the
severe cold weather that is experienced
in the eastern and northern states
during January and the changeable
and rainy weather during February
and March.
Railroad officials and hotel keepers
divide the tourists who visit Los An
geles during the colder months into
four classes and the people who daily
alight from the trains now are put In
the third class. The first class is the
colonists who arrived early in the fall
and now have either returned to their
homes or have found new homes In
Southern California. The second class
Is the tourists who came a little later,
taking advantage of cheap round trip
excursion. The third class is known as
the wealthy class or the after-holiday
tourists. In February cheap eXcur-
sions will again be made over all of
the roads from the east to the west and
the people who come then make up
the fourth class

There We're several other tests in the immediate

OF the or two has chilled the enthusiasm which
was enSendered by the first strike and the new
Warrington pool has fallen in the opinion of the
operators who began to compare IL with the Keener
sand pool.
In southeastern Ohio the situation is unchanged
from that Of many weeks. as nothing Of Importance
has been found m any section and only the Orii-
nary OF work with the ordinary results are
recorded In the Illinois fields great deal OF new
work is being done. especially in Crawford County
and number of good producers have followed the

talent Is being attracted to this field by the con-
tinued successful efforts of operators and there Is
every likelihood OF increased work being carried on

A strong ticket was placed in the

ous county officers, and a lively fight
is looked for in the county at the COM
ing election. The nominations made
were as follows: For representative,
Herman Hack, of Wilson township;
auditor, j. W. Clark, of Ashton; treas

coroner, DIR. l.. III. Hutland, of Sib-

No nomination was made for survey
or at the convention. This was also
the case at the republican county con-
vention held some days ago. There
seems to be no desire among the peo-
pie for the position.

it. Owen kept the wires hot trying to

could appear at Mount Carroll, but
he was not able to get it, and the au-

Supreme Court Decision OF
Judge Weaver Affects All
Cities In Iowa
FORT DODGE CASE DECIDED
Decision Is to Effect That All Cities
in All Gases Are Responsible Unless
They Keep Streets and Alleys Free
From Public Nuisances and obstrue-
tons Of Any Kind.
Special to Times-Republican.

Fort Dodge, Oct. There is wide-
spread interest in Iowa in an impor-
tant opinion handed down by Judge
Weaver, of the supreme court, revers-
ing the decision of the lower court IN
the case of M. Wheeler VS.. the city OF
Fort Dodge This opinion is exhaus-
tive and far reaching and affects not
only the city of Fort Dodge, but every
city in the state of Iowa. Judge Wea-
yer opines that the, city in putting up
wires knowingly created public nuis>
ance. and that the city is liable for all
accidents resulting. The opinion de-
MES the right of any city in Iowa to
give over it's public streets and ave-
nues for public shows and fairs, and
lays down a rule that a city Is, in all
cases, bound to keep its streets and
alleys and public places free from all
distractions and nuisances, and also
holds that the placing of wire or wires
upon which objects may become sus-
pended above the streets is in every
way Just as much violation of the
law as 1t would be for the city to all
low hole in the street to be left open
or defective sidewalk to remain un-
repaired.
Judge Weavers opinion states, how
ever, that on certain proper occasions
the streets may be roped off and used
for ceremonial professions in which
the public has some interest.
The opinion also denies the right and
power of any city in Iowa to turn over
the streets to commercial club or
celebration committee and thus escape
liability for accidents.
The decision confirms the view taken
by Judge Evans in the habeas corpus
proceedings brought by the De Etta's,
that the permitting of the slide for
life" was in and of itself criminal neg
ligehce if death or injury resulted
therefrom.
In the new trial resulting from the
adverse decision of Judge Weaver two
questions will he decided, namely,
whether or not Wheeler was guilty OF
contributory negligence in placing him.

hurt, and to how great an extent he
was injured.
