led him. Mr.. Pile has been partially
disabled for a considerable time. He
was formerly driver of a coal wagon

many months and under the care of
physicians. He is deserving old SOL
der and after all had been done that
could be done him in his home his
friends advised taking him to the Sol
diers' Home, where he could be better
cared for. The object for which the
Home was established is that it may
furnish a place where the men who
fought for their country may receive
the care that is due them in their old
age, when inf1rmities overcome them.
Mr.. Pile is well known among the
soldiers of the county and is recog
nized as a man we'll deserving of the
best care the state can give him. His
friends here will hope he may be bene-
fitted by the treatment he will be
given"

CHANCE FOR GRAND OPERA.
Henry w. Savage Offers spIendie
Production if 1t is Wanted.

MarshalltoWn has an opportunity to
hear grand opera Without going to Chi
cago or Des Moines, If the patrons of
the Odeon want it. Manager Busby
received yesterday an offer from Henry
w. Savage of Chicago, to bring his
English Grand Opera Company to
this city during the middle of March,
II sufficient guarantee could be
secured to make the production a
success.
Mr.. Savage has one of the largest
opera companies before the American
people today. 1t consists of 175 peo-
pie, including an orchestra of fifty
pieces. Nine cars are necessary to
transport the company, scenery and
baggage, as five complete and distinct
scenic productions are necessary for
the repertory.
Manager Busby is making an effort
to find out just how the gigantic pro-
duction would be received here. A
number of Marshalltown people go an
nually to Chicago, Des Moines or some
other larger city to hear grand opera,
and Mr.. Busby believes that there are
a sufficient number of people in the
city who appreciate the artistic in mu-
sic to at least fill half the house. The
other half, he believes, could be filled
by patrons from out of town. who
would come to hear grand opera.
The repertory of the Savage COM
pany is sung entirely by American
artists, including Millicent Brennan
Florence Easton, Myrtle Holmes, Ma
thilde Metz, Helen Petre, Gertrude
Rennyson, sopranos; Claude Albright
Winfred Baldwin, Margaret Craw-
man. mezzo-sopranos, and contraltos,
Alfred Best, Stephen Jungman, Fran
els Maclennan, Joseph F. Sheehan and
William Wegener, tenors; Arthur
Deane, Winfred Goff Thomas d.
Richards, George White. baritones;
and Harrison w. Bennett, Martin L..
Bowman, Ottley Cranston, Richard
Jones, Joseph Parsons and E. Robert
Kent Parker, BASES. A great singing
chorus in addition to the above SOLO
lists, is carried together with four d.
rectors, N. B. Emanuel, Elliott
Schenck, Eugene Salvatore and VIM
fred Golf. Mr.. Golf is technical d.
rector
English and the repertory includes
Wagner's "14ohengrin" and Tam
hauser," Pucinni's LA Boheme,"
Verdis "Rigoletto," and Gounod's i'm
mortal Faust The favorites with
the company appear to be the Wagner
ian operas, "Lohengrin" and "Tann-
hauser," Judging from the appear
