One of the easiest ways in which to

Our subscribers should ask for the

Exhibit of Corn and Poultry
Coming in Rapidly
CORN AUCTION ON SATURDAY
Lecture by Corn Expert on Friday
Afternoon will be Star Attrac-
ton at Big Show

The Poultry and Corn Show star ted
with q rush this morning. Yesterday
the officers were rather pessimistic,
but today they are jubilant. The
specimens of fine corn are pouring in
on the committee from all directions
and this part of the show promises
to be Of great interest to every per-
son engaged in raising the great Iowa
product. The space for chicken ex-
hlbits is filling up rapidly and some
beautiful birds are already on exhibit
tion. Chicken fanciers throughout
the country are bringing in their
favorite chicks by the wagon load and
every express train is loaded. The
show will certainly be worth not one
visit but two or more The man who
pays no attention to his stock will see
what he is losing when he sizes up
the big hens and roosters at the show.
Every farmer will be interested in
the corn exhibits. Some farmers
look upon fancy poultry as a fad hut
all acknowledge that it is worth while
to raise the best corn possible. The
Ames expert will be here on Friday
to judge the corn and will give a free
lecture on corn cultivation which will
be worth $50 to all who hear him.
On Saturday the fine corn exhibited
will be sold at auction. this will be a
great feature and many farmers are
counting on getting some extra fine
seed corn at the show.
The only thing lacking SO far is
spectators and these were not expect
ed for the first day. With a good
crowd and some music beside that
furnished by the roosters the show
promises to be memorable success
This afternoon there were seventy
five corn exhibits. all of them very
fine. Good judges pronounced these
speciments among the finest they have
seen. The auction on Saturday will
be interesting ard the first prize corn
ought to bring fancy price. About
$50 specimens of poultry are now on
exhibit. Among the exhibitors are

Above we give the stand ng of all
candidates up to Tuesday evening Dec.
10th. But three weeks remain in
which to decide who shall receive the
beautiful Diamond and Ruby Ring
now on exhibit at Chamberlin' S. This
will be the easiest prize of all to win.
After January the contestants will
know better how to go to work. The
holiday rush will be over and people
will have time to think of other things.
1t looks now as if very little ener-
getic work would win the beautiful
prize to be given on January 1st.
From the number of contestants
entered it will be seen that the inter
est is wide spread. Several Of the
candidates were entered by friends
who. coming in to pay their suhscrip-
tion, have voted for the young lady of
their cheice. This is indeed a high
compliment and shows that these
young ladies have decided popularity
which will stand them in good stead

but its people are discriminating.
Once in while they miss something
that is really good and sometimes they
get buncoed into attending a poor
show. AS rule however you can
judge performance before the cur
tain rises. by the size of the crowd.
We believe the new opera house
will pay good dividends: not only in
the enjoyment. safety and comfort of
our people. but in cash. On Friday
evening the performance was very
evidently handicapped by lack of
stage facilities and stage-room. The
performance was excellent however,
the costumes were good. and nearly
all the actors did we'll. The charact-
ers of Pontius Plate. Herod. Marius.

beth were particularly we'll played.
Practically every seat in the body
of the hall was taken and the gallery

Manager Klinker is to be congratu-
lated in securing this attraction for
Denison. Usually the manager is con-
graduated before the play. and moth
ing is said about it afterwards. We
are gald of this opportunity to re-
verse the custom.

! OPERA HOUSE SOLD,
'Germanla Verein Accepts Offer
of Business Men.
THE DEED is AuTHo RlzED
BY Large Vote verein Endorses Sac
New Opera House Now in Sight.

Nothing but the completion of the
details now stands in the way of
rapid progress being made for the
erection of a new opera house. At
its regular meeting on Wednesday
night the members authorized the
sale of the building and lot. This
was done by the decisive vote of "a
to Is. OF the forty-nine members all
but ten were present either in person
or by proxy. AS several of those not
voting are known to be in favor of the
project. there can be no doubt but that
the action voices the real sentiment
of large majority of the members.
There was some objection as will be
noted by the vote. Some thought the
price insufficient, others wished a
guarantee that the rev building
would be erected on the site of the
old one. while still others chung with
fondness to the old organization to
which they had belonged for so many
years. 1t is creditable to the Verein.
however. that the spirit of loyalty to
Denison and its progress won the
day.
1t is a fact that the members tf
the Verein are making sacrifice for
the good of Denison. The opera house
is now paying institution. Within
two years the Indebtedness could hav e
been fully paid, and should no other
opera house be erected. it is fair to
presume that the income would in
crease rather than decrease. The
members realized however that they
were not giving Denison the facilities
to which it is entitled. They did not
feel like building a suitable opera
house themselves. and they did not
wish to stand in the way of others.
1t is hoped that the prellminaries
will be transacted as quickly as pos
sible. The time to build an opera
house is in the summer when the
theatre season is practically closed.
More time can be saved now than lat
ter on. The directors of the Improve
ment Company should act at once, not
next week, but this week. Plans
should be received as soon as possible
and the contract should be let by the
first of May. If this is done the new
building can be ready for occupancy
by November. Building delays otter
cannot be we'll avoided but delays ir
getting things started, can be avoided.
The directors should meet this week.
complete the arrangements for the
transfer of the property and adver.
tise for plans for the new building.
