"Under Southern Skies

The appearance of Lottie
Blair Parker's delightful play,
"Under Southern Skies" is an
event that should be looked for
ward to with interest by our
theatre goers.
The company is a large one,
numbering twenty-seven peo-
pie. The scenery is beautiful,
everything used in the repre-.
sentation being carried by the
company. The costuming is
quaint and pretty, the gowns
being of airy summary stuffs,
made in the fashion of 1875,
which is the period of the play.
A Halloween celebration dur
ing which a pumpkin dance is.
introduced, is one of the lively
features of the performance
and never fails to delight an
audience. Beautiful southern
m elodies are introduced
throughout the play with great
effect. The story of the play
is both strong and interesting
and is relieved with much COM
edy which is contributed by the
darby servants and by their
masters and mistresses, who
are of the southern aristocracy.
"Under Southern Skies" is
one of the big successes of re-
cent years and no one who en-
joys a first class play, presented
in a first class manner, should
fail to see ",Uhder Southern
Skies" at Opera House Febru-
arv Is.

Testimonial For Shull

Chicago, Jan. q. The finest
watch that money can buy is
on its way to Boone, Ia, where
Lew" Shull, engineer Of the
Northwestern fast mail train,
lies suffering from severe in
juries. The finest dinner that,
the west can produce is being
prepared for one of the bravest
men who ever threw open an
engine throttle, and friends,
when the doctors say he is able
to enjoy it.
At the dinner high officials
of the Northwestern will tell
"Lew" Shull that not every
man would have saved the fast
mail under the conditions which
he saved it on the night Ct
January 5.
On the night in question
|Shull was a few minutes off
his schedule. He knew, how
ever, where he could make it
up and when he reached the
straight stretch of track leao-
ing into Belle Plaire he pulled
her open another notch and No.
500 went sliding down the
slight grade at an eighty mile
clip.
The monster had scarcely
swung into her gait, however,
when there was the sound of
an explosion and Shull found
himself on the cab floor with
his fireman lying beside him.
Although scarcely able to see
or do anything Shull made a
desperate effort to reach the
throttle. The scalding steam
enveloped him and drove him
back. Shull climbed up the
huge coal pile in the tender
and pounded upon the door Of
the express car. The messen-
ger threw open the door and
Shull found himself looking in
to the barrels of two revolvers.
Shull staggered into the car
and pulled the emergency air,
after which he collapsed to the
floor unconscious.

Bob, the building business in
this country is very good, for
you see this is practically an un-
deve oped country, and there
will be new state made up in
a few years. People up in your
country think that the Indian
Territory is an awful place,
when the fact is that the In
dians are, as a general thing,
just like any other civilized ma
ton, some are good others bad.
There are opportunities here
in the building business that dc
not exist in Iowa. We do a gen
eral business in the line of me-
chanical construction. To give
you some idea of what has been
done here, | will state that since
| came here four years ago, the
town has grown from 1000 to

Remarkable Escape From
Death
From

Logan, Ia, Jan. 27.-His
team of horses cut completely
in two, his wagon smashed to
atoms, not a piece more than
two feet long being left, the
harness cut to shreds and him
self escaping without hardly
any injury, was the experience
of Preston G. Walker, rural
mail carrier on route No. 5, out
of Logan, late Friday evening,
who was struck by a fast ILL
nois Central freight, westbound,
at the east Logan crossing.
Where the wagon crosses the
Illinois Central tracks there are
no gates. On the east side of
the track is a small building in
which the company's pumping
engine is kept and just above
this is the large water tank
Thus an approaching west
bound train cannot be seen
from the east side of the tracks
and as the down-grade is some
what pronounced the trains run
almost noiseless.
Mr.. Walker was driving one
OF the regulation rural delivery
wagons and heard nothing in
dicating the approach of a train4
The engine struck his horses
just as they were crossing the
track, killing them instantly
and striking the wagon.
Walker was thrown nea
thirty feet by the collision a
sustained slight injuries
striking heavily on the hd
frozen ground. His esca
was nothing short of miraci
lous. A number saw the acc
dent and rushed to the seer
expecting to find the carrie
dead, or at least fatally injured
Rural route No. 5 had ii
regular carrier again Saturda
morning as Mr.. Walker starte
out as though nothing unusu,
had happened.

Divorce=Marriage in Quick
Time.
River Sioux Woman divorced
at 1880 Married Again
by l O'Clock D. nj.

Divorce granted at 11-30 a m.
Marriage license issued at IL:
35 a. m.
Married at Loo p. IN.
That is the record Of the fast
est disconnection and reconnec-
ton ever recorded in a Harri-
son county court.
Yesterday morning Mrs. En-
ma Branson appeared before
Judge Wheeler shortly after /
o'clock. She wanted a divorce
from James Branson who she
said married her on the Sth of
August, 1903 and who left her
on the 22nd day of the same
month. This made the fourth
time that she had been divorced.
The other interested party in
this romance was Samuel Pow
ell, who stood in the court room
anxiously awaiting the finding
of the judge. When the Judge
said that Mrs. Branson could be
freed from Mr.. Branson and
the name of Emma Noah re-
stored, she and the waiting
groom decended the stairs d.
rect to the office of Clerk Black
burn and alicense was procured.
Then to the office of Justice
of the Peace Creager and the
bonds were again tied to Mrs.
Branson, or Noah at / o'clock
and she is now Mrs. Powell.
At the October term of 1906,
Powell appeared in court asking
for a divorce which was gran
ted on November IL, 1906.

The Basket Social.

According to notice, the Odd
Fellows and Rebekah's of this
city held their box social at
their hall last evening. Owing
to the cold evening, there were
not so many present as was ex-
pected, but those present had a
most delightful time. The Re-
belSah's had prepared a bount;-
full supply of choice eatab'es in
boxes, with the card of the la
dy who provided it on the in
side, which were sold to tn
highest bidder at auction, and
the purchaser was to have the
honor of eating supper with the
lady whose name was found on
the inside of the box, and any
man who bid on a box prepared
by his wife, to be fined 25 cents
for such offense. The sale re-
allied something over $26.
The object of the social was
to raise a fund to add to the
fund to pay on the tuition of a
daughter of an Odd fellow, who
is attending school in Council
Bluffs and needs the assistance
to complete her education so as
to qualify her to be self sustain
ing and able to teach school at
no distant day. The subject,
and object is commendable, and
while it was confined to Odd
Fellows and Rebekah's alone,
the members who participated
in the same realize that 'sit is
more blessed to give than to re-
ceive."
The only thing to mar the
universal pleasure of the eve
ming was the fact that one
young gentleman, after paying
a high price for a box, found,
when too late, that it did not
contain the magic name of his
lady love, and while we sympa-
thise with him in his mistake.
we rejoice to know that the la
dy accepted his effort to secure
the right box and felt the mis-
take as much as he, and advise
him to "try, try, again"
Mr. w. i. Goodwin established
his reputation as a coffee ma
ker, and all present enjoyed the
fragrant and delicious beverage
the result of his labor.
After all had enjoyed the
supper, the tables were remov-
ed and the company proceeded
to enjoy a social dance. If any
suppose Bro. j. e. Jones has
forgotten how to dance they
ought to have seen his grace
full stepping to the lively music
last evening, and he was not
the only enc who enjoyed the
occasion, but space forbids our
naming all who Joined in the
dance. Those who failed to at
tend the box social will always
regret their failure, and those
who were present will always
regard it as one Of the most en-
joyable occasions of their lives.

The chief cause of Catarrh is the suppress.
