THEATRICAL SEASON
 OPENS UP VEL Ninety and Nine" Draws Standing Room Only
 Crowd on First
 Night. AT NEW HAVEN THEATER Attractive Playhouse Presented by Manager George B.
 Bunnell.
AT NEW HAVEN THEATER

The theatrical season of 1907-OS open ed last night at the New Haven the- atre and was marked by house filled to the doors Not only the cool wea- ther of the week but the real merit and attractions of the play, Ninety and Nine made for the success of the open- ing night
 This is the fifth season of the rural comedy drama, and its presentation last night was witnessed by the author, Ramsay Morris, and the producer, J. D. Barton, both of whom were well pleased and gratifed with the auspic- ious beginning of their season.
 Situated in little village of Indiana where quaint, big heated country folk live out their lives of peaceful industry opportunity was offered for some startling scenic effects, some whole hearted portrayals, and these were ta- ken advantage of with good effect.
 Miss Eileen O'Malley as Ruth Blake was the distinct hit of the evening scoring upon the sympathy and admir- ation of her large audience. The part of Tom sllverton, a stranger in Mar low was well taken by Edmund Flaig.
 Running down through the cast of characters it is hard to pick out any one who failed to show an apprecia- tion of the vital points of his or her 1 lines, but special credit is due Frank Battin as Abner Blake, Marlow's lead- ing citizen to Mark Beveridge as in- terpreted by J. Irving Southard; to Sam Grant, the colored comedien, George Davis; and to the transplanted New York kid, Reddie, in which part Joe Wilkes made good.
 The big scene where the locomotive dashes across the stage into tunnel, the flames faring, and the whole rightly called through hell fire" is the startling big act of the play, and leaves the audience keyed up to high pitch, awaiting the final act,
 Through five years the play retains it's popularity, and needs no narration of the story If the play has not been seen 1t will be well worth spending one of the two evenings left at the New Haven theater There will also be a Wednesday matinee,
 The play house itself is an attrac- ton. It was matter of pride to the popular and successful manager, G. B. Bunnell, to greet friends last evening. Great as was his pleasure he failed lat the critical moment to make a speech of welcome in response to re- paated calls for him. But he promises to do better next time
 The house has been thoroughly rem ovated to make it attractive and ap- ealing to the eye. Not only is it at tractive but the electric wiring has been made absolutely safe so that the least danger of fire has been provided against
 Mir. Bunnell is to be congratulated and will no doubt be rewarded by the patronage of the theatergoing public,

was made, which disclosed that such
was not the case Ever since then the
friends and officers have never relented
a moment in their efforts to locate the
old gentleman's relatives. Even a pho

Waterloo, May S.--An appeal to the
consuls of the Austrian government and
the government of the United States
has resulted in securing the first def
mite positive information regarding the
mysterious Croatian immigrant, var
iously known as Peter Uzelac, Theo-
dore Yaleb and Petrovitz Uzelac. w.
II. Jennish yesterday received from
Richard kaiseD well known travelling
man of Peoria, H., who is also a ma
tive of Croatia, translation of certain
correspondence which has passed be-
tween the consul general of Austro-
Hungary at Chicago and the govern
mept officials across the sea. The
government took the pains to send a
representative to visit Mr.. Uzelac's
wife and gain from her the first def
mite information that the Waterloo
friends have received regarding the
old mans relatives and their location
in this country; that a son, Spiro, oth-
erwise known as lila, came to Amer
lea year ago last March, and his pres
ent address is with a railroad gang
near Elgin (altho in the letter the word
Elgin is spelled Algin), Union county,
Oregon. Union county is in the north
east corner of the state. The letter
also states that another son, Dane,
left the old country for America March
3. 1907. His address is not given and
it Is presumed that he is with his older
brother in Oregon.
The consul general wishes to thank
the people of Waterloo on the part
of the emperor and the royal family of
Austro- Hungary for the interest taken
in this foreign immigrant who landed
here among strangers, unable to speak
word Of our language or communi-
cate his thoughts except in pantomine
and an occasional word or phrase to
those who came from the same prov
ince.
It will be remembered that Richard
Kaiser first saw notice of the imni
grants condition in Chicago paper.
He has been making Waterloo for sew

next trip he would visit the old gem
leman and try to talk with him. This

Iowa City, May s.-For the first time
In the history Of the state university
OF Iowa, the cadet battalion of the uni
versity has been taken out on al camp
ing march during which regular army
maneuvers were employed to acquafn'
them with army life. The direction OF
the expedition has been In the hands OF
Col. Weeks of the battalion. He has
been accompanied by Mai. R. p. How
ell, Capt. George Ball and Lieut.. Snap
per Spinden, of the Iowa National
Guard. The regulars were forced to
march on foot. The officers secured
horses for themselves The commissary
department was moved in wagons and
the hospital equipment had an auto
mobile
The naneuvers were carried out in
the country north Of Iowa City. Cedar
Rapids was supposed to be in the pos
session OF an hostile army called the
sYellows," who were attempting to
capture Iowa City. The Fellows were
supposed to have sent out detach-
smerlt as far as Mahaffa bridge, about
fifteen miles north. The university
battalion, called the Reds, advanced
from Iowa City, and camped at night
at q point nine miles north and six
miles from the supposed outpost OF the
enemy.
A company of the battalion was sent
out ahead to represent the YeHows, and
the following day the Red army slowly
advanced in the direction of North
Liberty, where the opposing forces met
that afternoon There were series of
skirmishes during the afternoon, in
which the Yellow forces had the best
OF It, and the Red troops were forced to
retreat to point three miles south Of
North Liberty.
The following day the Red army adj
vanced to the Mahaffa bridge, twelve
miles north of the city. where they
were notified that Iowa City had fallen
into the hands of the Fellows. They
Immediately started for Iowa City,
where they met the detachment of
Yellows at the Iowa avenue bridge over
the Iowa river. The two forces en-
gagged at this point, finally resulting in
4 victory for the Red forces. The COM
pany carried their own provisions and
carried their own camping equipment,
10 that the march was in every respect
.imilar to the march Of a company in
lctual war time. Col. Weeks declares
that trips of this kind do more to
awaken a liking for military work in
The minds of the cadets than any
AMOUNT OF drill.
