DRAINAGE of wet land in Iowa will
receive more attention this year than
ever before. Wonder if they are able
to make these improvements down

THE main appropriation bill now in
course OF construction by the state
Legislative committee contains, at press
ent, applications for appropriations
totaling over $l4, 100000, exceeding any
amount ever before asked of the legis-
lature. This would require tax levy
of 25 mills. There seems to be a per-
feet craze to waste the public money.

FIRST ATTRACTION.
Coburn's Greater Minstrels Will
Open Season at City Opera House
Thursday September 26.

The theatrical season at the Capital
theatre was formerly opened last
night by the presentation OF j. A.
Coburn's Greater Minstrels, which is
the company succeeding to the name
and fame of the great Barlow Min
strels. And it might be added after
witnessing their splendid perfor-
nance last night that if anything,
Mr.. 'Coburn has collected troupe of
artists who are if anything, still bet
ter in their presentation than was
ever the great Barlow company.
With his sextet Of fun makers
Dan Holt, Billy Morris, Joe Dun
leavy, Tommy Calvin, Billy Cummins
and Roy Peek, Mr.. Coburn mas team
that would be hard to duplicate in
any company, and should prove a
good mine to him during the season.
From start to finish these "funny
men, had the audience on the wing
with them and kept them convulsed
throughout. The theatre was packed
to the doors for this first presentation
and everyone after the curtain had
rung down on the closing number had
something nice to say Of the show.
The numerous feature of the min
strelsy is not the only strong point
shown last night, however, for few
plays Of any character have ever been
seen here which presented such all
abundace Of high music. Several of
the songs were Of the most appealing
character. and went right to the heart
of the sudience.
The jokes offered were out Of the
ordinarN-they were clean and new
and as such came as sweet refresh
iny shower where so many chestnuts
have grown stale and dried being
handed out from time to time.
For the olio part of the perform
ance, the two strong men entitled
Jules and Maroon we're par excellent,
doing stunts Of strength and dexter
ity never seen here before. Every
one praised their work, and in fact
was well pleased with every feature
Of the second part.
Mr.. Coburn is a manager who un-
derstand his business and if he keeps
his company up to its present high
standard will keep right in the front
of the procession.
Coburns minstrels will appear at
the Newberry opera house, Thursday
night, September 26.

Der 335. at 9 clock. The change has

the Lutheran conference.
At these exercises it IS expected
that the pastors Of the various
churches cf the city will be present
and extend to the new as well as to
the old students warm words Of well

For many years Chief Justice Pope
has also been an interested visitor at
these opening exercises, and now that
the date has been changed from the

exercises are public. and all who are
interested and nave opportunity are
invite'i TO BE- present.
The prospects for a good opening

Edward VII Arbiter Of Peace.

Paris Grande Revue.
Great Britain, or, rather, King Ed
ward VII, has taken the dictatorship
of European policy. He has become
the arbiter. That he works for peace
no one can doubt, but that his policy
tends INCREASINGLY to strengthen the
power and security Of his own country
is still more certain. We are thus led
to believe that in relinquishing his at
titude of hostility, as much personal
as patriotic, toward William II, he
calculates in advance the benefits
that would accrue to Great Britain.
