NOT UP TO EXPECTATIONS
Only Fair Performance Given Last
Night at Park Theatre
BY Helen Byron


Sergeant kitty" the military
comic opera was disappointing to
many people who sat in the large
audience at the Park opera house last
night. There is no question but what
the attraction fell far below expec-
tations. It was more of farce COM
edy than of comic opera and there
was more than little bit Of horse
play in evidence in each of the two
acts
Grand Junction has been treated to
some excellent comis operas and
musical comedies this season among
which were THE Girl and the Ban
dit" eThe Sultan OF sulu," and the
Little Duchess" The attraction last
night was far beneath any of these
attractions
Helen Byron is dainty and
charming little lady. She sings we'll
and her mannerisms are very cute
and pretty. there Is but little room
for complaint regarding Kitty" her
self. There we're two good coined
Ians in the cast. Tom Hadaway was
immense as Clestin. the monkey like
orderly. He was certainly one OF
the most gotesque and comical char
acters seen on the local stage in along
time. His facial makeup. his ever
present terror of being pounced upon
by some one, his 'limberness and
slenderness. and his numerous other
quaint mannerisms and funny droll,
made him genuine laugh producer.
Jacques. the captain. played by ]. Nc
EIhern. was a pleasing character. He
was always entertaining. He made
the greatest hit with his mimicry and
impersonation stunt in the second act
when he was recalled for or five tim
es. His comic songs were rich too.
Miss FerroI Desmond. a very hand
some young woman, possesses a sweet
voice and solos we're among the best
musical numbers Of the evening.
Some of the most catchy songs
we're Buy. Buy Come and Buy"
True Love Lives only in Our
Dreams THE One I Love the Best
Gave that to Me. Strange Things
Happen Every day. tNenon's Father
Doesn't Seem to Mind" "Oh Kitty. -
and War g.
The chorus was not very good look
ing and was very weak from i sing
ing standpoint but the girls. most Of
them were exceedingly strong from a
fieshy standpoint. The male voices
we're poor.
Charles Major. who took the part
OF the old general, possesses u magni-
ficent baritone voice and his numbers
we're delightful.
There was good deal OF rough
comedy and now and then there was
pinch of rank coarseness. Still
there were some bright lines. and
some exhiIerating situations. The ex-
ceileut work of Kitty. the captain and
Clesten made up for many of the
sins of commission and omission on
the part of the others.
The company was not as large as
expected. numbering less than thirty
people Miss Byron wore some pret-
ty and stunning costumes but the
chorus fell down in this particular.
The scenery was very good. The drill
of Sergeant Kitty and her company
OF soldiers in the last act was one of
the best features.
AS "A comic opera Sergeant Kitty
is not entitled TO much consideration
but as a rough and tumble musical
farce it was all right
We have next Quincy Adams Saw

ed by a good company.

Plans Now on Foot to Make
Iowa's Largest River a Nav
igable Stream
SPECIAL TYPE OF BOAT
keosauqua Man Has Scheme Whereby
Two and One Half Feet Of Water
Would be Required-Effort Will Be
Made to Interest Iowa Congressional.
Delegation.
Special to times Republican.

SDeClaI to lnsS-RepuDllCdH.
Keosauaua, Aug. "a plan is on
foot to make the Des Moines river
navigabie stream again. This idea mas
been developed by w. E. Fosnot OF
Keosauuua, who has made a deep study
Of shallow water navigation. MI
Fosnot of keosauqua operates Jew"
elry store in Van Buren, county's cap
ital city. but leaves 1t for his son to
conduct For the past four years ne
has owned and operated the Lake Weir
line of boats in Florida and still runs
them. The lake is six miles long anu
four miles wide with a sandy shore.
His boats are so constructed that be
can land his barges with big loads IN
two feet of water.
Mr.. Fosnots plan for operating
boats on the Des Moines river is so to
construct the vessel that they cou
easily pass under the stationary
bridges that span The stream at vari-
Gus points between Ottumwa md
Keokuk He limits the distance up
the river TO Ottunlwa for the reason
that dam obstructs the river at that
point If locks could be put in at
this dam then the boats could be run
up 10 Des Moines.
MIR. Fosnot asserts that boats are
now being constructed that will car
ry 200 ton loads in water not more
than two and one half feet deep. The
idea Is to separate the power boat
from the carrying boat or barge. The
barge being flat bottomed does not
draw much water. The hull of the
power boat can be made so as to have
sort Of tunnel arrangement where
by the propelling screws can be made
to stand up so as to extend but tribe
below the hull, which would also be
fiat bottomed.
The improved form of boiler could
be used to operate one hundred horse
power engines on power boat that
would draw no more than two aid
one half feet of water This would be
ample power to convey two hundred
ton loads down the river and sufficient
to bring back the boats with lighter
loads than when going down.
The plan of boat building Mr.. Fos-
not describes is such that a guarantee
could be given that such boats, in
GLIDING power boats and barges, could
pass underneath all the bridges now
spanning the stream. He says the
barges should not be more than 100
feet long each; that one power boat
could easily push two of such barges
along. The style of boiler used by Mr..
Fosnot on his Florida power boat is
such that there is no danger of ex-
plosion.
II, is proposed to interest both the
state and the government officials in
the project. Mr.. Fosnot says that he
will write letters to each of the Iowa
congressman to see if they cannot help
pLSh the matter along.

UNKNOWN MAN ENDS LIFE.
Tracks Found Leading to Slough Near
Clinton, Reveal Suicide.

Special to TimeS-Republlcan.
Clinton. Aug. 6.-Beaver slough was
the scene of suicide by drowning
yesterday, but the body of the UNI
known man who thus ended his life
had not yet been found at last reports.
Peter Dallering, employed at the Robb
rendering works, heard the sound of
body falling into the slough and
found tracks leading to the slough,
where a willow tree trunk overhangs
the water. A hat was found on the
bank of the river close by.
A thick growth of underbrush pre-
vented the Clinton factory man from
seeing the man go into the river, and
no one saw the act. Hearing the
splash, however, he followed the tracks
to the bank, and found the water
greatly agitated, as tho a heavy body
had just fallen into it. He could not
see anybody in the river.
The hat is being held, in the hope
that it will throw light on the identity
Of the suicide in case search for the
body proves unavailing. 1t is of the
size of 7A, gray in color of Mallory
manufacture, and was sold by Ober-
miller Bros, who have stores in Ster-
ing and Ctalena, III. Evidently the hat
was sold in one of those two stores.
