NEW PLAY ABOUT POLITICS..
The Governor an d the boss" at Lincoln
Square.

The Governor an d the boss" at Lincoln
Square.
The Edna May Spooner stock company
at the Lincoln Square Theatre put on a
brand new play yesterday by way Of variety
between Uncle Toms Cabin and Camille. y
II was called "The Governor and the Boss,
and Guy +. Bragdon and William Postance
we're the authors. As an example Of
drama this play will not ignite the ~neighbor-
ing Hudson, But as a sign Of the times,
as a finger post pointing the way our stage
is tending, it is not insignificant.
For The Governor and the Boss, in its
clumsy, stumbling way, tries to picture
present conditions. IL aims at a kind Of
realism, it very evidently sincerely attempts
to connect with life. During the first act,
indeed. the casual visitor TO the Lincoln
Square Theatre will be surprised by the
quiet development Of a story not unlike
that told in The Man OF the Hour, by the
humor and force Of the Boss and by the
sly fun with which the honest young indie
pendent candidate for Governor Ia exposed
TO view as naively ignorant Of the political
game. This first act, in fact, is well worth
seeing,
In later acts the fate Of Ddrid GfGhdn,
the Independent candidate (who, oddly
enough, was played by an actor named
Phillips), got hopelessly mixed up with a
preposterous story OF seduction and melo-
dramatic villany that was as amusing as 1t
was meant TO he serious; and the fabric Of
the play, further complicated by a trite
and obvious lost daughter motive, became
of no value as drama. Only il always had
the significance Of it's theme, of a play
about present day life that tried seriously
to do something more than present the
eternal sentimental love story. That such
a play can find its way into a popular priced
stock house and get itself az intelligently
played as The Governor and the Boss" is
played, il a hopeful sign. Miss Spooner
and her company deserve a word Of praise
and encouragement.

Des Moines, June 2.-The weekly
weather and crop bulletin, issued by
Director George NJ. Chapel today,
says:
From Monday morning to Friday
night, the temperature was consider
ably above normal, with frequent and
general showers. The rainfall was ex-
cessive; the total for the week at many
stations exceeded the monthly normal.
Continuous rains prevented any field
work being done until Saturday, and
the loss to crops by washing and
floods will be considerable. A great
deal of corn will have to be replanted,
and as a result, there is now nearly
as large as acreage to be planted as
there was two weeks ago. The early
planted fields are becoming very
Weedy, but the more favorable condt-
tons which prevailed during the last
two days afforded an opportunity to
do some cultivating on high and we'll
drained land. All small grain, grass
clover, and potatoes have made rank
growth, but reports indicate that the
condition is good except on low land
where the grain is becoming yellow.

the manner in which Iowa stocllmen

we are the greatest live stock state
and originate more live stock freight
than any other state in the union. rms
is not the stockmen's fight alone, 1t IS
the states fight"

Minneapolis and st. Paul will be ar
eued before the commission Saturday.

Mason City, June 2.-In trying to
save one horse, B. w. Norton, of this
city, was thrown from the back It
! another into Lime creek, yesterday at
ternoon, and was drowned himself.
Norton drove a team for Ernest
Thraves, and at the noon hour left his
team unhitched on the banks of the
stream at the old stone quarries, about
two miles north of the city. One of The
horses, with his harness on, had gone
down into the creek and became en-
tangled in the harness. Norton,
thinking the horse might drown,
stripped the harness from the other
one of his team, and leaping to ais
back went down to rescue the other
horse. When he came near the en-
tangled animal, the beast he rode be-
came frightened and threw his rider
into the stream. Norton was thrown
over the horses head and the animal
lunging, struck him in the breast with
his front hoof. Ernest Thraves, who
saw the accident, said that the last he
saw Of Norton was as he was struck
by the horses hoofs and beaten down
into the water
The authorities were called at ont-e.
and Chief of Police, Sheriff Holdren
and Deputy Sheriff Buchanan went out
to try to find or rescue the man. The
horse escaped unaided from the
stream.
The body Of Norton was found sew
eral rods below where the accident
occurred, and near the west shore,
late in the afternoon. Norton came
here from Dubuque week ago and
went to work for Thraves. He car
ried q union card which was found
in his pocket. Norton has no family
here. Nothing is known of his ante
cedents.

Gutenberg, June 1.-The city coun-
Gil, having given the l. O. o. +. lodge
a permit to put in sewerage system
for their building into the Mississippi
river, the work Of putting in the same
was commenced Wednesday morning.
Since there was quite force of men
working it did not take them long to
have trench three feet deep dug, from
the building to the edge of the river
bank. AT this depth two Indian skele-
tons were found. The first found was
discovered and dug out by Mr.. Fred
Block. Together with the skeleton
many brass trinkets were found, such
as arm bands, rings, ear rings and
crosses. Two peculiarities Of the first
find are that hair was still clinging to
the base of the skull and that one of
the trinkets bore the name Joe" in
printed letters. Pieces of blankets
were also found with both skeletons.
The second found was discovered
some half an hour later than the first
by George Kirch, who engineered the
job OF digging him out so as to get
all of the bones out as perfect as pos
sible. The only thing found with this
one besides pieces of blankets were
numerous small snail shells.
Both skeletons, which were in a fair
state of preservation, together with all
trinkets found, were brought UP to the
public school. Professor Pye will clean
them up and use them to the best adj
vantage in study.
They both lay with their heads to
the west and feet to the east, accord
ing to the known custom of Indians
bu;yins their dead so as to face the
rising sun.

Cedar Rapids several months ago in
company with M. Eta. Grice and OPP
ened a sanatorium at SIS Fourth ave-

by Justice Nugent and is being held
at the city Jail on a charge of attempt

\ ty Attorney Haas and the police are
endeavoring to ascertain the facts In

plicated affair. Boatman Is accused OF
shooting a 32-caliber bullet at Mrs.
Grice, a charge which he denies by
stating that she fired the bullet herself
in order to brighten him into believing
she was trying to kill herself.
The shooting was the result Of a
suit in which they became involved
some time ago when they were part
ners in the magnetic healing business
and started suit against Samuel
Walker which landed them in all
sorts Of trouble Walker had taken
treatments from them to the amount Of
$3.50, which he refused to pay be-
cause of alleged injuries he received
while taking the treatment. The mag
netic healers started suit in Justice
Slcan's court to get the money, and
Walker In turn sued them for $4,000
damages for the alleged injuries and
also started suit for alleged practic-
ing medicine and holding themselves
out to cure disease without having
certificate authorizing them to do so.
The suits for one reason and another
have been postponed from time to time

steering apparatus broke. The engine
was in perfect working order but young
Watson was powerless to steer the
launch out Of the swift flowing cur
rent. The occupants were rescued af-

STOLEN MERCHANDISE FOUND
Mason City Railroad Car Robbers Had
Used Barn as Cache.
Special to Times-Reput

Mason City, June 2.-Various arti-
cles of merchandise stolen by car rob-
bers from cars in the Milwaukee yards
some weeks ago, have been discovered
by the police under one Of the barns
Of the Mason City Transfer & Storage
company, where they had been hidden
by the robbers. The goods included
several dozen pairs Of shoes, a large
number of fine shirts, and several ex-
pensive grips and suit cases. The rob-
bers had used the hiding place under
the barn as cache, intending to re-
turn to get the goods, but they be-
came cognizant of the fact that the po-
lice knew their hiding place and have
not appeared to claim the stolen goods.
