A rare musical treat is in store We'd

gs.tional church for those who enjoy
the high art in music, the occasion be-
ing the appearance of U. S. Kerr. as

The Beethoven club" of Albert Lea
gives gala concert yearly; following
is notice of their last concert:
"An audience which comfortably
filled the auditorium, gathered We'd
nesday evening to hear U. S. Kerr, the
basso cantante, and were we'll repaid
for their effort. From the opening num-
Der, "Kypris," in French, down thru
the whole program, to the Toreador
song from Carmen Mr. Kerr won
round after round of applause, and was
compelled to repeat the last part of the
fiery, enthusiastic Bizet composition
before the audience would be satisfied.
His work shows careful study and
hard work, and the enthusiastic com
1endations of the audience told plainly
the story of his good work. Did he re-
turn within month no hall in the city
would contain the crowd who would
want to hear him.

Sensational Developments OF
Thieving on Gigantic Scale
Are Made
SUSPECTS HELD TO GRAND JURY
o. F. Goodenoush, Arch FIeharty and
Fred Baude.s Are Held Under Bonds
to Await Grand Jury's Investigation
More Sensational Developments
Are Expected.

Following the arrest of o. f. Good
enough, Arch Fleharty and Fred Bau-
der, at Monmouth, ILL.,, charged with
stealing merchandise from Iowa Cen
trail cars, sensational developments of
thieving on most gigantic scale were
exposed by Edward E. Helm, chief
special agent for the company. Follow
ing the arrest merchandise Of value
of several hundred dollars was recov-
cred, and it is believed that even more
sensational developments, and addi-
tional arrests will follow.
Two Of the men arrested are former
employees of the company. All three
waived examination and were held to
the grand jury under $500 bonds.
Believe Many Implicated.
1t is declared that with the evidence
already in hand the revelations of the
extensive system of thieving, which
has been going on the Illinois division
of the line from Peoria to Keithsburg,
and especially in the vicinity of Mon
mouth and Abingdon, will be almost
unbelievable 1t lis claimed that mer-,
chandise Of b value of approximately
$4,000 has been taken from the cars In
transit each month.
4 Find "Fence" in Goodenoush Home.
Following the arrest Of o. E. Good
enough, his home was searched and IN
the cellar was found wagon loads OF
stolen merchandise. This find included
5000 packages of cigarets, and all
kinds Of merchandise, including cases
Of whisky, two barrels of lard and a.
large quantity Of tobacco and cigars.
It is claimed that of the merchan-
disc stolen, most of it has been dis
posed of in Monmouth, and that only
such merchandise as could be readily
sold was taken. 1t is also claimed that
one saloon in Monmouth, has received
practically all Of its stock from the
thieves or their agents.
Claim Employees implicated.
It is claimed that many present and
past employees of the company are I'M
plicated. The knowledge of the oper-
alton of trains that these men had. it
is said, made it possible to carry on
the raiding Of merchandise cars with
out detection. It is suspected trainmen
who are implicated helped make the
stealing easy. 1t is even claimed that
much Of the MERCHANDISE was unloaded
from moving trains and thrown into the
right of way where it was gathered up
and taken away. Much of the loot was
taken from merchandise cars, while
they were in the Monmouth yards,
Nonrno,1t1, IL the junction point thru
which passes practically all OF the mer-
chandise the Central receives from
Chicago.

During the interim between the fire

which it was accomplished, is without
parallel or precedent in it's line In the
history of the state of Michigan.

day evening, Jan. 10, at the Odeon. and

Dixon and Bernard's position among
the exponents Of comedy is second to
none. Their position is in the very
front rank. and having established
themselves at local theater the
show becomes one of the really
important events of the sea-
son, to those who are fond Of
laughter, and to the better class Of
theatergoers. None of the comedians
make their points SO effectively ard
with less apparent effort than Dixon
and Bernard. There is no exaggeration
about their work. 1t is natural in the
extreme. and without raising THAR
voices about the- ordinary CONVERSE
tional limit, their audience never lose
a word they are saying. Prices rs, IS,
