IS NOT OBJECTIONABLE

Manager Abel OF Dodge's theater
announces that the picture of the
Andersonville prison will positively be
shown soon regardless of the reports
circulated around town and condemns
the criticism published in yesterdays
Constittuion-D Democrat 1t is true that
the picture has aroused stir in the
south but that is many miles from
Keokuk.
The kalem company has produced
film under this subject which de-
serves long life and should be seen
everywhere. since it will have the mer-
it of fixing more firmly in the minds of
the younger generations some OF the
facts concerning the sufferings OF
those engaged in the Civil war and it
will undoubtedly arouse in the minds
of many desire to know more about
tie struggle and what it cost. This
| film shows graphically the horrors of
the prison pen, then 1T represents the
construction of tunnel through which
| the prisoners might escape, the sol
diers at liberty after they have COM
pleted their tunnel and have crawled
through it, the flight through the
swamp with the swamp itself repro
! duced accurately THE finding of a
northern sympathizer, who assisted
| them and the pursuit of the locomo
tive. Here ones nerves grow tense
under the influence of the gradually
lessening space between the two 10
comotives, but the breaking down OF
the confederate engine enables the
4 Federal soldiers to escape. An
other dramatic situation de
velopes when orders are tele
graphed ahead to blow up the
bridge under the fugitive engine. TIE
explosion occurs according to orders
but it is too late. The engine has pass
cd over the mine before 1t explodes
and the locomotive still moves for
ward. Then the film closes with 9
homecoming which warns the hear
and brings tears to the eyes. 1t would
be difficult to select any particular
scene in this film as being better thar
others. They are all good and the,
all suggest many other scenes which
render the film more interesting be
cause of this unseen influence. Some
times the visions which accompany &
film of this character are fully as in
teresting as the film itself. So fal
| as the details are concerned, the
writer saw the film in company with
a soldier. who said he believed It was
as nearly accurate as 1t could be made
now. The scenes seemed to him tt
portray what ne had been told regard
i ing such escapes and pursuits, witt
unusual fidelity, and the photograph,
is good in the main. The film is wei
worth running for its historical value
to say nothing of the sentiment which
will be aroused by its exhibition.

The starch contained
in the wheat and barley

method as this process
is carried on in the hui

FunSwiing.

The newspaper announcement is day two
late but this incident only serves to emphasize and
to magnify the importance OF daily tour through
The Fair
There's always constant procession of agree
able surprises being sprung for the advantage OF
Fair Store patrons, and it's common thing for
these surprises to be crowded out of advertising
space.
Consider, for instance, this special sale OF
Thanksgiving Linens Everybody knows that prices
advancing with hop, skip and jump They
are simply soaring to beat the band. Nevertheless,
in the face of phenomenal price advances, The
Fair makes phenomenal price reductions in accord
with Fair Store custom at this season of the
year. It's just like this: Fine Linens for The
Fair contracted many months ago de-
clining market. The price concessions, therefore,
make this sale especially interesting, and there
will be some pretty lively doings in The Fair Store
Linen Department for few days.
The east window affords splendid idea of
the bargains that await the shrewd seeker after
high values in lovely lustrous Linens
