Too Realistic.

During a performance of "Captain
Lapalisse" at a Valencia theater some
years ago an incident occurred which
for lifcliEc effect left nothing to be de.
sired. During the said play some of
the actors minglc with the spectators
in order to cooperate from the body
of the house No sooner had Miralles,
the actor, taken his seat in the stalls
than a daring pickpocket robbed hin,
OF his gold watch. Mirallcs seized the
man by his coat collar and called out
In q deep bass voice:
"Police! Help. Thieves!"
The audience. taking this little cpl
sode to be part of the performance.
roared with laughter. Even the police
men Joined in without stirrirS hand OF
foot
''rhis is no farce" cried the actor
in tones of despair 1.-THE fellow has
got my watch.'
The voice sounded so natural that
the audience broke into loud applause
at "such excellent fooling." Meanwhile
the thief managed to break away from
his cap.or and escaped.

were able to secure this high
class show was very fortunate
indeed. This was the third APP
pearence of the Lyman Twins
in this city and they far surpas
sed any previous performance.
New scenery, new costumes
new songs and new jokes
have been added all of which

most lucky thing that could be-
fall a person. One thing that
was decidedly noticeable Sat
urday evening was the amount
of applause which the patrons
of the Mo Valley theatre have
been very shy Of giving hereto

performance Mr.. Dawson, man.
ager of the Harrison made a
very appropriate speech, the
main theme of which was
"boost for MO Valley" He
was very optomistic about Mo.

the idea, that every one should
pull together and in a short
time this city will be one of the
most thriving towns in Iowa.
He also mentioned that the
best shows on the road would
be booked for his theatre and
it certainly is up to the people
of this city to support it. The
theatre has been remodled, and
its new frescoeing, makes a
very decided improvement in
the appearance of the building.
However, the improvements
are not all finished and when it

FOR FLETCHER'S
e a 3 T Q RIA

The occupants of the Miller
Hotel had a lively time for a
few minutes this morning,
with what threatened to be, a
serious fire. The gasoline
stove in the store.room explod-
ed and threw the burning oil
over the contents in the room.
But by using a little presence
of mind, Mrs. Heckert exiting
uished the fire by throwing
several pieces of bed c'ct| ng
over the flames. The loss will
be about $50. Howev r they
consider them selves lucky that
it wasn't a great deal more.

through life.
He made the trip across the

ssBoost"

The sky was overcast at six
this morning but as soon IS old
Sol saw that the Boosters ms ant
business he gladly dispelled the
clouds and came cut smiling
and bright.
Boosters to the number of
about one hundred gathered in
front Of the Post Office and
then the cars came streaming
in to get their final decorations
and directions. At about $50
the stragglers were all picked
up and after a few selections
by the band the procession
started with twenty machines
and a hundred men.
Each man was armed with
bills, cards, posters, tin cups,
lead pencils, etc, everything to
advertise the Fair and incident
ally their own business. 1t Ger
tainly was a happy crowd and
also one that was out to do the
most good.
Stops were made at Loveland
Honey Creek, Grabil, California
Jet, Modale, Mondamin, River
Sioux, Little Sioux, OrSon, Mag
nolia and Calhoun.
The band played at each
stop and the Boosters called on
all the merchants in the towns
distributing their sovenlrs
a nd literature. 7 h e. trip
for the first day was a decided
success and did lots of good for
the Fair and merchants.
Notes of the Tour
Arthur Martin was a little
late in starting, owing to
the blowing out of a tire yes
terday and the non.arriva] of
another tire until the eight
O'Clock train this morning.
He made fast time when he
did get to going.
Frank Zahner caught tie

today.
DR.. White, eighty years old,
enjoyed the Booster trip as
much as anyone.
The Times car blew out a
tire near Mobiles Lake while on
the Booster tour and had to re-
turn to town, but we're going
tomorrow just the same.
They adjourned school at
Loveland so the children could
get the Booster spirit.
The gumbo roads were in
fairly good shape.
Every farm yard that the
Boosters passed was full of PEG.
ole, many coming in from the
fields.
