-Ottumwa Courier: A large fleet
passed through Ottumwa yesterday,
going down the Des Moines river to
keokuk and then into the Mississippi
The fleet consisted of five large
houseboats and ten people made up
the party The fleet only stopped in
Ottumwa about one hour and a half
while the boats were sent over the
dam, and they continued on their
Journey down the river. During the
stop in Ottumwa the party took break
last on Turkey island. The object
OF the trip down the river was to find
mussel shells, but the voyagcrs had
been unsuccessful thus far. The par
ty embarked on the river above Des
MONIES and thus far had a successful
voyage downward having very little
difficulty in floating down the stream.
Good time was made down the river
and those on the boats were very en-
thusiastic about the navigability of
the stream. In order to allow their
boats TO cross the big dan, IT was
necessary to unload all the cargo on
the banks while the large boats were
sent over the artificial rapids, II took
about an hour TO accomplish his task
me boats We're then loaded and the
party continued on their cruise down
the stream.

%BUR[EsQUE
COMING BACK
To OPERA HOUSE

The demand for burlesque shows in
Hammond is so great that the manage
ment of Towle's Opera House has de-
cided to book shows of this character
in the future. AS a result the Monte
Carlo Girls will appear here Saturday
night.
Manager Manderback would rather
book none but high clasr attractions
here, but he is faced with the necessity
of making the house pay and there is
no getting away from the fact that a
high class drama will draw a quarter
of a house, a musical comedy half a
house, while burlesque show is packing
the house.
One OF the burlesque shows which
appeared in his city last year was so
rotten that even those who came to
see the show. knowing what it was.
went away Disguised and the criticism
of the management was SO great that
it was finally decided to book no more
of them.
This decision has been re-conssl-
cred, however, in view of the fact that
! the public will not patronize the bet
ter class of shows and burlesque will
soon be a feature of the attractions at
Towle's.
Another thing thu entered into the
matter is the fact that good shows are
scarce this year. Manager lander
back says that he ought TO book at
least twelve shows a month in Ham
mond, and that only three have been
booked for December, thus far.
This makes it necessary to put in a
burlesque show once in a While. even
If it is obnoxious to a portion of the
theatergoing public. Manderback says,
however. that the managers of these
shows will be made to understand that
they are to keep within the bounds of
decency.

To the EDITOR
viii you allow a voter, who makes !
no pretension to extraordinary political
aoumen. but who is simply one with
many others who have to pay the bills
of our political results, whether they be
good or evil-to ask for a little en-
lightenment IN the theories advanced
by the Hon. ]. B. Peterson in the re-
cent campaign?
Mr.. Peterson claims in his speech in
Valparaiso. that in one brief year he
will nave mastered the details of gov
tariff especially. to an extent that will
eclipse the present incumbent's four
teen years experience. This is indeed
a surprising statement as have al
ways had considerable respect for our
present representatives mental attain
ments. However the question inn
mediately arises in my mind-perhaps
the Hon. Mr.. Peterson is too astute.
If he should do such wonderful things
in one brief year-that hitler to the
best minds have conceded took years
of accumulated expert knowledge, I
would fear for the seat in the White
House. and personally | am jealous of
that place for the Hon. Theodore
Roosevelt. / will concede that years
of training under the banner of the
Standard Oil and the Steel Trust would
brighten a mans intellect to a large
degree but I would like your individual
judgment on the matter before coming
to a definite conclusion.
Again. Mr.. Peterson dwells with
pride upon his being a banker and a
farmer Ct understand he owns several
farms) that he is of Swedish and Irish
origin (Which is very naively put), and
that he would give every soldier 81
per day, If he should be elected. This
is indeed very consoling to all the
classes Mr.. Peterson tries to include.
In the same breath, moreover. Mr.
Peterson claims that his brother is in
the Soldiers Home and that If he only
had that 81 per day he would be able
to come out of the home and live as
he should. This is indeed pathetic. ]
am a little unsettled in my mind how
ever as to whether Mr.. Petersons
beneficenee personally as a banker
has not yet reached his brother In
helping him to some better place with
out waiting for the slow process OF
his election-to his own home for in
stance-because this brother happens
to be a Republican, or whether this
theory he advances is SO bran new that
he has not had time to try it.
Several small ineongruities appear
that leave me still on the other side
of the fence-in other words the bait is
not quite genuine enough to induce me
to cross over, unless the HONORABLE;
gentleman can clear the above state6
mysteries. also fear that the though
