Theatre goers in this city will
soon have the pleasure of witnessing
the big musical hit of last season,
THE Cat and the Fiddle" which
comes to the Grand on Tuesday eve
ming, Sept. 9Th.
The critics pronounce this attrac-
ton as being one of the seasons
best-the very essence of musical
comedy. extravaganza, vaudeville,
etc., and stated it was fully equal to
any of the past Broadway successes,
THE Wizard of o." Babes in Toy
land and later THE Top O. the
World"
Practically the same big cast that
was seen last season including Har-
ry B. Watson, the Boylans, Rose
and Arthur, and big beauty chorus
are promised. The production is all
new and very elaborate this season.
The big song hits which are so
whistly and airy are Rosy Dreams, -

BURGLARIES AT MABEL.
Several Houses Ransacked in Our
NeighbOring Town Last Week.

Last Wednesday morning the
town was much excited over the
news handed around of two burg
laries being committed during the
night; someone entering the house
of NJ. c. Christopherson and that OF
John N. Johnson, securing about
$500 in cash at either place NJ.
Walhus' residence was also entered
but the intruder was frightened
away before he was able to secure
any plumber. A suspicious looking
character was apprehended Wednes-
day morning boarding the train at
Newhouse and riding as far as
Spring Grove where he escaped Off
GERS who attempted to put him I'M
der arrest. Again on Thursday
evening between the hours of seven
and eight o'clock while the family
was out the residence of c.. d. Taber
was ransacked and relieved of
$71.00, $4,000 of which belonged
TO Mr.. Taber's hired man, Albert
Rygg, the balance, eleven dollars,
that of Mrs. Taber's. That the
burglar was trained to do fast and
diligent work seems evident as moth
ing in the way of trunks, grips. bu-
reau drawers, pockets in garments,
etc, seemed to escape his eye. Just
as we go to press we learn of a box

ties at Spring Grove on suspicion

Calamities That Never Come.

1t beats the Dutch and others the
way poor mortals suffer on account
of calamities which never touch
them The first week in June We
were scared to death because there
wouldn't be any oats tall enough,
unless it rained, so that the binder
could catch it. 1t didn't rain, but
we harvested the best crop of oats
we have had for years. Then the
corn was all going to burn up If it
didn't rain soon. But the rain came
and saved the corn, which now
promises 10 per cent of an average
crop, and We'll have much good
fodder. But while we are writing
we hear some one say: I'VE are not
yet out of the woods. If frost comes
before Sept. 25th, the corn will not
amount to much" When it comes
to worrying over imaginary misfor-
tunes we are mostly set of FOOLS

The duck season is at hand, which
means that all nimrods will get out
their trusty old firearms, look them

The season opens tomorrow, Sept

You may kill per day fifteen
ducks, ten geese, ten brant, twenty

1t is declared that the young duck
has never been more numerous than
at this time, but the water has never
been so scarce. This means an i'm
mediate revival of both, or complete
elimination of all the young ducks
and the remaining vestige of water
A part of section one of the game
law is:
And it shall be unlawful to hunt
kill, entrap, ensnare or attempt to
kill, hunt, or ensnare, entrap or
otherwise destroy any wild goose
duck, brant (mud hem, rail or other
water fowl at any time from the

tween the sunset of any day and the

Harry Wilkinson, who conducts a
chicken farm on the outskirts of
Des Moines, lost valuable cow
Wednesday night when the animal
broke into the chicken pen and
stumbled over the shot gun which
had been placed in readiness for
chicken thieves. A string attached
to the trigger of the loaded gun
was strung about the yard. The
weapon, of the old muZzle loader
style, was well filled with shot.
When the COW got entangled in the
gun something happened and Will
kinson and his hired man investi-
gated to find the family milk pro-
wider dead instead of the chicken
