ADJUSTMENTS.

After making good in the hardest
kind of weather, subjecting the dang
ers of the severest critics in both New
York and Chicago, Bailey and Austin,
the erstwhile top-notchers in vaude-
vile, are now introduced after two
seasons of probation as full-fiedged
stars in the fantastical comedy, The
Top O. tn World for the immense
success of which they were in great
measure responsible, and which comes
to the Grand for two performances,
tomorrow. A better guarantee OF the
merits of the attraction is the two
long engagements in New York city
at the Majestic and Casino theatres,
which was followed by several months
at the Studebaker theatre, Chicago.
With seventy-odd people, unique
book, clever lyrics, music of the bright
and catchy sort, dances that appeal
and big whirly, singing and dancing
chorus is the nucleus of the only legi-
innate success to "The Wizard of Or,
which brought opportunities, and after
ward fame, to Montgomery and Stone.
The piece is il two acts with three
scenes, viz: Christmas Land, Pass in
the Mountains and the Palace OF
| Queen Aurora Borealis on the plaza in
the City of Illusia. There is a plot
which concerns Shellman "a parody on
Wellman, who started out to find the
north pole in balloon), toy maker;
a little girl who wants to grow up i'm
mediately; Jack Frost, the villain OF
the north pole regions; two friendly
Esquimaux. all bound round with the
thread of a story worked out in ar
ingenius way in this new style extrav
aganza. There are numerous song
hits and dances and the famous col
lie ballet. Six young ladies and 81,
dogs go through series of graceful
movements, and the pretty animals en-
joy their work as thoroughly as do the
girls.

KEOKUk GROCERS
TO have DAY
rs~s..
;is:w~ts
VIII Go In Large Body on Wednesday,
May 4, to Have Big Day at
State Convention in
Burlington
PLANS ARE BEING MADE
Burlington is Preparing to Royalty
Entertain Grocers From all
Over State During First
Week in May.

Wednesday, May 4, will be Keokuk
day at the state convention of retail
grocers, to be held in Burlington dur
ing the first week of the coming
month. Speaking of the arrangement
the Burlington Hawk-Eye says:
The Burlington Retail Grocers' asso-
citation is very busy now with the ar
rangements for the big state conven-
ton. which is to be held here the first
week in May, and which promises to
be one of the largest and best con-
ventions ever held by the association.
State Secretary Ira Thomas of Des
Moines was in the city last evening,
attended the meeting of the local as
sociation, and assured the members
that the prospects are excellent. State
Organizer John Navil is boosting the
convention and encouraging reports
have been received from many points.
Thus Davenport is coming in a spe-
cial train, while Waterloo, Cedar Rap
ids, Muscatine and Council Bluffs dele
cations will each have their own car.
Keokuk will close on Wednesday and
come UP in body. Many will be in
form Fort Madison and from Ottum-
wa, and all the smaller places will be
we'll represented. The jobbers are do
ing everything possible to make the af-
fair a memorable one, and the tourists
out of Burlington are pushing with
might and main.
The arrangements are progressing
in an eminently satisfactory manner.
Ed. Graesser has consented to take
charge of the banquet, and this is a
guarantee that this part of the event
will be a gratifying success. The river
party Thursday afternoon on the
steamer Columbia will be special
delight to visitors from inland towns
For Tuesday an entertainment is be
ing arranged, for which some of the
details are still undecided. Fischers
band will play during all of the three
DAYS and will add not little to the
general effect.
4 The arrangements have made suffi
cient progress to show that this is
going to be one of the big things OF
the year. Among the prominent visit
ors who will address the convention
will be:
:. National Secretary John A. Green
of Cleveland, Ohio.
! State Dairy and Food Commissions
w. B. Barney.
:. Secretary George E. Green of Hi
nois.
E. F. Trefz of Chicago.
H. G. Larimer of Charlton, Iowa.
Ben vardaman of Des Moines, Iowa
Fred Mason of New York
! Conservative estimates place tn
number of visitors at 1000, and wide
awake committee will see to it tina
every visitor is properly taken care {

Remarks have been made lately as
regards the apparent decline of close
personal friendships between men.
Perhaps something in our busy mod
ern life accounts for our lower note
in masculine friendships. Perhaps,
too, much that belonged to inter
changes between man and man, is
now possible between woman and
man as equals.

W. C. T. IT,. Notes.

In all the stat, white ribbon
women took an active partin the
campaigns against the liquor
traffic. There have been some
signal victories in spite of the
fact that prohibitory amend
mCnts were not passed in Mis-
souri,, Oregon and Florida.
1t sometimes takes more eff
fort to hold a prohibition terri
lory than to carry it in the first
place.
Oaklahoma has kept its prohib-
tory law by a $4,000 vote, al
though great effort was made
for a local option law to take it's
place.
In Tennessee, a very stirring
contest has taken place and a
great victory for prohibition,
civic righteousness and good gov
ernment has been won. You re-
member the situation;-Senator
Carmack, who was prominent in
bringing in statewide prohibi-
ton, was murdered. The gov
ernor pardoned his murderers
and generally defeated the will
of the people. On the 9th of No
vember, without regard to party,
the people elected Capt. Hooper,
a Republican who stands for the
enforcement of the prohibitory
law.
The defeat in Missouri came to
many like a clap of thunder out
of the clear sky. One of the
csmpaigners gives three causes:
l, the vote in the country
was very light. Probably 7596
of the farmers would have voted
dry. AS it was, the state is sup
posed to have gone dry outside
of st Louis.
2, there was much coersion and
general crookedness in St Louis,
which on its face went wet thir-
teen to one.
8, Some, in favor of prohibi-
ton, objected to anything so
binding as an amendment to the
constitution.
The temperance forces say,
Saloons must 60" The great
breweries of st Louis are over
riding and dominating the state.
The daily papers say the bust
ness men OF Drs Moines, Iowa
are determined to make the Cap
ital dry. We should | Ike to hear
more talk of the business side of
the question. Men must see its
fearful waste.
When on earth, Jesus Christ
opened the eyes Of the blind; he
said that his disciples should do
greater works because he went
to his father. One of those
greater works for the disciples to
do is to open the eyes of the spirit
ually blind that they may see the
shame and folly of the liquor
traffic in its different bearings.

4 out 400 paintings that show
the remarkable development of
nelgian art since the beginning
of the nineteenth century.
In the gallery of old pictures

almost of Ruben's pictures.
One O. my favorite pictures is
Nicolaus Macs painting of an
old woman sleeping in her chair.

some time an artist who was
painting an excellent copy from
this fine picture.
One of the most extraordinary
museums | have visited is the
Id home and studio of the Bel
ian artist Wiertz a highly gifted
but unusually eccentric genius.
S soon as he reached a position
f indep ndence, he announced
that he would never again re-
ceive money in compensation for
his work. So he has painted
some of the most grewsome pic
lures. They are SO terrible and
TO make them the more uncanny,
the artist arranged in two co. :
ncrs of his studio, paintings to be
viewed through magnifyirg peep
holes, in the style of a chamber
of horrors. ..
One of these pictures shows a
cheap wooden coffin in dark
cellar, on which was painted the
wol DIS. Death from Cholera"
The unfortunate victim had b en-
buried alive and is TO cling his
way out with a look of indes-
cribable horror and fear.
Another picture represents a
oung mother who, throul h
starvation and neglect, has be-
come raving maniac. She has
just murdered her young child
and is cutting it to pieces and
IS boiling the / arts in kettle.
Another, a very large canvas,
shows giant of truly gig ntic
proportions, stamping human be-
ings to death, squeezing them
with his hands and crunching
them between his huge jaws.
With all this display of horror,
the artist has also painted some
pictures of rare beauty of con-
ception ard portrayal. One of
the most beautiful cupids | have
seen is in his picture called The
Education of the Virgin" "
Some of the canvases are of
size and strength, un-
