Madame X.

Madame X the intensely emotion
al melo-drama which electrified Paris
for over year, promises to establish
new records in the way of financial
returns for dramatic production in
this country. Henry w. Savage, who
has just started Madam X on tour,
after it's sensational engagements in
Chicago and New York, finds the cele-
brated Partisan play as potent box
office magnet almost as "The Merry
Widow" which set new high water
mark for attendance in every city it
visited Madame X" is scheduled for
presentation here tomorrow.
For the first time in theatrical his
tory the methods of French court in
capital case are accurately present
ed on the stage in Henry w. Savage's
production of the celebrated European
and American dramatic sensation,
Madame X, which is soon to be
offered to local theatregoers. The
procedure is in sharpest contrast to
which prevails in America. In the
widely discussed last act Of this play
a woman is brought to the bar of JUS
tice on charge of murder, and an
actual trial takes place as in a Paris
courtroom. This thrilling scene is
said to approximate the acme of stage
realism. The witnesses are sworn tho
lawyers present their pleas and the
Judge charges the jury
Madam X will he seen at the
Grand opera house tomorrow evening.
There are still plenty of good seats.
Madame X is Great Show.
The following telegram was receiy-
ed today by The Gate City and is a
fine endorsement of Madame X, the
attraction to appear at the Grand
opera house tomorrow evening. The
play is one of the Savage productions
and Savage sends out only the BEST.
Keokuk theatre goers will miss a
treat in dramatic art if they fail to
be at the Grand tomorrow evening.
Seats are now on sale The telegram
voluntarily sent to The Gate City by
Editor Campbell is as follows:
ALTON, H., Jan. Editor Gate
City, Keokuk, Iowa.
Madame X is a great show and AL
ton turned out in full force and oc-
cupied every seat at the Temple

spell-bound in their seats

CLEARING UP
Wire SITUATION
!
Gangs Of Linemen Worked North of
The City all Day Sunday and
Restored Communication
With Burlington.
TOLL LINES OPENING
Wires South Of the City Have Not
Been Opened to Any Great Elk
tent but Conditions Partly
Relieved.

Gradually telephone and telegraph
lines to the north of the city are be-
lug opened. South of Keokuk, almost
everything is still down with the ex-
ception of train wires and these are
working poorly.
] All Sunday was spent by force of
from fifty to a hundred men between
this city and Burlington, putting the
wires in shape SO that .Ionday bust
ness could be resumed.
The first toll wire north of this
lcity was received yesterday after
noon some time. when the broken
circuit was patched and the Orchard
city was communicated with for the
first time in the thirty or more hours.
This morning it was possible to
reach FIT. Madison, Burlington and
small intervening places by toll lines.
North Of Burlington, the wires are
reported to be working in fairly good
condition. The Davenport limo was
reported o. X. this morning.
The Postal Telegraph has been able
to get several wires and this morning
the local office was in fairly good
shaps again after being completely
knocked out all day Saturday. The
wires east of Burlington to Chicago
are working all right and things in
that section are reported in good
shape again.

Deaths and births.

The resources of the state as to
population are it's births. It's expendi-
ture and losses are the deaths. If the
deaths are greater than the births, it
means falling off in population. To
determine the ratio of the number of
deaths to the number of births, we
must have statistics. We get all the
deaths. believe, but there is no law
requiring the registration of births.
IF it is found that there are more
deaths than births. something is
wrong and we must change our meth
DDS. 1t might be race suicide, but the
probabilities are that such conditions
would be caused By unsatisfactory
health standards.
"The ratio of the number Of di-
vorces to the number of marriages tell
the story of the amount of unhappi-
ness in the state which always is a
detriment to the progress of the com
monwealth.r

The situation will not be relieved
entirely for a week however, on ac-
count of 20 many broken wires and

which the men are working.

infantlIe Paralysis.


In regard to the infantile paralysis
which has been prevalent in Iowa
DR.. Sumner says
The epidemic of infantile paralysis
has been the most serious sorrow that
has ever befallen any commonwealth
and the board has shown its efficiency
in coping with the sad but mysterious
visitor that has caused so much grief
in Iowa.
The report recommends that the
state meteorological laboratory be
given sanitary expert who shall in
vestigate the sanitary conditions in
the state. 1t also recommends that
departments supported by fees should
receive all the fees collected and that
s3,714.53 collected in fees by the dc
partment Of optometry should be re-
turned to the department.
More money is needed to carry on
the work of the state health board,
according to the report. The amounts
necessary to perform economically
and properly the duties of the state
board of health and allied depart
ments are named as follows:
Board OF health ............. S10,4S0
Embalmers and nurses 1880. 900

"THE SYSTEM" IN MEXICO

It is so generally understood that
the financial interests of the United
States are behind this movement of
the army and navy in the direction of
Mexico that it is not surprising to
find in the list of great interests to
be protected the same great combi-
nations which exercise so much con
troll over business and industry in the
United States.
At the head of the list stands the
firm of j. P. Morgan &, Co. who rep
resent not only the great financial in
terests of New York in Mexico, but
the holders of Mexican bonds. The
Morg n-Guggenheim combination has
obtained monopoly f the copper re-
sources of the country, while the
Guggenheim smelter trust owns and
operates the smelters of Mexico and
controls the output Of lead.
The Wells, Fargo Express Company
has monopoly of the express bust
ness, while the great railroad merger
a few years ago was effected by the
interests represented by e. H. Harri-
man, acting in connection with the
Diaz government. The Standard Oil
interests, operating in Mexico chiefly
as the Waters-Pearce Oil Company,
have tremendous holdings of oil lands
and virtually control the oil output.
The sugar trust has valuable con-
cessons Of both sugar lands and man
ufacturing privileges and is declared
to be rapidly obtaining a monopoly of
the sugar production.
Added to these are holdings of the
Wall street combinations in banks,
railroads, iron, gold and silver mines
and in the other great natural re-
sources which have been surrendered
by the Diaz government exploiting
American organizations of capital tc
the impoverishment of the whole
Mexican people, but to the enrichment
of Diaz himself and those by whom he
is surrounded
There are few of the familiar names
not included in this list of special in
terest representatives who are recog
nized as the chief factors in the
Mexican situation, and it develops
that the United States is to engage
aggressively in the suppression of {
fight by the Mexican people against
a combination of the wrongs com
mitted by the Mexican government

gress forget all about the proposed

Before l learned one little part
Of all the JOY each fragile day
Hid in it's heart
So many summers fastened by

And read in bloom and leaf and sky

Would that Youths eye could see the

And wonder of the drifting years
Grown old, their loneliness we trace
Through binding tears.

given by John Prochaska. a few
moving pictures were given before

the work as it is being carried on
by the United States government
since the canal was purchased from

pictures were well colored and true
To life being productions from actual

of the city of Panama where about
fifty different nationalities are repre-
scented; the up-to-date dredges and
the steam shovels at work along the
line of the canal. the hospitals. and
the extensive buildings occupied by
the great army of workers. and the
methods which are being used to con-
