EXTRA JUDGE FOR
LEE COUNTY
Senate Passes the Bill Almost unani-
rnousIy and it Looks Like
Sure Go.

The proposition OF the attorneys of
Lee county that an extra Judge be al
lowed for the terms of the district
court, will very likely become a
reality
Yesterday the state senate acted
upon the proposition which was in
troduced by Senator McManus as
senate file No. PA and the bill passed
the senate by a vote Of Al to \, be-
ing practically unanimously carried
After passage by the house and ap-
proved by Cove nor Carroll the new
law will go into effect and Lee county
will have two judges. w. S. Hamil-
ton OF Fort Madison has been endors-
ed BY the attorneys Of the county and
will probably be appointed as the
extra Judge, there being no opposition
to his appointment and he. with Judge
Henry Bank viii preside over the
various terms of court in the county.

wilfully committed any election crime,
which | don't believe, he ought to be
punished; If there has been no crime,
no intent to do wrong, and only some
carelessness, perhaps, then state

to indict. will prove to all the people
such a state of facts and that the al

In the meantime, the grand jury has

Ian Robertsons Visit IN mystery
Play.
Mr. Ian Robertson's visit to the
United States, appearing at the
Grand on next Wednesday night,
awakens interest in one of the most
able actors now before the public,
either at home or abroad
On his present visit he relies entire
ly on his latest success, THE Passing
of the Third Floor Back" by Jerome
x. Jerome in which he has already
appeared 200 times in England, this
popular play having enjoyed run OF
over 500 consecutive performances in
New York and London alone, It's re-
ception on the road being no less
enthusiastic.
It is seldom that the personality OF
an actor is so remarkably In harmony
with the role he is representing as is
that OF Ian Robertson in the myster-
ious and inspiring individuality OF
THE Stranger" in THE Passing OF the
Third Floor Back" Ian Robertson
does not act the part as others might
have donerhe lives 1t. He is the
passerby for the time being. 1t is
that power of conviction in all that
he does, added to the personal mag
netism and gifts denied many anoth-
er actor, which uplifts the play he
appears in to the level of classic.
Yet Mr.. Jerome's wonderful play is
neither melodrama nor pure comedy

to an extraordinary degree the power
of the stage and popularity of the
actor.
Peace hath it's victories no less re-
nowned than war;" and 1t is certainly
striking coincidence that last sea-
sons two most pronounced stage sue

influence far beyond the walls of the

alarms of invasion and war respec-
| lively.
There has often been complaint
of the comparatively few attempts to
treat the middle classes with becom-
ing seriousness. Yet in "The Passing
of the Third Floor Back we have a
conspicuous instance to the contrary
of simple people of today being used
as pawns on the stage in the portray
! al of real life. And in the passerby,
as Mr.. Jerome's intensely interesting
| play might more appropriately have
been called, we are promised a mod
ern mystery play, which has all the
! indeinable charm of "Everyman,' .
with the atmosphere of the present
day. And to the mysterious. spiritual
personality of the Stranger or
"Passerby,' Mr.. Ian Robertson is
said to lend fascination and mag
netism grandeur of repose and an
air of simplicity entirely his own.
