Opera House Next Wednesday,

''All the world loves lover" is an
old adage and true one and one of
the most fascinating stories of the love
of two good men for woman that was
ever told is the basis of the play, "A
Cow Boys Girl" which is to appear at
the Cresco Opera House on Wednes-
day night, Feb. Sth. Colonel Marshall
11th U. Calvary has beautiful daugh-
ter who is loved by Lieutenant Nc
Clure and Jack Benton, Captain of the
Rangers. There are fourteen char
acters in the play, but these are the
principals and their acting is said to be
of high standard. The five acts of
scenery is big feature and the cos
tuning is also worthy of note. The
company has cowboy band that gives
a concert on the streets during the day.
The company comes we'll recommended
and should be greeted by large house.

Motor Road For Cresco.

For some time rumors Of an exten-
sion of the Charles City gasoline motor
line have been circulatedin Cresco, and
the following from the Riceville Recor-
der shows that the matteris being serl-
,nslv considered in the west half of
the county. This line is aready sur
veved into Alta Vista. but the follow
ing article would intimate that change
in the proposed route is contemplated,
leaving out Alta Vista. A road such
as is proposed could be easily built from
Riceyille to Cresco, and would be of
great value to Cresco and the territory
adjacent to the road.
sFarmers and business men and clt'-
zens of Riceville. Do you want another
line of railroad giving additional trans
portation facilities?
An intimation has been received that
the Charles City and Western line is
headed this way from Charles City,
and that if the proper spirit be shown,
will be surveyed into and perhaps
through Riceville.
So far as information can be CLEANED
at this time the objective point is east
ward, possibly Cresco or farther. The
present proposition is to run from
Charles City north and east through
Niles, New Haven and Riceviie, con-
Meeting with the Great Western at the
latter point,
This will be an extension of the Hart.
Parr gasoline line which recently began
operations between Marble Rock and
Charles City. 1t will be built of stand
ard gauge and of sufficient ballast and
steel 70 accommodate loaded cars from
any steam line.
We will go more into detail later on
account of lack of definite present in
formation; enough to say however that
our tip comes from sufficiently near
headquarters to give assurance of the
elimination of the scheme. depending
on the proper spirit of the property
owners along the proposed route.
An informal meeting has been set
for February at, which time delega-
ton from this vicinity is urged to be
present"

son Edgar, at Mendoza, Minnesota, last
Wednesday. He was trying to make a
coupling between pile driver car and
another car. The platform on the pile
driver car extended too far and young
Terry was squeezed between that and
the other car. He lived but a few
minutes after he was hurt. He was

HARVARD RIPS
 THROUGH BROWN LINE
Crimson Reveals Some of Its Real Strength-Defeats Brown 20 to 6.

Except for a couple of beautiful fer ward passes, Brown was no match for Harvard in the Cambridge stadium on Saturday afternoon, for the score of 20 to 6 does not spell the full strength of the Crimson offense.
 Yet Brown had the satisfaction of going back to Providence as the first team to cross the Harvard goal line this season. a fact due to the perfec- ton of the same forward passes. In all other departments of the game, and except for the three minutes in the seccnd period in which Brown scored. Harvard was always master of the situation while Brown was never again in Crimson territory.
 There was scarcely a Brown play throughout the game that was not smothered or torn to pieces before yard kicks to Sprackling, the two liar yard ends were so fast that the All- America quarterback of the Brown team was repeatedly carried back for a loss or thrown where he stood until at last he almost begged for quarter by holding up his hand for fair catch rather than be slammed down by half of the Harvard rush line.
 It was on-y in the first five minutes play that Harvard was obliged to un- cover what looked like the full power of the Crimson attack.
 In that sweep down the field that appeared more like Crimson froliC than real work, Campbell and Wendell reeled off ,. 10 and 15 yards on each rush and save for an Interruption on the i0yard line where Brown got the ball on missed forward pass, only to

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
GENERAL LIST STEADY.
A More Normal Market Saturday with
 Higher Prices.

New York. Oct. 29.-The stock mar ket was normal yesterday, with prices higher and the general list steady.
 There was a marked absence of the excitement Of earlier days of the week and sentiment was more cheerful. Steel was strong the greater part of the session, closing near the top. Rail- road issues were less active than the industrials, but all were firm. Much of this strength. as in Steel, apparently came from covering of short contracts.
 So far as the suit against the Steel corporation is concerned, the street, having thought things over, is reason- ably certain that what it thought was bad $ really for the best. The worst has tow happened, uncertainty has dis appeared and it is now for the go Iern- ment to prove it's case. Furthermore, 1t is believed that when MesSrS. Nor gan and Gary issued their now famous statement they acted on sound advice. It would Ee hard to convince many that there is not lot of politics mixed up in the proceeding, but this cry is always raised with every trust prose cution.
 The bank statement was up to ex- pectations, surplus reserves increasing S350,o00.

lose it on a tumble, there was scarcely a pause for 63 yards, until Harvard scored it's f1st touchdoWn. Almost at the beginning of the sec ord period, two beautiful forward passes to Ashpaugh and Adams brought the ball in Browns possess lon to Harvaro's 5-yard line. After Ten ney had bean hurled back for a loss, 1t locked as if Harvard might save her goal lire, but Penney scuried around the Crimson right end like a rabbit and scored the touchdown. Ashbaugh kicked a difficult goal but the tie of the score lasted less than three min utes. Harvard was soon back in Brown territory and at the 20-yard yard line, Milhollands right foot was called upon for it's special work and the score was made to by a pretty goal from the field, kicked from the 28-yard line.
 The third Harvard score, and the second touchdown, were due to the fierce tackling of the Crimson for wards who threw Sprackling so hard when he attempted quarterback run around the right end that he dropped the ball. Campbell picked it up and sprinted B yards to the goal line
 The fourth and last score came on a brilliant piece of running by Pot ter, who caught a Brown punt on the run, snatching 1t out of the waiting hands of a fellow back, and out-dis- tanced the entire Brown team for a 63-yard run to the three-yard line where Bartlett managed to overhaul him. 1t was a simple matter for Wen dell to batter his way through for a. touchdown. Fisher failed to kick the goal.
 Harvard substitutes then came fly ing on to the field in droves, and no other efforts were made to augment the score.

RARE MUSHROOMS
Found hy Bridgeport GirI-Scorched Hyonun1 Weighs Six and One Guar ter Pounds

A magnificent specimen of the com paratively rare Scorched Hydnum mushroom has been on exhibition. It was discovered by Miss Johanna G. Fahey, stenographer in Mayor E. T.

Knowing of the close study and expert knowledge of Miss $. |. Munson. Miss F'ahey told her about the fungus growth. Miss Munson was interested and went to the place Saturday afternoon and using a ladder secured the specimen about o'clock. It is the third speci- men of this variety that she has seen m her seven years study of the mush- room family.
 The specimen was F feet from the ground and weights six and a quarter pounds. It is A inches in circumfer- ence and measures 21 inches from top to bottom over the other way. The safety of eating the specimen, Miss Munson says, can be verified by refer ence to the Connecticut state agricul- tural report to be found at the public library It gains it's name from the rich brown girl which pervades it. It grows almost entirely on trees, by the side of paths of thoroughfares.
 Miss Munson says that those who are skeptical concerning the safety of eating mushrooms found growing on trees can be convinced by the pro-

VALE SCORES EASY
 VICTORY OVER COLGATE.
Score g to o-WaIter Camp, Jr,for Yale, and Huntington for Colgate the Stars

With the execution of a few min utes in the early part of the first peril cd, Yale did not find the Colgate elev- en very stiff proposition at New Ha- ven Saturday afternoon, and the rath- eer patched up team which the Yale coaches sent against Colgate had little trouble in scoring 23 points.
 Walter Camp, Jr., was Yale's indi- vidual star. He played the game of his life and has never been seen in better form. He scored two touchdowns, tore off some ratt1ing long runs, and his kicking was superb. Reilly'S work was brilliant, too, his smashing runs netting many yards for the Blue and one of the touchdowns. Anderson also star red with long runs. Francis was in on every play, and when he stopped a man he was stopped up short.
 For the Colgate eleven Quarterback Huntingdon stood head and shoulders above veryone else on the team. He was dangerous at all times, for he
 has the speed of a deer in footing it down the field and lodges like an In dian. His kicking up to the time he was slowed up by several hard bumps was pretty, indeed. SWaTtout and Me Laugh1in also counted.
 It was hard to tell just how stiff an offense Yale has aar present. The Col
 gate line was battered away to shreds so easily and there was so little stiff ening in it the Ellis simply had to fall
 into it to make wide gaps.
 Captain Howe, Philbin and KetchaTn,
 the three varsity cripples, improved
 the opportunity by taking an early
 train to Cambridge to see how the Crimson matched up with Brown. The
 duties of handling the Ellis, therefore,
 were turned over to Merritt, who was
 hurt in the first period, his place be-
 ing taken by Strout, third string
 man.
 There was no scoring in the first pe-
 riod, the quarter resolving itself into a pnnting duel between Camp and Hunt
 milton, the Former having the better in the exchanges.
 On the first play in the second peri od Camp used the straight arm in
 skirting Garricl1's end, and, bowling over five players, scored a touchdown, from which Francis kicked goal. On
 the kick-o Anderson ran the ball back
 40 yards and Camp carried 1t 35 yeards nearer the Colgate line. Strout, Camp and Reilly carried it to the 15 yard line and Camp plunged over for another score, Paul kicking the goal.
 Yale was in trouble at the opening of the third period. In three forward passes Colgate netted Is yards, and then tried an onside kick, the ball roll ing outside at Yale's yard line, but there was holding and Colgate was snt back almost to the center of the field. Two double passes and some
 good backfield work soon resulted in another score for Yale, Reilly taking,
 the ball over. Francis missed the goal
 On the first play in the final period a
 fine forward pass from Anderson to
 Francis netted Yale 27 yards and 8 touchdown, this benng the last score,

PENCLETON'S FINE RUNS
 ARE PRINcETON'S STRENGTH
Tigers Register Defeat Over Holy
 Cross, 20 to 0.

Long end runs, onside kicks and the forward pass enabled Princeton to de- feat Holy Cross Saturday at Prince ton by the score of 20 to 0. The Wor- cester eleven tore up the Princeton line as no other team has this season and made more first downs against the Tigers than all the rest of the teams which have met Princeton.
 OBrien of the visitors played 8 good game at left halfback, and the Holy Cross team had a little shift which seemed to bother the Princeton eleven greatly. By constant use of this shift, coupled with the poor tackling of the Princeton team, Holy Cross managed to force the fighting throughout the third period.
 Tn the last quarter, the Princeton team braced, and thanks almost en- tirely to the running of Pendleton, scored two touchdowns. A 40-yard run by him carried the ball to the four yard line, whence it took three downs to push Penfeld over with it. Two plays after the next kickoff Penfield repeated this run, only this time he crossed the line for a touchdown.
 The other scoring took place in the first two periods on a drop kick from the 20-yard line by Baker and a touchdown by Dewitt.
