Paper out Earlier.

Our chances of playing a sill

are becoming Simmer and
Simmer as time goes on. All
because we are unable to get
our Daily delivered as soon as
it should be. Now that the
long evenings are beginning
and that the printers business
always picks up at this time of
the year, it is a serious ques-
ton with US every day, how to
get our paper out on time. We
have tried several different
schemes but to no success
Now we have hit on an idea that
we think will come out all right.

until the next day. We know
the merchants rather have
their ads, read early in the
evening instead Of the next
morning and no doubt they will
try to help us out in this new
idea. Get. your change of ad
in this office not later than ten
o'clock on the day of its APP
-pearance in the paper.

one is on the coast of South

year, so that now less than

drastic measures are taken, be-

"1-hc Aviator"

Seldom are the people of Mo.
Valley given the opportunity
ofseeing as good a performance,
such as was the "Aviator" at
the Harrison theatre Saturday
evening. This being the first
show of the season to appear
at the Harrison theatre a large
audience was expected but the
weather kept, perhaps: two hum
bred citizens and farmers
away. The show was one of
the best that was ever show n
here and from the amount Of
applause, was received very
favorably. The play was much
different from the class of
shows shown here before and
for that reason was appreciat-
ed. VIM. w. Trousdale as the
star, carried out his part per-
fectly and was supported by a
very able company. Mr.. Trcus-
dale is supposed to have writ
ten a book entitled, "The Avia-
tor" At the hotel where he is
stopping, when his identity is
found out, the guests request
him to make a flight. Just as a
joke he makes them believe
that he is a bird man, thinking
that he will not have to demon
strate his ability as an aviator.
The guests make arrangements
with an aero club for a prize
flight, between him and the
Frenchman to take place near
the hotel. Two machines are
shipped to the hotel and rather
than expose himself, he makes
the flight. His practicing of
aeroplane flights on the table
in his room and other like stu
atoms make the play a very
aughable comedy. The time
arrives for the flight and on
'ccount Of some good luck, he
yets in the air with his machine
and IN account of his inability
70 d ,scenl, he stays in the air
he lorgast and wins the flight
over the professional French
bird-man. OF course he is the
hero and wins a wife. The third
act where the aeroplane is il,
shown, is very exciting and es-
pecially where he leaves the
stage, seated in the machine,
with a motor cycle chugging at
the rate of 100 miles per- hour.
The play was a sample of the
shows that will be given at the
Harrison theatre this season,
under the very able manage
ment of c. G. Pratt.

Then we go on the Denver
and Rio Grand down to Ogden
through the valleys and Rocky
mountains and sandy deserts.
Another wonderful Scenery is
through the mountains along
the Arkansas river, a stream
that is awful crooked and the
mountains of rocks so high.
You wonder how they got their

First Game of Season.

The Missouri Valley town
football team defeated the
Hanscom Park football team
of Omaha yesterday afternoon.
at the fair grounds 10 to o. On
account of the weather the field
was very slippery and both
teams were at a disadvantage.
From the start of the game it
was seen that Missouri Valley
boys would be easy winners and
had they cared they could have
run the score up more than
they did. The team work of
the Omaha players was very
poor and they couldn't make a
gain on the Mo. Valley boys.
Touch downs were made by
Jones and Fensler. A small
crowd witnessed the game.
