JUDGE Joe" CORRIGAN

Opera House-W Will be Open

The theatrical season for 1911-12
opens in this city at the armory op-
era house on next Thursday even
ing, Aug. oath. At that time the
popular play, MARY James Pa"
with Boyd B. Trousdale in the lead
Ing role, will occupy the boards. Mr..
Trousdale has appeared in this city
before and is known locally as an
actor of ability. This is fine scenic
production with a big reputation,
and the opening theatrical event of
the present season in Webster City
will doubtless be a creditable and
occasion.
Next Tuesday evening, Aug. 10th,
the "Two Merry Tramps" will ap-
pear at the armory opera house.
This is popular musical Jingle in

Kenyon at Atlantic.

Atlantic News: Atlantic extend
ed kindly welcome to Senator
Kenyon Tuesday. Standpat strong
hold though this county is. and at
variance with some of the things
the senator advocates, its people in
goodly number gathered at the
Chautauqua tent to listen to him.
And they were not disappointed,
for the senator's talk was in every
sense worth the money" He is
not an orator and lays no claim in
that direction, but he has a way OF
getting near his audience which
makes him a good public speaker
and his logic and ample fund OF
common sense contribute to make
what he has to say worth while
There have been no speakers on the
Chautauqua platform here who
made more favorable impression
and the management is entitled t.
much praise for securing him.
Atlantic and Cass county's i'm
preston Of the new senator was ,
pleasant one. regardless OF politics
and one which will be lasting.

Iowa City Republican: Things are
getting comical. Up in the Tenth
district they have fellow drawing
the pay of a congressman who is
voting daily against the president.
He would like to have another term.
Another branch of insurgency is
more moderate and they want con-
gresham who will be for Taft and
in favor of the national administra-
ton. Another branch of the party,
headed by J. l.. Kamrar Of Webster
City, want congressman opposed
to Taft because Taft is for reciproc-
ity. They are backing Kamrar for
congress. Just what would be gain
ed by electing a standpatter who
would fight the administration, over
an insurgent who is doing the same
thing, is not apparent, except that
different men would get the post
