1.-THE LIGHT ETERNAL"
A Splendid Future Booking at the
Grand Opera House.

One of the most important the
atre bookings made so far to appear
in our city the coming season is
1.-The Light Eternal" This play, a
tale of the early Christian era, was
originally produced at the Majestic
Theatre, New York City, by Henry
Miller, and so favorably impressed
was this astute actor-manager with
the attitude of the public toward
the clean, wholesome drama, that he
followed it Immediately with "The
Servant in the House." So pond
erous and massive was the produc-
ton of 1.-THE Light Eternal" that
few one-night stands were made, anc
the play kept in the larger cities,
but as in the case of ben Hur," it
has been found possible and profit
able to send the production on the
road, and 1.-The Light Eternal" will
be one of the important events of
the coming season in this city. The
play is founded on Cardinal Wise
mans popular book, "Fabiola," the
dramatic work being done by Mar
vim Merle, who handled the subject
matter in a manner to create. a play
thoroughly interesting and delight
full to the usual theatre goers, while
that great mass of deeply religious
people who seldom go to thu theatre
proclaim 1t superior to "The Sign
of the Cross or 1.-THE Shepherd
King" and from the standpoint of
literary merit and religious senti-
ment to surpass even ben Hur."
The play will be presented by a
thoroughly capable company and the
costumes and scenic equipment is
the equal of any play on tour. -Four
massive scenes are shown and two
striking effects are produced by the
aid of modern electric devices.

DEBORAH WINS MORE GAMES.
High School and Valdez College
Keeps up Constant Record
of Victories.

Every city of 1000 people in the
country must take off their hats to
DEBORAH this season in the matter
of basket ball, for we have several
invincible teams. Luther College
high school boys and girls and Val
der College boys and girls teams all
have enviable records.
Friday night the game at Steyer's
opera house between DEBORAH and
Cresco high schools was a fast
snappy game, and very interesting
to the spectators, but the DEBORAH
boys were too much for the visitors
as usual and defeated them by the
decisive score of Al to 8. This team
is maintaining its title of champions
of northern Iowa in splendid shape
not having lost a game during the
season.
The same night the Valdez Col
lege, girls and boys teams went to
New Hampton and played double
header with the Oliver College
teams of that place. the v. G. boys
winning by the score of 3S to q
and the girls also winning IA to 6
The floor was very slippery and the
game was played under scholastic
rules. but the local teams showed
their superiority and both won easy
victories.
A return game will be played here
next Monday, Feb. 18th, between
the Oliver College and Valdez Col
lege girls and boys teams, which
will without doubt attract large
crowd.

The First "Freaku Bill.

Among the first freak bills is
one by doctor at Kanawha asking
that fishermen be required to take
out license. More than half the
Fishers" of Iowa are under fifteen
years old and not one in FIVE OF
them have a dollar to pay for a
license. The fish laws. give an open
season and the kids are the ones
that enjoy it. Why should a CHR
lish sawbone want a license of fish,
ermen? If the legislature would
pass law that every vermiform APP
pendix in Iowa that is removed
should be under the supervision of
a committee composed of a horse
doctor, a butcher and grave dig
ger, and the same be sent to COM
mittee composed of one doctor,
Charley Miller of Waverly, and let
Charley select the third member in
case of disagreement, it would result
in the saving of tens of thousands
of dollars to the people of Iowa and
"let the kids fish," There wouldn't
be one case of appendicitis where
there are twenty-five now. There
would not be any appendices re-
moved that are not diseased in the
least. No ones abdominal cavity
would be used as a storage place for
cold chisels, pipe tongs and cheese
cloth, but '.let the boys fish," A
law that would demand a license
of anyone to catch fish would be
cursed from Dubuque to Council
Bluffs. What does that doctor want
of an anti-fish law. Does he think
it will help any to catch suckers?"
Make law that the first doctor that
pulls a patients leg for more than
$50 in case of appendicitis and for
more than $40 in case of obstetrics
shall pay fine of thousand dol
lars and be fed on carp until the
bones stick through his back SO he
can't get his shirt off, and "let the
kids fish. Britt Tribune.

that no Americans. meaning citizens
