A happy event took place on We'd

sed in embroidered marquisette ov-

Picture Show Opening

The opening of the picture show
Saturday evening under the man.
agement of Coffelt & Middleton,
was such a success as to greatly
please them and their patrons as
we'll. Many were compelled to
stand at the first perform ance. and
the attendance was good at the sec
ond. The pictures were Of high
order, and there was scarcely a
hitch to mar the presentation.
The management is now contem-
plating Saturday or Sunday after
noon matinee. v hichever would
seem to be most convenient for pat
rons. 1t is question whether the
parents of school children would
not prefer Saturday, and whether
those living at distance, who
would not attend otherwise, would
not prefer to see the show on the
same afternoon they did their shop
ping. Regular patrons will attend
Wednesday and Saturday evenings.
and are not likely to pair onize the
matinee to any extent. The even
ing entertainment will probably be-
gin at 1870. instead Of 8 O'Clock,
hereafter.
Owing to the increased cost Of liv-
ing, Judges are granting higher al

indications that it, may soon be
cheaper to remain married. Chi

YOUNG BURGLAR KILLED
Shot by Des Moines Officers While
Trying to Eseaps-Gane Broken Up
by Death Of Luther Alexander.

Des Moines. Feb arthur Bales,
self confessed pal OF Luther Alex
ander. the 1s-year- old burglar who was
shot and killed by detectives Wednes-
day night while trying to escape from
st. GATHERINGS home. Is held In. the city
jail on a charge OF vagrancy. Chief Of
Detectives Jackson said that Bales
would be held until several people who
had been robbed recently had chance
to identify Bales as having part in
the crimes. Frank Alexander. brother
OF the dead burglar, was released this
morning by detectives after he had
been measured and photographed. Chief
Jackson intimated that young Alex
ander might again be taken into Gus
tody after his brothers funeral.
Young Bales confessed to the de-
tectives yesterday that he knew of
Alexander's thefts. and that the dead
burglar had several times exhibited
money which he said he had stolen. He
said that one day. Alexander had
shown him a watch which he said he
had stolen. The police believe that
Bales has assisted Alexander In pulling
of several Of the recent burglaries. and
will try to force confession from him
this afternoon.
Alexander was shot and killed by De-
tectives Petit and Johnston about Z
! O'Clock Wednesday night, after Petit
| had flashed his light in the young mans
F; face and ordered him to throw up hfs
hands. Petit was hiding in the ST
GATHERINGS home in one OF the rooms
that has been burglariZed frequently,
and confronted Alexander just as tbs
burglar was reaching for pocketbook
which was on the bed. Alexander
leapod to the window and dove to the
ground. ten feet below. Detective Pet
, tit fred as the escaping burglar leaped
thru the window. but missed.
The killing Of Alexander is believed
by the detectives to clear up an err
demic OF robberies occurring within
the past three months The Nurses
home, the Business Women's home. and
ST. GATHERINGS home have been burg
larized frequently in the last three
months and all the thefts bore the ear
marks Of being committed by the same
person. The only clue the police had
wae a track left outside Of the windows
Of the places entered, which was OF
No. size shoe, of a narrow last. This
fact. coupled with the confession of
Bales to knowledge Of Alexander
