COMING ATTRACTIONS.

wrights after seeing some perform
ances Of the play, issued az earnest
appeal to the public to attend. They
said: ut is one Of the greatest
American plays in years. Beyond the
literary and dramatic quality of the
piece, 1t has the merit Of treating
adequately a great and vital social
theme"
"Kindling' tells the story of the
poor. their limitations, their aspira~
tons, and the essential nobility of
their ideals. They know what is
right, and what is merely convention
ally good. There is a difference, and
with an absolute sincerity OF straight
thinking they see the difference. The
story is told in an artistic way. In
the tenements where Maggie and
Heinie Schultz live out their tragic
stories, there is more really fine ma
terial for fresh, intensely human
art than in those artificial and con-
ventional upper circles where the
hero talks in perfect verse and the
heroine munches bon-bons in perfect
style. Charles Kenyon raises the
vernacular of The tenement to equal
dignity with the classic language of
Henry James and Walter Pater.
AS a social document, "Kindling''
is indeed adequate. 1t is this getting
to the bottom facts of poverty. this
earnest digging up of the vital hui
manities and the noble heroism un,
DERIVING the social structure, that is
of such promise to our American and
democratic institutions.

ayers are now at liberty to offer indi-
cate that they have kept their pledge
II mind and already secured for the

auctions that appear on the American
stage. All of the attractions that
they are able so far to announce
have been approved by the theatre

and Keokuk is fortunate in having
them brought to this city. Mr.. Jesse

pressed their pleasure that the man
agement has been able to secure such
excellent talent.
There will be no dark nights at the
Grand. When the house is not used
for theatrical performances the best
moving pictures will be shown. Owing
to the gradual increase in patronage
beginning Oct. LIST there will be three
complete shows. The moving picture
programs at this house have been OF
very high order and never fail to
give satisfaction.

United Press Leased Wire SerVlce.l
NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Financial
America tomorrow will say:
Wall street this week had its first
taste of the year of the defect of the
withdrawal of cash from the city for
crop movement purposes. At the be-
ginning of the week brokers acting
for one of the most important inter
ests called in large amounts of call
loans, and the immediate result was
an advance in the call money rate to
over 5 per cent. This lifting of the
rate to the highest range SO far this
year called attention to the general
monetary situation to greater ex-
tent than had been done by the ad-
vance in discount rates on the semi
governmental European banking instf
tutions in the previous week.
Curtailment of banking accommoda-
ton was at once assumed to be I'M
minent but as matter of fact the
street easily obtained all the accom-
mediation acquired and whatever IL
luidation came from selling of stocks
by the holders, who had become
weary waiting for upturns, which
would show them some kind of profit
for their commitments on the long
side of the market. 1t did not take
long to exhaust the liquidation from
this source and the recessions result
ing from it had hardly attained full
swing before rally was again in or
der. The speculative element as
usual joined in the selling when low
levels We're established, and an over
sold condition was again created.
The Grain Market.
UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-The govern
ment report on crop conditions and
the cable news were the chief factors
in this weeks grain market. The gov
eminent report, while indicative of
plentiful supplies, was not in itself of
extreme bearish significance.
What more especially helped coun-
teract the bearishness of the situation
was the news from the United King
dom and from the continent of the
disastrous effect from the extremely
unfavorable weather being expert
enced in those countries during the
period of harvest.
Canadian wheat is being secured
under favorable conditions and prom
lses to exceed in quantity the large
crop of last year. Its quality will be
immeasurably superior according to
reports The volume of the crop is
expected to increase stocks and make
capital for the bears. For the week
wheat was up ia in September to l
cent in December.
Declines in corn, especially in the
cash commodity, were the rule this
week. The crop report had its bear
ish effect and reports of early har-
vesting in Oklahoma and the probable
ity that some of the new grain would
be valuable in short time of As and
December 2aac.
Oats were firmly held throughout
the week. The strength of the market
was credited to the huge export bust
ness that was being transacted, All
futures We're one-quarter to one cent
higher.
Provisions were strong all around.
