many a sharpshooter famous. In ad
dition he is charged with playing
lawn tennis with the students of the

he drives his own automobile; it is

At the Hippodrome.

This afternoon the Hippodrome
opened the Thanksgiving week with
one of the cleyerest bills seen at this
theatre since the opening. Every
thing on the bill is of the highest
class and was well taken by the large
and enthusiastic audience that filled
the popular playhouse. Pete Baker,
monologist, yodler and dialectician,
received a great hand at the conclus-
ion of his act and responded to nuner-
GUS encores. His yodling is by far
the best ever heard In Keokuk and his
stories in dialect reached the funny
spot OF the audience. Whitfield and

THE Belle Of Bingville,' better de-
