9. A. They viii Make
Plans for Event.
LOCAL MEN ARE ANGRY
Muscatine Launch Club is Spreading
the Report That Dam viii Not
Be Completed in Time for
Regatta Here.

The scribbler on the Muscatine
journal, who is SO positive that there
will be a delay in the completion OF
the dam here, thereby causing post
ponement or transfer of the 1913 re
gatta of the Mississippi River Power
Boat Association, is getting really
serious in his stuff If he would take
the trouble to ask men in charge OF
the work here, he would find that
there Is not word OF truth In his
statements.
Commodore Burton Wilkinson and
Secretary Oryille Publisky. of the
Keokuk Motor Boat club, have en-
phatically denied that anything OF the
sort was ever put up to them and say
that they and the members of the club
are going ahead with the plans for
staging the regatta here.
Thursday evening the Journal from
Muscatine contained the following:
The project OF offering Muscatine
as the scene for the 1913 regatta of
the Mississippi Valley Power Boat As
sociation was presented to officials OF
the Muscatine Commercial club yes
terday by active workers in the Musca-
tine Launch club The subject will
be brought up at the meeting of the
organization to be held Monday and it
will be decided by the members
whether it is practical for the Pearl
City to hold the regatta here July 4,
5 and s.
The regatta will entail an expense
of at least $1,000, according to the
cost OF those held within the past
few years, but it is thought that the
pride of the Pearl City combined with
the benefits that will be accrued By
the merchants Of the city during those
three days by the number of visitors
who will be in the city, will result II
a favorable decision of the club In the
matter. 1t will probably mean tina
within those three days in July ther'
will be more than twenty-five thous
and visitors in the city. There is n.
question, however. as to Muscatine'
ability to accommodate the large
number.

1The LIttIest Rebel. =

The Ldttlest Rebel" Edward
Pepie's war-play in which A. H.
Woods is presenting Mr.. Marshall
Farnum, appeared at the Grand opera
house last evening, and gave splendid
satisfaction.
The play met with much success
last season at the Chicago opera
house and Liberty theatre. New York,
under the same manaA~ment. The
story concerns little Virgie Cary,
whose father Is a confederate scout
upon whose head there is a reward.
The little girl who saw her mother
die and their home burn, lives alone
and hungry In little cabin on the
mountain side a few miles from Rich
mond. Her father comes on one of
his hunted visits to see his child, he
has been pursued and is wounded. A
detail OF cavalrymen under the
command OF Lieut.. Col Morrison sur
round the cabin, and the scout hides
in loft The door is battered down
and the northern soldiers, instead OF
finding the dangerous scout, discover
a little girl sitting alone at a table
playing with her rag doll. With arch
baby talk and adorable courage she
fools the "Yanks'' but she is outwitted
by the gentiemanly colonel who dis
covers the hiding place of her father
Through the plea of the little girl
the colonel relents and furnishes Cary
With pass as escort for the little
girl through the federal lines in Rich
mond.
Later in the day battle ensues in
which Cary saves the life of the
northern colonel. They are BETRAYED
and brought 10 headquarters as pris-
oners. Cary as spy and Colonel Nor
rison as a traitor. and sentenced to
death. s.The littlest rebel" as Virgie
lis called, appears before General
Grant and pleads for the life OF both
men. So clever and sympathetic is
her plea that the general becomes in
terested and makes personal inyes-
tigationI of the case upon which the
men are pardoned.
The work of Marshall Farnum as
confederate scout and Judson Langill
as the U. S. cavalry lieutenant was
especially commendatery. while Viola
Savoy as .'virgie.' kept the heart in
terest in the play at high point. The
support given Farnum. Langill and
Miss Savoy, who were The principals
in the play. was good and satisfied
audience left the Grand at the close
of the play. The scenic effects, the
engagements between the north and
( the south and the details OF the play
/ were well arranged. 1t is a safe bet
that should THE Littlest Rebel
make a return date for Keokuk the
opera house would be packed.

aThe Rose of Kildare"

Friske O'Hara has. in his latest
play, "The Rose of Kildare" one of
the most rollicking and picturesque
characters he has ever portrayed In
an Irish play. He plays the part OF a
young Irish leader in the exciting
period of 1898, and the action of the
piece takes place in the hills OF Wick
low, where the principal theatre of
military operations was iocated. The
character is dashing one, with a
strong, daredevil element in it and
is unusually well suited to the young
stars personality The play is of the
romantic type and affords plenty OF
opportunity for the introduction of a
number Of delightful songs which
were specially written for the piece
by Edward Paulton. To those who
have heard Mr.. O'Hara sing in some
of his other plays, we have nothing to
suggest. but to those who have never
had that treat. we will say do not
miss the chance OF hearing one Of the
best ballad artists of the day. At the
Grand opera house, Tuesday, Dec. 10.

Passengers sleep Through IL.
The passengers on the limited knew

time it occurred and many of them did

by the bandits. However, they all had
vivid stories OF the affair, few of which
checked with the facts or with eachl
other
A purse Of S51 was made up by the
passengers and presented to Trousdale
when he left the train at SandersOn.
One OF the dead men was very bald and
both were dressed in Overalls and thin
shoes. The Winchester with which
TrousdaIe killed the second robber was
a new one and had only been fired the
one time when Trousdale shot the train
robber.
Trousdale was described as a man OF
medium height, smooth shaver and with
black hair and eyes. He was not at all
excited over his part in the holdup
and acted as=if he was delivering ex-

robbers at the Sanderson station.

company here. the robbery OF more
