new Wolf Ferrari opera by selected
members of the Chicago Grand Opera

cast of grand opera stars will be
heard at each performance. The part
of the count will be taken by Costa
and Borriss, that Of the countess by
iZeppilli and Berry while the great
italian tenor, Francesca Daddi, will

and complete and Keokuk concert
and opera goers will have chance to
hear this great production at lower
prices than will be asked IN any other
city which the Chicago company will
visit with the single exception OF
Quincy. This is due to the fact that
Mr. Baker was obliged to engage the
company for several performances and
could thereby get lower guarantee

in skit entitled, Fun in a Street
Car" the possibilities of the act can
but be imagined here, as the act must
be seen to be appreciated. Every
person who has ever ridden in troll
ley car should see this act. Karl,
the one stringed genius as he is
named by the Burlington Hawkeye, is
a wonder. His violin Is composed
of a regulation cigar box with the
usual finger board and only one
string. But the one string does not
bother Karl, who produces wonder
fully sweet music from the box. Elk
pert lingering is required to master
the queer instrument and his work is
of exceptionally clever variety.

BIG EXCURSION

Today is the lorg awaited date

the joint outing and picnic OF tie
combined lodges of Redmen and
Eagles and their friends. The advance
sale of tickets was large and yestcr-
hay officials stated that preparations
had teen made to furnish transpOr-
tation for 500 people. From the re-
port heard from members of the two
orders that number win certainly he
attained when the trains leave this
morning. Last year this picnic was
one OF the events OF the season and
il seemed likely last evening that the
excursion OF today would surpass any
thing previously attempted
