RECORD CROWD ASSURED.
Tickets For Iowa Anes Game at low;
Saturday Are All Sold.

The demand for tickets for the Iowa
Ames game at Iowa City SATURDAY was
two hours after the sale opened. Many
followers of the game from this city
expected to attend the annual Iowa
Ames battle, but unless they have al
ready secured tickets they will be un-
able to secure reserved seats at the
game. It is quite probable, however
that standing room may be had, but as
the crowd will be a record breaker only
the early arrivals can be taken care OF.
Reports from Iowa City are to the
effect that the enthusiasts waited in
line all OF Sunday night to secure
choice seats when the sale opened at s
o'clock Monday morning. BY 10 o'clock
the reserved sections were sold out.
Five hundred reserved seat tickets We're
sent To Aines, and there was demand
for more tickets. Several from this city
who expect to attend the game secured
tickets thru Iowa and Ames students.
An effort Is being made to learn from
the Iowa City authorities what Will be
offered in the way of extra seats and
standing room so that local fans may
know what to depend on If they make
the trip to Iowa City without being
provided with tickets.

BREACH OF PROMISE.
MAJORITY FAVORED THE
DEFENDANT FROM FIRST
Vote Showed to for Cole Estate on
First Ballot Of Jurors-Sealed Yer.
dict Returned Late Tuesday Night
Death Of Rev. Mr.. Cole Made Al.
legations Hard to Prove.

A sealed verdict, returned at 1880
Tuesday night for the defendant, was
the jury's finding that Mrs. Mary T.
Cooley had not proved her case for
$4,000 damages for breach of promise,
against the estate of Rev. Jesse Cole.
The jury went out at o'clock
From the first ballot a majority of
the Jurors was against allowing Mrs.
Cooley anything The first ballot
stood to for the estate of the dead
soldiers home chaplain. BY the third
or fourth ballot the vote was to 3,
and a little later it was 10 TO ,. The
two who stood out kept the twelve from
agreeing for an hour or two. When the
jury had not returned verdict up 10
shortly before s o'clock the attorneys
agreed to a sealed verdict.
The death of Chaplain Cole made
the case a very difficult one for the
plaintiff to prove thru any testimony
of Mrs. Cooley. who was barred from
testifying regarding personal trans
actions or conversation had with the
chaplain.

TELLS OF SENATE.
Mrs. Emily Montague Bishop Appears
Before Twentieth Century Club.


Mrs. Emily Montague Bishop, of
| New York City. appeared before the
Twentieth Century Club Tuesday even
ing at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. f.
Kellogg 210 North Center street. Mrs.
Bishop is reader and author of
marked ability. and the occasion az
forded the. large audience Of mbers
who attended rare treat.
The subject of Mrs. Bishops enter
tainment was Scenes from the Sem
ate and the program consisted of a
collection of interesting speeches made
by the different senators before the
senate on various occasions. Mrs.
Bishop gave selections from these
speeches, impersonating the senators
in voice and gestures. LaFollette OF
Wisconsin: Gore. Of Oklahoma: Bailey,
of Texas: Snoot, of Utah; and Cum
minis. of Iowa, were unprecedented, and
a speech by Uncle joe cannon
proved extremely entertaining. Espec-
tally good was the eulogy Senator core
gave at the time of Senator Delivers
death. An address for and against
woman suffrag e was also greatly en-
loved. Mrs. Bishop possesses charm-
ing personality and the humor IN her
selections was brought out IN quiet
and disnified manner.
At the close of the program. refresh
ments were served by Misses Hazel
Kellogg. GLADYS and Gerna Carney,
Lauretta Nichols. Bernice Robb, Eliza
beth Urine. Clemewell Lay Marie
Clemens and Mabel Young. The house
was prettily decorated with pink chrys-
anthem umus.
Guests from out of the city were
Miss Lucille Bacon, of Omaha, and Mr..
and Mrs. c. H Seager. OF San Antonio.

ADJUSTMENTS.
"Ths Tik.Tok Man Of Or Proves De.
lishtful Attraction.

Tho Tiki Man OF Or Proves De-
lshtfuI Attraction.
Filled with pretty music, some OF It
in capable hands; good chorus,
clever dancing, an abundance of clean
comedy. pretty scenery. and gorgeous
consuming. THE Tik-Tok Man of OF"
q companion piece to 1.-The Wizard of
o." proved delightful attraction at
the Odeon Tuesday night
The big audience that witnessed the
production was more than satisfied,
and prolonged the performance al least
half an hour by continued applause.
To THE Wizard Of o." the newer
extravaganza compares most favorably
and In some respects excels the first
production Of L. Frank Baum, when
he dramatizad his book for children
so successfully. Louis F. Gottschalk
wrote the music for the later produc-
ton.
The Tik-Tok Man Of Or" is more
than an extravaganza Of fairyland. It's
music has merit and for the most part
is extremely catchy. The chorus was
exceptionally good, particularly the
male section. The ballet was in keep
ing with the elaborateness Of the en-
tire production. and the harmonizing
of colors in the costuming was in re-
markedly good taste.
One thing unusual in the chorus is
the fact that the members are for the
most part western people. due to the
fact that the producer. Oliver Morosco,
is not a New Yorker, but from San
Francisco. Mr.. Morosco decided to try
out the novelty of getting a chorus for
big production outside of New York,
and his judgment proves to have been
good.
Among the principals of the cast are
two most clever teams. Greenwood and
Grant. and Moore and Morton. Char
lotte Greenw God was the real hit Of the
evening. and this vaudeville stars
clever work brought forth a contagion
in laughter that was impossible to
dispel. Her dancing and team sketches
with Sydney Grant were also extreme
