ADJUSTMENTS.
Angel Keeps public Cool.

There are two things which should
be spoken of principally, in mention
ing the excellence of this weeks bill
at the Hippodrome. Probably the
thing of first Importance is the cool
ness of the big theater itself. Twen-
ty-two oscilating and two large wood
en- fans have been placed in the a di-
forum both upstairs and down and
to cap the climax of the cool situa-
tion,' four hundred pound cakes of
ice have been placed in the radiators
beneath the floor and fans beneath
these to send up chilled air. The
|arrang ement is unusual but the idea,
however crude, works we'll and serves
its purpose splendidly. eff there is
another place in this house that we
can place fan, we are going to put
lit In said the manager today. 1t will
be the pleasure of the proprietor to
keep the Hippodrome as cool as pos
sible all during the hot months.
The bill now playing Is one of the
best that has been seen. Since the
winter circuits have been closed up,
some of the Orpheum's books and
those from the Sullivan-Considine Cir
cults are being sent to Keokuk Mel
usco and Levina in straight and
crooked magic who top the first half
Of the weeks bill are exceptionally
fine. Their act is interesting as well
as amusing. The straight" magic

many laughs.

of the best popular singers to come to

known as the college Boy and the
