THE CITY, is A
fine PRODUCTION
A Histrionic Treat-The Merits of
the Play Entitle it to a
Full House.

The City" the attrac ton at the
armory opera house Friday evening,
was real histrionic treat to those
who saw it. Hugh B. Koch, in the
principal character, has probably
had no superiors and few if any
peers among those who have APP
peared before the footlights in Web
ster City during the present or past
seasons. The support is good, the
cast being strong one. The merits
of the production entitled it to a
full house, but the attendance was
not encouraging. The Freeman
Tribune has copied two or three ex-
cellent Communications of this COM
pany during the past week from diff
ferent newspapers and it is glad to-
add it's testimony to the fact that
these tributes were not Overdrawn
in the least. 1.-THE City" is living
up to its press notices, something OF
an exception to the general rule.

A Successful Affair.

The box social and entertainment
givengiven by Miss Ethel Mabbott at
the school house northwest of town
Friday evening proved to be a
good success and all who attended
went away feeling that they had
thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
The first part of the evening was de-
voted to a we'll rendered program
in which the pupils Of the school
and Master James White and the
girls known as the J. U. G. club took
part Following this John Keisick-
er showed his ability as auctioneer
by first soliciting votes on the
"spooniest" girl and the "homeliest"
man and later by crying the sale of
the boxes. The largest number of
votes for the girl went to Miss Hazel
Ambrose, while the auctioneer him
self was forced to carry home the
honor of being the homeliest man, al
Though he still insists that there
were homelier men present. The box
that went the highest was double
one belonging to Mrs. Roy Hotchkiss
and Miss Winifred Davis, the price
paid for it being SS.75, The total
receipts for the evening came to
$50.

a very happy little social affair
Friday evening, when Mr.. and
Mrs. F. A. Huddlestun entertained
a company Of friends who helped
them celebrate their twenty-fifth
wedding anniversary. Dinner was

dining room, was very tastefully
decorated for the occasion. The host
and hostess received a number of
beautiful presents. Particular men

A PEN PICTURE OF
SENATOR CHASE
He is one of the Imposing Figures Of
the Senate-Is Something
of Poet

Register and Leader: One of the
imposing figures Of the senate is un-
mistakably that of Senator Daniel
Cady Chase of Hamilton county If
you frequent the state house at all,
you can't miss a glimpse Of this ag-
gressive and capable parsonage. You
might feebly suggest the senator's
character by saying that he is one
of those energetic persons who
wants what he wants when he
wants 1t. He has large and pict-
uresque vocabulary which he doesn't
hesitate to use with fearless fiuency.
You aren't at all sure where some of
his literary illusions come from, but
you can't mistake their force or
their pertinent application. The
senator has the fortunate faculty of
making himself perfectly clear.
Historically speaking, Senator
Chase is poet but he doesn't like
you to allude to the fact, and came
near threatening personal violence
when some of his friends suggested
producing a volume of verse which
the senator once permitted to be
published. 1t must be good poetry,
Judging from the poets sensitive re-
ticence on the subject.
Maybe I don't want to be inter-
viewed" protested the senator
stoutly, and then relented enough to
say that he might consider the mat
ter. But when 1t came to the ques-
ton of using his picture he refused
point blank, so the only possibility
OF visualizing Senator Chase will
have to lie in the way OF a. verbal
snapshot, and he will be expected to
pardon indulgently or ignore scorn-
fully and personalities which may
result
Structurally. Senator Chase is
built slightly on the order of a
curve. He has fresh, Aurora-like
complexion and his mouth is medi-
UNI large even if you should happen
to observe it closed He towers
above the average person by head
or so and has a disconcerting trick
OF walking gradually at you as he
talks. This keeps you somewhat ig-
ANONYMOUSLY in a state of slow but
continual glacier-like retreat. He
has a moderate stand of short, light
Colored hair. Under the difficulties
attendant on getting the senator
corralled the interviewer failed to
determine whether it is gray or
blond. and as mistakes in this re-
spect are likely to prove serious the
matter will have to be left in doubt.
Senator Chase was born in Web
ster City, Iowa. attended the public
schools there and later graduated
from the State University Of Iowa.
