COMING ATTRACTIONS

The following is copied from the
New York World in review of the
Cleopatra pictures which will be
shown at the Grand today and tomor
row matinee and night:
Needles to say Miss Gardner as
Cleopatra fits the part so perfectly
that with her personality and rare
charms one almost feels himself back
in royal Egypt watching the sport of
kings; Mr.. Sindelar as Marc Antony,
has the dignity and bearing for such
a part. One admires the old warrier,
Ventidius (Mr. Waite), who, rather
than give himself into the hands of
the enemy falls upon his sword.
Pharon, the slave, (Mr. Howard) de-
serves special mention for his brilliant
work. Kaphren, captain of the guard,
(Mr. Knowles), is another strong part
well acted. Much can be said in
praise of Iras Chairman, Octavia, Do
NEEDLES, Octavius and many others
who assisted by clever acting to make
this so superb a picture.
Each of the five parts seems in it
self beautifully conceived picture
leaving to a discriminating audience
the choice of which appeals most
strongly. However, the tomb scene
shows Miss Gardner at her best and
affords fitting climax.
The matinees will begin at $50 and
at night at $50 o'clock.
Among the notable attractions
scheduled for presentation at the
Grand will be Henry w. Savage's pro-
duction of Rupert Hughes farce, Elk
cuSe Me-" Saturday matinee and night.
Mr.. Savage has very justly earned the
reputation of a manager who never
does things by halves and in his

he will show the same skill, discrim-
ination and care that has character
lied every production touring under
his management. The. piece ran in
New York one year. The cast will in

Greenstreet. Galwey Herbert, VIM. v
Strunz and many others who made
this farce a supreme success.
Unlike most musical comedies, "a
| Modern Eve the Berlin operetta
which stirred Chicago to enthusiasm
during the past summer, is net a sue
cess because of the individual efforts
of any one of equal opportunities. The
success of "A Modern Eve lies with
in itself. The book is so good that it
would be an interesting entertainment
without the music. AS for the music,
its alluring qualities are demonstrated
in the vogue possessed by most of the
melodies, particularly the Goodbye

April 4th.
What will be to many people the
most important theatrical event of the
season is the appearance of Maude

James Matthew Barrie's classic fairy

happiness is known throughout the
English-speaking world. Had the

and applauded as successes, but they

Nine Months School for Keota District

Nine Months School for Keota District
At meeting Of Keota school board
last Saturday it was decided to continue
all schools in this district two months
more, making the term nine months
long. This is the usual length Of term
in the old districts. but in the past lack
of sufficient school funds has limited
many of the newer districts to shorter
terms. The local board believes, and
rightly, that the children here are en-
titled to all the advantages Of schooling
that children get elsewhere; and are
disposed to see that they get them, too,
if it il at oil possible. The action was
taken by Secretary w. K. Bowles, and
Treasurer Ira s. Griffin, Of the Board.
President Walker was absent. but his
views on the subject were well known,
and the action has his approval.
This district has not yet been obliged
to register any Of its warrants, having
sufficient funds to meet expenses ~
they came due. The levy Of twenty
mills, voted last spring, has been de-
clared illegal. owing to an irrsgularity
in passage Of the law permitting in
creased leviss, 20 the old rate Of fifteen
mills was used in settlement Of the
Burlington tax. BY this decision the
district loses about six hundred dollars
Of revenue. but the increased assess
msnt makes the school fund consider
ably larger than it has bsen in the past,
while for the next year It will b still
larger.

Reed went along the ca. c-'.'.,s..g JS.ag fnl
hot boxes. About the middle he dis.
covered man riding the rods. He
called to him to come out. The man
compiled and pulled q revolver on
Reed when he arose from under the
car. The men grappled and during
the fight for possession of the weapon
Reed was stunned. The tramp robbed
him Of watch, his pockstbook and
his Rock Island pay check, and ran
across the fields toward the south.
Reed staggered to the caboose and
reported his encounter to Conductor
Marts. who started In pursuit Of the
holdup, with Reed following. They
crossed an open field and Marts saw
the man hiding behind tree. He com.
manded him to give himself up. The
desperate responded by opening fire.
shooting three times and killing Marts.
Others Of the train crew knew nothing
of what was going on, as Reed and
Marts were in charge OF the rear end
Of the train alone. Engineer Chris
Kunn Of Denver started to pull the
train out Of the siding. when Matt Dai.
ley. forward brakeman. reported that
something was the matter at the rear
