East and South Ward Graded School.

The citizens of Salisbury held
quite an enthusiastic meeting last
Monday night in the old court
house. The object of the meeting
was q new school building for the
accommodation of the children in
the east and south wards. All
agree that the growth of our town
amply justiies another building
more conveniently located.
Rev. W. B. Duttera and Messrs.
]. G. Kestler. W. M. Ruth 1.
Slider, G. J. Norman, T.. j. Rabe,
A. l.. Smoot, Mayor Woodson
and others made enthusiastic
talks in behalf of the new school.
It was clearly shown that the
small children particularly need
ed a more convenient school. That
there were too many children to
be located in m building. Dan.
ger of fires, diseases, injuries of
various kinds, long walks across
the city through rains, mud, snow,
sleet, etc., were detrimental to the
children receiving an education
All the children masssd in one
building makes things too con.
gested. There is not sufficient
room for the teachers to give pro.
per instruction. The child at.
tending school half a day, some
in the morning and some in the
afternoon, renders the time en-
tlrely too short, and wastes the
chlld's educational advantages
The mayor suggested selling the
lot on corner Of Lee and Fisher
streets. put that amount in the
East Innes street. lot, and then
build a school house.
The following committee was
appointed to meet the joint meet.
ing last night and lay their claims
before them: DR.. W. B. Duttera,
Aessrs. J. @. Kestler, E. M. eau
BILE, F. M. Glover, John Kesler,
A. W. Edwards. and W. M. Ruth.
Our city is becoming too large
to try to have all the children in
one school. No other city of any
size attempts such a thing. We
must arrange for more school
buildings, and now is the time
when all are wide awake to the
situation.

OPENING Of THFAT:
R|CAL SEASON
Joe Weber, Producing Manager, is
the Only Actor-M Manager in
This Country.

Joe Weber, the producing mana
ger of the new German-French
American musical farce, alma
Where Do You Liver" which he will
present in English at the armory op-
era house next Saturday evening,
this being the opening play of the
present theatrical season, with Miss
Eleanor Newly in the stellar role,
is the only actor-manager in ihjs
country it is said who owns his own
theatre outright.
There are others who lease houses
in New York or have control Of tho
engagements in certain houses, but
Mr.. Weber is the sole owner Of
Weber's Theatre. 1t was in this
house that he first made a successful
production of Alma and by the sheer
daintiness of the Interpretation fore
ed it's acceptance by the New York
public. The result was that the

at Weber's and will be seen here for
the first time direct from its New
York run.
1t is this ownership of his own
theatre which has made Mr.. Weber
a most successful man in theatrical
affairs. 1t is the individuality Of
ideas that counts. And he being alb
solutely his own manager, Mr.. Web
er is able to get away from the
many ideas which always come from
a group of men. He conforms him
self only to his own opinions. He
listens, makes up his mind, and then
goes ahead. The result is such a
splendid production as Alma

A New Court House?

Since the suggestion was made in
last evenings paper that the court
house might we'll be treated with
the pebble dash which is being used
on the Baptist church, considerable
discussion and argument for and
against any improvements has been
raised. Several groups Of business
men were overheard this morning
and each seemed of the opinion that
when any improvements were made
that a complete new building should
be erected and be made so that it
will adequately meet the demands
of the county's business for many
years to come. However, each of
them was firm in the opinion that
a county as rich as this should make
some improvements of some kind be-
fore any great length of time. as its
appearance, they say, is very poor
compared to other court houses in
this judicial district and it seems
fairly certain that the board of Su-
pervisors will be asked TO again sub
nit the question of the erection Of
a new court house to the voters in
the near future.

THE iowa WEATHER
AND CROP REPORT
Corn Crop in Northern Half Of
State in Good Condition.
Potatoes Damaged.

Des Moines, Aug. 25.-The high
temperature and hot winds that
prevailed the forepart of last week
did considerable damage. The latter
part of the week, however, was
cooler, with more or less cloudiness
and local showers on two or three
days in a few localities. But the
week was hot and generally dry, the
average temperature being about 9
degrees above normal. The rainfall
was nil or light except over the east
central district and in portions of
Madison, Union, Adams and Deca-
tur counties, where the amounts eX-
ceeded an inch. The hot winds were
very damaging to corn, and on high
and sandy land the crop is badly
fired. However, with normal wealth.
err, during the next three weeks the
northern half of the state will pro-
duce more per acre than the state
average of past years. In the south
ern counties the crop will be much
below the average, yet in some To-
calities, where timely showers oc-
Cured, the yield will exceed thirty
bushels per acre. The dry, hot
weather was also damaging to pota-
toes, pastures, apples and garden
truck. Geo. M. Chapel,

C0LLNAR BROTHERS
CIRCUS PARADE
Street Parade Reveals Character Of
the Show-In This City
Sept. 9TH.

The Gollmar Brothers show which
exhibits in this city on Monday,
Sept. 9Th, features everything con-
nected with it, from the street par
ade to the concert. The press OF
other cities have made only the most
favorable comment for Gollmar
Brothers parade. Even when the
show visits territory where it has
never been, it's magnificent street
pageant so agreeably surprises the
public that they are sure to crowd
the big tents.
1t is in the parade that the man.
agement of a circus can show to
good advantage the stability and
character of the aggregation. If it
is cheap concern, giving only Or
binary performances, its parade will
tell the tale. If it is really merton
ious the street display will demon
strate the fact. The splendid
equipment of the Gollmar Brothers
circus is shown to excellent advant-
age in the big parade and it is al
ways complimented. The horses are
in fine trim. and the tableaX, wag-
ons, dens. cages and chariots are re-
splendently decorated with costly
carvings, gilt and varnish. An I'M
usually large number of dens are
open in the parade, and the general
public is given a free exhibition of

.fYANCEL|ST|C SER
VICES BEGIN SEPT. 6
To be Conducted by Rev. Bruce
Brown, Former Pastor of
Church of Christ,

The members of the Christian
church count themselves exception
ally fortunate in securing so able
man as DR.. Bruce Brown for their
evangelistic services beginning Sept.
9Th, as his time is regularly occu-
pied in the west in the larger and
most important centers. But hav-
ing spent the summer in Iowa and
the middle west on the Chautauqua
platform made it possible for him to
accept the invitation of the church
here before returning to the larger
work in southern California. The
members of the local church cord
tally invite you to attend this SER
les of meetings, believing as they do
that it is an exceptional privilege
to sit at the feet of so great a
preacher.
Notice a few unsought words of
appreciation:
Chas. S. Medbury, University
Place Church (Des Moines)-Bruce
who devotes himself to worth while
tasks. His ministry has been fruit
full wherever he has labored. He is
abreast of his day and with fine
presence and delivery of power he
leaves an impression for good-for
he speaks.
Charles c. Chapman, known as
the "Orange King" of southern CAL
ifornia.-I have had the pleasure of
sitting at the feet of some of the
great preachers of this country and
thus have had an opportunity to
learn what constitutes good preach
ing l do not hesitate to say that
DR.. Bruce Brown sizes up with the
biggest of the preachers and his
sermons are as clear, forceful, logi-
cal and spiritual as any that l have
ever heard delivered by any one
man.
Ben B. Lindsey, Judge Juvenile
Court have lived in Denver near
ly all my life and I never heard
more general and unqualified appre-
citation expressed.
Denver Post-The invitation of
the Methodist ministers of Denver
to address them was a decided COM
plment to DR.. Browns influence in
the state and he was given an en-
reception.
Los Angeles Times-Rev. Bruce
Brown is a live wire and one OF the
most entertaining speakers in the
entire west. The Knight Templar
Masons from all over the county
assembled to hear his Easter SER
mon.

Car Ran Over Foot.

]. R. Sterling is nursing an ex-
tremely sore foot as the result of
trying to catch a moving automo-
bile. Mr.. Sterling was on the streets
yesterday noon and P. w. Hearn
asked him to ride home in the lat
ter's car Mr.. Sterling, thinking he
could catch the auto without it's
stopping, made a jump for it but
missed his footing in such a way
that his left foot went under one of
the hind wheels which passed over
it. Luckily, however, no bones
were broken, although the foot is
very painful.
