Statement by the Cre.co Opera House
Company.

To correct very general misunder-
standing regarding the two theatrical
attractions, "Tipperary," presented
last Monday night, and Fiske O'Hara,
who comes on Aug. 2sth, and also in
fairness to the Crssco Opera House Co.
word. of explanation seems necessary.
We open our season of 1856 on
Aug. 2sth, presenting Fiske O'Hara,
an actor-singer of national reputation
and his own company in the Irish COM
edy drama Kilkenny" written for
him by August Pitou, playwright
also Of national reputation. The Opera
House Co. books only IL attractions
and 'Tipperary" is not one of our Of
ferings.
The patronage we give Fiske O'Hara
and attractions Of like calihre this sea-
son will determine whether we will be
rated as ''big show town. or con-
tinue among those satisfied with the
tank" shows. The Opera House Co.
asks your cooperation in the effort to
provide worthy attractions and will en-
deavor to deliver what it advertises.

All O'Hara'. Songs Written Especially
for Him.

On Aug. 2sth. Augustus Pitou, Jr.,
presents the young Irish actor-singer,
Fiske O'Hara, at "The Cresco" in a
new play from the pen of the elder
Pitou, entitled Kilkenny" The songs
which MIR. O'Hara sings are delightful
and appealing and include among
others, "Girl Of My Heart" "Con-
trary Mary Clary," ireland is Ireland
to Me-" 'Dear Mother Mine," and
''That's What an Irishman Means"
The author has chosen Kilkenny, Ire
for the locale of the play, and the per-
iod is 1910 when the Emerald Isle was
in the heyday of its social glory.
In Mr.. O'Hara's supporting COM
pany will be found such well known
players as Mabel Juline Scott, Marie
Quinn, Mary Downs, Anna Nichols,
Lisle Bloodgood, Eliza Mason, w. T.

With Cresco playing its regular team
and Postville strengthened with an Ell
kader pitcher, the home team won by
a score of to 4, Cresco making four
of it's scores in the first inning which
rather disheartened their opponents.
The Elkader pitcher also proved to be
no puzzle to the Cresco boys. A large
number from Cresco autoed down to
see the game.
Cresco plays Adams on the Flood dia-
mond next Sunday. Adams has de-
feated the strongest teams in southern
Minnesota, including LIE Roy, and as
the Cresco boys are doing some good
work, those who attend next Sunday
will see a fast game. Turn out and

That ''Rotten Road to Riceville. 4"

The Riceville Recorder reprints the
article under the above caption pub
lished in the Plain Derler of last week
and adds; "The foregoing from the
Cresco Plain Dealer may be little for
chile but anyone who has been over
that road since it was graded down es-
pecially the Riceville end of it, will not
have been obsessed by the most pleas
ant of thoughts nor have felt like hav-
ing given expression to the most re-
fined language.
The writer in conversation recently
with motorist who had just made a
run of from between two and three
hundred miles over the state said that
the Kearns hill was the worst road he
had encountered.
Another man earlier in the season
coming by automobile all the way from
Des Moines, had to come to Riceville
to get stuck in the mud. This con-
dition is not pretty to contemplate, and
we have kicked and kicked about it
until we feared we might be called a
chronic crouch.
Somebody is to blame for the con-
dition of that road; we shall not try to
fasten the blame. Whoever it is, cOun-
ty engineer or board of supervisors,
will confer favor and earn the ever
lasting gratitude Of this neck of the
woods if they would fix that road into
some semblance of public highway. y

That Horrible Riceville Road.

A troop of nineteen Boy Scouts from
Usage under the guidance of scout
master H. C. Austin, editor of the
Usage News, are spending this week
in camp at Dunning's spring. They
made the trip from Usage by auto, ar
irving here shortly after noon in four
cars. They reported that the roads
were good for the most of the way.
Through Howard county they struck
many rough places and west of Cresco
the roads were muddy. In Winnie
shiek county, despite the hills, the 60
ing was good all the way. .-Decorah

Cre,co Boy Wed. an Eastern Belle.

An announcement of the marriage on
5th, following his graduation on June
4th from the Annapolis Naval Academy,
of Ensign Edouard Victor Isaacs, U. S.
N, and Miss Agnes Elmer Cabell has
been received here and will be of inter-
est to the many friends of Ensign
Isaacs in this section.
The marriage was solemnized in the
historic and picturesque St. Mary's
church of Annapolis, Md, during a
nuptial mass solemnized by Rev. Faith
er Barron. The church occupies the
site of the old Carroll plantation, part
of the estate left to a Catholic order Of
priests by the renowned Charles Car
roll of Carrolltown, one of Americas
greatest patriots. An interesting CO.
incident in connection with the mar
riage being solemnized at this church
is that the bride is directly descended
from the CAROLS of Carrolltown, be-
longing to that branch known as the
Cabells of Virginia. She is daughter
of Lieut-Col. and Mrs. de Rosey Car
roll Cabell of the 10th U. S. Cavalry,
and on her mothers side traces her an
cestry back to Daniel Boone, the Ken
lucky patriot. Her grandmother.
widow of the late Col. Otis, U. S. A.
was a grandniece of Daniel Boone.
Mr.. Isaacs is son of Mr.. and Mrs. B.
Isaacs Of Cresco, and his forbears are
an old French family Of Alsace-Lor-
raine and his family are among the
early pioneers of Cresco.
He was graduated from the United
States Naval Academy on June 4th,
with credit. During his four years at
the academy he was prominent in ath-
letics, maintained high average in
scholarship and held the command Of
the L. 1st company.
The wedding was a brilliant affair
attended by number of naval officers
in full uniform. A reception followed
and after tour of the Blue Ridge
country, Ensign Isaacs and bride will
reside at Philadelphia. the port of the
battieship Kansas, to which he is at
tached. Dubuque Telegraph.

Without exception, patrons of Zip
perary" on Monday evening felt that
they had been stung, and that instead
of seeing as advertised, "the theatrical
treat of the season" they had paid 75c
to see fair 1O-2O-3O ''rip-and-tear"
production.
Many out of town people came long
distance under the impression that they
were to see Fiske O'Hara, which comes
to the opera house, Aug. 28th, and for
this reason the disappointment is to be
deplored, for if the patrons of the
Opera House are in any manner misled
into believing that inferior shows are
backed by the Cresco Opera House Co.
it will work an enormous injury to the
citizens who have stock in the opera
house and made its erection possible.
We feel that the opera house COM
pany made big mistake in subletting
the opera house, especially to firm in
which one of its then directors was a
partner. The profits of the opera house
should be directed to repaying in some
degree, if possible, the stockholders in
the opera house company.
However, get the bad taste of Tip
perary out of your mouth by going to

duction guaranteed by the manage
ment of the Cresco Opera House Co.,

Good Road. in Winneshiek.

By lodging the holes in the road east
of Cresco-in Howard County-we got
onto the Winneshiek roads Tuesday and
went to Decorah to see the auto races.
The roads to Decorah, including some
graded last year, was simply fine, one
Cresco editor-and it was not the
writer making the return trip in his
Ford in 65 minutes. He couldn't make
that time on any roads in Howard
County on which we have driven. The
road builders of Howard are too busy
surveying for more grading to drain
the water off the present roads, fill up
the mud holes that have existed all
season, and see that dragging is done as
contemplated by law.
A few weeks ago new culvert was
put in near the j. J. Lowry farm, and
where before the road was fairly good,
wide mudhole now exists fed by a
stream of water which could be DETECTED
bya few hours work. The culvert, how
ever is high and dry, but with glorious
bumps and holes on either side.
Just north of Cresco, on the Granger
road-a county road-there is half
mile or more of almost impossible sand
and in addition small hill so. stony
that it's sharp rocks are like knives to
every auto tire that passes over them.
| In the spring survey was made and
we understand blue prints of the pro-
posed improvement, and a promise
made that the work would be done right
after corn planting, the farmers resid-
ing near by agreeing to each donate
two days work to assist in fixing up a
good road. In spite of all this, the
road making authorities have done NO
more to fix the road, the farmers
are disgusted and say they will not dc
the work promised, and people from
Granger tell US they are hauling te
Lime Springs and Bonair to avoid the
horrible roads north of Cresco.
| Rural carriers from Cresco report al
most impossible places which have ex
listed for weeks. Carrier No. was
compelled for several days to omit 9
portion of his route because the roat
authorities failed to repair a bridge
where approaches have been in bat
condition all summer Carrier No. {
reports mudhole south of, the New
4 Oregon cemetery 50 bad that Tor. days
he must suspend auto service wher
other roads on hisaroute are fairly good.
The big grader engine is headed that
way-when the roads get so it can get
there-but the hole in question has ex-
listed for six weeks and not thing has
been done to remedy it. Carrier No. 2
has been compelled to discontinue an
auto service which accommodated all
the patrons of the route and the people
of Granger also, because hill impas-
sible for an auto is allowed to 60 un-
graded. With thousands of dollars
being spent in Howard County this
year, it is strange that these conditions
can not be remedied. Taxpayers should
make it their business to fix the respon-
sibility for the waste of the public road
money, and when fixed, the delinquents
should get the boot.
