THE Missouri Girl"

Manager Bentley of the local play
house takes great pleasure in announcing
to the people of Middlebury and vicinity
that he has succeeded in securing Fred
Raymond's great comedy success, "The
Missouri Girl" for date of Monday,
January 1lth here. This is the same
show exactly that plays New York,
Chicago and all the larger cities. The
company carries two complete sets of
special scenery, the smaller of which
will fit the local stage very nicely, thus
insuring the complete production the
same as seen in the regular city theatres.
AS the management here is under a
heavy expense in securing this excel
nlsLL attraction, it is to be hoped that
local theatye-goers will appreciate his
efforts to give them first class attrac-
tions, by packing the house on the above
cate. Tickets may be secured at usual
place one week in advance. adv.

The Rotten Road to Granger.

The undersigned desire to thank the
Plain Dealer, and those who had the
courage and manhood to give express
sion to their views in your good paper,
on the way the taxes of the county
have been squandered on our public
highways for two years without any
thing like value received. The article on
the Rocky Road to Dublin in your pa
per has our entire approval. and we
wish to include in the last article, the
Rotten Road to Granger"
When the whole county rises up in
Indignation as they are over the squan-
dering Of our public funds by the coun-
ty engineer and board of supervisors
as shown by the reports of the board
of supervisors in your paper from time
to time, there is something radically
wrong and rotten. Blue prints save
neither the auto tires, or the oat bin.

Notice TO Tax PAYERS.

AS a great many people have gotten
the wrong idea as to the time taxes be-
come due and delinquent. l wish to call
their attention to the following synop-
sis of the Iowa tax law
Taxes become due Jan. 1st, following
levy. Delinquent March 1st, and draw
interest at the rate of l per cent per
month from March 1st. Taxes may
be paid in two equal installments if so
desired. The first installment becomes
delinquent March 1st, the second Sept.
1st, and draw per cent per month
interest from said date if not paid. If
the first installment is not paid in
March the whole tax becomesSdue and
privilege of paying in two installments
lost. All unpaid personal property tax
goes on Jan. 1st into hands of collec-
tor with added cost for collection.
The delinquent tax list will be pub
lished the first week in November and
tax sale will be the 1st Monday in Dec.
AS all the County offices are checked
up once each year by the State Exam
iners, the Treasurers are compelled to
observe the above rules which are fixed
by the State. A l.. WHITE,

Cancellation Of Lease Asked.

The directors of the Cresco Opera
House Co. have decided to endeavor to
regain control of the opera house, and
to that end have served notice on E. H.
Allen and M. W. Appleby for cancella-
ton of the lease, and against the form
er for an accounting of the receipts,
basing their action on contract be-
tween Allen and Appleby, which is
considered as evidence of collusion in
an attempt to transfer an interest in
the lease from Appleby to Allen with
out the consent of the directors. Fail
ure of the defendants to satisfy the di-
rectors, the petition will be filed to-day
with the clerk of the court. Public
opinion is entirely with the directors in
this matter

A forceful address was given by Mr..
Waters, practical business cattleman

l.. the social problems of to-day and
made himself acquainted with facts
which are startling and should arouse

The Carnival in Full Blast.

The carnival under the auspices Of
the Firemen opened for business Tues
day evening with just fair attend
ance. Insufficient advertising and cool
weather cut down the expected attend
ance from out of town. The attrac-
tions consist of motordrome, Ferris
wheel, merry-go- round. several. shows
and the usual carnival concessions. The
motordrome and electrical show are the
favorites and deserve the patronage
given them. A dandy little Italian
band furnishes plenty of popular music.

Rural School Notes.

The success of the rural school town
ship picnics as.almost assured when,
after the big storm Sunday night,
about one hundred people came out to
the picnic in jamestown township and
seventy five at Oak Dale. The bad
weather and roads continued almost
the entire week but no where were
we disappointed in finding good at
tendance. During the entire week we
met about twelve hundred people, all of
whom were very attentive and showed
much interest in the work Mr.. Farrar
presented.
l think there was little, if any, ques-
tion in the minds of the people after
hearing Prof. Farrar that the new SUBJ
jects, domestic science, agriculture and
manual training, could be put in the
one room school to advantage if the
teachers show an interest in the work.
And the best part of it is that almost
all of the teachers were there and
showed the right spirit. Circulars and
other helps were distributed to the
teacher, explaining our plan for the
yea1, and we are expecting splendid
results.
Besides reaching the teachers and
people together, we all had rousing
good time. Although the rain prevent
ed some of the races and ball games.
it couldn't spoil the big dinner and ev-
cry one seemed to enjoy meeting his
neighbor.
This being the first time that such
meetings have been held in Howard
county we are well pleased with the
results, and believe that next year they
will be even more of a success.

Secure. Agency for Dodge Bros Car.

0eSUlSS H6euSy AVa OV"8S ~sS~
Local Sales Rights for Popular Car,
Much Sought After; 20, 900 Sold in first
Six Months.
Word was received from Detroit yes
terday, confirming the appointment Of
Cresco Auto Co. as local dealers for
Dodge Brothers in Cresco and vicinity.
Messrs. Ohmacht, Zimmerman & Biel
are today the subject of congratula-
tions on Automobile Row, as the
agency for Dodge Brothers car is one
of the most sought after of any motor
car on the market.
Just "a year ago, Dodge Brothers,
who had been manufacturing the vital
parts for more than 500, 600 motor cars,
announced that they would soon mar
ket car bearing their own name. To-
day, over 10000 satisfied purchasers Of
Dodge Brothers cars are driving their
machines daily and obtaining the ut
most in satisfaction.
Perhaps never before in the history
of the automobile industry has a new
car met with such instantaneous sue
cess as has Dodge Brothers car. Deal
ers and owners have now had year in
which to Judge the car and it goes
without saying that the public has set
its stamp of approval on this popular
priced car. Not only has the factory
been oversold from the very beginning,
but even today, when the first rush
might be expected to be over, we have
three purchasers for every car we can
get.
In bringing out their new car Dodge
Brothers set an entirely new standard
for the popular priced field. Accus-
toned to securing imitation leather and
careless workmanship in low-priced
cars, the motoring public was agree
ably surprised to find genuine leather
upholstery, excellent springs and up-to-
the minute equipment on the new
Dodge Brothers car. We feel that
every sale of car means an additional
booster and are preparing for the big
gest season in the history of our busi-
ness.
Dodge Brothers new automobile is a
real car in every particular. Freakish
design has been carefully avoided and
the bearsiful stream-line body is com
bined ezin powerful 1896 horse pow
er motor, TO make an ideal car for five
passengers. 1t is big roomy car in
every sense of the word, having
wheelbase of 10 inches and wheels 81
by 81 inches. The motor is cast enbloc
and has bore of 81 inches and stroke
4a inches. Electric lighting and start
ing apparatus is included, and the
equipment in every way suggests the
car of So, 900 rather than one of S785,
the price which Dodge Brothers have
made. Real leather upholstery and the
latest type Of self-lubricating springs
makes the car one of the easiest riding
machines that has ever been marketed.
Among the unusual features on the car
is the speedometer drive, which is con-
nected directly to the transmission and
is, therefore, practically trouble proof.
The arrangement of the transmission
gears is also novel one, no gears ex-
cept the third being in operation when
the car is driven on direct drive.
