Elsewhere in The Republican today
will be noticed the advertisement of
Messrs. Renninger G Offutt, attor-
neys for the mortgage, for the sale
at public auction of valuable farm
located near Accident, this county, the
property to be sold being the home
farm of the late George Ault and is
done so that the estate may be set
tied at once.
In last Thursdays casualty list ap-
peared the name of Private Budd B.
Ship, of Crellin, who was a member
of the 313th Infantry and suffered the
loss of his right arm at the battle of
Montfoucon in early October. Private
Shipp is now at one of the Baltimore
hospitals and expects to be sent to
his home within few weeks. He ar
rived from overseas Monday of last
week, but his condition, owing to his
wound would not permit him being
sent home upon his arrival at his ma
tive shores.
Messrs. David and Julius Walter,
of Oakland, returned home Tuesday
morning from a visit of day or two
to their brother Private Albert Wal
ter at Camp Meade who recently re-
turned from overseas and has been at
the Maryland cantonment ever since
recuperating from wound which he
received in the foot when he was
struck by piece of shrapnel at the
battle of the Argonne during the ear
~ part of October. The wound was a
severe and very painful one, his foot
having been pierced from toe to heel
by the missile. He expects to receive
his discharge early next week, when
ne will return to his home in Oakland.
In an effort to list and have ready
for the annual levy for the present
year, the Board of County Commits
sioners for this county are in session
and have been for the past two weeks
or more, passing upon the personal
property schedules submitted by the
owners, which covers all manner of
personal belongings. The Commits
sioners are using excellent Judgment
in going over the schedules and are
making reductions where they find the
owners have placed higher value up
on their holdings than the assessment
law contemplates, while on the other
hand they hold those up to the strict
letter of the law who attempt to
dodge and escape payment of their
just proportion of the taxes, and for
tunately there are comparatively few
of this class who reside in the county.

"SUNSHINE"

| About three decades ago music low
ers were entranced by what at that
time was known as comic opera: bu.
in the eighties the production of this
class OF entertainment declined and
later disappeared entirely from sight
and hearing. In those good old
days" there were such offerings as

Normandy" "The Mascot" THE Pi.
rates of Penzance," "Fatinitza" and
more than score of similar produc-
tons that required the services OF
singers and actors of the first class.
The comic opera was succeeded by
what is now called musical comedy
and comedy with music, and none
will admit that the later entrants are
in any way equal in quality or inter.
est to their predeces sors on the
stage. Theatergoers In Keokuk who
are old enough to recall the comic

but in the vocal department he Is ".
mentally lacking. While he intro

OF the members of his supporting
company, who could induce sweet

for long and continuous applause.
Yet Mr.. earle, in face OF his lack of
the singing voice, was large part
of the entertainment, and there Ger.

The plot of Sunshine" is laid in

a former Winter Garden beauty, and
an American life insurance agent, |
