All the friends of that brave young
soldier, Robert L. Anderson, viii be
glad to know that he is now a captain,
notice of his promotion arriving at
his home here yesterday. Captain An
derson has been thru the thick of it.
His battery Of light artillery has al

except when it was right with it. He
went over the top with the dough-
boys more than once. and writes home
that he doesn't know how he is alive,
but he is. He and his brother, Lieut.

"POM-PoM"

/ When "Pom-Pom," the successful
musical comedy of Henry W. Savage,
will be on view at the Temple theater
Wednesday, Feb. 18th. there will be
seen an attraction that packed New
York theater for a whole season and
was universally praised. Edith Thayer
heads notable cast that numbers
such names as Grace Hunter, Beat
rice Cliff. Jane Carroll. Betty Webber,
William j. Mccarthy. Ed M. Favor,
Tom Walsh. Frank M. Squire, Charles
Prince. William Ritter. Charles Ange-
10, James S. Ryan, William c. Allery
Fred Bond and Larry Lawrence. An
re Caldwell, who wrote the book from
a suggestion given her by Mr.. Saw
age, the producer, had a happy fac
ulty of writing popular musical COM
edies for years but in "Pom-Pom" shs
excelled herself for she has written a
real story that minus music would
have been drama. Hugo Felix, one of
the best known of modern composers,
incorporated true Parisian touch to
the music which breathes a spirit of
vibrant youth. The story concerns
the adventures of a comedienne who
is kidnapped on the night of her de-
but in the role of Pom-Pom, the pick
pocket. Her break from jail and ad-
ventures among a gang of thieves
provide the thrills. for she is by turns
cOmedienne, jailbird. pickpocket and
hostage. Action is the keynote Of the
production and the interest is never
allowed to lag or limp. When one
announces that the scenery is from
the skilled hands of Joseph Urban,
internationally famous, expectation is
naturally on tiptoe. The chorus, which
is speaking one, has been singled
out for especial praise. Judging from
criticisms, "Pom-Pom" is stamped as
class among comic operas.

SOUTH FOURTH STREET
Is BEING OPENED
Councilman Winer the Man Who Pui
the Deal Through

Residents In the neighborhood of
South Fourth street were agreeably
surprised this morning to see force
OF city hands busily engaged in grad
ing and opening South Fourth street
through the property of Mrs. Maize
Lyles, corner South Fourth and Wa
tula streets.
For years property owners in this
vicinity have been trying to have the
street put through from Sanchez to
Watula, distance of three blocks, in
order to drain the adjoining property.
Suits in condemnation proceedings
were brought some three years ago In
the circuit court and right of way
through all the property east of Wa
tula street, except the Lyles strip,
was obtained, some of the property
owners giving a strip of land for
the street, this being the case with the
school board trustees. The verdict in
the Lyles case. awarded by the jury
amounting to $1,000. was deemed toe
high valuation by the city, and the
council refused to pay it. The case
was taken to the supreme court, and
is still pending.
During City Manager Johnson's
term of Office survey of the street
was made and an item of $1,000 was
included in the city budget for the
current year to provide a means OF
draining the street with culverts, etc
Councilman A. A. Winer determined
that the best method of draining the
/ street was to open it through the three
blocks from Sandhez to Watula anc
then install culverts where necessary
With this idea in view, he has beer
trying to purchase the entire Lyles
property, and has recently consum
mated deal whereby the city OBJ
tanned the right of way through tht
Lyles lot at a cost of $3.50 the house
and lot having been sold to Mr.. Ell. G
SistIunk, after cutting off the 34-foo'
strip needed for street purposes.
The city will now endeaUor to grade
the street and make provision to car
ry off the water with culverts. Mr.
Winer has done good piece of work
and those property owners interested
are due him a vote of thanks; the
whole town, in fact, for the schoo
property in this section will be i'm
mensely benefited by the improve
mentS.
