"rHE OLD HoMEsTEAD-


Those who love sweet music and
those who enjoy the scent of new
mown hay can have their several
( tastes gratified by visit to THE Old
Homestead" That charming PLAY
has been before the public for thirty
two years and is now on it's thirty
third annual tour. 1t is the same
simple story OF rural life in New
England that it was way back in
1885 when it was first produced as a
finished drama at the Boston Theater.
And for eleven years prior to that
Mr.. Thompson had been presenting Il
play called Joshua Whitcomb in
which he portrayed the sturdy old
fore that time Mr.. Thompson had
given for some years in variety halls,
q sketch having Uncle Josh as its
central figure. So. taking it all to-
New England farmer Uncle Josh"
has been before the theatergoing
public for nearly fifty years. The
dramatic critic hesitates when he at.
| tempts to write anything new, of
The old Homestead when char
acter has become so identified with
ithe American stage as has Uncle
JOSH" by a life of over two score
years, the poet may well falter in the
effort to say anything new And yet
this much be said! Denman Thomp-
son in presenting to the American
stage typical American character as
| it had never been presented before
endcared himslf to the theatergoing
public and made for himself mich in
the Temple of Fame as an actor and
I author.
Augustus Pitou, Inc. are present
! ing a brand new production with all
and a typical Homestead" cast
headed by William Lawrence as
''Uncie Josh" The play comes to the

w. O. HASKELL IN ACCIDENT.
Buried Under Slide Of coal--Employs
Loses Part Of Hand.

Cedar Rapids, Sept 25.--An accident
which nearly cost tho life OF Senator
w. G. Haskell and which caused the
foreman OF the Haskell yards, John
Duncan, TO lose part OF his right
hand, occurred Tuesday when the SEN
ator In company with the foreman, slid
into big coal pit with carload OF
coal sliding down upon them.
The employees were unloading a
coal car OF the gondola type. The
bottom OF these cars have large doors
in them which open, letting the entire
load Of fuel drop thru down the
chute and into the coal pit from
which It Is hoisted into the bins by
machinery. Standing over the chute
near fun load OF coal the senator
was talking with the foreman OF the
yards when tho bottom OF the big
coal car fell open. Both men were
caught between tho side OF tho car
and the coal pit shed. The plank on
which they stood was yanked out from
under them by the weight OF the rush
ing coal and they both slid down the
long shute. accompanied by tons Of
coal
The foreman made desperate CT.
fort to avert the accident and he tried
to hold the big car doors as they fell.
with the result that a part Of his hand
was literally sliced away.
Falling down into the pit both men
were covered almost to the neck with
coal. For a moment It seemed as
tho the accident might prove fatal for.
as the yard men attempted to dig the
men out more coal would rush down
from the big car above.
With the aid Of several men. how

Gravel Scarce For Road Work.

| Special to Times-Republican.
Webster City, Sept. 25.-Because OF
!, the Inability to get gravel, not over
one half of Hamilton countys roat
work planned for this fall will be COM
pleted.
Most of the gravel used hereabouts
Is shipped in, The strike of railroad
shopmen some weeks ago stopped
shipments and now the car shortage,
shortage of engines and of>help is con-
tinuing the delay. A contract for
twelve miles of gravel road out Of the
town Of Williams will not be more
than half completed this fall, due to
lack of gravel, and the board of super
visors state that the same condition
applies to other road projects in
various parts Of the county.
