Destroys Store While Having Spree.
Oskaloosa, Iowa His brain Graz
ed with "home brew" concoction,
John Kramer of Becon, put on a
regular bull in the china shop act at
i local grocery store here recently.
He seemed possessed of but one
idea and that was that everything in
the store belonging to William Sta
ton should be demolished.
He did his task faithfully and well
and was taken to the county Jail. The
next day he tried to figure out just
where he got his new idea, anyway.
He entered the grocery about five
o'clock in the morning, by breaking
one of the large plate glasses in the
front window. Glass show cases
we're then thrown to the floor and
smashed. Stock on the shelves was
dashed to the floor, chairs and tables
were flung through the front win
dows, demolishing what glass re.
manned. Tubs and tin goods we're
pounded and dented. Screen wire
was ripped from the doors and win

Bureau Reports

Leslie H. Springer, manager of
the Salem bureau of the Ellison
White lyceum course, announces
that Lieurance' Little Symphony"
the first number of the winter
series will appear in this city, No
vember 2. The following statement
accompanies the announcements:
''The most encouraging indica-
tion that worthwhile music is real
ly appreciated comes from the
hearty reception which has been
accorded the Lieurance's Little
Symphony orchestra on its present
tour.
"In spite of this era of so-called
JAZZ good music will survive. 1t
was with some little hesitancy that
Thurlow Lieurance organized his
Little Symphony orchestra. They
present only the tsandard musical
selections because they have been
instructed to do so by their noted
director. They have musical
ideal to live up to. They believe
that the people want real good
music and that they will take it
and appreciate it at any time, in
preference to = modern popular
stuff.
IAN interesting feature of the
work of the company is the pre-
sentation of some of Mr.. Lieur-
ance's own composition. Mr.. Lieur-
ance is recognized as the greatest
American authority on Indian
music. He also is noted composer.
One of his most popular compost
tions is BY the Waters of Mime
tonka,' and this will be used by the

cial arrangement of this famous
