Who Will Appear With The Manhattan Theatre Co., in Decorah at Grand Opera House, Fair Week Governor Carroll .Names A tty. \V. J. Springer of New Hampton to Succeed Judge Fellows. Governor Carroll on Thursday ap- pointed Attorney W. J. Springer of New Hampton Judge of the Thir- teenth Judicial District of lowa, to succeed the late Judge L. E. Fellows of Lansing. The appointment is gen- erally regarded as the logical one to be made, and will meet with univer- sal approval over the district, both among the members of the bar of the various counties and the people. At the time of the nomination in convention of Judge Fellows some fourteen years ago, Mr. Springer was defeated by Judge Fellows by only one and one-half votes, and upon the death of the latter the people of the district naturally turned to him as the logical man for the place, and Governor Carroll followed their wish- es in making the appointment, it be- ing recommended by a large number of the attorneys of the district, we understand. Judge Springer is a man sixty years of age, a member of the law firm of Springer, Clary & Condon of New Hampton, one of the most able and successful firms in the district. He is a man of even temperament, de- liberate, conservative, without strong prejudices, and has the qualifications needed for the position. We have every reason to believe that Judge Springer will maintain the high standard of the court as did his la- mented predecessor. Mr. and Mrs. Ben Bear and Mrs. Edward Bear departed in their auto early Saturday morning for Cedar Rapids, Clinton and Chicago, where they will visit the former's daugh- ters, Mrs. S. G. Heller and Mrs. D. S. Benjamin, in Chicago and Spring- held. Mr. Bear will go on from there to New York, to spend two weeks in the eastern markets, while the la- dies remain in Chicago. This is the 73rd time Mr. Bear has gone to New York on a similar trip, twice each year, and it is dif- ficult to say anything new about it, for he always goes with the same idea, the same determination, to search New York carefully and dili- gently for the best there is in the line of clothing. Ordinary stuff doesn’t go at the Bear store. It has to be the very highest type of effic- iency, or it is cast aside. And be- sides this, the price must be the lowest it can be obtained for any- where, for it is bought for spot cash. These things have made the Ben Bear store for nearly forty years the synonym for the best possible goods at the lowest possible price. What more could any man ask for? We neglected to mention last week an event of more than ordinary im- portance in the northeastern part of the county, the celebration of the flfthieth wedding anniversary of one of the venerable couples of that sec- tion. Hon. and Mrs. Nels Larsen, who have lived there fifty years, hon- ored and respected and esteemed by all who know them. On Sunday be- tween three and four hundred peo- ple responded to the invitations that had been quietly sent out without the knowledge of Mr. and Mrs. Lar- sen, and it was an occasion of great enjoyment. Their six living children and their families were all present, including twenty-five grand-children, one greatly enjoyed the occasion. Rev Seehuus and several others made congratulatory addresses, and every- lIFMODEL OPERA HOI'SE. Extensive Improvement* Will Make Decorah’s Beautiful Playhouse Modern in Every Respect. During the closed season the Grand opera house, the beautiful the- atre built a good many years ago by the business men of the city and still owned and conducted by them, is being completely remodeled and improved, so that when It is thrown opc/n to the public within a few weeks it will be a handsome, mod- ern theatre, such as a city several times the size of Decorah might well be proud of. The complete rebuilding of the big roof has just been finished. This includes the replacing of the old roof with a complete new slate roof, with iron valleys, eaves, etc., which makes it permanent, substantial and safe from fire. This work has been done by the H. F. Thompson Boat & Pat- tern Works of this city, the same concern which did the slate roofing job on the new federal building. Inside the entire theatre will be handsomely redecorated in tan and cream by A. M. Kelly, who is an expert in this line of work. Nickle rods with new plush curtains will adorn the rear of the lower floor in the foyer and balcony rails; new Brussels carpets will be put down throughout the building; and attrac- tive new electric fixtures to harmon- ize with the improvements will be placed on the side walls. The wood- work will all be repainted through- out the whole building. Ln fact the entire theatre will be transformed into a beautiful playhouse, which, with the exceptional bookings already secured for the coming season, prom- ises to make it one of the most popu- lar in the history of our beautiful play-house. The management have also con- tracted for a new advertising plant of steel bill boards, which are to be placed in attractive locations about the city, replacing the old unsightly boards. The opening attraction for the sea- son will be “Graustark,” sent us by the United Play Co., which sent “The Third Degree” here, and will be a production that will attract theatre- goers for miles about. Maxwells Win Everywhere. Two Texas farmers, driving their own Maxwell cars, won the runabout and touring car divisions of the Far- mers and Ranchmen’s Endurance Contest from Dallas, Tex. to San An- tonio and return, occupying six day 3 from July 22 to 27. A third Max- well, carrying the pilot and chief ob- server, took the thirty-five contest- ants over their seven hundred mile course without a miss and a fourth Maxwell, bearing Starter C. P. Cun- ningham, finished each day’s run with a clean record and early enough to permit the officials to check in the contestants at each night control. The contest was conducted by a Texas farm publication and limited strictly* to farmers and ranchmen who own automobiles. Owners were required to drive and in most cases they were accompanied by their f an - ilies. D. W. Rutherford, of Waxa- haeie, drove his Maxwell touring car with three other passengers, making a perfect score and winning the first 1 rize consisting of cash and a loving cup. in the runabout division L. B. Blair, of Alvarado, Tex., with Mrs. Blari riding as a passenger, won the first cash prize and several pieces of automobile equipment. Uncle SainN Gold Bricks. The postoffice department estimates that the American people lost $120,- 000,000 last ear through swindlers and fake enterprises largely conduc- ted through the mills. All this is a tax on the people just as much as the one the assessor lays. If the people who dropped this money had been content to put it into the thousands of standard in- vestments tliat are offered them, new railroads could have been built, and new factories would tend to create new wealth and keep money in cir- culation. The whole trouble is that a lot of gullible peorle cannot seem to learn that enterprises that promise a high Investment return are risky. Tue or- dinary investor cannot expect to get much more than five per cent on his money. A woman with no knowl- edge of business, unless she can have the personal advice and careful at- tention of some competent business man who is acting from disinterested motives, makes a mistake in trying to get more than four to four and one-half per cent. When an enterprise solicits the aid of the general public and promises 1 0 per cent, the small investor should Keep out, or take the advice of a conservative banker. If there was good security for the investment, it would have been snapped up by the wealthy men long before. People economize bo much on the truth, it is ao wonder they have to stretch it for some occasions. A COMPLETE COMPANY. Engagement for Fair Week Includes Full Company of Coni{>etcnt Actors. It sometimes happens that you go to a show and see a well advertised star in a play particularly adapted to the star’s peculiar ability while the supporting actors seem to he mere puppets, yet the play on the whole does not please. Why? You have been to a play that has been arranged to bring out the star's ability and at the same time the good qualities that the play might have possessed have been curtailed to keep the support :n the background, making an enviable reputation for said star in order to enhance her commercial value in sea- sons to come. That is what is term- ed a “Tailor Made’’ play; they serve the purpose of gratifying the whims of the star, make plausible the excuse of engaging a poor grade of actors in tne support, and with a wealth of good advertising the season is made profitable. But —you didn’t enjoy ;t —outside of the star. That theory however, has been exploded. The American public have tabooed it, they want good plays with good parts in the hands of good actors. With this end in view, The Manhattan Theatre Co. has engaged Miss Martin for a starring tour, and surrounded her with a cast of unsurpassed excellence in the repertoire field, and last, but not least, present a line of plays that give opportunity to each individual actor. “Just Plain Molly” has eight star parts. “The Maid and the Min- ister” the same. “At Valley Forge” practically an all star play, to say nothing of the “Three Twins’’, “The Cutest Girl in Town. “Ostler Joe,” “The Prosecuting Attorney” and “The Suffragette, also “The Sweetest Girl in Dixie.” At the Opera Rouse one solid week commencing Monday, Sept. 9th.
