ROBERT DOWNING Large Audience More Than Pleased. Decatur Opinion Says He is as Good in Comedy as in Tragedy. The eminent actor Mr Robert Downing apix’arod at cur openi house last evening in his new anil original comedy drama entitled "The Hon. John North" and was ably assisted by his own eompiny To say that this play is coming a success can hardly express it Never Ix'forchave the theatre going public had a chance to see Mr. Downing in line of work, and after seeing how easy he handled the work only can marvel, and say he is master of all he s< es. The house was crowded from the front row t< • the gallery and everyone press nt certainly got their money's worth) ■is the play easily excells any other that he has ever played here In speaking of Mr. Downing nothing more can be slid than that he is a actor, and each and every one o f his company stars The wmjiany i is certainly evenly bal meed troughout but jiarrienlar mention should be given to Dorothy Crane who I played the part of Mrs. John North, a hard one to master. Mon 1 than once she had the house in an uproar by her western brogue. On the | whole Mr. Downing’s company is the best that has been seen here 1 this s*'as.>n. and slnmld nianagt r' J W. B s>e be able to secure this company again it will certainly be web nned by a large and enthusias tie audience. Extended the Time. "Owing to the change being made m the gas line from the old to the new field all the consumers may expect a light shortage of gas for at least two weeks, which time it will take to make the change and to connect up the new well' to the line now being laid. As soon as the new line is laidjand’ the wells connected we expect to give better service, by far than that given during the past two years. The company now has meters on hands it is urgently requested that all persons who ei]*-ct to use gas this winter will leave their order for a meter at once so that the company may be able to make orders in advance to the manufacturers for what meters we may need for other con sumeis. We are paying a bonu' to the manufacturers in ord* r t« g- 1 all meters t< 'Upp’y vur :<i‘- r> once ami it is very hard t« _ t an order, for the demand on th»> mane facturvrs is so great that their cap-1 - '• dtoaatod a gas companies located in the gas! belt have been driven to the meter tomers We being sme .m . from the gas field' are driven ■’ _ - - . -• requiring the be<t ciass f jran.ptng machinery and from xiO to 1(X« horse poaw steam to drive the great air pressure to supply our customera with gas that :t enuds an enormous expense. J S B-wers Own g to the scarcity of meters ami the slowness of the manufacturers to supply our orders we have extended the lune for O’nsumer* to supply themselves with meter' until November Ist After that date gas will be .old only to tb se people who bare the metora.
