The Rock Island Fayor;tes.


The Democrat thus notices three of our
favorites, in the play of "The Stranger,
recently performed over the river. Mr.
Cannon was formerly resident of this
city:
The title role was sustained by Mr.. NJ.
V. Cannon, one of the most accomplished
educators in the Catholic Schools of this
city-a gentleman possessing rare and di-
versifed talents, as was amply demon
strated by the mastery conception of the
author in his character last evening. His
case and self-possession, graceful bearing,
and his fine voice, combined with his
SPLENDID delineation of the emotions, made
up truly grand piece of acting. Mr..
Cannon, with very little experience,
would prove shining light in the thea
trical armament. He was the recipient OF
many encomiums during the evening.
Miss Shepherd, one of Rock Island S
fairest and most accomplished daughters,
sustained the leading lady-Mrs Halter,
and evinced dramatic ability scarcely
looked for outside of the professional walks
of life In some of the emotional scenes
her deep pathos in rendering of the lines
drew tears from many, and was, without
exception, powerful piece of acting, and
gave evidence of close study and fine con-
ception of her character. She firmly es-
tablished herself in the good graces Of oul
people, and will prove quite favorite.
Miss Woods, as the Counties Winter
sen. was all that could be desired, nc
overstraining, but natural, dignifed and
very pleasing. She has an adaptability
for stage business that would lead her tt
a front walk in the profession, were she tt
adopt it.

Yesterday an ARGUS reporter asked
crusader why they wished to drive 25 or
30 travellers out of this town, every Sun
day. sending them to Davenport hotels
and seriously injuring our people every
Sunday The reply was We do not wish
to do any such thing We do not seek to
prevent any hotel having saloon connect
ed with it from furnishing guests of the
house with anything they want from the
saloon, or in it either on the contrary the
keepers Of such hotels ought to have the
undisturbed privilege OF supplying their
guests or causing them to be supplied with
anything they want What we desire to
do is to compel the saloons to be closed
against our own people on Sunday, aud
stop the indiscriminate gatherings Of town
people in such places, to the detriment of
good morals and good order-and espe-
clally injurious to the young men. We are
anxious that the young men should as
sumo higher standard of morals and
manners than are to be met with in Sun
day saloon gatherings, and that is what we
mean by our demand that the Sunday law
shall be enforced against the indiscrimi-
nate sale of Intoxicating drinks on Sunday.
We have no objection, whatever, to travel
ers being furnished with whatever they
want from saloons on Sunday-they'd get
it somehow and might as well get at our
hotels Us anywhere else.

Dyspepsia Dyspepsia Dyspepsia I!

Dyspepsia is the most perplexing of all
human ailments Its symptoms are al
most infinite in their variety, and the for
lorn and Respondent victims of the disease
often fancy themselves the prey, in turn, of
every known malady This is due, in part,
to the close sympathy which exists between
the stomach and the brain, and in part al
so to the fact that any disturbance of the
digestive functions necessarily disorders the
liver, the bowels and the nervous system.

The Union affects to believe that man
who desired to ogerchargc the county
little,or charge for what was notfurnished,
would do it just as quick ifhe had to swear
to his bill as if he did not have to swear to
it. As the proprietor Of that paper has
had little experience in collecting a bill
twice from the city he may be correct. But
the general belief is that when a man
knows he has got to make oath to his bill,
and that his oath and bill will remain on
file as witnesses against him, he will be a
little more careful when he makes it out.
The Union also says there is no more
propriety in requiring public bills to be
sworn to than private bills. This is a mis-
take. In many cases bills against States,
and the United States have to be sworn to.
There is a general feeling that in a bill
against a city, town, county, State or Uni
ted States it is all right to get all you can,
regardless Of prices to private customers
For this reason contracts are desirable in
public matters, and an affidavit that the
articles charges have been furnished ac-
cording to the contract, or atregular prices
to private customers 1t Goes not seem to
US that any man should object to this-and
it is suspicious when he does it.

The following statement Of Harper

eehtg Is Dy no means preClSeiy IIuG
within the past few months the Republicans
have had the good sense and the courage TO repeal
he salary grab ac! for which though warmly sup
ported by many Dem Gratis. they must as the ma
JOrfy. bear the response lilitY."
This is only correct so far as regards the
members Of the two Houses of Congress !;
but as respects the President it is entirely
destitute Of correctness. The salary grab
was devised, lobbied for, and approved by
him because it doubled his own pay; but
in repeating that bill they have left the
Presidents grab undiminished, although
there were grave doubts respecting its
constitutional validity and theyare going
into the next election with the full respon-
sibility of that act still resting upon them.

An amusing anecdote of Kaulback,
the artist, is told about his interview with
the Saxon Ambassador in Rome not many
years ago The Ambassador, who had
little diplomatic business to attend to,
whiled away his leisure hours by painting
gigantic pictures Flatterers told him that
he possessed talents that would speedily
make him an eminent artist One day he
invited kaulback, who was then a very
young man, and Peter Won Cornelius into his
studio. Upon the arrival of the two great
artists the Ambassador said to them that
lac had invited them for the special pur-
pose of hearing their opinion about the
new painting he was at work upon.
he Withdrew curtain from a
vast canvass, upon which he was painting
"Hager aud lShmael" There was bit
OF gray desert on it, right between the two
human forms. i have been told that all
this is not bad Now, viii you give me
your sincere opinion about the value Of the
painting? | shall be guided by your deci
sion. At this moment the Ambassador
was called out. Kaulback looked in blank
astonishment at Cornelius The painting
is abomnable, said the latter What
is your opinion of it. +" Here it is. re-
piled kaulback, and being very agile, he
jumped through the spot on the canvass
on which the desert was painted. Then
the two left the house.
