Uncle Toms Cabin Tonight.

Last evening fair audience assembled
at Dart $. Hall to witness the rendition of
the well known play of Uncle Toms Cabin
by Palmer & Co.'S mammoth combination.
Never has the,piece been placed on the
stage with better effect, than was the case
last night. The characters were admir-
ably sustained, especially worthy Of note
was Uncle Tom, by Charles De Groat,
decidedly the finest personation of that
character ever given in Rock Island.
Every movement, the voice, and the veriest
detail was nature itself. 1t was faultlessly
given and elected genuine applause.
Eva was splendidly given, and an un-
usual feature was the perfect information Of
the child's voice, faultless gesture and ex-
cellent acting. All who saw pronounce it
the very best eyer seen on Rock Island
stage.
St. Clair was excellent, with just
enough abandon to closely represent the
character. Phineas was exceptionally
good, while the characters of Marks, the
lawyer, and Gumption Cute, kept the
audience in good humor throughout. The
''Ophelia, ;" of Mrs. Ryner was fine, in fact
the play was unexceptionally well rendered
and gave universal satisfaction. Especially
good was the closing ''apotheosis, which
made the finest tableau We have seen. fol-
some time. The piece will be repeated a
Darts Hall to night, we trust to large
audience, By all means go and witness
the 6nest acting ever given in Rock Island
The people do not often have chance t
see company of so much genuine talent
and when we are favored with such, i
should be literally patronized. Reserved
seats at Champions.

the danger OF obnoxious disease has been
incurred by contact. Sores and ulcers,
that resist the operation of salyes and To-

the swelling and pain caused by bruises

The Father cosgrove Robbery.

The two thieves from St. Louis who were
brought to Davenport accused of robbing
Father Crosgrove's house in Davenport
and shooting at the Reverend Father viii
probably, in:yiew of the direct testimony
against them, be indicted by the grand
jury before whom their case is now pend
ing. 1t now seems that the one named
Rowland. only 81 years old, is respectfully
connected in st. Louis, and was educated
at Mound City college, but for the past
Two years his relatives have not known
anything of his whereabouts; the other %
years old is from Ohio. The evidence will
show that Haggarty, who was arrested in
Davenport. was thier accomplice and that
he is the one who gave them away. He
says that Rowland was the one who fred
the shot which was intended for Father
Cosgrove's head. He further says it was
their intention to 60 from Davenport to
Springfield and, after roDbing the churches
there, to go to Decatur and thence to St.
Louis, combining their operations to robbing
catholic churches and residences of the
priests.

did Not Make L. Win.

The contractor who had the men,
bers of the Davenport school board
arrested for not awarding him, as
the lowest bidder, the contract for building
the new school house in that city did not
make his case hold.
The facts in the case are these: The
Board invited bids for the erection of the
school house. There were several bids
received. The two lowest were those of
T. Kirk & Son, $I2, 400. and Groves Bros.
$l2, $50. The latter were the lowest
bidders, but as the responsibility Of Groves
Bros. was unknown to the Board. and
wishing to make no mistake 10 letting 90
heavy q contract, 1t was deemed advisable,
after due discussion, that the contract be
let to Kirk Il Son-an act of discretion that
the Board had an undoubted right tc
exercise
