THE REVOLUTION COMPLETE.

Twelve months ago public opinion wa'
divided as to the merits of the various adj
vertised medicines for Coughs and Colds
All doubts upon this important subjec
seem to be now at an end. The unparal
leled success of HALE's HONEY OF HORE
HOUND AND TAR has settled the question
1t is in evidence that in upward of five
thousand cases of Lung and Throat Com
plants it has not failed in a single instance
to effect a cure. The result is demand
for the article that has no precedent in the
history of proprietary medicines. Sold by
all druggists at so cents and 81. Great saw
ing by buying large size.

AMUsEMENTs.

Last evening Harpers Theatre contained
very large audience to witness the per-
Torrance of The Brook, as rendered by
Salsburys Troubadours. The piece was
given with all its mirth and fun, and re-
suited in giving general satisfaction. The
singing of Miss Ray Samuels was especially
good. She possesses voice Of strength
and great purity. and her repeated encores
were all deserved.
Mr. Salisbury in his character sketches
wherein he deliniates the peculiarities of
different nationalities were also we'll re
ceived.
Miss Nellie McHenry proved herself the
general favorite with the audience, and
| her vocal efforts We're SO we'll received that
an encore was demanded.
Mr.. Steadman is also good actor, rs
well as being fine vocalist, and with Mr..
Webster, the TroubadOurs have the materi-
al to furnish an evenings amusement to
the most critical audiences.
THE Brook" is fast becoming a pcrma-
nent play and when rendered by such ar
fists as compose the Trou5adours, there is
no reason why this little sketch should not
continue to be as popular as has been its
luck in the past
GALLEY SLAVE.
Seats are now on sale for the Galley
Slave entertainment which will be given at
Harper's Theatre tomorrow night by the
BARLEY Campbell Galley Slave Comhina
ton. The success of Mr.. Campbell as an
author is largely due to the Galley Slave"
and My Partner" both of which are plays
of more than ordinary merit. The former
depicts the life of tourist in Italy, and
treats the romantic subject in such facin
ating style that the audience regret when
the final curtain drops and ends the play.
The troupe presenting this beautiful play
tomorrow night, include such actors as
Frank Evans James Brutus Booth, Miss
De Forrest. and others of equal talent and
ability.
The Rock Island public will never per-
NIT play OF such merit and so artistically
rendered, to be presented without crowd
ed house, and inasmuch as Davenport is
not visited by this organization there will
probably be large delegation to witness
the performance tomorrow night.
