The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1882-11-17

| Despite the fact that last evening was
one of the most disagreeaole of the season,
wet. cold, and generally dismal, Harper's
opera house was crowded from the orches-
ira to the "colored paradise, mp in the
| hay loft, with ladies, gentlemen and chill
| dren-even here and there an indifferently
entertained baby-who one and all seemed
to "catch onto" the music and fun of
Thatcher, Primrose 81 Vests minstrefs
with considerable zest. The social session,
in other words the usual introductory pro
gramme of music, gags, etc, was excep-
tionally good, but Only Pansy Bios
som, sung by the author. F. Howard, cas-
lily carried off the solo honors. Each of the
others did well, however and each receiv-
ed'his share of applause. Tie choruses,
one and all, were unusually well rendered.
One of the very best features of the very
excellent bill presented, was the Silence
and Fun" of Frank E. McNish, who
proved to be one of the most versatile cal
culators with his heels ever seen in this
city. Strolling aimlessly about the stage,
the musicians playing lively airs mean
while. he would suddenly execute the most
remarkable summersaults, (even with both
hands in his pockets,) ever seen on the
opera house stage. Without exactly doing
the work of the contortionlst he
would fly about like a hen with her
head Off alighting upon shoulder
and hip head, knees, stomach, or
ear-no matter how and then would ensue
the most ridiculous scenes imaginable.
The beauty of the entire business" lay in
the fact that one couldn't tell which way
he was going to flop, or what he was 60
ing to do next. Dougherty, a la Oscar
Wild, delivered the old time Julius Cesar
Hannibal" Grafton with considerable unc
ton and made several excellent hits.
Thatcher and Dougherty were immense
and West, in their graceful and refined
singing and dancing added to their already
excellent reputation. George Thatcher
with his aesthetic goat, which he located in
the base ball field and which
was too utterly all butt" created
the same stormy applause which
honors him nightly in New York
city, whenever he goes there. No descrip
ton of his descriptive doings can do him
justice. The Dancing Gadiators" exc
cuted numberless evolutions, danced and
INDUCED in broad sword exercise in most
admirable manner and Howe and Bell
were prodigies in their pedestal acrobatic
business. Pagan danced excellently, and
Dick Rome performed wonders in the con-
tortion line All in all the show was
superior one, and those who attended
seemed to feel that they were well repaid
for the expenditure of both time and
money.

THE PASSENGER WAR.

w. T. Swan, general traffic superinten-
dent of the Chicago. Milwaukee and ST.
Paul, when questioned concerning the ru-
mored rate war on East-bound freight from
St. Paul, said there had been no cutting of
rates by any of the lines interested since
the agreement was entered into Oct. 81,
but as that agreement ended on the 10Th
inst. he could not say what the future
might bring forth. Each of the four
roads running to st. Paul from Chi
cago," said Mr. Swan, lis bound to hold
West-bound rates until Oct 1, 1883, ac-
cording to an agreement made, but it is
possible for either of the three lines, there
being but three leading East-bound from
St. Paul, to make its own freight rates
in an easterly direction after the 10Th, but
I cannot say as to what the policy of any
of the lines but our own will be in the mat
ter" When asked what the policy of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul would
be at the termination of the pooling ar
rsngement st st. Paul, Swan replied: ut
! viii depend entirely upon the lines. Rates

Teach Your Boys.

Teach them that true lady may be
found in calico as frequently as in
velvet.
Teach them that a common school
education, with. common sense, is better
than college education without it.
Teach them that one good, honest
trade well mastered is worth a dozen
beggarly professions.
Teach them to respect their elders
and themselves.
Teach them that, as they expect to
be men some day, they cannot too soon
learn to protect the weak ones.
Teach them by your own example
that smoking in moderation, though
the least of vices to which men are
heirs, is disgusting to others and hurt
full to themselves.
Teach themselves that to wear patch
ed clothes is no disgrace, but to wear a
black eye is.
Teach them that by indulging their
depraved appetites in the worst forms
of dissipation, they are not fitting them
selves to become the husbands of pure
girls

TURNER HALL CONCERT.

Mr.. August Herkert, who set the ball in
motion for fine concert, both vocal and
instrumental, at Turner Hall next Sunday
evening, is leaving nothing undone which
will add to its attractiveness. The music
that will be heard there will be of high
order of merit, the artists who are to APP
pear having long since attained decidedly
exalted positions in the musical world. 1t
is to be hoped and expected that Mr.. Her
kert's efforts as a musical caterer will be
suitably and heartily recognized.

THE NEW sANITARIUM.
Davenport Democrat.


The work of transforming the three
story brick building on the northwest cor
ner of Brady and Fourth streets into "a
Sanitarinm has been completed, ana now
Davenport possesses an institution for the
bath treatment of ailments of which the
city may well be proud. Mrs. DIR. Magins-
ley secured plans from the most expe-
rienced physicians, and has carried them
out TO the letter, at an expense of thous-
ands of dollars. The bathing rooms are
down stairs, and are five in number-the
real Russian bath (the first IN the city, the
vapor bath, the electric bath, the sulphur
bath, the Turkish bath, and the plain tub
bath, with either hot or cold water. Each
is supplied with the best apparatus for the
purposes yet invented. Every article of
Punishment is elegant. The tubs genuine
porcelain, the first introduced here. The
electric bath has the galvanic and Fraodic
apparatus bath.
The many rooms on the second and
third floors are designed for patients, and
are furnished with sofas, lounges, and
easy chairs of the most approved patterns;
the floors covered with elegant carpets,
each room supplied with hot and cold
water, and all conveniences that either
sick or well persons can desire. These
rooms are intended for patients, and no
other persons will be received; for them
the institution will be home, where they
can have the best of care, and be supplied
with the best of suitable food, either in
their rooms or in the dining room. Ply
sicians who may prescribe any of the baths
here furnished may send their patients to
this Sanitarium for any length of time,
may visit and prescribe for them at their
will and know that they will receive the
best of care, with instructions implicitly
followed.
The institution is named the Davenport
Sanitarium. Mrs. DR.. Maginsley's ability
and experience are well known in Daven-
port, large numbers of whose people have
been treated by her. The Sanitarium will
prove a blessing as a retreat for people
afflicted with the various ailments for which
the baths furnish a remedy. The doctor
deserves the good wishes of all who take
pride in city progress for her enterprise.

PREDICTING 4 GREAT STORM.

WASHINGTON, December 1.-The
President has received q communiea-
tion from Professor E. Stone Virgins,
Ill. D., astronomer of the Canadian
Finance Department, announcing
that q great storm will occur In next
March that Il will first be felt in tho
Northern Pacific, will appear In the
Gulf of Mexico on the night Of the
9th, and being reflected by the Rocky
Mountains will cross this meridian
frem the west at noon Of Sunday,
Marcia IL, 1888. No vessel, whatev-
er her dimensions, will DO safe out Of
barber, and none CT small tonnage can
hope to survive the tidal wave and fu-
ryef this tempest. AS the wind will
blow from the southeast, the planetary
force will be sufficient to submerge
the lowlands Of the American coast,
especially those bordering on the
Gulf OF Mexico and washed by the
Gulf Stream, while the air currents
for seve=al hundred miles along the
east eide OF the Rocky Mountain
range viii spread universal destruc-
tien.
The New England states will also
suffer severely from the wind and
floods. No point outside Of harbor in
the whole area Of the Atlantic, espec-
tally north of the equator, will be a
place of safety for shis will be pre-
eminently the greatest storm that mas
visited this continent since the days
of the ilIustrieus first President.
aIn view Of this event, therefore,
I take the great liberty of represent
ing to Your Excelleney the advisa-
kility of ordering all United States
ships into safe harbors not later than
The 5th of March till this storm be
passed."
