loving public. He then impersonated
Ot7sezlo and Romeo. This is his first year
as star in the legitimate, although he is
an actor of experience, and has played the
leading support to Mccullough and others
of equal reputation. Mr.. Warde has select
ed repertoire which viii tax the power
of any actor, and the versatility which he
displays in these impersonations is surpris
ing s
Warde's acting is artistic, scholarly,
and finished throughout. He never yields to
the temptation to rant for the sake of
making point In each character that he
undertakes, also, his own mentality is ap-
parent. He does not follow blindly the
traditional business" of the legitimate,
but shows that he is himself thinker. At
the same time be does not mako innovations
simply from desire to change. For every
thing he does he has good reason. His
conceptions are the result of his own study.
Thus, each of his roles bears the imprint
of his individuality, and his originality is
undoubted. In delivering Mr.. Warde is
easy and graceful, his elocution is faultless
in its phrasing and information, his action
rapid and magnetic. He unites in his owr
person every quality necessary to com
mand success, and the future will demon
strate the wisdom of his becoming an in
terpreter of the legitimate.

TAXES.

Some one who has had considerable ex
perience in tax titles rises to explain that
the tax laws of Illinois are at last getting
to work pretty effectually, and delinquent
taxes are now the exception and not the
rule, as was the case few years ago. For
a long time there was doubt about the
validity of tax title, but these doubts
are now removed by recent decision of
the Supreme Court which holds these titles
valid. Another thing that has tended to
the prompt payment of taxes is the forfeit
eff 25 per cent for delinquency. All these
things have worked together for good, till
now taxes are promptly paid all over the
state.

BURGLARY.

This morning, at three O'Clock, two
burglars entered the house of Ell. G. Cleaye-
land, on Twentieth street. near Seventh
avenue, by means-of window in the rear
of the kitchen. They removed the catch
and thus were enabled to raise the window
without difficulty. On reaching the upper
floor they tried several doors, and finally
entered the sleeping apartment Of Mr..
Hayes, who is the father-in-law of Mr.,
cleveland. Mr.. Hayes was awakened by
seeing man within his room, who held a
watch He asked what was wanted, when
the light was extinguished and he was in
formed that his head would be beaten il
he made the least noise. The thieves then
asked him for his ready money, and pro
ceeded without delay to examine his
clothes. They found small amount of
money and gold watch which they i'm
mediately appropriated to their own use.
After ransacking the room they took their
departure, without awakening any of the
other inmates of the house.
Mr. Thornley,, an engineer on one of the
railroads, who lives in that immediate
vicinity, states that he arrived home after
completing his work at an early hour Sun
day morning. He discovered two young
men lettering around the barn. He enter
ed his house, secured his revolver, and
started out to search for them, but they
had departed. He represents the suspicious
characters as being quite young. /
1t is also ascertained that two young
men passed over the bridge at 5 80 o'clock
this morning, and as burglary was com
mitted in Davenport after that hour, it is
thought probable that the men engaged in
the Rock Island raid were also parties to
the Davenport robbery.
No trace to the suspected parties has
been obtained by the police of the two
cities at late hour this afternoon. !

quence of his condition he was locked up
in the armory last night, and this morning
was fined 81 and costs by Justice Cr0pper.
Thos. Sloan was not only drunk yester-
day, but his case was aggravated by dis
position on his part to become very diserd

the poor whiskey he had taken, but the
police labor under the impression that in
toxication shows the true nature of the
man.

A Good Housewife.

The good housewife, when she is giving
her house its spring renovating, should
bear in mind that the dear little inmates
OF her house are more precious than many
houses, and that their systems need
cleansing by purifying the blood, regulat-
ing the stomach and bowels to prevent and
cure the diseases arising from spring malaria
and miasma, and she must know that there
is nothing that will do it so perfectly and
surely as Hop Bitters, the purest and best
OF medicines. See other column.
