HUMPTY DuMPrY. .

On Thursday evening next, the 18th
inst, the far famed Adams Humpty
Dumpty company, viii appear at Harpers
Theatre. That crowded house awaits
its coming is foregone conclusion. The
following from the Burlington HasOkeye
shows something of the popular estimation:
That the audience which assembled at
the opera house last evening witnessed the
best Humpty Dumpty performance that
has ever been presented in Burlington is
perhaps a strong statement, yet we hardly
-exaggerate in making, it was testified by
the very large audience which turned out
TO laugh and grow fat over the antics of
Humpty Dunapty last evening. The pecu-
liar merit of the performance by Mr.
Adams company of this ancient YET, ever
welcome pantomime. consisted in some
what original adaptation of the story and
in the introduction of numerous mechan-
ical devices of great ingenuity TO en-
umerate the latter would be impossible
and useless, as they could only be appreci-
ated by being seen.
Suffice it to say, that the audience
especially the representation in the gallery,
gave frequent demonstrations of its delight
BY leud and often vociferous applause.
Act two consisted of an olio into which
"A number of decided novelties were intro
duced.

MODERN MILLERITEs.

When the light of the Milan fire was
first seen last evening. quite number of
gentlemen were standing at the intersec-
ton of Second avenue and Seventeenth
street, and elsewhere near the business
centre of the city, the Virgins prognos-
tications being the main topic OF CONVEX
sation and then the light first showed
itself the prevailing opinion seemed to be
that it was the forerunner Of the big
storm. Charlie Blythe reports that gen
tleman who drove in from Milan said that
one couple on cut on the Milan road,
who were not overstocked with sense,
were beside themselves with fear. The
man rushed into the house when he saw
the Milan light and told his wife to hurry
up and pack all her buds that she could
conveniently find as the Virgins storm was
coming Whether the worthy couple ex-
pected to find safe refuge from tie wrath
to come in a church, printing office or
Black Hawks cave Is not recorded, but the
ARGUS would respectfully suggest that the
safest place would have been in the store
of the man who doesn't advertise-neither

or to come would ever have found them
in such place, surely.

DOME FOR AT LAST.

A few days ago a Chicago paper con
tanned special dispatch from Richmond,
Indiana. stating that one Wesley Waters.
had been shot with fatal effect by an officer
for resisting arrest, for what offense was
not stated. Inquiries by mail of the
settled it authoritatively that the man who
thus received his death wounds was none
other than Wesley Walters, late of Moline,
who was the father of Ida May Walters,
who threw herself into the Mississippi with
suicidal intent in September last. Walters,
its will be remembered, was indicted
for keeping gambling house in
Moline by the last grand jury, but getting
wind of what was in store for him he
quietly left, between two days as the
phrase is, and when last heard from was
in Davenport. Where he went after leav'
ing that city was not known and the fatal
shooting al Richmond only partly dissi-
pates the mystery.
Before leaving for her home in Alabama
Lila May told some pretty hard things
about her father, of his arrest and Imprison
ment for horse stealing etc. but at that
time it seemed hard to believe them The
probability is that the half remained un-
told

PAPER MILL BURNED.

During the prevalence of the gale last
evening, about 8 o'clock our citizens were
startled not little by the reflection against
the southern sky of confiagration of vast
proportions Subsequently a telephone
message from Milan informed Rock ISL
anders that the mill of the Rock Island
Paper Company was IN flames with prob
abilities favoring complete destruction.
The fire originated in the straw house and
quickly communicated to the mill proper
which was burned TO the ground little
more than an hour afterward. Owing to
the high wind nothing could be done to
save the building but by almost superhu-
man efforts the mill of the Milan Paper
Company was saved, although at one time
the shower of sparks envel4ping it seemed
to assure it's destruction also
The property destroyed which represent
ed cash value of about S65, 900 was in
bad shape financially. owing principally to
the late business failure of it's secretary
and treasurer, Mr.. William Young. In
consequence of an assignment of its in
surance, (about $50. 000,) to persons hold
ing first liens on the property, the stock
holders and other creditors viii save moth
ing out of the wreck So far as known
the first liens referred to, up to almost
$4,000. are held as follows: Mr.. j. IL.
Wilson. $4,000; Judge G. Lynde, 5000;
Mr.. Main, 5000; the s. S. Guyer estate,
$2. 800.
