THINGS THEATRICAL.

The amusement season may now be
said to have fairly opened. Rock Island
has had quite respite from theatres,
operas, etc, of late, and the lovers of such
entertainments may be supposed to be
dying" for want of chance to witness
a first class theatrical performance. We
are pleased to note that their wishes will
soon be gratifed, and that they will soon
have regular feast, as it were. Manager
Harper has his engagement books pretty
well filled, and he says the applications
for dates are too numerous to mention.
The first on the repertoire is the famous
Nat Goodwin. with his excellent company,
who will appear on the evening of Oct. g.
They will present new and popular
play. that will be sure to meet with APP
probation.
On Oct. 8, George Minis dramatic
company will present one of Shakespeare
noted tragedies.
Mr. Chas. A Gardner in Karl. will
be the magnet that will fill Harpers
theatre on October 18th Gardner is one
Of the best German commedians on the
stage, and has always been well received
in Rock Island.
The Bandit Kink company is an
nounced for October Gath, which is the
last troupe for October.
Several prominent stars are booked fou
November, and in fact for several months
to come, so that theatre goers will have
an excellent opportunity to enjoy them
selves. No cosier or appropriate place
cauld be found in which to pass the long
evenings. than Harper's theatre, which
always has bright and inviting appear
ance.
Ben Harper has kindly rendered the use
of his theatre to the Methodist Episcopal
society for next Sunday morning, al
which time religious services will be held
commencing at II O'Clock.

GOOD FOR THE FARMRRs

The condition of the corn crop is the
all-absorbing question now. and on its
failure of success depends the prosperity
of the country-in great measure, for
the ensuing year. 1t is a question OF
vital Importance, and one that every per
son is interested in, as it affects more of
less, every line of business. If we have
good crops, good times are sure to follow.
The Freeport daily Bulletin gives cheer
full account of the condition of crops in
Stephenson county, one of the banner
counties of the state:
Some of the farmers say that they are
going to have more good corn than last
year in spite of the frost, This being the
case there is no need of so much complaint
and no sign OF the fearful hard times.
The crops ON the low lands are very gen
orally not so good from the position it
occupIed-was hurt much more than that
on higher ground. Corn has ripened very
rapidly during the last two weeks since
the warm weather set in. Very little
husking has been done, but considerable
has been cut mp in punches.
The cutting at this early date was
doubtless principally to preserve the
stalks as far as possible for fodder,
The farmers in this section are blessed
by having fine growth of fall feed for
their stock. This is not so as you get
pretty well toward Chicago, as there the
feed is so short that cattle have been fod
dered for some two weeks already. The
rain yesterday was good thing as it will
help the corn to ripen and refresh the
pastures.

THE NEW YORK REPUBLICANS.
Prom the 81. Louis Republlean

while the New York Republican papers
are attempting to have some sport at the
lack of harmony in the Democratic camp
in that state, they are compelled to admit
that things ale anything but delightful in
their own. Two months ago the atten-
ton of the world was challenged to the
beatiic picture which the New York Re-
publican party presented-the lever like
affection the once hostile factions were
exhibiting for one another, the patriotic
and simple hearted readiness with which
they were eager to make concessions, and
the Arcadian " harmony" that had taken
the place of the cat and dog spirit of last
year. But it was all bosh. There is no
harmony among them. The stalwarts or
machine Republicans still have control of
the organization and refuse to allow the
other factions to share it. There was a
show of reorganization made several
weeks ago, but it was only show. The
Times says: 1T is entirely plain that the
machine has, in spite of its apparent mag
nanimity, retained sufficient hold upon
the primaries to keep in his hands the
control of the party organization next year
The stalwarts are Lot greatly concerned
about the state elections tt i, fall. They
are working for higher game. They have
in view the delegation to the next nation
al convention says the Times, and the
Legislature which is to choose I. s. SEN
ator in 1885 The independent Republi-
cans who voted for Cleveland last year
and assisted to give him a majority of
1872, 000. demand reform of the party or
ganization; and, says the Times:
"Unless.the state convention shall make
adequate provision for such reform it
will be impossible to rally the party at the
polls next November. The plan must be
simple, complete, practical and honest,
| and the state committee must be prepar
ed to carry it ont with entire good faith,
or it will be found that the party vote can
not be got out. Nothing is more certain
than that a very large number of Repub-
lieans have made up their minds not to
support nominations which are forced up
| on them. In that connection they are
sustained by a sense of the highest duty
to their party and to their country. The
managers ought to have learned that last
year but if they have not they will receive
a palmer lesson this year, and if necces-
sary a still palmer one next year"

A PROpnsEn TOUR

The Stars expect to leave Rock Island
on Thursday morning for visit to several
cities where amateur base ball mines are
organized. The first game will be played
at Iowa City on Thursday afternoon; on
Friday a nine from the Burlington, Cedar
Rapids & Northern shops at Cedar Rap
ids; at Dubuque on Saturday, and on
Monday the Headlights at Mt. Carroll.
This will be the Stars first tour, but we
predict that they will win more games
than lose, although the clubs they are
pitted against are all strong amateur
mines. We hope the boys will cover
themselves all over with glory.

A Reliable ASSOCIATION.

The Peoples Mutual Life Association
of Lawrence. Kansas, occupies an envia-
BILE position for reliability and straightfor-
wardness, which places it in the front rank
of insurance companies. The company
has incorporated itself under the general
laws of the state of Illinois. The incor
rators being William Mansfield, E. ].
Worst and W. FL. Carter. 1t has also
incorporated under the Iowa law, its
original charter being from the state of
Kansas, with the first national bank of
Lawrence as its designated treasury.
Mr.. William Mansfield, who is president
of this solid Institution, was in Rock Island
on Saturday preparatory to establishing an
office here. The institution is founded on
the principle of the beneficiary depart
ment of the United Workmen. There are
two classes. A. paying $2,000a death and
B. paying 81, 900, and by the payment of
an extra membership fee ajoint certificate
will be issued to two persons, husband
and wife, the money to be paid to the
survivor on the death of the consort The
membership fee, annual expense charge
and assessments are graded according to
age Persons under 80 years pay So
membership in class A, $4,000 So
annual expenses and $1.25 on each as
sessment; under 40 years, $40, So so and
81 90 under so years, $12, So and 81. rs;
and under 60. $14, $3.50 and So. In class
B. $1,000 the scale is: Under 80, s.
$1.25 and 65 cents; 40 years, IS. 81 80
and rs cents; so years, 50, $1.75 and 50
cents; and so years. $40, So and Is. The
extra membership, which is thoroughly
excellent feature and will commend itself
to all, costs So in class A and 50 in class
B. and there are no additional charges
whatever Another good thing is that
man need not lose all he has invested by
dropping out At the end of four years
he can, if he chooses TO, surrender his
membership and receive paid up
certificate, emitting bis heirs TO an amount
at his death equal to the expense incurred
in carrying the surrendered membership.
A few steady, reliable men are wanted
to act as agents
