month in the editorial chair. Mis-
takes, no doubt, We have made and

received much substantial support and
good cheer from many here, and en-
couragement has been given us by
some of the most practical minds of
our thriving and rmlcrprising town.
For all this we extend heartfelt graft

MONDAY NIGHTS ENTERTAINMENT.

Next Monday evening the celebrated
Doud Byron will appear in his famous
play of Across the Continent" at Har-
per's Theatre. As this will be his first
appearance in Rock Island he should be
greeted with full house, as he is one of
the fine actors in the theatrical world.
One of the interesting features of the en-
tertainmcnt will be telegraph battery on
the stage, with its workings brought in
with rich effect. The Pittsburg Post has
the following to say of this excellent
troupe;
Mr.. Byron is the great exponent of
American melo drama of the best and
cleanest type. He is an actor who knows
his business thoroughly, and does all his
work well. His play is really good one
1t hangs well together, It's action is nicely
managed, and it admits of vast amount
of hugely wrought emotional acting. Mr..
Byron has pleased our public in this play
for several seasons. and this year he has a
particularly good company. Mrs. Byron
is a very charming and bright actress, who
ably seconds her husband, and together
they can make almost anything success

lowing resolution and moved its adoption:

And indeed, many of their wise, quaint
sayings are far better worth listening to
than the stereotyped commonplace of

allow uninterrupted chatter would be to
surrender the repose of the household, but
it is very easy if children are themselves
taught scrupulously to respect the con-
venience of others, and to know when to
talk and when to be silent
