Robson and Crane.

Nexs Wednesday evening the kings Of
mirth making, Robson and Crane, will
hold..the boards at the opera house. Their
new play, "the Cherubs, is a quaint con
ception. Itipresents them, as they appar-
emily are, as twin brothers. And it af>
fords abundant field for the portrayal of
these peculiarities of voice and of man
nerism by which they have made special
niche for themselves in light comedy.
The plot is simple but the dialogue bright
and the situations effective and interest
ing AS PhSdSas and Van Dyke, twin
brothers devoted to art, Robson and Crane
are brought out in even more prominent
relief than in any other of their plays.
Yet everything is not sacrificed to the
end. There is suficiency of other char
acters in the cast to round it up effective
ly and afford an even and graceful pre-
sentation of the play. The supporting
company is good. Miss Bradley as Diana
DsAoscay and Miss Henry as Mgnonette
Peacock, are especially worthy of COM
mendation. The two comedians are at
their best, and elicit roars oflaughter again
and again. The singing is inimitable in
Its way. For an evening of genuine hu>
NOR, nothing surpasses an evening with
~ann and Crane.

Funeral Form Fun,

The funeral form of the Union feels
sore because the ARGUS endorsed the
forms assertion that Enough was the
correct thing to say at the end of one
of his exc ruciating jokes. Listen to
him MARBLE:
One of our lady school teachers kindly
the word slough" and the item was pub
lished in our issue of Thursday. Before
the copy was set up il type, URi0R en-
ploye gravely remarked: This will make
the ARGUS prance on its hind legs and he
haw, and rattle its ears together like a
pair of castanets." And it did, for the
ARGUS has not enough common school
knowledge to understand the lady's re
marks. Stealing the Unions carefully
prepared records, announcements, etc,
is about all it knows how TO do, and the
credit for that should be given to its scis
sors and pastepot.
Now it will be observed in the first place
one of "our lady school teachers came
TO the front with the slough joke. This
fact should he borne in mind for the rea>
son that the blame of the mirthful agony
produced by the joke does not lie entirely
on the funeral form. Next it will be seen
that the aforesaid zone of our lady school
teachers" furnished the big joke. She didn't
jump into the Office with both feet like
thousand of brick coming down on a tal~
furnished the joke. There seems to have
been method in her madness Before the
copy of the joke was set up Union en-
piove was heard to gravely remark, Now
the idea of an employe remarking in the
sacred presence of the funeral form is
simply astonishing Aud then, too, We
are told that he 'fgravely remarked y
Being so near the funeral form there Is no
doubt that he grave-ly remarked, if he re-
marked at all. He gravely remarked that
the remarkable witicism would cause the
ARGUS to prance. Smart employe. He
knows something when he can think OF
it, and he gravely remarks what he knows.
The common school knowledge of the
ARGUS is gravely remarked upon. Then
the carefully prepared records, am
nouncemente, etc, are touched upon.
1t takes very brilliant man to sit down
in front of a record in the county offices
and copy the records He must be very
smart indeed. And then when announce
ments are brought into the office he must
have college education in order to take
them in.

romantic. Miss Brenizer's parents were
bitterly opposed to her marriage on the
score of her youth, she being but II. Last
summer Mr.. Sadler and Miss Brenizer

There they were secretly married. Mrs.

parents until last week, when the husband

BullGoZlng.

We are told that Rock Island citizen,
who has always been a republican, says
that he is going to vote for St. John las
q matter Of principle and with hope that
enough other republicans may do like
wise to defeat the republican ticket and
force the party to put prohibition plank
in its next platform The citizen re-
ferrcd to will, of course, vote as he
pleases But he must remember that, in
voting for St. John. he becomes de-
scrtcr on the field of battle and will be so
regarded by his old comrades in future
He will thus lose his efficiency as a repub-
lican, and no one will tell him this quicker
than numbers of men of temperance creed
who have eagerly assured us they were
going to stand by the republican ticket,
and have given excellent reasons for their
continued loyalty and their desire that
they should he known to be loyal Prn
ciplc, such as the citizen would have it
understood he is guided by, will awaken
opposition principle, if the citizen comes
back after his detection and claims to be
an honorable republican. II he is going
to vote against the republican ticket, he
would be wiser to leave the party, and
thus receive the respect as an opponent
which he cannot ever expect as q returned
deserter. Union.
Here is clear case of bulldozing. The
Union gets up and tells this dissatisfied
republican that he had better leave the
party, because he chooses to cast his vote
on the score of principle. 1t tells him
that by leaving the party he would thus
receive the respect as an opponent which
he cannot ever expect as returned de-
serter." VIII the Union please point out
an instance when it showed any respect
for an opponent in and way or manner?
1t has stock of such pet names as mug
wumps, 'Pharisee," etc., on hand and it
is wonder they were not used on this
occasion. This conscientious republican
no doubt could not swallow the lodging
of Blaine on the temperance issue in
Maine, and because of his temperance
principles he proposed to vote for St.
John. The Union is in small business
when it attempts to bulldoze this voter
either to leave the party or to vote for
Blaine, but this is republican character
istic which largely predominates in the
make up of our Eighteenth street neigh

selling below cost as nobody sells lower
than what goods cost, unless they are old

square and honest dealing you should
patronize the Golden Eagle, because it
sells the best and freshest clothing in the

can, because it buys in larger quantities,
thus commanding lower prices, and it
makes profit, although small, the aggre-
