A Theatrical Swlndle.

Attached to the train from the west
Saturday night was the private hotel car
of Clara Morris, the actress, and in that
car was the great Clara herself. 1t may be
supposed that there is nothing strange in
that, but when Clara Morris was booked
for three nights in Des Moines. begin
ming Thursday evening, and Des Moines
people, while she was reposing in her
luxuriously appointed car, were listening
10, watching and applauding what they
supposed to be the illustrious Clara, there
appears to be a slight degree of strange
ness. Clara played in Des Moines Thurs
day evening before a big audience, and
was highly Landed for her acting. Friday
evening she didn't appear and was lauded
again, or rather her substitute was. Sat-
urday evening, while she was here, her
company and second self were again
playing before house, innocent of the
huge swindle being perpetrated upon
them. 1t is q trick she has of taking her
ease, while others earn the money she
lives on, and the public is usually none
the wiser. When she is booked fora two,
three or four nights stand, she plays one
or perhaps two nights, and then, if the
place does not suit her, she has her Car
attached to the train and, with her man.

Wrong.

The city council proceedings at Rock
Island were interrupted one evening re-
Gently by the appearance of q juvenile re-
porter smoking cigarette. Mayor Jae-
ger declared that the offensive weed was
sufficiently Objectionable on the street,
but that in the council chamber it was
absolutely unbearable. One little cigar
cite does not often create such a confu-
sion Peoria journal.
We are sorry to see Peoria's wide awake
paper make such a statement about our
city, for nothing was more untrue. The
mayors name is not Jaeger, in the FIRST

the Journal reports ever TRANSFERRED.
