What .Father Says" and Docs.

Ifparents think that children do not notice
| closely everything they do they make a
serious mistake. Children see quickly and
reason with marvellous exactness, and are not
easily deceived They are more likely to no.
tice every little act of the father, because
he is not always at home, and what
father SAYS and what "father does" are the
things they most wish to say and do. No
matter how dearly they may love their
mother it is undoubtedly true that children
initiate the father far more closely than they
do the mother. So, therefore, the Fart a
father bears in the training of children is a
very, very important one, and he who shirks
it, throwing it all on the shoulders of the al
ready overburdened mother, will have sell
Gus sin to answer for some day.-Cleveland

BATTLE OF THE BALLOT.
Democrats Voting solid, and Re
pubifeans I'D to Usual Tricks.

pubifeans Up TO Usual Tricks.
An election has not occurred in Rock
Island before where so much interest and
excitement has been manifested, as is
the case today Democrats are working
enthusiastically and in earnest for the
success of the ticket with which they
have Joined with the labor party ,and the
prospects late this afternoon are, that
every nominee of the democratic and PEG
pies party will be elected. Niece, from
indications is running better in the City
of Rock Island than he did two years
ago. and the report that the republicans
spread this afternoon, that the democrats
had given up the fight on congressman,
and were devoung their efforts eXclu>
sively to the shrievalty contest, is with>
out foundation. Democrats are working
for every man on the ticket but are
watching the sheriff and congressional
fight more particularly, because the re
publicans are using their best efforts on
these two offices being determined to re-
deem them both at any cost and by any
method legitimate or otherwise.
Finding by 10 O'Clock this morning
that the election Of Niece and Sivis
was inevitable. republican leaders re-
sorted to scheme for getting even by cir
culating democratic tickets bearing the
names of Gest and Morgan. This led to
the issuing of circulars by the dem
ocIats which read as follows.
Democrats beware of Morgan and
Gest tickets headed democratic" IN the
hands of supposed democratic workers.
As a rule however, the democrats have
been careful to read their tickets before
balloting aud the result will be clean
majorities for the ticket right through,
though many of the candidates will run
ahead of the general ticket.
Democrats or members of the people
party who have neglected 10 vote yet,
NAV do so as late as Z o'clock this even
ing, and there should not be failure to
attend to this important duty
For So exciting an election, order has
been maintained to a remarkable degree
and there has been no trouble to speak
of, at any of the several voting places.
The saloons all over town have been
closed all day.

How to Choose Wall Paper.

Light wall paper should be chosen on sun
shiny day, and dark paper in somewhat
shaded corner. The reason for this, is that
the light paper is lighter and reflects bright
ness, and the dark paper is really darker on
the wall than when one side only is shown in
the lighted room. 1t would he well if paper
hangers had a corner rack, that is one with a
right angle in it, to judge of the reflections of
two walls of any sort of paper-Cleveland

" Sans souoi."

Mr.. Fred. w. Mills, the ventril-
oquist and humorist, was greeted by a
large and enthusiastic audience last
night al the Opera House. The first
half of the programme was new with
the exception of ''The Modern Trou-
badour," which was repeated by spe-
cial request. The entertainment
opened with ventriloquial sketch en-
titled "Mr. Peregrin Pattle," accompa-
MED by a charactersong entitled, 81 can't
make it out, can your" In exactly II
seconds Mr.. Mills changed the cos
tune worn for the character of "Kata-
rina Klaus" Dutch fraulein, who was
playing tricks NIT her ''loafer Con
rad, waiting outside" 1t would be use
less to speak in detail of this character
or of those which followed; suffice it
to say that Mr.. Mills kept the au-
dicnce in a continual roar of laughter
until the performance ended. The
bashful Dutch girl was followed by an
inimitable character sketch of the
Country Cousin in Australia" and part
first concluded with THE Modern
Troubadour," which was certainly given,
as the programme announced, by "the
only Mills"
The second part of the programme
was opened by Mr.. Mills introducing
his Six Merry Manikins to Royalty and
the audience, in entirely new songs and
dialogues, interspersed with witty local
hits, which repeatedly brought down
the house. Amid thunders of applause
Mr.. Terrence O'Rielly and Miss Sarah
Walker repeated the Lah-de-dah song
and received recall. During the
second part Mr.. Mills gave exhibitions
OF what is called in ventriloquism,
Throwing the voice." and also initiated
dog barking under the stage. One
of the best features of Mr.. Mills ven
triloquism is his perfect acquaintance
with the different dialects he uses.
During last nights performance he imi-
tated almost perfectly the Dutch, Irish,
Australian, North of England and
Chinese languages, besides changing
the voice frequently and repeatedly to
suit the conversation of numerous other
characters. Tomorrow afternoon and
evening will be the last opportunity Of
seeing Mr.. Mills in his inimitable per.
founances.
