thing else. Francis K. willard is grand

more or better literary work than this far
sighted woman. To succeed in this work
yes NUT have pluck-mus, work right on
IN the midst of all sorts of dis engagements
and against all kinds of opposition. AS to
women not being able to fght-don't you
believe isi They are the best fighters in
the worldt In the late war they proved
themselves just as loyal, just as brave, just
- earnest workers as the men. Not all men
can fight, SO far as that is concerned. Suf-
frage now is no longer confined to Massa-
hpssets. as formerly. but is everywhere
being advocated. Prominent men in the
South are indorsing 1t, working for it.
About making trouble in the home, there's
nothing in that idea 1t is not going to make
family trouble" At this point Mrs. ST. John
affirmed that so far as she knew no trouble

Matte yieker.' New Play Tonight,

Tonight Miss Matte Vickers, the little
versatile star, who has so many admirers
in Rock Island, appears at Harper's the
atre in her entirely new comedy, Cher
ub:" The following from the Cincinnati
Enquirer embodies q synopsis of the
piece;
Matte Vickers sang, danced and en-
acted the principal role in her new play,
"Cberub," before an immense audience
The charming condolences rendition of
the character was mirth provoking and
artistic The play is from the pen OF the
- ---S---T ..ou,-vaI',Ie Dec
| ton" and mo Boyd's Clalm," etc The
piece is located in the mountains of Penn
sylvania, and opens with Cherub and
Grsndy Griff, away from their loved
| mountain, looking for the formers rela-
tives, for Cherub, when child, had been
1ef: by man at Griff's cabin on the
mountain. Old Griff had thieving pro
pensities, and. when he found "Cherub's'
relatives. "Griffs" carpet bag was filled
with her uncle's possessions. Before
this meeting Cherub had made the &C.
quaintance of Agnes Harper. the village
teacher to whom she had shown homes,
instincts. The stolen goods are discov-
cred in Grif 3 carpet bag by Silas Harper,
and on demanding to know who and
what they are, Cherub produces letter
given TO her by discharged servant of
"Silas Harper" The letter proves that
"Cherub" is the daughter of Silas Har.
pers brother, who is supposed to have
died in Australia. Silss refuses to shell
ter the girl, as thief, but is finally per-
suaded by his daughter Agnes. The
wild young girl soon wins the affection
of all in her new home. Agnes Harper,
Cherub's cousin, had secretly married q
sailor, Willis Warner. The news OF the
wreck of her husbands ship threw her
| into an illness from which she arose with
sightless eyes. Abel Warner, twin
brother of Willis, hears from an old
friend in San Francisco, that his broth
er's wife has inherited large fortune
| from John Harper in Australia, and tax
ing advantage of her blindness, passes
himself himself off as Willis, and begs
for money. Cherub is caught carrying
money from Agnes to Abel and refuses
TO expose her cousins marriage. Silas
accuses Cherub of stealing the money,
and turns her out of the house. The re.
turn of Willis and Cherub's father from
Australia ends the play in a manner
which makes everybody happy. The

The Lee County Times very sensibly
says: 1.-THE publisher of newspaper has
one thing to sell and one thing to rent.
He has the newspaper to sell and the
space in the columns to rent. Can any,
one inform us why he should be expected
to give away either one or the others He
can do 80 if he chooses, and he does, as a
matter of fact, furnish a great deal of
space rent free. But it does not follow
that be ought to be expected to DO it. 1t
ought to be recognized as contribution
exactly as would the giving away of sugar
or coffee by the grocergmsn. But, very
strange TO say. it is not looked upon in
that light at all, yet everybody knows
that the existence of newspaper de-
Ponds as much on the rent of its space
and the sale of the paper as the mer.
chants success depends on selling bis
goods instead of giving them away."

Fred Gayer, Philip Stewart and g. W =.
Henry, of Rock Island, dined on crow on
Saturday This was one for the novelty
of the thing and not on q wager. The
bird was baked in the oven of Nottleman's
bakery. 1t was done to turn and looked
not unlike pheasant, which it was rep
resented to be. Henry and Stewart were
invited in by Mr.. Gayer to partake of a
pheasant. After eating few mouthfuls,
Mr. Henry learned the pedigree OF the
bird and wanted to stop. but the others
barred the door and compelled him to
help finish the feast. Phil ate the crow,
he said. just to see how the food the dem
ocra's were living on, tasted. After the
bones had been picked they were thrown
to Mr.. Nottleman's dog, fine setter, but
the animal turned up its nose and walked
away. Good dog.-Monmouth Reviep
Deputy Collector Henry says, il the
feast which he was so fortunate as &c
partake of down at Monmouth was a dish
of crow. he is fond of the black bird and
cannot be invited out too often to dine
on it served in this style. OF a truth
nevertheless, the birds which Mr.. Henri,

were pheasapts. and more delicious dist
could not have been selected by the dem,
