On Thursday evening of this week the
pretty little comedy queen. Miss Matte
Vickers, appears at Harper's theare. 1t
will be one of the best comedy attractions
of the theatrical year We give below a
recent notice given Matte Vickers by the
Detroit Free Press. 1t is interesting;
read it.
Miss Matte Vickers is unaffectedly
fresh and buoyant. She seems to love
her work, and to put her whole heart and
soul into it. She has a demonstrative
personality. and she knows how to exer,
else it. She has style of her own,
novelty in her method and manner, quite
distinct from any other artist in her
special line. She never misses point in
the words she has to utter, whether hum
orous or pathetic. She can also deliver
little bits of sentiments with exquisite
tenderness. Her dancing is really in
spiriting; we have not seen anything so
full of animation and graceful ease.
Criticism of the drama is unthought of in
the presence of SO strong and fascinating
an individuality.

tive of the Prescott Mclean company,

lions.
The Moline Dispatch of last evening
mas the following particulars of a first
class sensation in Mercer county:
A profound sensation was created at
Swedona, Just over the line in Mercer
county, last Saturday. by the arrest of
three young people of that village for
burglary. The parties arrested are Harry
Chiberg, Joseph Froerong and Miss
Belle Huyck.
Saturday morning Constable Reed
Tomlinson and Deputy James G. Clark
called upon Miss Huyck al her home, one
mile northeast of Swedona, with evidence
enough to demand what she knew of the
burglary of Mr.. Jaderberg's store at Swe>
dona last winter, and of S. j. Ickenboms
store at Ophiem last spring; and on the
strength of her evidence Cbllberg and
Froeropg were Immediately hunted up
and taken into custoday by the officers.
They were given a preliminary hearing
before a justice of the peace, and
in default of the necessary bonds
were committed to the county
Jail at Aledo, both making confess
sion before leaving. Miss Huyck was ar.
rested Saturday night at about 10 o'clock
as being the acknowledged accomplish of
the two young men, having secreted
money and articles taken from both
places. The preliminary hearing was,
| owing to the lateness of the hour, de-
ferred until today.
The arrests were great surprise to the
general public, though not so to few
who assisted the officers in tracing the
crime to the guilty parties. The Jader-
berg store at SwedOna was entered two
or three times in succession last winter,
and considerable amount of cash taken
together with goodly supply of
cigars and tobacco. But the largest
raid was committed some months
after at Ophiem, small town, about
three miles east of Swedona, in Henry
county, the restaurant and store owned
by S. J. Ickenbom, being entered and
over SIS worth of watches, jewelry
and other vsluables taken. Since Their

and have gradually frightened the coil o.

yesterday, to hear and consider the com
plants OF the wholesale merchants and
the manufacturers in Davenport against
tine Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific rail,
road, the Burlington, Cedar Rapids &
Northern and the Minneapolis & St. Paul
railroads jointly, and against the c., R.
1. & P. and the Chicago. Milwaukee &
St. Paul railroad company separately, for
exorbitant rates charged in the transport
tation of their manufactured articles,
goods, wares and farm products. Hon.
James T. Lane, of Davenport, appears

B., C. R. s. N; E Z Cook and John
C. Bills, attorneys for the c., r. |. & P
General Freight Agent Sage. and other
road officials and stenographers. The
claim of the jobbers of Davenport is
that the railroad companies mentioned
are unreasonable in their freight charges
out of Davenport, and discriminate
against the petitioners.
Yesterday was consumed in examining
Fred Wild, commissioner of the tri.city
shippers bureau, and number Of the
wholesale merchants of Davenport.
Concerning the c. M & ST. T. Commits
sioner Wild furnished some interesting in
formation as to the Iowa dis
lance freight tariff of May 10, which gov
erned the roads until Aug. 10, when
was slightly changed by the roads; th
freight tariff Davenport to differer
points in Iowa on the c., R, l. & P. il

ct esting statements. 1t operates So

gross, less than it did in 1887. CT
corning the general business of the NJ

TO Live Ste elk Breeders of the Valley

propose to you to have a combination
sale Of improved stock on the Farmers day
of the B Id win District Fairnext October.
II we wish to breed improved stock we
must find q market for it. The best way
10 do this is to educate our people to ap-
preciate their value. There is no plan SO
well calculated to do this as to have honest,
straightforward pablo sales. There is no
season of the year so we'll adapted to these
sales as the fall, and no place where so
many farmers and cattlemeD eongregate as
at an agricultural fair Then, of course,
the fair is the best time and place
to hold this sale. These public sales
are held all over the breeding districts of
the Vest and. experience has demon
stratei beyond doubt that public sales
are the best mode of disposing of improved
stock. Let US profit by the experience of
others in this matter, and as no one breed
er in the Valley has enough stock to make
an attractive sale, let Us combine our
forces and make up good sale, and let it
be one of the attractions OF the fair. |
will contribute my quotaand all those who
are willing to join me in the sale can write
me at Chrismans P. O., Rockingham CO..
Va, and give me the number aud kind Of
animals they will contribute. Each man,
of course. will have his part of the ex-
pense of the sale to pay in proportion to
the number he sells. give you this early
notice that all may have the summer in
which to prepare their stock. Breeders,
let me hear from you.
Respectfully.
