Theatrical.

The WILDER combination closed a sue
cessful weeks engagement at Harpers
theatre Saturday night in "a Rogue's
Honor Whatever may be said of the
class of attractions the WILDER company
has presented on the recent visit, the
company as whole sustained the pieces
nicely.
Tonight the interesting and happy
young actress Miss Madden. appears at
Harper's theatre in her new play 'ln
Spite of AL" No one who saw this
little lady at the time of her visit here
year ago in Caprice" will Hiss seeing
her again. She is an actress wonderfully
unique in her originality, thus playing in
field in which she has no rivalry and
no equal. To the people who can ap.
preciate the higher type of dramatic art,
we feel like commencing Miss Madden
as the best representative in her chosen
field now before the public. Read a
tribute from paper possessing as the
Chicago Inter Ocean does, the highest
order of dramatic critics, yet too the most
appreciative when it comes to stage art
1t is very gratifying to US to have an
opportunity to heartily commend the
work of Miss Madden, very charming
Young woman, most faithful young
actress, public favorite who has mine

of womanhood, phrases of sentiment. OF

might have portrayed with more critical

The FESTIVAL Of the Year given at the
Rock Island rink under the auspices OF
the ladies of the Central Presbyterian
church, closed Saturday night. A grand
promenade concert BY Bleuer's band was
followed by the reproduction of the pretty
parlcr play The Scapegrace. The fes-
tival was, as all will be glad to learn, q
success financially, as pleasurably. The
entire affair reflected great credit upon
Mrs. W. S. Knowlton, president Of the
Ladies' society of the Central church,
with whom the novel idea originated and
the results must be highly gratifying to
that lady and the other ladies who have
worked with her faithfully that the public
might be pleased.

SOME ONE BLUNDERED.
Passenger and Freight Locomotives
Collide.
A Fatal Accident on the C.. r.. i. 4
p. Last Night---Par,iculars of the
Affair--WhO Is to BIamef

A serious collision occurred on the
Rock Island road between Atkinson and
Annawan at a few minutes past O'Clock
last evening. The Denver vestibule lin
tied, known as No. 10, was run into by
the first section of a stock train, east
bound, known as No. IS. A man named
Victor Minnaert, of Atkinson. was killed
outright. and his brother, Peter Minnaert,
of the same place, was seriously injured.
The stock train was ditched and consid>
cradle stock killed, while one car of the
vestibule train was teleseoped. The
freight train was pulled by engine 454,
Engineer Al. Rough. and Conductor
Golden being in charge, while the pas
senger engine was number 81, Engineer
Al. Lund, and Conductor Danforth being
at the head of the crew. The engineers
and flremen on both locomotives saw the
danger in time to reverse engines and
leap for their lives and all escaped.
The blame for the accident has not yet
been placed. There seems at least to
have been pretty well founded mis-
understanding as to the time card. There
is no operator at Atkinson, and when the
freight train got there the crew was un-
decided whether to 90 on or not, as
according to the card No Is is due there
at 7:18. 1t was only little before that
time when the freigh: reached there, but
at the top OF the column show.

card, is printed daily" while al

Sunday since the Inauguration of the tint

tied. Heretofore there has been but two

| llhelluOuu VI SoiuS luGu tht stIc6t paving
| business in earnest.
The idea of paving the part OF Second
avenue described in the above resolutions
by special assessment is one that springs
from q very generally prevailing desire on
the part of property holders along Second
avenue to have such improvements made
There are great many preliminaries to
commenced and the disposition seems to
be to get the ordinances passed, the cons
tracts let and necessary county court pro-
ceedlngs out Of the way SO that the paws
ing may be commenced next spring. One
reason that it is desirable for the council
to take the initiative steps at the mex,
meeting, if possible, is that by passing an
ordinance and deciding upon the kind OF
material to used, the Syndicate Street
Car company which is soon to lay
double track from Twentieth stree,
west to Fifteenth on Second ave.
nue., may build them according TO thu
correct grade and pave them with
the material adopted by the city. Mr.
Holmes has, as has already been stated il
the ARGUS, given this matter considera'
| ton and would rather than not paw
that portion of which befalls him, now
This fact will also tighten to a great ex
tent the expense to be borne by the prop
erty holders along the thoroughfare to b.
thus improved.
The prospects for the success of thi
PROJECT are exceedingly gratifying an
there is every reason to believe that mex
summer will find in Second avenue one @
the handsomest city streets in Illinois
which means an enhancement of all proy
erty and business interests bordering up
on it.

Foreign Potatoes.

There is a duty of 15cts a bushel
on potatoes brought into the United
States even at that price dealers
find it profitable to bring them from
across the sea as ballast Possibly
in the near future the American farmer
may demand high tariff on potatoes.
The following article is of general
interest on the question of foreign
potatoes and is from a conversation
that reporter had with G.. S.
Palmer, of No. 166 Reade street New
York. Said q. 5. Palmer. 1t is
astonishing ION what an extensive
scale foreign grown potatoes have
been brought into this country re
Gently, We have been receiving po-
tatoes from New Brunswick. Nova
Scotia, Prince Edwards island and
the Canadian provinces for a long
time. and have become accustomed
to that fact 1t made no material
difference in the market price, fol
transpoI tation facilities were not sc
convenient between Canadian ports
and ours But with these European
importations it's altogether different
With big steamers coming into port
every day from Europe, the ocean il
little more than a ferry route. They
have got to bring something for bal

It is better to carry potatoes thar
stones or sand. L have calculated
that on every bushel of European po
tatoes landed here there is a net prof
it of twenty five cents. They pay th'
tariff of fifteen cents a bushel. anC
still find 1t profitable to send theil
potatoes here

Potatoes.

Edmund Hersey's experience leads
him to the following conclusions
Whole potatoes will produce a crop
from a week to ten days earlier than
cut potatoes Small whole potatoes
will produce for many years in sue
cession just as good, if not better re-
suits, than larger potatoes cut the
size of the small whole ones. The
seed end of u potato is better to
plant than the stem end. because the
plants start with more vigor, and
produce larger and more potatoes.
A large piece of potato is better to
plant in ordinary soils, and will pro-
duce a much better crop than very
small pieces or single eyes. Pota
toes with sprouts long enough to
break off in planting are not as good
as potatoes with the ewes started
Just enough to show their good
condition. The form OF potato
cannot, as lule, be changed by the
selection for planting any particular
form. Two distinct varieties will not
mix by planting in the same hill.
The potato scab is a blemish tha,
the more we investigate the less we
appear to know about it.
