The "Biaen Flag ="

Notwithstanding IL at its name at first
thought calls up visions of pirates,
yet The Black Flag" which is
to be produced at Harper's theatre
on Friday, March 8, is by no
means a piratical or blood and thun-
der drama. On the contrary it is beau-
tiful story of English life. well told and
full of genuine hunor and touching
pathos. The name, to many, will be
familiar from the highly successful pro-
duction which was given the play in this
section some two or three years ago.
Those however who 10 not know the
derivation of the title may learn that it is
the custom at Portland prison, England.
whenever one of the oonyicts escapes. to
hoist black flag in order to put the sur
rounding inhabitants on their guard to
capture the fugitive and claim the re-
ward. AS the hero il uujustly convicted
of crime not his, and confined in Port.
land, whence he escapes through the aid
of his sweetheart. The deduction of the
name becomes easy. The Black Flag
being a first attraction, should have
full house Friday night.

will accommodate SO, and an infant room

The architect, Mr.. Schu reman, who has
recently located In Rock Island, is a
practical mechanic and fully understands
his business and every detail pertaining
to it. and will, if authorized to do So,
push the work with vigor. being super.
intendent of construction as we'll as an
accomplished architect. He removed to
Rock Island from Cincinnati. where he
had made a great reputation. and brings
such references as establish the character
of his rkmanship aud the satisfaction
1t has given in every instance. He has
come west because Of the larger opportu-
mites offered and the faith he has in Rock
Island and the general growth OF cities
heresbouts. MIR. Schuremsn has done
considerable church work at his former
home, the most noted of which is the
First Baptist church. Cincinnati. presided
over by Rev. NJ. 9. Lockwood. 1t il
considered the most perfect in the Ohio
valley BY experts, and Mr.. Schureman
has followed out the same idea largely in
the church here.
The people of Rock Island will contrib.
ute literally to this new enterprise and
another fine structure will! be erected,
which in the general good of the whole
city each inhabitant will also reap the
benefits.

than those employed in the editorial, bus

Bear in mind the fact that Clemann 8
Salzmsnn hold undisputed sway in prices
in furniture, carpets and curtain goods,
the reason being that their goods are
purchased direct from the manufacturers
thus enabling them to save the wholesale
dealers profit. They have purchased
more largely than ever this year and have
now a stock three times as large as any
similar establishment IN this city. In
their carpet room, over four hundred diff.
ferent styles of carpets can be seen from
the ordinary hemp to the elegant Mo-
quette, all of which are Of the most de.
sirable styles. If you are in need of any
