Master frankie Jones, the bow actor
appeared in carl. the Outcast," at Hsr-
per's theatre last evening before a fair
sized audience. The star again demon.
strsted wonderful dramatic powers for
one of his age. He performs with grace
and ease. has good clear, well regulated
voice and sings nicely, but it is to be re-,
GREETED that he should appear in such a
piece which has no plot, verse or any,
thing to give him opportunity to develop
his gifts. This afternoon the company
appeared in "A Sea Waif' for a matinee
performance and it will be repeated to-
night. This is the piece in which the
great tank scene and startling surging
sea of water is provided; and Master
Jones will at the same time introduce q
number Of his songs and other specialties.

An exchange says that every news
paper in the land should publish the fact
that burnt corn is sure cure for hog
cholera. 1t was first discovered by the
burning of pile of corn belonging to q
distillery at Peoria. 1t was thrown to the
hogs and readily eaten by them. Before
that time a number had been dying each
day with the cholera, but the disease im>
medistely disappeared. The remedy is so
simple that it can easily be tried.

The Unwarranted. Ignorant Fling.

When the Holmes syndicate first began
to Law street railway tracks in Rock Isl
and about year ago, Dan he cher, Of
Davenport, had the contract and ems
ployed q number of Davenport laborers
TO do the work, but the Rock Island jour>
nails howled, cried and wept, declaring it
to be an outrage for ContractO- Keleher
to bring Davenport laborers to work in
Rock Island, when there is abur dance of
laborers to be hired there. Tn. cry was
set up: We don't want alien laborers
from Iowa in Illinois" Today and for
several weeks past the Holmes 5yndicste
has in their employ about three hundred
men laying down their tracks under
franchise from the city of Davenport and
they are all Rock Island laborers with the
exception of two men.-Havenport

ply employed as track laying boss
and was finally released because of
his abuse of Rock Island wo-kingmen
under him. When Mr.. Schnitger began
his track laying IN Rock Island be
brought over number of Davenport
men, but there being large number OF
Rock Island laborers idle at that time
protest was made and petition entered
in behalf of home labor, which Mr..
Schnitger courteously respected and put
Rock Island men to work. They proved
themselves so industrious and so reliable
that they have since remained il his en-
ploy and this Is the reason that he is
using them in Davenport. 1t might be
further said that their work accounts for
the rapid track laying progress that is
startling the natives over there. They
learned to do that in Rock Island. iwhere

AS 1t became the duty of republican

pleasant task also of democ attic alder
man to lay the last brick Aid Negus, in
compliance with Contractor Al kinson's re-
quest, performed this act this morning,
and after he had done so he remarked:
Mr.. Atkinson you have made a good
job. On my tour of inspection of brick
paved cities, including as it Ind Peoria,

see street whose surface was anything
like as good as this. You may feel proud
OF your work, and | also des re to COM
pliment Supt. Nevins on the Judgment he
has shown in the practical overseeing of
the paving"
Now it only remains to strsighten out
those crossings on Nineteenth street ard
Second avenue, and then the mayor and
street committee will have the sand re-
moved from the surface of the pavement
so that any depressions, if there be any,
may be attended to by the contractors
before the work Is accepted by the city
The council has already ordered two
blocks of brick pavement on Eighteenth
street, the contract for which will be let
this winter, and at next MONDAY nights
meeting it is quite likely that the extern

and there may be few blocks ordered on

prises will meet with the approval of the
public, as everybody is enthusiastic over

HOUSE,

The members of the house were in
frolicsome mood and they whiled away
the two hours while the clerks gave SEM
ate and house files second and third
reading by playing April fool jokes on
each other. 1t began with note being
sent to Mr.. Wilrich stating that the gov
ernor demanded his immediate presence
at the executive department on import
ant business, and those who were '.on"
to the joke could hardly repress laugh
when that gentleman arose with alacrity
and rushed out of the chamber. Mr..
Ellingson made fruitless trip to the
caucus room where colored convention
was in session listening to Elder Gray's
eloquence, and even the father of the
house. Mr.. Benson, was not secure from
the jokers.
Petitions were presented from Red
Wing, Winona and other places remon-
stating against the passage of the meat
inspection bill, while two petitions were
presented praying that it be passed.
The senate amendment to the bill re-
quixing each town in Stevens county to
support its own poor by applying its
provisions to Grant county was con-
surred in by the house. "
