and Thursday, giving on the former
occasion Louis ri. In that play he has
found his opportunity. The part fits
him far better than any of his Shake
spearean roles. Tbs effort Ia sus-
tanned throughout. There 10 no
dropping away from the high
artistic standard which is set up at the
beginning. In the scene OF the fourth
act in which Louis begs the sanity Fran
co.'s for the gift of youth, Mr.. Keene
does more than act. He is. Here
Ksene's talent bursts its bounds aud be-
comes genius. His stimulation OF the
physical side of decrepitude. the shamble
and half-animal cries of an old man, IL

Never was there a more yacillating
mind than Louis KRIS, but Keene fol-

holds the mirror Of nature up to 1t at
every Iurn.

Mission work.

The people of the extreme upper end
of the city cannot well say that the Chris
tian people of the other portions OF the
city have neglected to assist them in a
spiritual way. The Baptist denomina-
ton erected nice church in Sinnett's ads
dition. the Presbyterians neat mission
church in South Park addition. and the
Christian Chapel congregation has entered
the field locating their handsome building
in Lynde's addition directly opposite No
Z school house on Seventh avenue west of
Elm street. Religious services are here
held every Thursday evening under
the leadership of Mr. c.. F. Cooper
The attendance was good last evening
considering the weather and other draw
backs. The services opened with the
singing of three hymns followed by
PRAYER, after which Mr. Cooper delivered
a sermon, taking for his text verses 16
and II of the third chapter of Romans
The discourse, which was the third OF
his efforts, proved to be instructive and
edifyinc. 1t was strictly an off>hand
sermon. the speaker using merely head
ings of the points which he wished tc
talk about. These meetings are growing
in interest and attendance. Mr.. Cooper
is taking great interest in this mission
and if his last evenings effort is sam
ple of what is to come. it will repay thu
people to attend and hear what he has Il

| DavenpOrt,s Hennepin canal Cham
| pions Say the Measure is ais Right.
Messrs. D. N. Richardson and M. l..
Marks, of Davenport, who went to Wash-
| ington in the interests of the Hennepin
canal. have returned home. The Demo>
crat says the gentlemen were gratified at
the excellent shape in which they found
the canal affairs. So thoroughly well had
the senate and house forces attended TO
this matter that for days before the bill
| came up for consideration before the sem
ate committee no fears were entertained
| that any considerable blow would be
struck at the Hennepin appropriation.
And the result was more favorable-to
| the extent of two votes, at least-than
had been anticipated. That this bill
should have met with so slight an oppo-
stion-a single vote in the commits
tee on commerce reveals and eni-
phasized the already stated fact that the
friends of the Hehnepin canal project in
Washington have slumbered not nor
slept. They have been on the alert
| gathering in new recruits, advancing
their lines-serving their country nobly.
Few stones, if any, have been left I'm
| turned this session. MIR. Hayes mastery
effort In its behalf on the floor of the
house on the 25th ult. Is commended in
highest terms by Senators Allison, Cul,
lon. Gorham aud others.
AS to the Hennepin-it is going to be
| built. The work once well begun its pro-
gress will be easier, even to the day when
boats will pass through it from New Or
leans to st. Paul, and from lake ports
| north and east and the far away Atlantic
ports.
From the following special to today's
might still need considerable watching:
The senate committee on commerce is
| working very hard 10 get the river and
| harbor appropriation bill ready for re-
porting to the senate at as early a date as
possible. The committee has already
| agreed to the house proposition making
an appropriation for beginning work on
the Hennepin canal, and will add one or
two more Canal projects before the bill
is completed. This morning arguments
were heard in favor of providing in the
bill for the purchase of the Por-
tage Lake canal across Keewenaw
Point in Lake Superior. The
chances are that this item also
will be inserted. Provision was made
for the purchase OF this canal in the bill
four years ago, which President Cleve-
land vetoed. The price fixed by the
owner is $350.000 and the maximum
amount required to make it ready for
navigation with a deep water channel
will be very large. The committee has
agreed to plan which is not generally
known. 1t has been decided that the sg
gregate amount of the bill is already sc
large that it will be necessary TO make q
horizontal cut from top to bottom aftel
all sections and localities have been pro.
vided for.

NeeterdnX,s Drawninr

Coroner Halves held an inquest late
yesterday afternoon on the body of lit c
Robert Smith. the eleven year old son OF
James Smith, whose sad drowning in
Sylvan water was chronicled in last
nights ARGUS. A jury was sworn com
posed of MIR. Charles Z. Hodgson, fore
man; H. G. Harris, J. G. Miller, George
f Bsrlh, George b. Browner and James
Mccormick. The evidence submitted
substantiaied the facts as given in the
ARGUS of yesterday. Little Bonnie Hawk,
the companion of the drowned boy, was
the only witness TO the calamity. He
met Robbie Smith near the Rock Island
round house about 80 in the afternoon
WHO asked him to 90 in swimming, but
he refused and Robbie went in alone. In
attempting to go from one skiff to an
other which were fastened to raft neal
by. the current caught and carried him
away. He called to Bonnie for as.
sstance. but before the latter real.
lied his peril the boy, after desperately
struggling to the surface four times. dis.
appeared. Bonnie undressed, and lump
ing IN attempted to rescue his little friend
but the current was so swift and the wa
ter so deep that it was all that he could
do to gain the shore in safety again.
He then redressed, and Mr.. Franz
Donnell, of Muscatine, passing along 1t
notified him of the drowning. Mr.. Don
nell at once removed his clothing ant
plunging into the water made five dive
for the body before getting it. DR. Bartl

Bonnie but Robbie was beyond the reacl
of skill. These were the facts as brough
out before the coroner's jury whose yer
dict was that death was the result of "ac
cidental drowning while bathing in tn
Mississippi river, just north of the c., r

Improvement Association.
The Rock River Bridges Discussed
Vice President Carse Reports-OtheT
Matters of Importance

At last nights regular monthly meeting
of the Rock Island Citizens Improve
| ment asso citation President Hass occupied
the chair and there was the usual large
attendance of representative citizens.
The regular order of business, reports
from the standing committees were called
and brought out some interesting infor-
NAL discu ssions. From the committee on
free bridges Mr.. Oliver Olson reported
that the question had been thoroughly in
vestigated and it was deemed expedient
to attempt to cast the burden of the
bridges on the townships of South Rock
Island and Black Hawk; he believed that
these townships could not force the
bridges on the county, neither could the
| townships as matter of law farce the
county to take them. II was evident that
special legislation must be secured before
anything could be done with the bridges.
Vice President Henry Carse made n re-
port of his recent trip to Washington and
the status of the Hennepin canal public
lined what he stated in his interview with
a represer tative of this paper on his re-
turn. exp aiming with what assurances he
looked upon the public building pros
pects-he believed there was no doubt as
to the pas sage of the bill. He explained
in detail The work before the committee
in relation to the yiaduct and the exceed
ingly encouraging outlook for the meas
ure when he left Washington, which had
| been fully confirmed by the Geographic
dispatches of the day. AS to the canal.
he said tie recent triumphs made by the
project both in the house and senate were
known to all who had watched the con
gressional record from day to day He
believed the canal now fully assured,
while the viaduct and public building. es i
pecially the former. were as certain of
success rs could be desired.
Mr.. Oliver Olsen made inquiry MS to
the prospects of the union depot. now
that the viaduct was an assured fact, and

Mai. J. n. Beardsley met with an ex-
tremely unfortunate accident about 1890
last night. He expected to leave on q
late train for Chicago on business mis-
sion, and making hurried visit to the
postoffce was passing out the east door
when he miscalculated as to the staging
which is stretched across over the exca-
walton at the side of the building made
necessary by the recent process of elevat-
ing it. and fell down several feet among
the stone and timber. He was
unable to extricate himself for fully half
an hour, when he managed to crawl out
and get assistance to accompany him
home. His breast was badly bruised, and
as a result serious attack of pleurisy
has sci in which may necessitate his con-
fineme mt to his house for several days

A PRETTY PLIGHT.

A Progressive Community without
Representarson In the legislature
How DO You Like lt1
The legislative nominations made by
the republican party the other day have
constituted the topic of conversation
among all classes of people ever since.
In fact, the ticket has created genuine
sensation, and the party which has per-
mitted the ambitions of two men-one
who never will be qualified, and the
other not hardly beyond the years OF dis
cretion-to guide its policy and warp its
judgment, has subjected itself not only
to ridicule but absolute scorn among the
thinking and capable representatives of
the party. Said one of these men this
morning:
why, think of i'll Here is a commun>
ity growing and progressing as it never
has before and there are likely to come up
matters of much concern to this commun-
ity in the state government, and yet q
party which under most circumstances
has but to nominate Legislative ticket
to elect, takes advantage of its political
good fortune in this district aud puts up
men who are not only incapable of look
ing after the interests of the locality, but
have no ambition beyond that of per-
sonal political advancement l am a re-
publican and interests of the republican
party are my interests, but when party
abuses itself as it has with regard to these
two legislative candidates it insults the
intelligent men of the party on the one
hand and the older members on the other
1t is indeed a happy fact that Rock ISL
and county will be enabled through the
good judgment of the democratic party
and the minority system of representa-
ton to have one man in the legislature.
The republican party disregards ability as
essential to the make up of a senator,
| and discretion as an essential attribute OF
a representative"
