The fellow was taking in the surround

Careful Road Making,

1t Is nothing unusual for man to pay
his tax by work Oh the roads. but the way
Mr.. Edwin Mcintyre, OF Warren, works
out his tax is little out of the common
course. Mr.. Mcintyre goes over the piece
of road he cares for at regular intervals
and picks up every rock. He collects them
in wheelbarrow, takes them home, pull
verlZes them on a stone anvil and dumps
them back into the road again. This prac-
tice he has kept up for thirteen years Dur
Ing that time he has ground and put into
the road fifteen cords of rocks Mr.. Nc
Intyre not only measures them, but the
last two years he has counted them.

E Montrose was signalized by the ap
pearance of brillia mt and appreciative
audience to witness the presentation for
the first time in Rock Island by the Csli>
fornia Opera company of the comic open
''Ssid Pasha." 1t was a most suspicious
event, and one that must have been high
ly gratifying indeed to the new and pop
ular lessee. The remodeled boxes ON
either side of the stage were occupied by
representative citizens and their families
and by young people of both sexes repre-
senting the elite of Rock Island, Dsven-
port and Moline, the ladies appearing in
evening costume and the gentlemen in
full dress.
The comical musical production "Said
Pasha," while never classed as a great
work. affords many opportunities for fun
and entertainment. which are improved to
the utmost by the California Opera COM
pany. The libretto was written by Scott
Marble, while Richard Stabl composed
the music. The story is sufficiently COM
plicated TO give opportunity for varied
musical treatment. The cast was care
fully selected and included among the
more important representations. Mr..
jerome Sykes as Said Pasha," Mr.. Bert
Holcombe as "Hassen Bev," Mr.. CHI.
League as the "Raiah, Mr.. Robert Mans
field as "Hsdad." Miss Agnes Sherwood
as Serena, and Mise Julia Christian ss
"Alt." The honors of the evening were
awarded 10 Mr.. Bert Ho combe, who in
his youth resided in this city. and who
possesses rich baritone voice and ease
of action that should give him the leading
place in the caste; to Mr.. Robert Mans
field who proved himself a clever and
original comedian, and to Miss Agnes
Sherwood who is gifted prima donna
and graceful actress.

willful falsehood asserted that
there were not more improper
passages in Smollett, Fielding,
Pope and Shakespeare, the book
peddlers were held to answer the
charge Of selling obscene litera-
ture, their bail being fixed at $500
each. 1t is significant fact that
the magistrate before whom the
examination took place, when
asked il there were not more inn
propriety and obscenity In the
Bible, Indignantly declined to
answer-probably on the grounds
that he did not desire to criminate
himself by the admission that he

The Press-Gag i'm Venezuela.

CITx OF CARAcAs, Sept. 3.-The
President OF Venezuela has issued
a decree banishing several editors
who have been adjudged as hav-
ing libeled him and other public
functirnaries.
The President Of Venezuela,
who has made such a mistake,
will find himself in a much worse
condition than he was before the
editors strengthened his retten
chair on it's tottering foundation.
The press has held itself aloft in
this matter until it became nee
essary to show up the corrupt
state Of affairs in that section.
The President con- iders such ac-
ton on the part OF the press libel
o.s, and has taken the under
hand method of exclusion to give
vent to his spite and we warn
him in tine, to monkey less with
the press while in motion, and
give more attention to the office
he SO badly represents.
