"Oie Olson" to n Large aud Delighted

Audience-HavsrIy' MinstreIs Next.
That delightful dialect comedy, "Ole
Olson" was presented to large and ap.
preciative audience at Hsrper's theatre
last evening. 1t is. perhaps, not too
much to say that the production is one Of
the most sparkling that has come to US
in many seasons. 1t abounds in original
comedy and bright music, while there is
enough of plot, at the same time, without
anything of the blood and thunder sort.
to maintain interest Ben Hendricks
as "Oie Olson" proves himself strong
comedian and master of the
dialect peculiar to the tongue. Miss Lot
tie Williams as Genie Dimple." is q
charming soubrette, and Miss st. George
Hussey as Mrs. Bridget O'Flannigan,
captured the house, and was favorite
| throughout. Her topical selection, The
Ship That Brought Me Over" was ex-
crutistingly funny. The National Swed-
ish Ladies' quartette sang prettily num-
Der of selections in their native tongue.
and the company throughout was unu-
sually strong. Manager Salter has an
attraction that should always commend
| itself to those who ENJOY rich and legiti-
mate comedy.

Farmer" Burns. the unsophisticated
looking all around athlete and champion
middle-weight wrestler of the world, ar
rived in the city last night from his rura!
home at Big Rock. Ia, and
went Immediately to the home Of
his hacker, John Gipson, on
Fourth avenue. Burns arrival here was
for the purpose of making the definite
arrangements for his coming bout with
Hugh Dougherty. which occurs at Tur-
ner hall on Saturday night.
and for which the articles
have been signed. as stated in
THE ARGUS last evening. The fsrmer
champion, who has so often surprised
some of the best known heavyweight
wrestlers in the country. has not been
we'll for some days, and upon his arrival
| here last night desired to have the match
postponed for week at least. but on
request from his hackers he has decided
to wrestle Saturday as stated. In the
meantime he will do mis- best to get in

| day, it is thought that by the time Sc. for
| the contest he will come around all right.
| Burns is too well known here to
need an introduction. He has wrestled
| several matches in this vicinity and has
| always shown himself to be marvel In
! athletic skill. In his several tours
through different sections of the country
he has met all corners, and has never yet
been worsted by a man of his own class.
| though he has frequently bested wrestlers
| who far outcasse1 Linn in weight. The
| title to champion middle weight is now
| generally conceded. though he wears his
| honors easy and would never be picked
| out as man of Herculesn strength and
| endurance.
Hugh Dougherty, who is being backed
| against Burns. claims to hail from Oak
| land. Cal. and is said to be on his way
| to England. He is somewhat heavier
| than the former champion, and his back
ers claim is an exceedingly clever man.
| Burns has always had the best of it in
| contests hereabouts. and some of those
| who backed the losers have been looking
| for a chance to play even and a num-
| Der of them are ready to put their money
on the newcomer. while Burns, who is
better known. has many friends wLo are

There is no enterprise in Rock Island
which has proven more successful in the
same length of time, and at the same time
demonstrated itself as of so much credit
to the city as the Morrell Institute. The
institute has developed into a great sue
cess, simply because it has merit. which
has been properly presented to the pub
lie. Practical investigation has proven
that the Morrell treatment is all that it
has represented itself to bean absolute
and permanent cure for all such habits as
the liquor. tobacco and opium A large
number of men in Rock Island and vicin>
ity who have tested the remedy will
testify to its thorough efficacy. Tie
chief glory Of the Morrell cure, further
more, is that it is not single handed in
its blessings. They are msnifoh. Not
only is the individual uplifted and given
a new life. but those who are dependent
upon him, who feel the modification of
the deeds habit may lead him to commit.
more than he, perhaps. look upon the
Norrell institute % shedding peculiar
light in tho community.
It. therefore. affords one delight to
speak the praises Of this great institute,
to set forth the innumerable evidences of
its worth. and to commend it to all who
may desire to tear themselves from those
evils which hsye beset their lives and
driven them to tho verge of ruin. In the
Morrell institute al who are thus AZ

SATURDAY, Sept TO-
General business has been quite ami
mated during the week ending to-day. From
all dependent sections the demand showed
considerable force, and the operations on
city and suburban account were more lib
eral than at any time since last spring.
The comparatively heavy payrolls distrib-
uted among the mill men for the first time
in several weeks had a good effect on the
retail trade and through it the wholesale
and iobbing trades were fsvorably affected.
Collections were easy.
The course of prices favored sellers as q
rule Breadstutfs were easy. with steadier
tone toward the close; groceries were firm
under the lead of coffee. which was ad-
vanced &c per ID to-day, though high grade
sugars closed fractionally lower; provisions
suffered another decline to-day; dairy prod
ucts, eggs and poultry were firmly held;
vegetables were scarce and higher; fruits
were easy under large supplies, and others
were generally steady.
