Rock Island County Beard Who is on

CHAMPAIGN, Jan. 2.-On our way to
Champaign to attend the state convention
of supervisors in this city we were in the
crowd of holiday xcursionists-studenl
returning to their studies and legislators
on their way to Springfield to be in time
to help organize the Thirty eighth general
assembly. Senator Crawford and Repre-,
sentative Mulligan were on board and
each seemed very much impressed with
the duties they were about to assume.
At Bloomington we might have seen the
gang from Cook county, but our train
seemed to be in hurry when we crossed
the Alton and we were not allowed even
glimpse of the Cook county contingent
cy.

8 O'Clock by President Miller, of st.
Clair county, who introduced Mr.. Rob,
inson. chairman OF the Champaign county
of welcome, assuring the gentlemen
present that they were welcomed not only
by the county board but by the citizens
of the whole county.
In response President Miller made a
happy little speech in which he assured the
gentlemen of the Champaign county board
that We are ready and willing to be en-
ter,ainei. Mr.. Miller in his response, s
well as Mr.. Robinson in his address e.
welcome, made happy hit on the recent
uphesval of state politics which from the
applause in consequence showed q good
sprinkling of democrats present sEd com
ing from two pronounced republicansm1 e
it the more funny for the opposition.
Mr.. Miller in referring to the intelligence
of the American people said that some
| folks since election were very much op-
posed to the Australian ballot system.
Mr.. Robinson related that just few DAYS

NO CONDITIONS OF SETTLEMENT.

A meeting of the advisory commit

held yesterday afternoon in Chicago
after long discussion it was
finally decided to declare the
Rock Island strike of, and today at
10 o'clock being the hour. Accordingly
al operators along the lines of the road
who can get back are now at liberty to
accept positions with the company.
Tncre are no conditions Whatever tie The
settl ment, the officials of the order

abandon the strike.
Enormous Expense to the Order.
The fight has been carried on at an
enormous expense to the order and there
being no immediate prospect of settle
ment, II WIS thought best not to continue
it Gny longer. 1t is unders TODD that
what men are not taken back by the COM
pany, the 0. r. 7. will make arrange
mems to provide with places as fast as
possible No bans of any kind are an
nounced against the road and the pre-
sumption is that there will be no further
trouble between the order and the road.

Past Grand Chief Thurston, of the or
der. is said TO have been one Of the NOV
ing ;rits in the calling off OF the strike
aud it is also iRtimsted that he was
against it from the start. In his opinion
it was not the proper time 10 order out
the men. He claims, however. that the
result of this strike Will not work injury
TO the order and that it will he IS strong
as ever. He estimates that the percent.
age of operators who have gone back Oh
the order is very small and will not sffec
it materially. The Fact that it has beer
declared off will probably no make any
changes in the Offices here.

The Change IN Express Companies on the
Burlington system.
According to the change in express
companies on the Burlington system
which went iato effect with the advent of
the New Year, the Adams Express com,
pany will occupy all the Chicago. Bur,
lingten & Quincy system. displaciug the
American Express company east of the
Missouri river ard the Wells Fargo COM
psny west of the river. The change was
made by the Burlington officials because
both these companies do the business of
parallel and competing lines. The direc
tors believed it was for the best interest
of the road to have its lines occupied by
an express company not having conflict
ing or competing interests. They there
fore entered into a contract with the
Adsms company, which is only on one
other rosd-the ST. Paul. The Burling-
ton has never had large share of the
express business in the west and i. wants
to see If it cannot work up as large one
as any OF its competitors
The American Express company issued
letter to its employees on the Q. route
which says.
TIE names Of many of you have been
upon our records for so many years that
they have become as familiar as house,
hold words and we are very sorry that
necessity oompels US TO erase them from
our pay rolls. We fully appreciate the
goodly service that you have rendered us,
and feel that the high standing which this
company has attained with the business
community on the lines of the c., B. 81
Q R r is very largely due to your in
0ividus efforts In Withdrawing from
the Burlington lines, we especially regret
that it tskes from US class of men who
have so fully demonstrated their efflcien-
cy, integrity and loyalty. We found it
impossible to provide places elsewhere
for so many. and decided that it was for
the best interests of all concerned to ar-
range with our successors. the Adams

present positions and at your present

dialogue between Eleanor and Reginald
FitZurse. one of the four knights of the
Kings household who are Becket's enc
mics. and who subsequently took part in
his murder.
Then We have a picturesque bit in a
castle In Normandy where the King and
Chancellor Beckett are PLAYING a game of
chess, the result of which is that the
Bishop takes the King" and Henry kicks
over the table; but he gives the Arch
bishopTic of CanteT bury to his dearly b.
loved Thomas, and from that time the
trouble of the King begins. Beckett be-
longs to the same school of Romish church
men that sent English Henry he Eighth
into Protestantism, and in France made
Louis XIII quail before the power Of
Rome when exercised by RichelieD.

that where conclaye of prelaies meet j.

pointing their swords at his heart. Mr..
Irving is simply grand IL this scene, as in
the strength OF his purpose to prefer God :,
honor before Henry's or any Kings COM
mand. The air of Rchelieu in the pres
ence of Louis and his enemies flows
through the whola scene.
Another admirable piece of acting is
where the Archbishop intercents FitZurse,
who is pursuing Jane Clifford Qair Rosa

Gilbert" She found him and they were
married, Thomas being the fruit of the
union.
The oriental blood that run in Thomas
veins may have had something to do with
the characteristic features that marked
his subsequent career. Henry seemed to
have loved him as a brother. and during
the time of his chancellorship Beckett
TiOted in the most eXtTavagant style of
living. From the time of his promo ion to
the See of Canterbury, however. he be-
came an altered man. opposed himself to
the privileges of the King and the aris-
tocracy and was, in short. the champion
of the church and the people.
To such an extent did he carry this Op-
position that the King, in r fit of anger.
said, at a gathering OF mobiles, 'Not one of
the towards l nOurish at my tabe-no OF
one will deliver me from this turbulent
priest" Four knights, acting on this
hint, repaired TO the Canterbury Cathe-
dral and murdered the Archbisnop in the
chancel. Henry suffered mental tortures
subsequently for this act of ms retainers
and abused himself at the tomb of the
murdered prelate in the most humiliating
acts of penance.
This, in brief. with the incident Of the
secret love the impetuous King entertained
for Jane Clifford, is the material that Eng
lands great poet has touched and beanti-
fed by the magic power of his great poetic
mind. The prologue to the play Is short

THE STORY OF FAIR RosAMUND.
Jane Clifford was the daughter of
Walter, Lord Clifford She was loved not
wisely but too we'll by Henry Ii. who kept
her for roncealment in labyrinth near
Woodstock. Queen Eleanor compelled the
frail fair one to swallow poison. "She
was" says Hgdon. the quaint old chron-
icler of Chester, IN his own style, "tne
fayre daughter of Walter, Lord Clifford,
cnncubyne of Henry ii, and poisoned by
Queen Eleanor A d. 1177.
Henry made for her home of wonder
full working, so that no man or woman
might come TO her. This home was
named Labyrinthus, and was wrought
like unto a knot in garden called a maze.
But the queene came TO her by clue of
thredde, and so dealt with her that she
we'd not long after. She was buried at
