THE LOST is FOUND.
Mrs. smith is Located in Rock Island and
Tells Her Story.

ltiis htf StoFy
Mrs. Frank Smith. of Muscatine,
whose husband came to Rock Island
yesterday in search of her, was found
by Officer Ohlweiler last evening in
a house down town. where she has
been since her arrival in the city.
She said that the statement made by
her husband that she was mentally
affected is untrue; that she had trou-
BILE with him and that was the cause
of her leaving him week ago. She
told the officer that she would go
back to her husband on consideration
that he treat her better in the future.
Mr.. Smith left for home last evening
and when the officer found his wife,
he telegraphed TO him to come and
get her. Mrs. Smith then told the
officer that when her husband came
that he (the officer) must come with
him or she would not see him.
Two Sides TO It,
From all appearances Smith is not
just model" husband, and as in
all cases of the kind there seems to
be two sides to the story.

1t may be no different in Rock
Island than in other cities, but the
fact is painfully apparent that the
Worlds fair is having distressing
effect on the theatre receipts.
Theatrical people predicted at the
opening of the season that this
would be one of the most severe that
the profession had ever experienced.
The conclusion was drawn from the
well established theory that people
going to the Worlds fair would seek
to economic in the indulgence in
home pleasures during the coming
winter. But it was not supposed
that this fact would cut the
figure it has already done.
locally speaking, at least.
The fact of the matter is that the at
tendance at Harper's theatre thus far
has hardly paid for the lighting of
the house. The complaint in the
past" said Manager Montrose, in
| conversing on the situation last eve
ming, has been that our attractions
here have not been up to the stand

condition as fast as possible, and

is no assurance that they will, and
unless business picks up | will be
forced in justice to these companies
to release them. The patronage we
are having now is not only hurting
the theatre now, but killing it for the
future with first-class companies. =
And Manager Montrose voices tho
