Stage Realism.

A few weeks ago while The Power
of the Press" was being played in
Boston, little incident not on the
program was enacted. 1t was dur
ing a matinee, in one of the front
rows of the parquette an old gentle
man was trying to quiet little boy.
who was crying as though his little
heart would break; SO much did he
disturb the people near him. that one
of the ushers was asked to have the
little boy taken ont of the theatre.
When the old gentleman took the
child in his arms to carry him out.
he simply screamed at the top of his
voice, and the people on the stage
had to wait until he was outside, be-
fore they coald be heard by the au-
dience. 1t was during the great
ship scene in the fifth act of the
play. Mr.. Stetson. the proprietor of
the theatre, asked what caused the
trouble. The old gentleman ex-
planned that he was the captain of a
ship sailing from Boston, and the
boy was his grandchild, and when he
left the port two years ago. the little
boy spent few days on board with
his grandmother, who had sailed
with him for many years, and when
he saw the ship Mary Vale on the
stage, he thought it was his ship,
and wanted to go on board and see
his grandmother. Try as hard as he
could, he was unable to make the
boy believe it was not his own ship.
Mr.. Stetson asked one of the ushers
to show the old gentleman the ship.
When he went back on the stage and
looked it all over. he said: "Well,
by gosh. l thought it was real. but
by thunder l would not care to go to
sea in such a thing as that. l don't
think she would stand much of a
storm" This great production is to
be given at the Burtis, at Davenport,
tonight and tomorrow night.

Willie Rooster, of Sears, met with
an accident Saturday afternoon
which nearly cost him his life and
which will MAIN him permanently.
While playing near Sears in field.

trees had been grubbed. he found a
dynamite cartridge left evidently by
the men engaged in grabbing. and
not knowing what it was, Willie.
with childlike curiosity, wanted to
know OF what it was made, so he lit
a match and applied it to the fuse
and the cartridge exploded in his
hand frightfully decorating the
thumb and two fingers of the LEI,
hand. and injuring. to some extent,
the RICH. hand. He had several
small gashes over each eye-so near
that had they been much lower his
sight would have been DESTROYED.
He was brought to the Sanitariun n

medical assistance. 1t was found
necessary to amputate the thumb

The Minneapolis Lumherman has
the following relative to the damage
to the b. mill of the Rock Island
Lumber & Manufacturing company a
week ago yesterday:
Another saw mill is added to the
list of those destroyed by fire. 1t is
the mill of Weyerhauser & Denk.
mann, at Rock Island, ILL.,, which
was burned SUNDAY of this week.
The visit of several gentlemen con.
nected with the Weyerhauser syndi-
cate in Minneapolis, Tuesday, gave
rise to the rumor that they were
looking over the plant of the North
ern Mill company with the intention
of locating here. The mill at Rock
Island cuts logs from the Wisconsin
tributaries of the Mississippi, and a
mill at Minneapolis would not pro-
vide means of saving the Viewer
hauscr's Wisconsin logs. There. are
a number Of mills on the Mississippi
below Minneapolis which have not
much timber ahead to saw on. SC
there will probably be no trouble in
getting the logs cut. provided it is
decided not to rebuild the Rock ISL
and mill.
VIII Rebuild.
The damage on the mill property
was practically adjusted as far as the
company is concerned, Saturday af-
ternoon. 1t now only remains for
the various companies to settle their
losses among themselves. At all
events the mill will be rebuilt with
ont delay, it is gratifying to know.

Two young girls were engaged in
stitching flannel dresses for the poor
of the parish.
Now we have completed our gar
ments, our work is finished for this
season, at least" said one of the two
girls, with u sigh of relief.
No, no, wait a moment, just a few
moments more,n replied the other,
and, going into an inner room, she re-
turned with some skeins of crimson
silk, and Il few knots of ribbon and
lace.
why, what are you doing?" asked
her companion, with surprise, as the
deft fingers fashioned a dainty edging
of crimson silk, frilled in the soft lace
at neck and sleeves, and fastened on
the bright ribbons here and there.
