who held his personal acquaintance
is shown n the highly compliment

At that time Mr.. Marshall was a res

taught as usual, but his friends did
not forget him-out Of total of 100
votes in his township, Mr.. Marshall
received 172, running II votes ahead
of his ticket. BY way of illustration.

POKER M'KEEVER.
The High Tempered Pedagogue
and His Vicious Act.
ATTEMPTS TO JUSTIFY BRUTALITY.

Had to WELD 1t to Assert His Control Over
Pupils In the Absence of other Qualities
"A Humiiiating Admission of Guilt, and
q SANDER of HIS Pupils
When Elliott b. McKeever was
young in the profession of teaching
he was engaged to take charge of an
unruly school-a school whose big
boys had an uncomfortable habit of
running the master out OF the dis.
trict. He had pretty hard time
with those boys for time. but he
conquered them, and restored disci-
pline with poker. THE ARGUS
seems to think he would have ex-
hibited better qualities for county
superintendent of schools if he had
skunk away discounted. He isn't
that kind of a Manufacturing Union.
This is frank admission in iustifi-
cation Of McKeever's brutal treat
ment of his pupils, but it is hardly one
that the patrons OF the schools of the
county will uphold in dealing with
unruly pupils. In fact, the average
school supporter will be very apt to
maintain that teacher who is so
lacking in troe qualities essential to
the enforcement of discipline and
government as to be obliged to inflict
injuries the scars OF which the victim
will carry throughout his life. is
lacking in one of the prime reqni-
sites of teacher fully equipped for
his duties. But he the element as
unconquerable as may be-and The
ARGUS has a higher estimate of the
character of the country school boy
than McKeever and the Union
places on him-there could be no
possible excuse for the teacher re-
sorting to such acts of extreme bru-
tally as are attributed to this man
Mckeever.
Vindictiveness not Justification.
AS to the justification which Nc
keever pleads for his inhuman con-
duct, it is passing strange that he
should have waited until the last dav
of school to assert his control over
his pupils in this most forcible man.
ner, after he had failed throughout
the term to exercise discipline dur
ing which time it was to his interests
and the interests of the schools to as
sert himself. In the face of the facts
as they are, the poker act will be
more apt to be construed as purely
vindictive on Mr.. McKeever's part in
giving a parting blow to those whom
h9 confesses he was unable to control
as he should do ass teacher.
Tie attempted excuse that he had
to do it or run is very poor one for
this poker business on the part of

THE THEATRE.
"AmOrita' by the Calhoun Opera Com
pany- Coming Attractions


pany- Coming Attractions.
The S-act comic opera, .'Amorita,"
received its first presentation before
Rock Island audience at Harper's
theatre last evening at the hands of
the Calhoun Opera company, and we
doubt if a more entirely appreciated
and enjoyable musical entertain
ment has ever been given here. In
tuneful sense, "Amorita" can hard
ly be said to be the equal of many of
those compositions with which we
are more familiar, yet there is music
in it and it has charms. Czibulka
had proper conception of the APP
preciative taste and into it he has
put much of the spirit and air that
is so delightful to the American ear.
1t is not necessary to comment on
the various artists individually. who
are enlisted in the production. Let
it suffice to say that the cast is strong
without exception, the solos rendered
with good effect, and the choruses
well rounded in volume and tone.
The living pictures presented at the
end OF the first act constituted fea-
ture which stamps the organization
as thoroughly up with the times in
| all contributes to the entire enjoy
ment of its audiences. We hope the
Calhoun Opera company may come
to us again.
Other Events.
A carnival of comedy is what the
bills say, that announce the coming
of Murray and Mack in their new
edition of .Finnigan's Ball. next
Friday evening at Harper's theatre.
This is about right, for there are few
shows that pleased as well. or did as
much business, as this attraction,
last season; and il isn't to be WON
dered at, for 1t is just what the peo-
pie want, clean, wholesome. reckless
fun. without the least hint at vulgar
| ity. Murray and Mack can always
be depended on to do their share.
when ii comes to creating laughter.
and the boys have prize in store in
the way of novelties this year.
One of the greatest dramatic
efforts in modern history is the
Charity Ball" the powerful New
ork Lyceum theatre success. and bv
special arrangement with the man
agement of that theatre, it will be
presented at Harper's theatre on Sat-
urday night, by great company. The
Charity Ball. is 4 play of genuine
human interest, that gives it a hold
on popular favor that is lasting.
Brim full of caustic touches on social
and business fables and follies. il
interests all classes and will live in
the memory of all who see it, The
come dy element is of new or
der, especially interesting and laugh
able, while the company has received
the greatest praise for its finish in
the Interpretation of the respective
roles. 1t will he the great event of
the season in this cilv.
One of the scenic features in Gar
rick IL Golfers melo-drama. The
Cross Roads of Life" which will be
the attraction at the Grand opera
house, Davenport, next Sunday even
ing, is a section of the Harlem tun-
mel on the Central road. In this
scene an attempt is made to wreck
the Albany express, and the way in
which the accident is ayerted forms
an exhibit of stage realism. The
Cross Roads of Life" is a melo-drama
with exciting climaxes and numerous
scenic and mechanical effects. Ed
mund Collier will play the leading
part.
