vandruT's Island.
An ARGUS representative visited
Vandruff island on Saturday. and
found quite little village had grown
under the rule of Mavor Ohlweiler.
As usual the parties encamped on the
island were enjoying themselves
hugely, and on the face of everyone
was the smile of contentment cou-
Piled with the brawny mark of old
King Sol, whose bounteous rays have
beaten down in the strongest manner
upon the defenseless campers for the
past few weeks. Reports of Friday
evenings pleasure were of the
most entertaining kind. Dancing
was INDUCED in to the sweet strains
furnished by the Orpheus Mandolin
club from the German village, and
the vocal selections were furnished
by the Midway quartet. On Sat-
urday afternoon about 5 O'Clock the
greatest commotion prevailed at the
camp of Louis Salzmann, a great
shout having gone heavenward.
With bated breath nearly all the in
habitants ran to the spot and beheld
Louie coming up from the river with
the first fish caught by member of
the ''Streets of Cairo" camp. 1t was
n pike about eighteen inches long,
but could one have seen Louie try 10
climb the CREASED pole. they would
have thought it was a gold watch and
chain.

Rich, Historical Tableux, Wonderful Spec
ial Features and Gorgeous Pyrotechnics -
An Entertainment Surprising All Autici-
p2tiOns.

An entertainment Surprising All Antici-
pations.
''Americus" is all right.
The opening night of the presenta-
ton of this gorgeous spectacular pro-
duction at Twin-City ball park last
evening brought out large number
OF people, and weather permitting,
the audiences will grow nightly, as
the public begins to realize what a
truly magnificent spectacle has been
brought here. and how the commu
nifty is favored in having such an at
traction so far above the average
introduced through the efforts and
public spirit OF Manager Charles T.
kindt.
The transformation that has taken
place at the park in order that the
show might be properly presented,
and the seating accommodations pro-
vided that all might enjoy the spec
tacle with comfort have been de-
scribed. 1t will suffice here to say
that the management alike as regards
Charles Parkinson, director general,
and his experienced staff, Manager
Charles L. kindt, and those of the
citizens OF Rock Island who have Civ
en- their services, to the securing of
the attraction, have succeeded adj
mirably in their every undertaking.
The entertainment far surpasses
every anticipation. Te apply the
phrase par excellence of slang par
lance-"iti is great"
The Spectacle
Stretched across the entire west
length of the ground is a scenic re-
production of Charlestown IN colonial
days. This acts as the back ground
for the series of events, historical,
patriotic, unique, novel, and bril-
liant that are presented during the
evenings entertainment. ''Ameri-
Gus" in its historical conception
dates back to the revolutionary peri
cd of '76. when liberty burned in the
hearts of our forefathers whose pa
triotism gave birth to the first con-
ception of the republic. We see
those days reproduced in flash
We witness the return of the bride
and bridegroom from the colonial
marriage festival. then the grand
pageant with lanterns. We get a
glimpse of the marching Britishers
in scarlet coats under CORVALLIS.
We hear the Kisses of the multitude
whom we see thronged along the
street as the invaders march BY with
military precision. We see with pa
triotic. enthusiasm the entry Of the
continental forces and French allies
under the leadership of the immor-
tai Washington. We participate in
the ovation that spontaneous inn
pulse accords them. Then most
beautiful picture is presented-a
scene beyond compare. The full
chorus, the military, Otto's finely uni
formed band, drum corps. Indians,
negroes, children. and all auxiliaries
contributing to the magnificent spec,
