"Thrilby" Coming.

A most important engagement of
next week is the appearance of the
Garrick Burlcsque company. which
will present ut the Burtis Wednes-
day night Herbert & Pucrner's up
to-date burlesque> ..Thrilby." The
skit is good natured satire on Du
Maurier's novel, and comes here
with the prestige OF nearly one hun
dred nights at Richard Manstield's
Garrick theatre, New York. The
travcsty abounds with bright, witty
dialogues and ludicrous situations, +,
while the music is said to be unusu-
ally catchy. The artists who pre-
sent this merry melange csmprises
the leading exponents in the field Of
comic operas in this country, and
includes Adele Ritchic, Willis r.
Sweatnam. Carrie Perkins, Mark
Murphy, Margaret Macdonald, Louis
Wesley. Jennie Reynolds. George
Herbert, Edyth Murray, Joseph
Roberts, assisted by chorus of SO.
The entire production is carried by
the company, aud the scenery is
said to be particularly novel and
beautiful. Manager Kindt announces
that during the engagement of the
Garrick Burlesque company the or
chestra will be augmented. Owing
to the enormous demand for places,
the advance sale will open Monday
morning.

THE cORDOvA CASE.


Knows all About It.
The Geueseo News. throws more
new light on the Martin mystery at
Cordova. While all the papers of
the three cities have commented
more or less on the circumstances
surrouding the affair, those of Rock
Island have not taken as eagerly to
the revelations of Detective Smith
as have those of M0line-and Clin-
ton, Iowa. In fact The ARGUS for
one has only given such disclosures
as appeared to he of a reliable
nature. However, we will let the
News tell its own story, for it is in
teresting. Here it is:
1.-The Davenport, Rock Island and
Moline papers are having hemorrh-
ages of horror about the the Martin
family. The Martins live, survive
and fourish-at least they live and
survive, or part of them do-up on
Cattail Bayou on the Meridosia.
Some time in the summer Farmer
Martin disappeared. as also did a
16-year-old girl. An Italian hand
named Sunday and Mrs. Martin were
all that occupied the Martin house.
Things looked suspicious. George
X. Smith, who is described as Mo-
lines skillful detective began to
haunt the Businesses of Cattail
Bayou. At last he mustered up
courage to ask Mrs. Martin what
had become of the old man Martin.
He had concluded that she would
know, if anybody. She said he was
in the wilds of Wisconsin. With all
the friendly behavior of the famous
Mr.. Bucket. Smith asked why his
whenceness. Coyly she admitted
that he had sold q rick of hay to two
parties. pocketing the pelf in both
cases. and had gone glimmering till
the affair had blown over. or the
hayrick had blown over; which, she
said, she hoped and wished that all de.
tectives would also be blowed. There
was great mystery about Martin till
one day Mrs. Martin showed letter
postmarked in Wisconsin, in Martins
writing, as she proved by some old
letters. But, where was the girl:
That was none of his business, Mrs
Martin suggested. After 3-weeks
diligent search, the detective located
the girl, as the papers say with pa
thOs. respecting the distance. nc
less than 18 miles from Cordova.
This is indeed getting away out into
the cold world. The papers add in
terest by admitting that she is Z,
bright girl. more than ordinarily
beautiful to look upon To looi
upon! If they had stopped will
beautiful it would have beer
shorn of the weird mystery that over
hangs the Martin family. TO lool
upon sounds Homeric. Then a new
woe broke out. Sunday the Italial
disappeared. The most exaspcratins
outfit to disappear, these Martins!

detective Smith then got afte
Sunday. After weary days o
tasting the footprints scattered be
tween Cattail Slough and Clinton
Smith ran his quarry to cover in th'
latter city, where he was running
wide open Sunday. After the Italian
sobered up, Smith .shadowed' hin
home, the papers say, the Inference
being that he ran along behind Sun
days wagon. Later advices stat
that the dog lis lost now. Smith i

de-camp general though he was, not
the slightest attempt was made to eff
face his name from the list. After
his exploits on the Danube Loris
Melikoff drew the attention of Alex
ander H. to this apparently fragrant
injustice, to this permanent insult.
The name was maintained on the list
for all that, but the epithet was
changed from red" into well mean
ing" The present car has the ut
most confidence in him. His services
during the war with Turkey were Of
the highest order, and on one occasion
when hurriedly sent to the Danube, he
was credited with saving the Russian
army from humiliation. His wife is
a French woman and he always
urged an alliance with France, al
though for many years such an agree
ment was bitterly fought by his oppo-
nent. The success of the move has
raised him to a high point in official
favor.
OF course If the war broke out the
navy would play most important
part in the campaign, and right here
it should be said that the Russian
navy ranks among the foremost of
the great nations of the world. Rus
STA at the present time has large
naval force in the Orient under COM

Moltke has been found. Count Won
Waldersee was on the staff of Won
Moltke during the Franco-Prussian
war and he also served in the war
with Austria in 1866 and in the war
with Denmark in 1864. He has al
ways been a careful student OF the
tactics pursued by Won Moltke. AL,
though nothing definite had been de-
termined, it is generally understood
that In the next European war he will
be at the head of the German forces.
The great soldier in France today is
Gen. Felix Gustav Saussier, the pres
ent military governor of Paris. He is
an old man now, having almost
reached the three-sc score and ten mark
and although ponderously heavy
man, is very active. In the battles
around Metz, quarter of a century
ago, he distinguished himself most sig
nally The famous infantry charge at
St Privat, which practically barred
the progress of the Germans on that
side, was led by him. Saussier was
one of the officers who signed the pro-
test against the surrender of Metz.
Having refused to pledge himself not
to serve again during the campaign,
he was sent as prisoner of war to Co
logne. Nor would he give his promise
not to escape, consequently he was
transported to small town on the
Vistula and absolutely sequestrated-
without effect, for he made his escape
after all. He allowed Gambetta to re-
main ignorant of all this, as well as
of his republican origin. and the great
tribune" whose infallible instinct has
been Wanted so much, only looked
upon Saussier as colonel of the en-
pire and treated him as such. After
that Saussier went once more to AL
geria. Saussier has had more fighting
than any general in the French army,
but it would be rash to say that this
made him a strategist. A brilliant
soldier he was and is still in spite of
his age. The Franco-Prussian war
and the campaigns in Algiers were not
the only fighting experiences of Saus-
sier He also served in Italy, Mexico
and the Crimea. He was a deputy for
some time and in 1873 distinguished
himself in the discussions on the re-
organization of the army.

matter of interest to look at the great
commanders of each of the interested
nations These are the men on whom
each of the great nations would rely
to uphold her martial honor and dig

Should the war take place on the
lines indicated by the present trouble,
1t would be Russia and France on one
side with Great Britain and possibly
Germany on the other. AS far as
China is concerned the United States
would not have much reason to take
a hand In the nightly conflict, al
though eminent statesmen here have
openly predicted that another war
with England is bound to come within
the next twenty years, and that the
present Is as good time as any 10

England's premier military man is
the Right Hon. Garnet Joseph Wolse-

event of war he would be the real

of Great Britain. He was recently APP

He would probably be the active rank
ing naval officer in event of trouble.
He was raised to the rank of rear adj
miral in 1883, as n reward for the bril-
liant condition of the squadron that
served as escort of honor to Alexander
H. in his cruises in the Black sea.
The car reviewed at the time all the
vessels under Tyrtofs command. In
1891 Tyrtof was made chief OF STAFF Of
the fleet and commander of all ports
in the Black and Caspian seas. In the
same year he, as junior flag officer
commanded the practice squadron in
the Black sea and in 1892 was pro
noted to be senior flag officer, In
October, 1892, Admiral Trytof was APP
