Curious Cause OF q suit.

ander Phair, Willow river homesteader,
was some days ago attacked and badly
injured by q moose which he met in the
woods while on his way here. The law
sais moose cannot be killed for nearly
three years yet and therefore Phair did
not shoot the animal when it rushed 1t
him. During the fray Phair was knocked
down and badly cut up. He at once in
stituted proceedings against the state TO
recover damages for personal injuries, al
leging that the moose Is q ward Of the
state and the latter is responsible for the
animals acts. He also alleges that II he
had killed the moose he would have been
severely punished.

Lillian Lewis will be seen ut the
Burtis in Davenport this evening in
her beautiful conception Of "Cleo-
patra." The picturesque in drama
can 60 no farther than it is carried
in this production Of "Cleopatra."
Every opportunity is taken advant-
age Of to make the play pictorial.
Music, ballet, tableaux, beautiful wo-
men adorned by, and adjoining vo-
luptuous costumes, color and light,
the scene painters art. and the me-
chanic's invention all these are
pressed into service to make "Cleo-
patra"a dramatic spectacle of i'm
posing magnificcnce-and such it is.
The music is decidedly semitic.
Gorgeous is the only word which can
describe the costumes. and whether
the beauty of the chorus and ballet
adorns the garments, or the garments
adorn the wesrers, one thing is GER
tain-the effect of beauty and lowell
ness is there. But it is not alone
the spectacular which is to be COM
mended-the drama is we'll acted.
Miss Lewis has herself as a mastery
conception of the Egyptian queen,
and her fine physique and splendid
voice tit her admirably for the por-
trayal Of this part. The cast which
supports Miss Lewis is capable, and
includes some Of the best classic &C.
tors in the country.
The New York Record in speaking
of Mile. Leotta, the distinguished
impersonator who appears at Har-
per's theatre tomorrow evening, un-
der the auspices of Eastern Star.
says: "All were delighted with
Leotta. She possesses a versatile
talent. Her scope of attainment is
unlimited; her voice is her slave;
with it she awakens every grand and
ennobling emotion within you. Your
eye dimmed at her protrayal of the
sad. the pitiful, leaps joyously free
as with her deft mastery she strikes
the chord OF mirth.' To whatever
depths or heights Of impersonation
the most daring students Of voice
work have ventured, there too is
Leotta not as q mimic but as q
master"

The Board Of Education Disposes OF Sew
eral Matters.
Routine matters occupied most of
the board of education's attention at
its monthly session last evening.
Authority to pay the $4,000 on the
new school property acquisition in
the southeastern portion of the city,
on which q new building is now in
course of construction. was vested
with the president and clerk. The
necessity Of more thorough literary
studies was discussed by Mrs. Ham
ilton, who believed it essential that
it be given immediate consideration.
Supt. Ameut conceded with Mrs.
Hamilton, but thought it. would be
somewhat expensive to purchase the
necessary books. The board has
not any too much finances, anyway.
and the literature question was not
treated enthusiastically. 1t was re-
ferred to the superintendent for fur
Their investigation.
Mrs. Ida Lundy was transferred
from building No. 6 to No. Z, and
elevated from seventh to eighth
grade work and was allowed . cor
responding increase in salary.
Miss Roderick, of Dedam, Iowa,
has been given q position as pri-
mary teacher at salary of $40 per
month.
The Expense Account.
On recommendation of the finance
committee the appended bills were
allowed:

When a person is losing flesh an

When a person is losing flesh and
wasting away there is cause for
alarm. Nothing SO worries a physi-
clan. Consumptives would never
die if they could regain their usual
weight. In fact, there would be no
consumption if there were no vast
ing of the system. The cause of this
loss Of flesh is . failure to properly
digest the food eaten. Nine-tenths
of all our diseases date back to some
arrangement of the stomach.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will
stop this wasting of the body. 1t
acts BY causing the food we eat to be
digested SO a. to do good. for undi-
gested food does more harm than
good. The Cordial contains food al
ready digested and digester of foods
as well.

enough if her mother had lived TO look

which Charlotte's conduct had excited

| could no longer be explained by any
supposition that did not blast her name,

Gossip had wearied itself with that
mystery. The girl was not dead. She
had written TO her father, and had
begged him to forget her. He had
| exhausted his resources in the endeaVor
| to find her, and had failed. Upon whom
should the blame fan? At first there
was mention of young DR.. Robert Max
we'll He had seemed to be smitten
with the girl, and had left town rather
suddenly about the time of her disap-
pearance But he had returned, and
had cleared himself Of suspicion. His
temporary absence had been easily eX-
planned Though Charlotte had left
behind her what might be called a con-
fession, it was so vague as to leave even
the sin itself In doubt. There were
some of the townspeople who stoutly
maintained that the girl had run away
to go upon the stage. But when all the
evidence had been discussed thousand
| times. Williston rendered q verdict that
Ned Ames knew something about 1t.
Charlotte had smiled upon him in spite
of his disgrace; and her disappearance
succeeded his fight by less than two
months.
In view of these facts. an address by
Rev. Eliot Warren beside the coffin of
Ned Ames should be worth hearing.
| Would his plea for the forgiveness of
the sinner ring hollow and false?
Would he dare to openly condemn,
when he knew that everyone within
sound Of his voice would be thinking of
his daughter?
The Ames house was crowded, though
! it was 50 large as to hold nearly half
the population of the town. The choirs
Of the orthodox and Unitarian churches,
united for this most exceptional occa
sion, were stationed in the ham. Mr..
| Warren had not come. A whisper ran
about that he had been unable, at the
| last moment, to make up his mind to it.

had been received in SUCH way as to
prove that the old suspicious really had
been laid at rest.
Samuel Ames stopped DR.. Maxwell in

Caprice Denied TO Mediocrity Is Permitted

The following anecdote concerning
the great French actress and the equal
ly renowned playwright is Vouched Tor
by the correspondent of the Courier
des Etats-Unis: The two who have
achieved the greatest triumph in "Gis-
monda," NJ. NictOrien SardOu and Nine.
Bernhardt, were at swords points in
the beginning This dislike dated from
Daniel Rochet," which SardOu gave to
the Coincide Franchise after his nomi-
nation to the French academy. Sarah
Bernhardt expected that Sardou would
select her to create the role of heroine
in the play, but he chose Mile. Bertet
instead. Hence the anger of Nine.
Bernhardt. When the actress and the
author met the former passed ON the
other side, the latter pulled his hat
down over his eyes. Each murmured
something not at all complimentary to
the other.
Then Sarah Bernhardt left the Com
edie Franchise, went ITO America, where
she made her first triumphal tour, and
returned to France. Upon her arrival
in Paris she entered into negotiations
with Raymond Deslande, manager of
the Vaudeville. She asked nothing
better than to play there. But what
should she play? She did not wish to
return to classical roles; she wanted an
entirely new play, which should bring
out all her qualities.
There is only one man who san
write the play you want" said Des-
lande. THAT man is Sardou.'
"Sardou!" cried the actress. "Such
a ispositiOn-incapabl of doing jus
tice to an artist moreover, irritable
brutal, a man who runs up against
everybody who"
Very we'll" replied Deslande, 'let
us say no more about it, He went
