Next Friday evening the Grand. at

that will surely please theatre-goers
immensely. Robert billiard will be
seen as ..Dick Swift" in s'Lost-24
Hours" Mr.. billiard has been star
ring in this laughable comedy for
some time, and comes to Davenport q
welcome guest. Handsome Bob has
been associated with the best attfac-
tions. and his appearance there will
prove a comedy night at the Grand.
As Dick Swift, Mr.. billiard has q
character particularly suited to him,
and from the rise to the fall of the
curtain laughter prevails. Lost
"a Hours" is one Of the very few
comedies appealing to all classes,
comprehensive, enjoyable and in
structive. The plot is thoroughly
carried out, and there is not q man,
woman or child in the city who can
not profit by the lesson taught.
Dull moments are eliminated en-
tirely, being replaced with dash and

company is said to be a model organ

try.

NOTHING NEW.

Tho Public Stll Uninf0rnod ~ to the
Court House Architect.
While the committee. as The AR.
GUS believes, should have broadened
the scope OF designs submitted, it is
gratifying to know that the Rock
Island architect, George p. Staudu.
har. was among the favored few.
The committee made . mistake in
the mystery it threw about its DELHI
erations. The opening of its ses.
sions to the public might have en-
barrassed and annoyed the commit
tee, but it would have been the best
policy. There should be nothing
under cover in matters of this kind.
The public is interested in the court
house plans and the citizens are as
capable of judging of the merits OF
the designs as the committee. and
they should have had the privilege
to at least pass judgment.
The appointment Of the supervis.
ing architect should command the
attention of the board at once. 1t is
a duty the board owes the public, as
we'll as the candidates for the posi-
ton that the matter be disposed of.
II anyone has q sscinch" there are
quite a number of people who would
like to know it. The boards aye and
nay vote on all candidates is de-
ma nded.
The attention Of the supervisors is
still taken up by routine business.
and from present appearances it is
probable that plans for the new court
house will not be selected before
Thursday evening.

have about one-fifth Of an inch removed

CURLING FEATHERS.
How II Restore Brilliancy TO Dull ana

How t. Restore Brilliancy to Dull and
Dusty Pl1mes.
There are few things that give n hat
more rumpled and shabby appear.
ance than an ostrich feather limp and
detected. looking almost as forlorn as
when it and its fellows arrive FRESH
from ostrichland. ANY one seeing Ell
ostrich feather then would think it only
hit for the ragbag, but q series Of BRISK
scrubbings in warm sOapsuds on q
washboard. Il judicious patching to
gcthcr and elimination of ragged
places. where Sir Ostrich has prccned
himself too vigorously, a curling and
combing. soon make of the ostrich
feather thing of beauty and JOY
forever-until it gets wet-when tho
process of regeneration again becomes
necessary.
Have tea-kcttle full of boiling
water: shake the feather vigorously
through the escaping steam, taking
care that it does not get too damp.
This livens up the plume and restore !
brilliancy if it has become dull and
dusty. Next take silver fruit knife.
and. beginning with the feathers near
est the Quill. take q small bunch be-
tween thumb and foreiinger and draw
gently over the blade of the knife until
they curl as closely as desired. Follow
this process up each side Of the tip:
then take very coarse conso, comb ont
carefully and you have your plume as
good as ever
