Sunday, Nov. IS, and large audience

a story of thrilling interest. The play
is not railroad drama, as the name
would lead one to think, but is very
pleasing comedy full of heart interest
and pathos. 1t contains a very pretty
story and clever plot, which is I'M

The scenery of the play is magnificent

Deserving Recognition on the fart OF tine
Rock Island Road.
A Davenport paper pays the follow
ing compliment to Leon NJ. Allen,
mention of whose promotion to as
sistant general manager of the Rock
Island road was made in The ARGUS
of yesterday:
Leon NJ. Allen is a native of this
city, and is now in the prime of life,
having attained the age OF 50 years.
Leaving school here. he went into
/, local newspaper Office in a clerical
capacity and advanced rapidly, finally
assuming the duties of telegraph edi-
tor on the Davenport Gazette, when
that paper was one of the foremost
organs of the state. In 1883, how
ever, he deserted the ranks of jour
nalism and entered the employ of the
Rock Island road, first as clerk in
Yardmaster Swans office, and later
as assistant of Henry II. Hills, then
local passenger agent of the company.
In 1888 he succeeded Mr.. Hills as
agent here, and subsequently the tri-
city business of the company was
placed exclusively in his charge.
MIR. Allen is a self-made man in
the fullest sense of the word, and the
success which has attended his efforts
has been due to mis- own perseverance
and ability. He has done much to
upbuiId the tri-city business of the
road he represented, and combining
the best interests of The company, as
well as the tri-cities, he has been sue
cessful in attaining many special ia
cilities for the local travelling public.
Rapid transit to Chicago at conven-
lent hours is the result of Mr.. Aliens
efforts, and the Rock Island company
has friends as we'll as increased
business interests to demonstrate the
work OF Mr.. Allen during his period
of service here. His place will be
taken by S. F. Boyd. who comes from
the Chicago office.

Got 1t. ANYWAY.

The Union this morning seems to
be highly elated over the fact that the
vote of Wesley Reddig, which demo-
Gratis in the Third ward succeeded in
preventing being cast Tuesday, was
ballotted in the Fifth ward, neverthe-
less, and makes considerable to do over
the fact that Aid. II. L. Wheelan swore
the vote in. Mr.. Wheelan- makes no
denial of this. and says that
Reddig came to him, told him
his vote had been refused
by democratic judges in the Third
ward, but declared to Mr.. Wheelan
that he was still a resident of the
Fifth ward, and living at the Union
house on Twentieth street. Mr..
Wheelan remembe that Mr.. Red
digs residence prior to his Jail sem
tence was on Second avenue and Tween
ty-second street, and feeling that there
was some suspicion about the case,
Mr.. Wheelan says he consulted one of
the election judges-who happened,
too, to be republican-and after
hearing the circumstances, the Judge
advised him to swear in the vote.
Mr.. Wheelan did not know which
ticket Reddig proposed to vote.
