WALHALLh.

Lovclicst Of highland clusters,
Sweetest forcst-lonclincss!
Fairy-land of shades and lustrcs,
Paradise of wilderness!
All, for words thy grace to linn,
All, for songs thy charms to hymn!
Blessed is thy power Of healing
Doubling hearts by wisdom's balm,
Soothing every worldly feeling
BY tho samcncss of thy calm!
Teaching Hope and Faith and Love,
Like voice from Heaven above!
AS my lips drank from thy fountains
Draughts of Lcthc unaware,
AS l gathered from thy mountains
Sweet Ne .)cnthc for my care,
Lot me now, though far from thce,
Solely feel thy witchcry.
On me cast thy nccromancy,
O'or mo pour thy magic spell;
Ian to life my every fancy,
.Opc my bosom's deepest well,
That, forgetting place and time,
l transport mo to thy cline!
All thy charms of beauty blended
Bring again before my sight;
BY thy odors, wildwood-sccntcd,
Thrill my heart with new delight;
Breathe thy fragrance, watt thy bloom
Through my city attic-room!
Thou hast heard mc-thou hast granted
Spirit, my dcvout request!
Like fairy-rcalm, enchanted,
SO thy wales, thy mountain crcSts
Lilo before my rapturcd eye,
Fair and open, clear and nigh!
And mine ear culs from the voices
Of thy brcczcs tales of yorc;
Sweetest science that rcioiccs
Thrills my bosom's inmost corcl
These nen thy grat , to linn,
These sing thy cb arms to hymn!

A clever combination of old-style
minstrelsy with the progressive, up
to-date features introduced each sue
ceeding season has made the Wright's
Original Nashville Students, COM
bined with Gideon's big minstrel car
niyal, one of the most popular and
most enjoyable minstrel attractions in
America today. 1t comes here with
the most substantial of metropolitan
regulations. 1t is a liberal enterprise
founded on the best of principles. 1t
brings an army of colored performers
who are pronounced matchless in
their ability to create wholesome fun.
Every feature in its lengthy grogram
represents money and originality. No
two acts alike and no surfeit of any
one act; everything crisp, clean and
fresh, and all presented in quick
continuous round without a single
wait. Singers, dancers, acrobats,
tum blers. musicians, two big military
bands. symphony orchestra and a
variety of unlimited features combine
to make this the strongest and most
expensive company playing here
this season. 1t will appear at Har-
per's theatre tomorrow evening.

FAIR BRIDE,
Robert IngersoIl Weds Miss Ber-
tina Milde Before an Audi
ence Of 10000.
JUSTICE DAN ". GOULD oFFICIATEs

Ceremony Performed on a Brilliantly Dec
GRATED Platform on Market Square, Mo-
line, at . O'clock Yesterday Afternoon
Couple Escorted by n Band-An Array of
Presents.
Robert Ingersou, who served with
the 9th Illinois regiment during the
war with Spain, and Miss Bertha
Milde were joined in marriage on a
brilliantly decorated platform on Mar
ket square. Moline, at > o'clock yes
terday afternoon. Fully 10000 peo-
pie were packed within the streets
leading to the square to witness the
event.
The bridal party was escorted from
the home of the bride by band led
by Promoter Mcdonald and the COM
rades of the groom in Company F.
The bride and groom were driven to
the scene of the wedding in a carriage
decorated in purple and white, a
coachman and footman attending.
The ceremony was performed by JUS
tice Dan W. Gould, and the couple
were attended by Bert Milde, brother
of the bride, and Miss Clara YER
schoore. Justice Gould gallantly
KISSED the DTlue- aIieI ne udu IlLO-
nounced the solemn words.
After a crowded reception at the
BRIDES home Mr.. and Mrs. 1ngersoll
started on a wedding trip to Peoria,
the Rock Island " Peoria road having
generously donated passage therefor.
The merchants of Moline presented
the couple with a great array of house
hold and ornamental gifts
Today is old soldiers, sailors and
We old 1iddlers' day At the fair.
The Proper Caper.
Through the efforts Of the Moline
Dispatch the barrier which kept many
out of the midway has been removed.
Access to the enclosure where the
special features are exhibited is now
free. People objected not so much TO
the toll of 10cents, as to the principle
of paying for nothing beyond the
privilege of getting an opportunity to
pay Tor seeing the real something.
The idea struck the popular mind as
an imposition, and but for the success
full move on the part of the Dispatch
the effect would have been dampener
on the enterprise, one that would have
surely reacted had the fair been re-
peated another year. The idea OF
charging TO the midway was species
of poor judgment in management,
taking it from any standpoint, that
was overruled none too soon.

RYAN DEFEATS MoFFATT.
Men Go go Fast Rouuds at Dubuque Last
Night.

Men Go 20 Fast Rouuds at Dubuque L asst
Night.
Tommy Ryan was given the decis-
ion last night at Dubuque over Jack
Moffatt after 20 rounds of hard and
fast fighting The bout followed pre-
liminary between James Sellers and
George kerwin, which was awarded
to Kerwin at the end of the seventh
round, Sellers seconds throwing up
the sponge
Ryan entered the ring first and was
loudly cheered when introduced by
Referee Siler. He was seconded by
Jack White, Farmer" Burns and
Maurice Rauch. Moffatt had Harry
Gilmore. Henry Lyons and Pat Early
behind him. Ryan had all the adj
vanta ges so far as appearance was
concerned. He seemed fit for any
kind of a fight and gave an impress
sion that be was heavier than his OBJ
ponent. Both men, however, weighed
in at less than $50 pounds, although
they signed to meet at 152 pounds.
Moffatt found some supporters in the
betting. the odds being 800 to $40 in
favor of Ryan. Chicago men laid
large amounts that Moffatt would
stay the full 20 rounds. The bout
furnished the aspect of one boxer full
of cleverness and confidence from eN-
perience and the other full of deter
mination and anxious to make rec
ord.
Tommy Ryan has signed with the
Fort Dearborn Athletic club, Chicago,
for two bouts to be decided within
month. The crack Syracuse fighter
will meet Billy" Stiff in Ground
bout one week from tonight, and he
has agreed to take on Joe Choynski
the first week in October.

Services incident to the Jewish New
Year begin on the evening of the 4th
and continue throughout the 9Th and
9th by the orthodox Jews and on the
9th alone by the reformed. Accord
ing to the Talmud the two days are
accounted only one long day and it is
given up to repentance for sins COM
mitted dnring the year that is gone
and the preparation of a clean slate
for the coming year.
Ten days later comes Yom Kippur,
to be followed in yet another 10 days
by the feast of booths, the harvest
home or thanksgiving. BY that time
the new year is fairly launched and
sins begin to accumulate for atone
ment on the next new year, which is
a habit that sins have.
