ADJUSTMENTS.

The famous romantic actor, Robert
B. Mantell, supported by select COM
pany, presenting The Dagger and
the Cross" will be the attraction at
the Burtis next Saturday evening.
Few actors can boast of the continu-
Gus good fortune in productions which
has marked the career of Robert B..
Mantell. 1t was in 1888 that the pub
lie became interested in the young
man who played Louis Ipanoff to
Fanny Davenport's Fedora, and the
theatrical managers prophesied new
star. 1t was not au accidental hit.
Following a school of drama which
had made his early masters famous,
he desired to create new rolls of the
same type, and with the dictatorship
of his own stage, came to the front
and declared himself for French ro-
nance. In the past 10 years he has
presented as many new works, most
of which have brought fame and for
tune. In selecting such Mantell made
himself a favorite and stands today in
America alone in the excellence of his
work. This is Mr.. Mantell's third
season under the direction of NJ. W..
Hanley, one of our oldest and most
responsible managers.
A succession of packed houses
has greeted the new American play,
The Great Northwest, written by
Herbert Hall Winslow and Will r.
Wilson, wherever it has appeared, and
it's production at the Burtis, matinee
and night, Sunday next, will probably
be no exception to the rule. The play
is one of powerful human interest,
with strong characters, exciting and
dramatic situations and plenty of
comedy. The company carries five
complete sets of scenery and many
mechanical and electric effects.
TheJ. B. Dicksen's ''Hu mpty Dump
ty'' production. which will be here
next Sunday, is a magnificent organi-
zation, larger, newer and more re-
fined in spectacle than seen upon the
road for many years. 1t is a new
adaptation of the old time Mother
Goose story, with new music, dances
and numerous clever specialties. The
scenery and costumes are new, rich
and brilliant. 1t is the same organi-
zation that recently played in the
larger cities of the Interior, and has
been secured by the local manager at
very heavy expense. The patronage
for this beautiful production Will
doubtless be very large, hence it is
advisable to secure seats early.

william Roth Improving His Fourth Ave
nue. Property.
William Roth is having the plans
drawn for two 2-story frame dwelling
houses adjoining his property on the
east at 90S Fourth avenue, to cost
81. 900 each. Mr.. Roth contemplates
replacing the old blacksmith and
wagon shop on the west of his dwell
ing on the corner of Ninth street and
Fourth avenue at some future date
with modern houses. The buildings
that now occupy that corner are relics
of the early history of Rock Island.
One building in the center of the
block on Ninth street has been already
raZed. The removal of this structure
recalls to the memory of many.pio-
neer citizens a thriving German
school, which was also used as meet
ing place for the Turner society.
The Rock Island Plow company is
building a new coke and sand 1-story

Story of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years

wears that she could not turn over in
bed alone. After using two bottles of
Electric Bitters she is wonderfully
improved and able to do her own
work" This supreme remedy for
female diseases quickly cures nerv-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness. melancholy,
headache, backache, fainting and dizzy
spells. This miracle working medi-
cine is godsend to weak, sickly, run
down people. Every bottle guaran-

The cancer was removed the 1st of

put on a salve which drew out the

Relics of CIiH DweIIcrs,

DEW Err. Nov. 17.-One carload of
relics from the ruins of the ancient cliff
dwellers has just been sent to the Muse
UNI of Natural History in New York.
They were collected by Professor George
III. Pepper and are probably the most
valuable ever sent out of southwestern
Colorado. Professor Pepper has spent
the last four summers in the vicinity of
Moscow. Colo, has opened hundreds of
burial mounds and has visited thousands
of the ancient dwellings with which the
sandstone cliffs are honeycombed. He
says his researches have shown that the
ruins embrace tract of 20 square miles,
or at least he worked over that area. 1t
is probable, he believes, that develop
ments will yet show that city larger
than New York and London combined
was at one time peopled in that region.
