BAT TIE ON THE STAGE
Moline Theatre Patrons Treated
to a Sample of the
Real Thing.
LEADING MAN ON THE WAR PATH

He and Manager TAYLOR Get Together
Mother Causing Panic Among the
Spectators, Who Rush From the House -
Blood is Drawn But Lives Are Spared.
AmOment after the fourth act of "A
Guilty Mother" at the Wagner opera
house, Moline. Saturday evening. had
commenced, Alfred Rowland. the lead
ing man, rushed onto the stage with
blood gushing from 4 cut IN his face
and cried:
This is what your local manager
did. The show is over Go ont and
get your money at the box Office
As he stood speaking the blood
streamed from the cut, streaking his
face and dripping down upon his
clothes
His appearance created panic
among the feminine part Of the fair
sized audience, and without waiting to
don wraps, or halting at the door for
the rebate, they FASTENED from the
house. Others If those present lined
up ut the window and received their
money.
The trouble started in quarrel be-
b"SVh iuN Nldut0tE
Taylor, of the house. Taylor struck
Rowland in the fl and knocked him
down, and when he got up seized an
empty barrel and had ii raised to
strike the player when other memb crs
Of the company interfered. As an
added complication of affairs, George
Ritter, stage manager, just before the
curtain went up, refused to work. 1t
was claimed Rowland had been drink
ing and was quarrelsome.
Manager Taylor refunded the adj
mission money to the audience.
Behind the Scenes.
Upon the stage the greatest excite
ment prevailed. A weeping wife
chung upon the neck of a storming
husband and there was more melo-
drama behind the scenes than was
ever crowded into a hundred acts of
the show. The stage carpenter got
the woman to the dressing room and
the man cooled down somewhat,
though he continually declared that
he was going to leave them all and go
TO Chicago at once. The company, in
sections, finally got away for Daven-
port. where it played last night. 1t
is a really excellent troupe of II mem
bers. 1t is billed for week in St
IoniS

THE "BEARDED LADY"
Women are sometimes appealed to
by the cunningly worded ADVERTISE
ments of designing men ito write up
a woman" on the plea that woman
sympathizes with woman and "wo-
man understands a woman's needs"
AS a matter of fact man must be a
physician to give medical advice. and
1t is equally true that no woman is
competent to give medical advice on
womans disease without medical
knowledge and training. If you want
a wOman's advice, scores of friends
around you can give it. If you want
a doctors advice, ask first: "Is this
woman a competent and qualified ply
Sician?" The answer to that question
will tend to restrict the bearded lady
to a legitimate field of operations. So
| far as is known there is no qualified
| and compentent woman physician as
ISOLATED with any preparation put up
| for female disease. There certainly
| is no one, man or woman, with the ex-
! perience of Dr. Pierce; with over thir-
| ty years devoted to the treatment of
woman's diseases and a record of nine
| ty-eght per cent. of cures in half a
million cases.

! cant in "Favorite Prescription" neith-

designed for women can this be said.
"Favorite Prescription" does not in

cotics. Without either of these ingre-
dents and even without syrup Of su-
gar, it retains its pleasant taste and
healing properties in any climate.
Many dealers give you "Favorite
Prescription when you ask for It.
Some dealers don't, because there may
be a few cents more in some substi-

and, as the saw was plnched some
what, he got out on the end of the
stick, like the coon that sawed the

| "Ough!" as the pavilion man sank be-
