Sunday evening at Harper's theatre
will be seen the inimitable Irish come
dian, Barney Ferguson,in, "McCarthy's
Mishaps." Barney needs no intro
duction to the amusement loving pub
lie, as he has stood for years the peer
of all Irish farccurs. His every move
on the stage provokes mirth so that
the audience is kept in Il continual
roar of laughter He is ably support
ed by strong company, including
Marguerite Ferguson, his clever daugh-
ter, who has Just returned from Aus
tralia, where she made such a stun
ming success with the Belle of New
York" company.
From different cities comes news of
the unbounded success which greets
that funniest of all farce comedies,
Skipped by the Light of the Moon, "
in its revised form, which is under
lined for an appearance at Har-
per's theatre next Monday evening.
People were hysterical with laughter,
and said it was better and funnier
than ever. AS the present craze is
for humor and not pathos on the stage,
the above play will fill the wants of
the laughter loving public. From the
opening to the closing of the comedy,
It's succession of mirth and fun.
The characters have been entrusted
to a company this season whose names
are an assurance that they will eX-
tract all the fun to be had out of their
respective parts. The musical num-
berS and specialties have been COM
posed and arranged specially for each
member, whose voice will be heard to
good advantage.

walking Up Stairs.

4 physician who declared that few
people knew how 10 walk up stairs
properly was asked to describe how it
should he done. He said: Usually Il
person will tread on the ball of the
foot in taking each step. This is very
tiresome and wearing on the muscles,
as it throws the entire suspended
weight of the body on the muscles of
the legs and feet. You should in walk
ing or climbing stairs seek for the most
equal distribution of the body's weight
possible.
In walking UP stairs your feet
should be placed squarely down on the
step. heel and all, ana then the work
should be performed slowly ana de-
liberately. In this way there is no
strain upon any particular muscle. but
each one is doing its duty in Il natural
manner. The woman who goes UP
stairs with a spring is no philosopher.
or a least she is not making Il proper
use of her reasoning faculties.
THE habit, too, of bonding over half
double when ascending a flight of
stairs is exceeding rCprchensibie. In
any cXcrtion of this kind, when the
heart is naturally excited to Il more
rapid action, it is desirable that the
lungs should have full play. The
crouchng position intcrfcreS with
their action, the blood is imperfcctly
aerated. and there is trouble at once.
Give the lungs n chance To do their
work everywhere and at all times. -

WHY There WINS Room.

When he was Il young man, Senator
Hale Of Maine, like many young men
who have later on in life made their
mark in the world, was not without
that cgotism which is said to be an
element of success.
On one occasion Mr. Hale was rid
ing in an old fashioned stage coach
with Senator ana Mrs. Frye. Tho only
other passenger was an Irish woman
past middle life, rather comely of face,
who wore enormous hoops, fashiOna-
bic at that period. To amuse his fell
low passengers Mr.. Hale pretended 10

side up close to her as if he We're about
to put his arms about her, look unut-

" at one of the stations Il man put his
head in the door aud asked if there
was any room TO be had inside the
coach.
NO" said Mr.. Hale. "AlI the seats
are taken" Then turning to the Irish
woman and looking into her eyes with
great tenderness he said:

DECISION OF APPELLATE COURT

Reverses Opinion In the Case of j. III. Boil
ton, of Moline, Who Won at Hearing
of a Mandamus Proceeding Verdict in
Gthe John Martens Case is Affirmed. But
May he Carried Higher.
The Moline board of education has
won its appeal in the Bolton case, the
appellate court reversing the decision
OF Judge Gest in the circuit court and
Remaining the case. Thus the con-
tention of the board that it had the
right to receive beginners only during
specified times has been sustained.
The case originated two years ago
in the refusal of the board of educa-
ton to receive the daughter of j. II.
Bolton into the school in the middle
of term. The child was not of
school age when the 30-day limit after
the opening of the term expired.
When she came of age the board re-
fused to admit her and Mr.. Bolton in
stituted mandamus proceedings and
won by decision of Judge Gest. The
board thereupon appealed the case.
Martens Loses.
John Martens, formerly keeper of
the Stewartville saloon, has been de-
feated in the case he appealed from
the circuit court. BY a decision
handed down in the appellate court at
Ottawa, the decision of Judge Gest,
that Martens was selling under Ii
cense which had not been legally pro-
cured, was affirmed and the fine of
$3.50 sustained. 1t is understood the
Martens case Will be carried to the
supreme court.
The circumstances of the case,
which transpired last fall, created
great interest. John Martens, or in
reality the Rock Island Brewing COM
pany, to secure the requisite mum Der
of property owners on petition for a
saloon at the corner of Fifteenth street
and Twcnty-fourth avenue, Moline
subdivided the site among mem berS
of the company, each signing. This
petition was presented 10 Mayor
Swensson and he Immediately issued
license, but in the name of Martens
instead of the brewing company, as
the petition read. The people of the
city were aroused at the violation of
their rights and quo warrdnto pro-
ccedings started. The circuit court
decided that the license was void and
the indictments by the grand jury
were sustained, and Martens paid a
fine of $3.50. Then his attorney APP
pealed the case.

NEW PRIEST IS HERE,
Rev. Father Poettkin Comes to
Assume Charge of St.
Mary's.
MET AT TRAIN BY COMMITTEE.

ToIlinE of the Church Bell Announces His
ArrivaI-Farewen Banquet Given For
Him at DanvilIe. Where He Had Been
Stationed Is Years-High Tribute Paid
Him.
Rev. Father F. \. Poettkin, tine
new pastor of st. Mary's German
Catholic church, arrived last night
from Danville, III 10 assume his du-
ties here. He was met at the Peoria
depot by committee composed of
Rev. Father j. F. Lockney, Charles
Naab, Nicholas Bredar, Joseph Lerch,
Joseph Geiger and John Wich, and
escorted to the rectOry in carriage,
the pealing of the church bell annouuc-
ing the coming of the new priest.
Father Poettkin was for IS years in
charge of St. Joseph's church at Dan
vile. He is succeeded by Rev. Father
Bernard Baak, formerly of St. Mary 5
church, of Rock Island.
The congregation of St. Joseph 5
church at Danville gave a farewell
banquet to Father Poettkin Monday
night, presenting him purse of $50.
The Danville Democrat says:
Father Poettkin is an ideal priest.
He is as large of heart as he is of
body and as large of brain as he is of
heart. His sy mpathies are broad, his
life as pure as the driven snow and he
personities all that is good, and pure,
and noble.
For over a dozen years he has min
istered to the spiritual needs of his
congregation. In Joy and in sorrow
he has been rs father to his children.
In sickness and in death he has given
solace to the afflicted and surcease of
sorrow to the bereaved.
Life of Self Sacrifice.
'.Father Poettkin's life among the
people of Danville has been one of
noble self sacrifice. He has done much
to elevate the tone of its citizenship
and by precept and example urged all
his parish to live up to the lofty ideals
of an exalted manhood and woman
hood.
After all these years of laboring in
this field he is to be transferred to an
other passionate and perhaps forever
has been severed from those who have
grown to love him for the good and
sanity man he is.
What wonder then, that there was
music and mirth, and tears and
cheers at the banquet last night"

which was large one, attracted princi-
pauy by the announcement that we'll
known speakers would explain the work
ings of the primary law which will be
tested in this city for the first time this
falI. Harry MulcreaVy, Deputy Regis
trar was the first one called upon for
this purpose, and, in an exhaustive anal
ysis of the law, gave the members a prac-
tical knowledge of what is to be expected
from its workings. He was followed by
City and County Attorney Franklin X
Lane, who concluded his remarks on the
law with an appeal to Democrats to stand
together and work for the success of the
party at the approaching election. George
CabanisS who followed later in the even
ing, made a characteristic address
which drew forth much applause. James
Bowlan, Charles HolcOmb, ex-senator T
z. Tracy and other members of the club
made short addresses, interlUded with
songs by Jimmie Donahue, viii McMur-
ray and Johnny Mcdonald. Harris or
chestra played numerous popular selec-
tiOns.
In a resolution offered by Charles HoI-
comb, the club declared in favor of the
election of delegates to conventions by
the district system, as against their selec-
tion by the voters at large-that is that
the voters of a district or precinct vote
for delegates nominated for that district
or precinct, as the case may be, and for
no others. 1t was adopted unanimously.
