AMUSEMEN

The fine southern play, "At Piney
Ridge" by David Higgins, who APP
pears as Jack Rose, the young noun
taineer, will be given ut Harper
theatre Saturday night. This drama,
as presented by Mr.. Higgins and his
efficient company, is one of the dra-
matte treats of the season and no one
can afford to miss it. There are
many new features added to this
drama that is in the third year of its
successful career, and it is before the
theatre-going public better and
stronger than ever-worthier of a
well deserved patronage. Whoever
has seen its fine scenes, its vivid pic
lures of southern life, fully under
stands the secret of its success. 1t is
4 human and lifelike portrayal of live
ing men and women that is presented
and therein lies the secret of its
splendid success. There is not
dreary moment in it from beginning
TO end and no mock sentiment or
STACY clap-trap. 1t is the reality of
life that is portrayed. and the public
feel and know this and hence its per-
sistent triumph as a solid play.
The genius of the author in pro-
ducing funny and novel situations
would seem to be exhausted in "A
Ragtime Reception" the remarkable
musical jingling farce comedy which
has been accepted as the brightest
comedy of late years. 1t is TO be
seen at Harper's theatre Sunday
night, and combines so many pleasing
features, amusing complications and
novel climaNes, that it is easily the
most attractive play of the season.
The author. George Totten Smith, is
famous for his witty dialogue, funny
situations, etc, up-to-date songs.
More particularly so by his clever
vaudeville sketches. 1t is a delightful
musica! comedy with simple, but CO.
herent plot. The situations are unique
and humorous and the musical num-
bers are original and catchy. The
company comprises some of the lead
ing artists of the operate and vaude-
vile stage.

Gle We hope that in the future time

Mr.. MediIrs Response.
Mr.. Medill was wholly unprepared
for the surprise perpetrated upon him
bv his former associates, and was
visibly affected by the warm words Of
friendship expressed by Aid. Law
head. In res spending, Mr.. Medill
said:

mem brances of our associations.

THANKSGIVING day this year. On
that day the universities of Iowa and
Illinois will try conclusions on the
gridirOn at the Rock Island basG ball
park, and that there will be game
worth going miles to seeis not a matter
of question. Heretofore Iowa played
Nebraska Thanksgiving day, always
at Omaha, but last year there was
little difference of opinion between
the two universities, and the Iowa
boys brought the team representing
the Rush Medical college to Rock Isl
and. They got rOundlv whipped for
their pains, for it IS not a matter of
discussion that Iowa did not have a
good team last year, but they made
the discovery that the tri-citv public
WaS aPpreciatlNe OF the great sport,
and that there was enough partisan
feeling between the two states to
make the game a winner. They
therefore decided to bring the Illinois
university team to Rock Island this
year, and there is the hope that they
will make money.
Society Affair.
Arrangements for the game are still
indefinite, but it is proposed from the
star: to make the event a society one,
and the leaders will be solicited for
assistance. RoXes are to be erected
about the field to which an admission
of 81 seat will be charged.

CURIOUS MEDICAL PRACTICES

A fragment of a curious volume has
fallen into the hands of a local physician
which graphically describes the methods
of surgery of several centuries ago. When
it is considered that anaesthetics We're
unknown In those ancient days the modals
operandi of the surgeon of the sixteenth
century must appear s~tartlingly cruel In
the light of the present day.
The work is that of Ambrose Parey.
who, in 1879, being then the much famous
"chirurgion'' of his day, published a bulky
volume which became such an established
authority that 20 years afterWard it was
translated into English and published in
London.
In his first book he considers the gen.
eral phenomenon of the body in health
and disease, and in the chapter relating
to temperaments and humors he writes:
IAN humor is called by physicians what
thing soever is liquid and flowing in the
body of living creatures enclosed with
blood" Proceeding to the Manifold
divisions of humors," he separates them
into four parties, distinct in color. taste,
effects and qualities. namely. blood,
phlegm. cho'er aad melancholy. Exact
in his subdivisions. he says: All me.l
