George II. Johnson, of St. Louis,
who it is anticipated will soon give
Rock Island new opera house, ar
rived in the city this morning still
suffering from sciatic rheumatism.

layed Mr.. johnson goes to Musca-
tine, where he takes the next step
following the ticket sale, that of ar
ranging for the erection of the build
ing. An evidence of how far MIR.
Johnson's work has been retarded is
shown in the fact that his new thea
tire at Greenville, Miss, will be opened
this evening with plain whue drop
curtain, he being unable to complete
the drop in time for the first perform

the opening bill there. Though

MILL CREEK ON RAMPAGE.
OyerHows Its Banks and Causes a Panic
In Milan.

Owing to the heavy down fall of
rain last evening. Mill creek over
flowed it's banks and came rushing
down through the fields into the viii
lage of Milan. causing people to move
their effects to the higher portions of
the town and to make fast such other
things as were liable to float away.
The water washed out about q mile
of track on the Rock Island d Peoria
road east of town. thus interrupting
train service to Peoria. The Trilby,
which was due in Milan last night at
1910 did not get in and was
held at Coal Valley until the track
could be repaired. The bridge and
section men were at work all night
trying to keep the track from wash
ing out, but their efforts were in vain.
The wrecking train was sent out from
Rock Island and a full force of men
were put to work repairing the track.
Fences and brick walks were
washed out. All the wooden cross
ings in the town were washed away,
while some people were unfortunate
enough to have their poultry drowned.
There was much destruction of car
pets by The water getting in the
houses. All the bridges over creeks
in the country west of Milan were
washed out
