E. E. Hughes, general manager OF
the Davenport, Rock Island & North
western Railway company, announces
that the contract for the construction

been let. and that work will be ccm-

place the location has not been made.
As soon, however, as the railway and
warehouse commission decides the
matter of the crossing the remainder
of the line will be located.
The proposed line will proceed as
| far as Carbon Cliff and from there
will run southwest along the shore of
Rock river to a point about three
miles from that place. where the Rock
river bridge will be located.
1t is the intention to commence
work upon the bridge this fall-tbat
is to commence the hauling of mate
rial, and if possible, commence work
upon the abutments and piers. 1t is
for this purpose that it is desired to
build the line as far as the river as
soon as possible.
The new road will tap what is
known as the Silvis coal mine. located
near Carbon Cliff. The line will run
about half mile from the shaft and
switch will be constructed to it.

COAL VALLEY UNION
MINERS cNA STRIKE.

There is trouble ct the Black Dis
mond coal mine in Coal Valley. Il
seems that when the men appeared
for work Wednesday morning the
union men were singled out by the
mine boss and told that there was no
work for them, while the non-union
men were allowed to 60 into the shaft
and start work. This appeared plain
ly as discriminating against the union
and an indignation meeting was held.
and a committee appointed to visit
the tri-cities, where the bulk of the
product of the mine is consumed.
The committee came to Rock Island
and to the labor leaders stated their
grievance. The matter will receive
prompt attention.
The unions at Coal Valley and other
mining points whereabouts have been
growing very fast of late and it is
claimed the bosses are aiming to break
up the organization.

NOTES OF THE STAGE.

b\rN<>SO
One of the funniest scenes in Tive
Married Men, which appears at Har.
per's theatre Sunday evening, is the
Initiation of Carnaby Fix into The
mystic order of hod fellows. Every.
body can appreciate it and to many il
will bring back fond recollections OF
the night they rode the goat The
characters in this merry comedy are
all well drawn and are interpreted by
a company of actors especially adapt
ed to farce comedy. They come high
ly recommended by the eastern press
and will no doubt repeat here the sue
eastern cities.
Undoubtedly the greatest money
winner Of recent years is "Iu Ole
Kentucky" to be seen az the Burtis
Sunday evening. 1t is now in it's
eighth year, and apparently it's popu-
larity is as great as ever. 1t is play
in thousand. People do not seem to
grow tired of it. 1t has been played
half dozen different times in almost
every city in this country, and yet its
receipts have not begun to decrease.
One good reason for it's continued
popularity is the fact that Manager
Jacob Lift has never attempted to
cheaper it and thereby weaken it by
the employment of inferior actors.
He has kept up his high grade compa-
ny as well as his production. Mr..
Lift, while in Europe the past sum-
mer, sold the German rights to the
l. Il
man and Mr.. Lift will send, over a
band of pickaninnies. "In Old Ken
lucky" is still playing in England,
where its popularity is apparently as
great as it is in this country.
