STORIES OF THE STAGE.

There is not one dissenting word to
the general verdict that David Higgins
and Georgia Waldron in their new
play, Counting at GREEN'S" have
scored heavily and far excelled any
previous effort on their part. The
Kansas City World, of Oct. 8, refer
ring to the play, said: 1T is a bright
rural comedy-dra and the enthusi-
asm displayed by the large audiences
at the Grand would seem to warrant
the statement that the play has merit,
which at the very least entitled it to
rank with that other popular piece
from the pens of Mr.. Higgins and Miss
Waldron. AT Piney Ridge The
scene is laid in the Adirondack noun
tains and every part in the play is
well handled and the staging is ample
and appropriate. Special scenery and
a New York company of II people
present this new and charming drama,
which will see its first presentation in
this city at Harper's theatre next Sun
day night.
The costumes worn in Robert B.
Mantell's new play, "a Free Lance"
were purchased by Mr.. Mantell during
his visit abroad this past summer.
They are absolutely correct from his
torical standpoint, as are also the
many elaborate settings and accesso-
ries provided by Manager M. w. Han
ley. IA Free Lance" comes to the
Burtis Saturday evening.
Mildred Holland. who has won much
favor in recent years, especially as
Fan-Fan in 1.-The Two Little Va
grant" will begin her annual starring
tour after election in Theodore Kre-
mer's new romantic drama, The
Power Behind The Throne" In this
new play Miss Holland has a legiti-
mately serious role, the portrayal of
which will be a pleasant surprise to
her many admirers.
The Belle of New York" com
pany, which is considered the New
York Casinos most brilliant product,
and which scored such an enormous
success in London at the Shaftesbury
theatre, is making a triumphal tour
in this country, and will be seen at
the Burtis next Tuesday evening.
The Belle of New York; is a most
fascinating girl who wears beautiful

MEET At THE VALLEY
Democrats Have an Enthusiastic
Demonstration at the Min.
ing Town.
MARCHING CORPS IN ATTENDANCE
Big Street Parade and Able Talks
by Rock Island and DaV-
port Speakers.

Coal Valley capitulated last night
to the Bryan and Stevenson Anti-Im-
perialistic club which fell upon the
town, 100 strong, and obtained COM
plete possession without striking a
blow. The train. due to leave here
at 1855, which carried the club to the
mining town, was half an hour late,
so the return, which had been planned
on the Trilby, arriving here at 1920,
was put off. and the special car at
tached to the midnight freight, which
did not get in till 2 o'clock.
When the marchers from this city
reached Coal Valley line of mounted
men and torch bearers was awaiting
them, and the vocal demonstration as
the Rock Island line drew up was
something terrific. Headed by Bleuer's
band, and accompanied by the drum
corps, the column Paraded the prin-
cipal streets, greeted everywhere by
enthusiastic cheers from the crowds
assem- bled. All the business houses
and many of the residences were
Illuminated for the occasion and there
was profusion of brilliant fireworks,
punctuated by giant irecrackers.
Town Hall Packed.
When the march ended at the town
hall the spacious building, floor and
gallery, was packed with humanity
anxious to hear the issues discussed
by the several speakers.
L. L. Lees, chairman of the county
committee, was master of ceremonies,
and the program opened with an
original poem recited by A. V. Stan
ley. Then Fred c. Nave, of Daven-
port, was introduced and in a master
full address of three-quarters of an
hour duration exposed the many and
glaring inconsistencies of the McKin-
lev administration and the fallacies
of the arguments advanced in it's sup
port.
When he had done, George W. Scott,
also of Davenport, spoke about five
devoting his limited time to
a commentator of the candidates of
the democratic party. He then, with
q number of members of the marching
club, left to catch the 10 o'clock ira
to this city.
S. r. Kenworthy, who spoke early in
the evening at South Moline, drove
across to Coal Valley, arriving in time
to deliver the closing address. His
talk was convincing on the issues pre-
sented and demonstrated to the peo-
pie of the Valley his eminent fitness
for the Office for which he is a candi-
date.
Political Points.
Hon. Clarence S. barrow, of Chi
cago, and Hon. Jonas W. Olson, of
Galva, will speak at Turner hall, Mo-
line, tonight.
Port Byron democrats have aband-
oned the rally planned for tomorrow
night, owing to their inability to Sc
cure hall accommodations.
