"Brown,s In Town.

One of the best titles ever given to
farce comedy is Browns in To wn, u
which will be the attraction at Har-
per's theatre Thursday evening.
There is something amusing in the
very suggestion as to why this nu-
merous gentleman is in the city. 1t
is said that this particular Brown has
enough embarrassing experiences to
shake up an audience thoroughly.
The amusing situations of the farce
are said to never pail on any one, and
those who have seen it pronounce it
the most original of all of them.
The conventional mother-in-law. the
stereotyped old maid, the visiting
aunt with mother-iu-law instincts,
and the time-worn German and Irish
servants have been dispensed with.
The story of Browns in Town" is
told by young players, which is a
novel feature in itself. and in farce
cannot help to be entertaining when
illustrated by such clever collection
of comedians as seen in this one.
The management is confident that
browns in Town" will not be COM
pared to any of the latter day farces,
as the story is an entirely new and
original one. Several musical num-
bers are introduced and are said to
fit in admirably.

MORE COMPLICATIONS
ARISE FROM HllGER CASE

Two additional cases have devel-
oped from the murder of William Hill
ger, the Hooppole young man, by his
wife, Mrs. Josephine Hilger, the for
mer Whiteside county school teacher.
One is Frederick Hilger, father of
the murdered man, VS.. the Modern
Woodmen. The son borrowed about
Sc 600 from his father, and, it is
claimed by the father, insured his
life in the Woodmen for IS 900 in his
fathers name as a protection. After
his marriage, it is said. at the solicit
tation of his wife, he changed it to
her name, but the application for the
change never got any farther than
the hands of the clerk of the local
camp. The father now brings suit to
secure the $4,000.
In another case of Frederick Hilger
VS.. Josephine Hilger. the plaintiff
sets forth that he sold lot in Hoop
pole to his son for 5000 and that the
lot was not paid for, and he seeks now
to recover it.
Mrs. Hilger's case may be put owe
to later term of court, as there is
volume of business on hand to keep
the court busy into April. Judge
Gest opened the February term last
week at Cambridge and trial list
will be taken up today. On the
docket are Is criminal cases, So COM
mon law cases and 102 chancery cases.

FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS
OF TRICKY ROUTE HERE

The further improvements in the
Davenport, Rock Island & Northwest
ern property in Rock Island, promised
by General Manager Z. E. Hughes al
the business mems luncheon at the
Rock Island Club Saturday, are to in
clude the enlargement of the COM
pany's freight house on the river
front. and the veneering of the entire
building with brick, and the probable
location of the building short dis
lance west of its present location.
This would remove it from the passen-
ger station and thus permit that r city
structure to stand out by itself, and
at the same time take away the OBJ
struction to the river view at West
Seventeenth street, of which many
business men have complained.
1--WE are anxious to do everything
in our power to meet the public re
quirements and the public wishes, "
said General Passenger Agent Berry.
Saturday night. 1--WE are more than
pleased, i can assure you, with all that
has happened in connection with our
first day in our new depot. Business
has been much better than we ex-
pected, and the great mum bers of peo-
pie that have come down to look over
the station has gratitied us highly.
We shall always do all that we can to
merit the good will of the people of

Free for Ladies Only.

DIR. Cristion, late of the Paris
schools, the lecturer on the grace,
beauty, form and physical culture of
women. gives lecture that is well
worth the time of the most refined
woman to attend. He captivates his
audiences wherever he appears. He
is the only man in America who has
the scientific knowledge necessary TO
instruct women in the line along
which his lectures run, and who
knows the secret of womanly health,
beauty and grace taught by the
famous Partisan schools of beauty.
1t is every woman's duty to
be as beautiful as possible,
and it is every woman's right
and privilege to be really beautiful
after hearing and needing the lecture
given by this benefactor of woman
kind. Women who have heard him
and who have needed his advice, rise
up and call him blessed whenever
they view their own changed appear
ance in the mirror that had been used
to telling them such uncomplimentary
things of themselves. Ladies who
value their personal appearance should
not miss DR.. II. B. F. Cristion's lee
ture, as we believe his mission to
women in the capacity in which he
comes is an undiguised, unquestion-
able blessing. He will lecture, to
ladies only, next Thursday and

theatre. Thursday free, Friday %

Danger of Colds and La Grippe.

The greatest danger from colds and

monia. If reasonable care is used,
however, and Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy taken, all danger win be
avoided. Among the tens of thous-
ands who have used this remedy for
diseases we've yet to learn of a single
case having resulted in pneumonia,
which shows conclusively that it is q
certain preventive of. that dangerous
malady. 1t will cure cold or an at
tack of la grippe in less time than any
ether treatment. 1t is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by all drug

An Evening of Good Music at Harper's
Theatre.
A large. and appreciative audience
was present at the concert given by
the Northwestern Glee, Mandolin
and Banjo clubs at Harper's theatre
Saturday evening. under the auspices
of the senior class of the Rock Island
High school. The program was very
well rendered and every number en-
cored. One of the principal features
of the evening was the singing
by Mr.. Stacey, while Mr.. Dennis
proved himself to be splendid
orator. The talented violinist of the
club. Mr.. Logan, was fine. The young
musician who presided at the piano,
Paul Schlorff, performed his part
well. The numbers of the glee club
were nicely sung and highly enjoyed
by the music lovers of the audience.

league, and let some other town take
try at it.
The club held a meeting at the
office of Vice President M. E. Ochs
Saturday afternoon. With the officers
of the local club President Sexton, of
the Three-I league, was present. 1t
