TOPICS OF THE THEATRE.

The sparkling 3-act comedy, .At
the White Horse Tavern" translated
from the German by Sidney Rosen-
field, was presented by the King &
Norcross company at Harper's thea
tire Saturday evening to an audience
which in character made up for its de-
ficiency in numbers. The play was
nicely staged, the scenic effects and
accessories being effective and real
istic, particularly so as to the rain
storm at the close of the first act
The company was fair, John Fenton's
Walter Hinzelmann, Phi. D., the tour
ist and tutor, being pan ticularly
strong. Minerva Dorr as Josepha,
the hostess of the White Horse Tavern,
was equal to the part, and Frank M.
Norcross as Leopold, was probably all
that could be desired. Fred Mower
played the leading comedy character
of William Giesecke with spirit
and energy that pleased the
audience. Richard Cochrane as
Frederic Siedler. The attorney, was
plainly out of his class. The re-
mainder of the cast was hardly above
the average. The play is. however,
in it's second season and under such
circumstances, too much cannot be
expected. But Rock Island is getting
in condition to secure attractions of
this order on their first year out
which will insure the best castles that
can be given them.
The Holden Comedy company
opened weeks engagement at Har-
per's theatre last night.
II is said that Charles B. Hanford
has chosen a very excellent medium
for the display of his rare histrionic
powers. in Lee Arthur's Private
John Allen," which comes to the Wag-
ner opera house, Moline, next Thurs
day. 1t is play which is refresh
ingly sincere, hearty and manly
throughout. The noble unselfishness
of "Private John .Allen' and his spirit
of self-sacriicing devotion is of the
kind too rarely seen not to be appre-
ciated. Mr.. Hanford acts his role
in the thoroughly artist ic and finished
manner which he has always exhibited
and which shows that he has gone
through that greatest of all trainings,
the classic school. He seems pre-
cisely fitted to act q character like
s'Private John Allen" His clean cut
contour of visage, his clear incisive
voice and his general manliness of
bearing all unite to make up strik-
ing and noble figure. Some of the
Bryan enthusiasts affirm that Mr..
Hanford makes up to resem BILE Bryan,
while others say that he looks like
Mckinley, which is given as sample
of individual views. 1t is not be-
lieved that Mr.. Hanford copied after
either statesman, though he undoubt-
edly followed out very closely the
characteristics of the type known as
statesman-like.

The meeting of subscribers to the
new theatre proposition was held at
the Rock Island Club Saturday even
ing and steps taken toward closing
up the canvass which is now nearing
an end. From the reports made by
j. b. Arthurs, who has charge Of the
work for George H. Johnston. there
appears to be no question but that
the sentiment of the people generally
is in favor of the project. Most of
those approached have been willing
to do their share toward providing
the city with modern playhouse; the
only difficulty met has been in secur-
ing committees to accompany Mr..
Arthurs in his canvass.
-
A strong sentiment prevailed at the
meeting that measures should be
taken to close up the remainder of
the subscription at once and to that

A powerful engine cannot be run
with a weak boiler, and we can't keep
up the strain of an active life with a
weak stomach; neither can we stop
the human machine to make repairs.
If the stomach cannot digest enough
food to keep the body strong, such a
preparation as Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
should be used. It digests what you
eat and it simply can't help but do
you good. B. II. Bieber and Hartz &

The Influence OF the Press

is highly valued by advertisers, and a
newspaper that is believed to possess
influence can therefore often get a
higher advertising rate than one with
out influence and standing, even
though the actnal circulation of the
latter may be greater. A reader is
unconsciously affected 10 reading an
advertisement by his regard for the
paper in which he reads it, and his
&C ion is to some extent regulated ac-
cordingly. The influence of news
paper through its advertisements is a
great and powerful factor. Advertise
ments are news and impart CONNER
cial information, which is often the
me st important kind. No paper could
be real news paper without advertis-
ug, even leaving out Of consideration

Question Answered,

Yes August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or
Biliousness. Doctors were scarce
and they seldom heard of Appendici-
tbs, Nervous Prostitution, Heart Fail
ure, etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermen-
tation of undigested food, regulate the
action of the liver, stimulate the ner-
vous and organic action of the sys-
TEN, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower,
