saved up till the end of the term.

whatever has been heard from the
assistant county. treas
urer since his departure. Cards bear
ing Il description of him and announc-
ing the reward that will be paid for

The dancing party at the Harper
house last evening, at which Mr.. and

tumn leaves, palms. carnations. smi-

bordering on opera, extravaganza and

RAILWAY NEWS.

Through train service to California
via its new FL Paso route will be in
augurated by the Rock Island road
Nov. >. The new train, to ne known
as the Golden State limited" will on
and after that date leave Chicago
daily at 7:45 p. m. and arrive at Los
Angeles at loo p. IN. the third day
Thereafter ana at San Francisco at
$3.50 ON the morning of the fourth
day. This makes the actual running
time, allowing for the difference in
time, 6S hours to Los Angeles and "a
hours to Santa Barbara. An entirely
new outfit of equipment has been
built for this service by the Pullman
company at a cost of about 100000.
No day or tourist coaches will be car
ricd ON this train; it will be compos-
ed entirely of sleeping. dining, library
and observation cars of the latest
patterns. The new train, il is said,
will ne finer than the Lake Shore and
Pennsylvania limited and 2O-hour
trains, the ears being supplied with
the most modern appliances and fine
~ furnished. The route of the Cold
en- State limited" between Los Ange-
les and San Francisco will he over
the Southern Pacific's coast line.
Inauguration of through passenger
service by the Milwaukee d St. Paul
will necessitate a large increase in
the sleeping car equipment of this
company. The Milwaukee d St. Paul
and the Great Northern are the only
large railroad systems in this coun-
try that have sleeping car lines of
their own and operate them indie
pendently of the Pullman company.
1t is said to be the intention of the
Milwaukee d St. Paul to invest about
$1.00O.O0O i'm new sleeping cars, to be
used in its Pacific coast service.
According to dispatch from
Omaha the Rock Island and the Hi
nois Central railroads will shortly
form traffic agreement with the
Union Pacific whereby the Hartman
line will handle the traffic of the for
mer two roads beyond their western
terminus.

John Cook and Conductor c. Ill. John
son, was coming east at the usual
rate of speed. When the brakes were
applied to slow down for the switch
that is just west of the corner the
chain broke and although the cur
rent had been turned off the momen-
tum of the car carried it rapidly on
TO the curve where the two tracks
merge into one.
Car Hits Curb
At the switch the car left the rails
and ran for some distance on the
pavement, stopping against the curb
ing and Il pole just before reaching
the corner
W hen the car left the rails the con-
ductor. who was standing on the rear
platform, was thrown to the pave
ment. striking on his back The mo-

Like the spring water of the Adiron-

bubbles and sparkles without pause

every line and incident that the spec
tator has no time or inclination to
seek for amusement among the stale
jokes of the program, and there are
none of those flutterings of leaves so
common in the audiences nowadays.
The play is loaded with good sayings

TALES OF THEATRE.

ciety play, by Clyde Fitch, with Miss
Elsie de Wolfe as star, will be seen at
the Illinois theatre tomorrow evening
The piece has enjoyed run of over
200 nights in New York City last sea
son. 1t was also received with much
favor in Boston and Philadelphia
Mr.. Fitch is known as brilliant sat
irist, and master of dramatic tech
nique. The announcement that play
from his pen is to be seen, has I'M
usual interest, therefore, as it is
bound to contain unhackneyed situa-
tions and climaXes sufficiently unex-
pectcd to- please the taste of the ha-
bitual theatre-goer. The plot of "The
Way of the World has to do with
the domestic misunderstanding of Mr..
and Mrs. Croydon, a young couple in
New Nork's smart set. Gearge Croy-
den, an absorbed politician, neglects
his young and pretty wife, who is led
into a silly Irritation with an un-
scrupulous man in her own set. \
scandal is incurred. and only through
the efforts OF Mrs. Lake, a friend of
Mrs. Croydon and young society
Divorce, are the affairs of the Croy-
dens finally Strengthened out and
peace restored in the household. \
pretty side theme is the reconcillia-
ton of Mrs. Lake and her husband,
whom she has always loved. The
gowns in the play are said to be UNI
usually fine, the stage settings are
exactly as seen during the long run
of the play in New York, and the
cast is of unusual excellence and is
headed by John Mason. the we'll
known actor. Others in Miss de
