success as Bessie in ~ Texas Steer"
Then followed a year with the stock
company at the Grand opera house,

MOLINE MENTION

Another highway holdup man ran
up against the wrong proposition
Thursday night when he attempted
to hold up J. f. Hiersemann and II. S.
Gustafson, of this city about miles
this side of Buffalo, Iowa. They were
returning from a funeral to which
they had driven with a pallbearers
buggy and carriage belonging TO q.
Il. Hiersemann's livery establishment
in this city At point in the lone
ly part of the road where Gustafson
was ahead, two men suddenly jumped
out into the middle of the road and
commanded halt. Gustafson obeyed
but Hiersemann, who was a few feet
i'm the rear, called TO him to not mind
the guns and to drive ahead. With
this Hiersemann drove his horses
aside and directly into the would-be
robbers, which action had the desired
effect, scattering them and giving
both teams a chance to get away.

The prettiest, jolliest and withal
most charming production of the sea
son was 1.-The Prince of Pilsen,'' given
last evening at the Illinois by Henry
w. Savage's splendid aggregation of
comedians and singers. The staging
was on q scale of magnificence' rarely
to. be witnessed outside the larger
cities. John Ransome, as the Cincin-
natl brewer, mistaken for prince
while sojourning abroad; Dorothy
Morton, as the dashing New York
widow; Arthur Donaldson, as the.real
prince of Pilsen, and Sherman Wade, the
French inn attendant. carried off the
individual honors. Ransome is IL host
in himself, and was several times re
quired to repeat his speech delivered
to his constituents in the Tenth ward
in Cincinnati The theatre was sold
.out and hundreds stood up. 1t was
perhaps the largest audience ever
held by the Illinois, proving that it is
only necessary to furnish the right
kind of attraction to get the people.
In Just Struck Town. which comes
to the Illinois Sunday, the manage
ment offers one of the best things
seen at the theatre this season. The
story is by no means new one, but
it is told in way that is pleasing.
No apparent effort is made to bring
it out, yet out it comes in manner
that is a relief from tine unusual cut
and dried methods so common to
stories of this kind. The principal
character is tramp, and is played by
Harry Todd. and he does it we'll.
There is not the usual eXaggeration in
his work. He is more nearly like the
real article than is generally seen on
the stage Adelaide Walters is a
charming little woman who ingratiates
herself with the audience from the
start. There is no use in giving indi-
vidual mention of the rest of the
east; they are all above the average
playing at popular priced houses, and
are fully able to take care of the
parts assigned them.

Dodds, the man who bore the title of
Deadwood Dick in the days when
Fort Meade was first an Indian post.
His many daring escapades about
that time made him character we'll
known in that part of the country,
and the play presented by W..O. Ed
munds deals with two or three Incl
dents of his career. as related by him
to Mr.. Risley, the author, during a
tour of the hills in the fall of 1902.
The attack on the fort. the daring
fight on the precipice over Spearfish
Falls, are actual occurrences, the
introduction of Dicks love affair, and
the bank scene at Belle Fourches be-
ing born of the authors brain. The
play has nothing whatever to do with
the cheap novel of this name. but is a
well written and interesting story of
actualities. and a flesh and blood man.

markable personality and one of the
most pronounced stage beauties of
the present generation. She is sur
rounded by Il east that is beyond re
proach, containing as it does some of
the most illustrious names in the
realms of comedy. The whole pre-

guarantee of Messrs. Nixon q Tim

for nearly all the big effects in must

tai, he will have passed through or
touched % states, and will have trav-
eled in the neighborhood of $4,000
miles. The journey has stretched
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. and
has, besides, covered many degrees of
latitude between New Mexico. Arizo-
ma and southern California up TO the
northern part of the state of Wash
ington. While most of the tour has
been through the states and territor-
les west of the Mississippi, it has, or
will have, extended through many of
those east of the river also. No other
president has ever, on single stretch,
passed through anything like so many
states. Although the south has hard
ly been entered, the greater part of
the rest of the country, exclusive of
New England, has been traversed or
touched. or will be by the time the
tour ends few days hence.
