DE wINDT LECTURE IS

The lecture of Harry De Windt at

has not been the subject of popular
gossip and interest to the degree en-
joyed by the successful hansen or the

neither of these eminent men of sci
ence was able to do-he carried his
Arctic trip through to a finish on the
lines along which it was projected
by him, brought back complete rec
ord of it, and is here to tell about it,
He succeeded 1t is no small thing to
pass on foot from Faris to New York,
but Mr.. De Windt did ii, and tomor-
row evening. under the auspices of
the Tri-City Press club, he will be in
Davenport to tell about it. The ster-
eopticon emphasizes his story in the
most interesting manner. The pict-
ures that will be shown with its aid
are even. remarkable; they are GER
tainly unique and of the greatest JIM
terest. The whole entertainment will
be one of the best things in the line
of the illustrated lecture that has
ever been seen and heard here.

DURING SWEDISH QUINTET
TO APPEAR AT AUGUsTANA

During's Swedish Ladies' quintet,
which is making it's first American
tour, has been secured for an engage
ment at Augustana college the even
ing of March 2. Organized and train
ed by Edw. During, noted musician
of Stockholm, this quintet has, for
the past 10 years, been considered by
the best critics to be as near absolute
perfection as can be attained. Es-
pecial stress is laid upon the high
quality of voices, the fine training
and precision of their singing, the
elegant execution and well-studied en-
semble and the surprising skill of
their unaccompanied renditions.
As one critic says: I'm these song
productions there lies, what is gem
orally rare, a pure, artistic intui-
ton and an especially wonderful dis
cipline as background, and they
work in an artistic unity which is
fiawless and brilliant" Another critic
calls them IAN art quintet which aims
at beauty of tone, richness of sound
and delicacy of shading" Another
says ''They would be an ornament to
any prominent philharmonic concert
Such praise is very rare and shows
better than anything the artistic
standing of the quintet.
The ladies are personally of fine
appearance, which is enhanced by
their picturesque national costumes.
They sing in English, Swedish and
German.

1mmen.e Tobaoco Purchase.

Forty-eight thousand dollars paid
for fancy lot of tobacco. The big
gest purchase of high grade tobacco
ever made in this section of the coun-
try by cigar manufacturer, was
made last Wednesday by Frank p.
Lewis for his celebrated Single Binder
cigar. A written guarantee was given
that the entire amount was to be
fancy selected tobacco. This no doubt,
makes the Lewis factory the largest
holder in the United States of tobac-
co of so high grading.-Peoria Jour

And still the God-like work of
healing the sick-snatchng from
the very brink of the grave, as it
were, those who had been given up
as incurable by all other means-gOes
bravely On. Day after day scores of
our most prominent and cultured cit
liens may be seen entering and leav-
ing the parlors of the Boy Phenome-
non at the Harper house, thus show
ing by their presence that vital mag
netism, such as is possessed by him,
has secured a firm hold on the more
intelligent of our population.
y person who can WELD such an in
fiuence in community so intellectual
as Rock Island is certainly no ordin-
airy man. He stands like tower
above and over all other healing agen-
cies. Wonderfully gifted by nature
and possessing the greatest magnetic
powers ever bestowed upon a human
Icing, he is having an unbroken sue
ccssion of the most stupendous
achievements ever accorded medical
man.
BY this marvellous power and gift
of healing, with which so few men
are endowed, he cures the deaf. blind,
lame, diseases of the head, throat.
lung, liver. kidneys and nervous sys-
TEN, vitalizes and drives all impuri-
ties from the blood. He is especially
successful l. in all forms of nervous
prostration and nervous debility,
rheumatism, paralysis, epilepsy, drop
sy, diabetes, Brights disease, tumors
and cancers-even of the stomach and
womb-surpassing everything ever at
tempted or conceived of in the heal
ing art. - -.a4.
Nobody can form any opinion of
his wonderful cures unless they actu-
ally witness them. Hundreds of pea7
pie who have been bedridden for
months and years, and others who
have not taken a step without crutch-
es, suffering with rheumatism, paral-
ysis and other diseases, have been
and are daily being cured by him and
restored to Perfect health.
These are facts and can be easily
verified. Let no one despair of being
cured until after they have seen and
been treated by him. There is not a
day passes but what some remarka BILE
and almost incredible cure is Witness
ed in his Office, where the sick, Grip
pied and deformed are daily assem-
bled in large numbers. Why, it was
only Saturday that Mrs. Walter How
ard, one of the oldest residents, was
carried into his parlors. having been
IS months unable to walk from rheu-
matism and female weakness. The
! first treatment of only few minutes
so far restored her that she dismissed
/ her carriage and walked seven blocks
! to her home.
Such cases as these are daily oc-
currence, but are never made public
unless especially requested by some
grateful patient who desires that 9th
ers may learn of their cure and like
wise be made well.
! Owing to the many remarkable
cures performed since his arrival here
and the large number of afflicted who
were unable to get treatment the past
two weeks, the Boy Phenomenon has
! consented to extend his stay in Rock
Island several weeks longer. There

have another opportunity. but must
call at once as no new cases will be

EIGHT MEN TO BAT
J. T. Hayes Has Novel Idea as
to New Ball
Rules.
PITCHER NOT. TO DO HITTING
The Davenport Manager Thinks it
aWaste of
Time.

Manager James T. Hayes, of the
Davenport club of the Three-Eye
league, advocates a radical change in
the rules which he thinks would i'm
prove the game much better than
would the abslishing of the foul
strike rule. Discussing the changes
of rules that might be made by the
joint rules committee at its coming
meeting, Manager Hayes has this to
say:
Il don't believe the joint rules COM
mlttee could do better than to pro-
vide that eight men do all the bat
ting. Substituting Il batter or a rum
ner for pitcher is often resorted to
IN order to make the game easier for
him. Why not quit depending upon
the twirler for batting altogether?
lie is hardly ever expected to do any
hitting. His batting record cuts little
figure when he is signed. 1t is his
speed and curves that count. He isn't
expected to bat and fans out a ma
Jority of the times that he comes up
to the plate. On the bases he is usu-
ally dead one Nothing makes a
game so much as plenty of hitting
and gIngery base-running. The pitch
er contributes neither, as rule. In
close game, if he gets on the bases,
the fansR gre glad to see him put out
to give hrn a rest. Stealing second or
third are feats not expected of him,
Let him do nothing but pitch. and
you will have introduced a novelty
and feature that will take with the
crowd right along.
Would Keep Foul strike
Then keep the foul hit rule. 1t
has shortened the game, not too
much, but by taking out the tedious
delays that resulted from so much
touling of the ball as was chargeable
to some batters under the old rule.
While the players fell down in their
batting averages after it was adopt
ed, it was noticeable the past season
that they picked up quite a little.
Ihat meant gain in scientific bat
ting. They know now that they have
got to hit the ball where it will count.
and it is that kind of batting that
brings the crowd to its feet.
Il see that it is being suggested
that the error column might be done
away with. Those who favor it argue
'hdt SOihS pld CTS VIII go dIIef DdllS
If errors are not counted that they
leave alone now for fear of making
errors. The public won't stand for it.
however. The first question about a
game is the score and the next is the
hits and errors. The fans can figure
out how game was lost or won from
those three columns, and they won't
want to see the error column wiped
out.
THE Three-Eye league is getting
bouquets from all over the country
for leading the way with its declara-
ton against the high pitchers box.
The high box was great schemA for
giving the home pitcher an adyan-
tage over the visiting twirler, but it
should not be allowed, and will not be
in this league. Some uniform rule
making it impossible should be adopt
ed"

1.-THE StrolIers" Draws a Big
House at illinois
Saturday.
MISS SYLVIA PLEASING AS EVER
Willard Simms Gives Funny Per-
Torrance Of "Pickings
From Puck

Time does not appear to have
dealt lightly with The Strollers,''
the musical comedy presented at the
Illinois Saturday evening by com
pany headed by that charming act
ress and singer, Marguerite Sylvia.
Age improves some plays, but it seems
in the case of latter day musical com
edies the second seasons presenta-
ton invariably proves disappoint-
ment to those who have witnessed
the original production. 1t will be
remembered that when The Stroll
ers" was seen in Rock Island year
ago it was unanimously pronounced
the best thing of the season in its
line, having a large company with
people far above the average seen in
road organizations in the principal
roles. The chorus was feature also,
the whole performance going with Il
dash that was truly enchanting. But
remove Miss Sylvia from the company
that appeared here Saturday and it
would be difficult to imagine the
quality of the performance. Her
personality perva1es the whole enter
tainment. While the staging was hand
some, there was lacking in the en-
embles. on which musical comedies
so much depend, that gingery move
ment that contributed largely to-
ward making success Of the first
year production. The chorus mem
bers, while possessing average sing
ing voices, were utterly devoid of life,
and on entering the stage acted as if
they were going to work. George C..
Boniface. IT., as the chief support to
Miss Sylvia, showed himself very
funny fellow, while ID. l.. Don amused
with his pipy voice and apparently
homeless pedals. Neil Mcneil has the
part formerly taken by Eddie Foy,
and makes much of it. The audience
was large one and was generous
with applause.
SImms a Whole Show
The audience at the Illinois last
night certainly got its moneys
worth "Pickings from Puck" was
the bill and Willard Simms and Kath-
arine Linyand the principal enter
tainers Simms, who is one of those
comedians of whom one seems to
never tire, started the hilarity early
in the first act and kept up rapid
fire of fun-making until the end of
the performance. 1t was about the
liveliest show that has been on the
local boards this season. The encores
were so numerous that il was after II
o'clock when the audience was dis
missed.
Howard Kyle Tonight,
Laughter and Lies Mr.. Kyle's la
test success, also deals with ''ye early
troubles" and while its purpose is
not given any historical Significance,
it is reported upon good authority
that the author has exhibited decided
originality and ingenuity and that the
scenes and incidents are permeated
with that certain quality of whole
some humor which tends greatly to-
wards eulivening really melodra-
matte offering. MIR. Kyle comes to the
Illinois tonight.
