writing on wooo.

Some persons are of the opinion that
the first writing was upon thin pieces
of wood. From their convenience this
seems probable. Such boards were used
at an early period by the Greeks and
Romans, and were frequently covered
with wax, which was of course more
easily written upon than the bare
wood. Where wax was used errors were
readily erased by rubbing with the
blunt end of the piece of metal which
served for pen. To make the writing
more visible it appears that some black
substance was smeared over the sur
face of the white wax and remained in
the scratched marks.

ONE OF HILLS MEN MAY
DIRECT BURLINGTON ROAD

railroad circles are somewhat eXer-
cised by report that John i. Stew
ems, until last Thursday general man
ager and chief engineer of the Great
Northern road, is to succeed George
b. Harris as president of the Chicago,
Burlington d Quincy railroad.
The report came from St. Paul, and
followed the sudden resignation of
Mr.. Stevens. The rumor. however. is
not given credence among railroad
men. While all agree that Mr.. Stew
ems is brilliant and able man along
the lines for railroad engineering and
construction, it is not believed he is
thoroughly fitted to succeed to the
presidency of such a great property
as the burlington system, where Il
man schooled in financial, operative
and executive problems is a necessity.
The mastery manner in which Mr..
Harris has conducted the affairs of
the Burlington and his proved ability
for the place, is generally believed,
makes his removal far from Il proba-
bility.
1t was limited. however. that Mr..
Stevens would probably go to the
Erie. as that company had recently
decided to issue bonds for $4,000. 600
to be used to rehabilitate that sys-
TEN. His well-known ability as an
engineer would enable Mr.. Stevens to
shine in an official position with the
Erie. especially during the reconstruc-
ton period.
James j. Hill returned to St. Paul
from New York Saturday and refused

resignation from the Great Northern
or the rumor that he was to succeed
Mr.. Harris as president of the Bur
lington.
I'm Boston. the financial stronghold
of Burlington securities, nothing had
been heard of the rumored changes,
and no credence was given the report.
Mr.. Harris himself has said that he
knew absolutely nothing of such a
proposed change.

TALES OF THEATRE

Caste Robertsons old comedy
was presented at the Illinois last eve
ming by a competent company. How
ever, the performance was poorly pat
ronized, due in great measure.
doubtless, to the cold weather.
THE Bandit King" one of the
strongest melodramas ever presented
in this country, comes to the Illinois
tonight. James II. Wallick, who for
merly appeared in the title role, is
still the manager of the attraction,
but is not acting this season. owing
to the many duties on his hands in
connection with his several road at
fractions. The title role in the pres
ent revival is in the hands of John j..
Farrell, competent. young romantic
actor. who has won for himself fine
reputation as an exponent of the
western hero. Particular attention
will be paid to the staging of the play
and everything in the way of scenery
and appropriate costumes, and the
properties being new and from the
studios of the best artists in this
country. \ pleasing feature and one
that will interest all ages and sexes
will be the introduction of Mr.. Wal
lick's eight trained horses, that are
important factors in the working out
of the plot of the play.
Gideon's big minstrels, which comes
to the Illinois tomorrow evening, is
recognized as one of the biggest min
strel organizations of its kind on the
roads and carries many new and no.
vel features and sensational acts. 1t
has reached the high water mark of
perfection and is so rich and varied in
vaudeville, minstrel, comedy and 9TH
err interesting features, that it is a
stimulating source of unceasing
nlirth. The comedians bring budget
of new jokes, rag-time oddities and all
the latest ballads are heard.
You often hear the remark that
farce comedy is on the wane, but

to the career in the tri-cities of Mr..

regard Mrs. Wade and her husband
as well-meaning and unfortunate. Mr..
