PLEASED WITH WORKING
OF THE NEW GAME LAW

A. j. Loyeioy, state game commits
sioner of Illinois. states that the new
game law is being better enforced
than ever, and that people are taking
more interest in the protection of
game for the state.
In an interview Mr.. Loveioy said:
THE new game law is working very
nicely. Many prosecutions are being
made throughout the state ON viola
tors of the law. and licenses for hunt
ing are being taken out in large num-
bers, Cook county sending over. a
thousand dollars worth of hunting
licenses down to Springfield the first
of September. These licenses cost 81
each.
1.-The state is divided into 10 dis
tricts with warden for each dis
trict. There are also 1O2 deputy war
dens. so the head of the commission
at Chicago keeps in touch with the
work all over the state.
people will violate the laws in
spite of everything and then go away
and laugh about it. Our game war
dens catch large number of me-
out with Il dog and gun without even
a hunters license. They pretend they
are training the dog or killing a few
rabbits, but they don't let any prairie
chickens fly up without taking a shot
at them"

Extension of the Rock Island city

considerable attention just now

The city would be glad to take to
its bosom any portion of the pretty

comedian, Thomas j. Smith, in The
Game Keeper" at the Illinois next
Wednesday, THE Game Keeper" has
a strong plot. full of dramatic situ-
ations, and although having largely
for its theme the unreasonable laws
of Ireland, it is no way sensational. 1t
does net bore the audience with
scenes that are unreal. On the con-
trary every art known to stage real
ism has been utilized to make the eff
feet as natural and picturesque as
possible. The play pictures Ireland
and its people in a true and faithful
manner. The company that will in
terpret the different characters in the
play is strong enc.
Lincoln j. Carter's ever popular
melodrama, THE New Fast Mall will
be seen here tomorrow evening. This
truly great piece OF stage property
has outlived many that have been out
and are now re tired on the shelf for
many years, being in its 18th success
sive successful season and if the APP
plause and enthusiasm it has received
so far this season is any criterion to
go by, the play will be seen for many
years to come. There is hardly a
drama on the road today that has
traversed the miles and miles of this
country with unparalleled success as
this old veteran of the popular melo-
drama which was the first to intro
duce the stage effects, modern de-
vices and stage realism that are so
much used today. In fact, this piece
has the reputation among all theatri-
cal people as being the leader and the
first to produce the realistic and
truthful portrayal of life on the stage.
In fact. 'The Fast Mali was about
90 years ahead of its time, and al
though many have come and gone
since it's first season the fact remains
as the best proof of its success in this
direction by its presence before the
footlights today.
