Rate Trouble Brewing.

A suspicion has found Judgment in the
 minds of officials of Pennsylvania, Wa bash and New York Central companies that the newly organized Hamilton &
 Dayton-Pere Marquette combination in- tends In the near future to raise the black flag and take the position of rate dis turber. If such policy should be carried out the rate situation in the middle west will be seriously demoralized With this combination in Ohio, Michigan and Indi- ana and the Stickney-Connor Great Vest ern system In Illinois. Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota there would be slight hope of rate harmony between the western Pennsylvania state line and Omaha for a good while to come. It may eventually become necessary for the greater railroad systems to pay the price the rate dis turbers demand. MT stickney had a chance to sell his road out at big figure about year ago. but he held out for a higher price and lost his market. Ht has very stubborn proposition, how.

Why Girls Leave Home.

''Why Girls Leave Home" which is
said to have many features that other
productions of melodrama have not.
notably, not revolver from one end of
the book TO the other, will be presented
at the Illinois theatre at an early date
Mr.. Summerfield, the author, is said to
be congratulated in going beyond the
beaten paths and fashioning a melo-
drama that was one of the few success
ses of last season. The drama points
moral which could be drawn in num-
erous instances in modern life 1t is
story of evil associations and a longing
for gay life. yet it has a heroine with
innocent intentions. Harshness be-
tween brother and sister at home gives
the girl excuse for continuing ON the
seemingly hayward career she has cho-
sen, and many exciting bits of expert
ences make the path extremely fasci-
mating.

Tells a Simple Story.

A play with a wholesome moral at
mosphere is always a welcome attrac-
ton To the average theatregoer, whose
better instincts rebel against the puri-
ent productions that only too frequent
ly degrade the modern stage. Manager
Garland Gaden's latest venture, Wife
in Name Only" that will make its first
appearance in this city Sunday even
ing. is a play that is above the aver
age in moral tone and spiritual beauty,
as its name would seem TO imply. Ii is
a sweet and simple story of human ma
ture, with its conflicting emotions. pas.
sions and ambitions. Notwithstanding
the placidity of the earlier scenes laid
in the country, the drama on the whole
abounds in blood-stirring climaxes that
thrill the brain and the heart From
curtain to curtain incidents follow each
other in such rapid succession that the
audience never tires.

Plot Involved in Mystery.

There is an element of mystery sur
rounding the plot of Common Sense
Bracket" the new American drama
Of rural life by Charles w. Doty. in
which Henry w. Savage will offer
Richard Golden as star, at the Illinois
tomorrow IL is claimed that the play
is intensely dramatic in it's serious mo-
ments and immensely humorous in
the lighter passages. Three distinct
love interests are known to run
through the action, and the several
types and scenes absolutely new to the
theatre will be presented, at the open
ing performance. The scene of Com
mon Sense Bracket is laid in Win
throp, Me, and the story is woven
around the doings of Bruce Bracket,
village philanthropist, the role to be en-
acted by Mr.. Golden himself. There
are hints of adopted daughters, clipping
wives. generous brothers and villain
Gus neighbors. but the utmost secrecy
reigns regarding the principal mo-
tives of the play. Richard Golden has
long been regarded as one of the lead
ing American comedians. and il is
claimed that in Common Sense Brack-
ett," he has. at last. found the long
sought for successor To- "Old Jed Prou-
ty." Henry w. Savage is evidently of
the same mind. for he has provided the
quaint New England character define
ator with every requisite in the matter
of cast. production theatres. Seldom
has a company of such capability sur
rounded one star. and the production
in the home of Savage's triumphs.
should also be an omen of success. The
action of the play is laid in Winthrop,
Me. authorizing ample opportunity for
local color. and it is claimed that the
scenic artist and stage manager have
carefully refrained from any semblance
of exaggeration. The play will be ade-
auately mounted and most faithfully
delineated in acting and environment.

The repair crews at the Kahlke boat

their winter work on local craft, and
the boat yards are now engaged in
overhauling seven steamers and as
many barges and launches. The boats
now on the ways are Helen Blair. A. J.

No repairs Of Importance are to- be
made on any of the steamers. though
all will be given a thorough overhaul
ing and prepared for the spring sea
son. The Helen Blair has just closed
a most successful season in the service
of the Carnival Packet company. She
is in good condition. though it will be
necessary TO supply new fiues before
the steamer again enters on her traffic
business. Other minor repairs will be
made and the steamer put in first class
shape for next summer. when she will
again be put in service between Rock
Island and Burlington.
Davenport ON Ways
The steamer Davenport. which was
put IN commission with the ferry T. J.
Robinson some months ago By the
Rock Island & Davenport Ferry com
pany. requires but little attention at
present. but will be oyerhauled and
some slight changes made. The own
ers state that the Davenport will be
put in service again with the Robinson
next spring. Tie steamer was not
ready for service until very late in the
season. and did not do as well as the
owners had expected. The Robinson

tween Rock Island and Davenport for
several weeks. as the Davenport was

in a country town, where everybody
