He Is Virtually n Pony, but a Re-
markRbly Sturdy One.
The Arab is virtually pony, stand
ing 14.2 hands, Oftener under than
over. He is not fast, even at the gal
lop; indeed, he Is slow. He is a very
poor trOtter both as regards speed and
action, bad hack, and cannot walk
without continually sticking his toe
in the ground. He is totally untitled
for harness and is uncomfortable to
ride, except at the gallOR; this is his
natural gait, and in 1t his movement is
free, smooth, delightful and easy. AS
regards his general makeup and an
atomical formation, he is perfect. and
his constitutional and physical sound
ness is wonderful He has great bone
substance, vigOr, resolution, strength.
staying powers, courage, holiness, So
briefly, the sOundest legs and feet and
extraordinary lung power, which is
due to the atmospheric conditions and
free life to which he has been used
from time immemorial; extraordinary
eyesight, good temper. mild manners.
tractability, instinct and sagacity, and
for his size IS Il wonderful weight car
rier.
II is this extraordinary constitution
and anatomical perfection. and this
magnificent courage, nerve and mettle
of the Arab which have made the thor
oughbred of today what he is. and not
his speed, which has only existed in
songs.
The Arab attaches far greater i'm
pOrtance to bottom, speed'and sobricty
than he does to what might he called
artistic beauty" OF such a horse he
will say: Let us not be in hurry.
Let us see him work. He might be
only a COW, with lions hide on his
back" When you consider what their
idea of bottom is, il may be sufficient
to know that IL means Il horse should
be able TO travel with 81 man on his
back, a change of clothing food for
rider and horse, his gun. flag. etc,

from 123 to $50 miles in the twenty
four hours. and this without food or

WOMAN is VICTIM
Mrs. John Mccall, of South Rock ISL
and, Found to Have Mature
Case of Smallpox.
HAS BEEN SICK SINCE SUNDAY
Nine Other Persons In same House
With PatIent-PIanninE TO care
for Her at Hospital.

South Rock Island has case OF
smallpox on it's hands. The patient IS
Mrs John Mccall, who has been alilng
since last Sunday. The attention OF
Supervisor Cornelius Donovan was
called yesterday afternoon. Two ply
sicians were called TO diagnose the all
ment and they pronounced it well de-
veloped case of smallpox.
Mrs Mccall lives in a large double
house south of the old abattoir, near
TO the river shore. There are three
families of 10 persons. seven grown
and three children, in the house. The
house was quarantined today on the
order of Supervisor Donovan.
May Remove Her to Hospital.
The city health department has been
conferred with with a view to having
Mrs Mccall removed to the smallpox
hospital in the southwest part of the
city, the township of South Rock Isl
and to bear the expense. This would
lessen the danger of the other Occu-
pants of the South Rock Island home
contracting the scourge, although most
of them have been exposed to it, and
it is probable that additional cases
will result. Ii is hoped to be able to
send her to the hospital this evening.

NEW OPERA IS
BROUGHT OUT IN CHICAGO
THE Forbidden Land" on For a Run
at the Illinois, Has Scored a
Hit-Story of Thibet.

The new comic opera. The Forbid
den Land" which was produced last
week at the Illinois theatre in Chica-
go, adds another triumph to the splen-
did line of successful productions for
which the metropolis of the west has
become famous during the past five
years. Strange as it may appear, it is
nevertheless Il fact, that all of the
thoroughly successful musical produc-
tiOns of America during the time above
stated have been produced in Chica-
go, and are the work of Chicago writ
ers and Chicago musicians. This last
success must be credited to the gen
.tlemen who produced The Burgomas-
ter" The Explorers" The Storks. -
and THE Tenderfoot." the first named
and the last named works being con
spicuOusly successful.
The Forbidden Land" is the work
of Guy F. Steely, who wrote the book
and lyrics, and Frederic Chaplin, who
composed the music. Both are young
men, their first collaboration being
THE Storks." They show great adj
yancement in the present work, and
better things may be expected of them.
The scene is supposed TO be laid in
Thibet. and Thibct is SO far away from
the United States and so little is
known of it that any description is
unnecessary. The costumes fairly rep
resent the unknown country in design
and color, while in gorgeousness they
are truly oriental. The cast of char
acters include the ruler of the city of
l4hasSa in Thibet, his daughter, several
officials and a beggar chief. These,
with the chorus, are all supposed to
be natives of Thibet. Then there is a
travelling concocter of health foods
from Battle AK, Mich, eccentric and
wealthy, travelling around the world
with his niece, her Swedish servant
and his own HindoO servant. England
is represented by an adventurous art
ist, who is supposed to be sketching
the Notifications of Lhassa in the in
tcrest of a prospective invasion by the
globe civiliZers, tO-wit: the English
armies. Joseph Herbert is principal
comedian. Many novel bits of bust
ness, dances and evolutions attest his
skill as a stage manager. Mr.. Herbert
plays the eccentric traveller Miss
Mamie Ryan plays the niece. Miss
Ethel Johnson the Swedish servant
girl. Mr.. Rock the Hindoo servant
Mr.. Phillips. a new singer in the west.
plays the English artist. w. II. Clarke,
probably the best basso profundo in
America. plays the ruler of Lhassa.
Miss Alma Youlin plays the daughter,
and 10 her lot falls the principal music
If the Operetta. Miss Youlin is
young Chicago girl and this is her first
wear upon the stage. William Cam
eron plays the beggar chief, and Alb
bolt Adams plays the high chief Off
cial of the Lhassa court. Add TO this
cast the very best chorus. considered
vOcally and from the point of comeli-
ness or costume which has been seen
on the Chicago stage in all time. and
one has the reasons for the instanta-
neous success achieved by this new
opera. 1t is on at the Illinois for a
run.

NEED WHEELS AT THE MISSION
Another Appeal to Those Having 81
cycles to Donate.

There have been some responses to
the appeal for bicycles made in behalf
of the children of the Union Mission,
but not enough have come forward.
and those having wheels for which
they have no further use are again
requested to contribute to making hap
Ply the lives of the little ones at the
institution.
The Argus has made reference here
tofore to the efforts of the manage
ment of the mission TO keep the chill
dren supplied with healthful diversion
during the warm months. and of the
appeal for bicycles. There are many
people who have old wheels they will
never use again decaying in corner
of the wOodShed. These will do nice
ly for the mission children, and their
removal would make room that could
be employed to better advantage.
So if you are one of those having 4
wheel that you can afford to part com
pany with. just telephone the mission
and it will be called for. and you will
be doing a good turn for the little
ones out at the Aiken street home.

"A client Of mine had a bill Of $50

came into his place OF business in n

cash check for him. The check was
for $50 Well. my client gave him the

A WORD FROM GEN. LONG
Wants to Be Alone Held Responsible
for Dependency Proceedings.

William Long, general directing the
Christian Warriors, takes exception to
some of the statements made in con-
nection with the report of the depend
ency proceedings of which he was in
stigator in the county court, and which
resulted in a verdict by a jury yester-
day that the Jameson children should
remain in the care of their parents.
He wishes ii understood that he alone
was responsible for the inquiry. He
did not base his petition on infOrma-
ton that he gained from others, but
what he had seen with his own eyes,
and he persists in the claim that the
Jameson children are neglected, and
should receive attention. He states
the cost to the county from the hear
ing will not be over 800. In this he
is mistaken. Ii he will go to the trOu-
BILE of having the clerk of the court
figure il up for him he will learn that
it will not be a penny less than $3.50.
The general feels that there is a preju-
dice existing against the band of
which he is the head. He says they
have been misrepresented in various
instances, and have been confused
with other religious bodies. He says
the Warriors were organized in Rock
Island, and not in Iowa. He states
that it was the Volunteer Warriors
that came here from Iowa. He came
here from st. Louis, he says. He has
been labOring in the name of chris
ianity and humanity. and when he
brought the inquiry in the county court
he believed he was only doing his
luty as a citizen and a christian.
