Beers Passing Through.

The passenger department of the
Rock Island received word yesterday
that 200 beers would soon pass west
over the Rock Island bound for Mex
leo. 1t appears that boer agents have
succeeded in purchasing an immense
tract of land just across the border,
not far from the Texas line, and that
large number of boer families are
to settle there during the next few
months. The people who are now on
their way to their new homes consti-
tute the advance guard, and the agent
who is handling the matter stated
that he could not estimate how large
the movement would be. 1t is under
stood, however, that between 1000
and 1.5OO families will COLOMBO the
lands. \ large portion of them will
engage in cattle raising, The para
grass in the section purchased is pc
culiarly good for cattle.

of the wise ones. at looks as
if the anti-Yates men would have the
control of the convention by an over

are that on the first ballot Deneen

Lowden second with 341 votes to his

Charles y. Mason is one of the pair
of favorite comedians who make
countless thousands laugh. His latest
was told at a dinner given to him
recently and is doubly interesting. as
Mason and Mason in Rudolph and
Adolph" will appear here tonight. To
reduce long railroad trip last fall
the company played one night in a
rather small town. Ever since that
memora BILE visit of Broadhurst & Cur
rie's now famous musical comedy, the
play and the players were the one
topic of conversation-tbe standard
of comparison. Songs, dances. funny
characters and incidents of the last
minstrel show, the opera company.
Uncle Toms Cabin" and other at
fractions were all weighed in the
Mason and Mason scale and found
wanting in the balance. so when the
new musical production appeared
in a nearby city. the manager was
importuned to- write for special re-
turn engagement" Mason promptly
replied. giving the cast, and referred

beers. additions of dozen or more

ed. and an unusual amount of horse
play; incidentally remarking that he
(Charles) still played the horse doc
tor. The astute purveyor of theatrical
amusements penned the following:
Mister Charles Mason. Dear Sir
Yours received, and i am sorry we
can't play You. The boss play o. h,

Ole Stage.
Feb. 11.-"Rudolph and Adolph."
Feb. 1.-THE Silver Slipper"
Feb. 17.-"Happy Hooligan."

The most complete organization
ever appearing in musical comedy on
tour is that of THE Silver Slipper
the latest musical play by the author
of "Florodora," which Will be the at
traction at the Illinois Sunday. In
preparing to send The Silver Slipper"
ON tour following it's seasons success
full run at the Broadway theatre, New
York, Manager John C. Fisher did
not hesitate at expense, and the com
plete production with all the dazzling
scenic and lighting effects and the eX-
pensive and elaborate costumes which
tend to make this musical play the
most successful production of the
sensOn, will be seen here. The Cham
payne dance" which is one of the
many great features of this produc-
ton. is sure to set all Rock Island
talking. and even the soberest will be
compelled to yield to its charms. The
cast numbers 125 people and includes
such well-known favOrites as Sam Col
Inns, Ann Tyrell, Donald Brine, W. G.
Stewart, Ben Lodge, Frances Gordon,
Carolyn Gordon, Laura Clement and
Alice Leasing. During its metropoli
tan run the chorus of THE Silver
Slipper" became famous for its beau
tiful young women; by extraordinary
inducements, Manager Fisher received
the consent of the young ladies to go
on tour with the organization, so that
we shall have the pleasure of seeing
some of the most beautiful young wO-
men ever appearing in a chorus.
In the announcement that Happy
Hooligan'' will be the attraction here
next Wednesday. the patrons of the
house receive assurance that they are
to see a standard quality of theatrical
entertainment. When one goes to a
store to purchase dry goods or gro
ceries, there are certain reliable
brands which it is always well to insist
upon receiving. As it is in the mercan-
tile business, so it is in the theatrical
business. There is a standard quality
of attractions. and in the line of farce
comedy, Happy HOoligan'' claims to
represent the very highest possible
quality. Such entertainments cannot
be thrown together over night. Hap
ply Hooligan" represents months of
NOll anu ldDOT. anu the SH-
penditure of upwards of $4,000. The

ayers in the country have been util-

about it is new and bright. The men,
bers of the company are artists of
wide reputation. and the girls forming
the chorus are the prettiest specimens
of young womanhood that it was pos
sible to secure. As is well known.
the comedy is built about the myth

lures of +. Opper's genial hobo. so

! Frank \. Hart, district passenger
agent for the Burlington, received in
his morning mail printed instructions
from the head of his department at
Chicago bearing on course of physi-

the official orders to his subordinates.

Hart does not work out at any of the
gymnasiums here. but it is known that
he always keeps in the pink of condi-
ton through Observation-Disclosures walks
both winter and summer. The cold
est mornings of the present season he
could be seen pegging up the Tween
tieth street hill between ) and 6
o'clock for a run around the reser-
yoir embankment to listen to the
cracks of the ice. But he says if his
company has something new to offer
he is willing to take try at it.
p S. Eustis, passenger traffic mana
ger, has announced his intention of
organizing classes in gymnastics and
indoor sp rts. and every emplOye will
be expected to do his daily stunt
What is more. Mr.. Eustis will see to
it that everyone is given time to see
if he can stand up straight and touch
the floor with the tips Of fingers with
out bending the knees. and to do 9th
er things which he thinks are equally
important aids to digestion and
health.
This routine is due to Mr.. Eustis'
recovery from severe attack of

to recover.

county in the district. except possibly

but Sherman will undoubtedly lead
the fight against the Yates forces. If
the anti-YateS men wished to employ
the same methods adopted by their
opponents in other counties. they
could probably shut out Yates alto
gether. But they are inclined TO let
each section of the county decide for
itself for whom its delegates shall
vote in the state convention. The re-
suit of this policy will give Gov. Yates
five delegates from Rock Island coun-
ty, while the 10 others will be anti
Yates. There will probably be no in
structions in this county on governor
If any are given, Sherman will be the
beneficiary.

STOPPED A RUNAWAY.
Hugh Sutherland of Wood Street Was
 the Hero of North Square.

Hugh Sutherland of Wood street won the plaudits of the great throng of people who pass North square about noon every day. Sutherland Is the most modest fellow in the city and the cheers that greeted his brave act made him run home blushing He was going home to dinner about noon when q horse and sleigh came tearing along North Main street at frightful rate. There was no one in the sleigh. indi- eating that the horse was running away. The square is almost one sheet of ice and only with the greatest diff ficulty can one walk across 1t. Suth- erland took in the situation at a glance. He knew that bad accident could not be avoided on account of the crowded condition of the crosswalks, and some body would certainly get seriously hurt unless the horse was stopped. So Sutherland sprang from the sidewalk. rushed toward the oncoming horse that threatened to dash him to the ground, and catching the bridle turned it to- ward the watering trough and all dan- egr was averted Everybody stopped and gazed spellbound at the man who was quieting the agitated horse ana then as if it had been prearranged, the whole crowd burst into q cheer and shouted hurrah. Sutherland tieu the horse to the trolley pole at the Wa tering trough and scooted down Cher " street.

THE GAELIC SOCIETY.
will Take Action on Communica.
 tion From National Body.

The Gaelic Literary society will hold meeting tomorrow afternoon to take action upon a communication from the national body in the old world. With Douglas Hyde, William B. Yeats and others of their kind at it's head, the Gaelic Literary society promises to acr complish even more for the Irish peo- pie Iii q literary sense than did the great galaxy of learned men that turned the attention of the world to that country during the days of the Young Ireland party, when, as the poet tells us. "they kindled there q living flame that nothing shall with stand" Dr Hyde is | graduate of Trinity college Dublin, and was in tended for the Protestant ministry. but he changed his mind while yet in his teens and concluded to devote his life to the regeneration and spread of the Irish language and as a result of his efforts in that direction branches of the Gaelic society have been organized in almost every town and hamlet the world over, and men and women who up to a few years ago didn't know Gaelic from Greek can now sing the melodies of the ancient Irish bards and read the fairy and folk lore of that country in the language of the original authors.
 The local organization is probably the strongest in the state. It has neat, ly furnished rooms ill the G. A. R. block. East Main street, where meet ings are held on Tuesday evenings at 8 o'clock and every Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock The singing society is il charge of Prof Keegan, organist at Sf Thomas's church.

Brain work Does Not KiIl.

Tn lecture on longevity delivered beN
 fore the Royal College. of Physicians Sir Hermann Weber. himself an octogen- arian, gave official support to the doc urine that brain work does not kill, but rather the reverse. A few of his in- stances are Sophocles, Plato, Galen, Cicero. Moltke, Bismarck.
