AMUSEM ENTS.

Sundays Bill. Dora Thorne," a
dramatized novel of the present sea
son, marks new departure in melo'
drama. The story of the play follows
the book accurately enough to permit
the use of the title, but the playwright
has chosen the incidents and happen.
ings with excellent taste, and woven
them into play that is interesting in
the extreme. The audience cannot
help but engage themselves sympathet-
ically with every turn of the fortunes
of Dora Thorne," girl whom the En-
glish would call low BORN who won
the affection of and married the duke S
son. The resultant plot may be map
ped out, but the treatment of her nat
ural girlish, exhuberance in contrast to
the habitual reserve and repression OF
the manner aristocratic. must be seen
to be appreciated. 4 large share of
the success of the performance is due
to the cast, which is strong through
out.
Dora Thorne" will be seen at the H.
linois theatre Sunday
Story is OrieinaI.-The story of "The
Runaways," which will be seen at the
Illinois theatre Friday. Sept. %. is de
cidedly original. A retired army gen
eral is smitten with a comic opera
queen. The general is afflicted with
dyspepsia There is an island in the
far Pacific where indigestion is I'M
known. The comic opera queen has to
win the big handicap at Saratoga be
fore she can go TO the island, she
knowing the location. There is a con.
spiracy on the part of a Skin" doctor
and Butch" the jockey. to have tho
queens horse defeated, but in spite of
their Vaccinations the horse wins.
The race track at Saratoga, where the
race is run, is shown in the first act.
The second act shows the island of
Table d'Hote in the Pacific Here the
troubles of the general multiply. Six
widows want 10 marry him and he is
constantly kept in hot water. There is
a laugh in every line of the perform
ance, rich. mirth in many com plicated
situations and keen delight in the pref
~ songs and catchy music. The pro-
tuctiOn is the same as originally pre-
Sented when IL scored the big New
York Casino success.

FALL WORK ON THE FARM
Is NOW WELL ADVANCED
Soil in Fine Condition TO Be Worked
-Three-Fourths Of Corn
Safe

| Dry weather, with clear skies and
| temperature above the seasonal liver
! age. prevailed in Illinois after the 1ath
according to the summary of crop con
/ ditions for the week ending Sept 25.
Over the western portion of the state
light rains fell on the 18th, and there
were subsequently a few scattered
showers in the northern district All
/ farm work progressed rapidly under
the exceptionally favorable conditions
With the exception of those localities
in the central portion where heavy
rains occurred during the previous
week, the soil is in excellent condition
for blowing, and this work is nearing
completion. Fall seeding continued. and
the early sown wheat Is up to good
stand.
The weather has been ideal for
corn, and a heavy yield is promised
except in those localities where 1t was
damaged by wind and food. IL Is es-
timated that at least three-fourths of
the corn in the northern district is
past danger from frost and the portion
that could be damaged in the central
and southern districts is insignificant.
Cutting continued throughout the
week, and much is now in shock in
the southern half OF the state.
Pastures continue in good condi-
ton, but are beginning 10 need rain In
the southern counties. Broomcorn has
all been harvested. and the crop is
satisfactory. Cowpeas. fall clover and
millet are being put up In good condi-
ton. Live stock is healthy with the
exception of few scattered cases OF
hog cholera Discouraging reports Of
the potato crop continue. The yield
is short and there rs much complaint
of rottiug and sprouting.
Apples continue to drop. and the out
look for this fruit is very poor. Pears
are ripening. and the yield Is below ay-
erage.

PRICE IS STEADY
Dealers Banquet Will Not Shove
Up the Cost OF
Coal.
WILL INVITE ASSOCIATION
Illinois and Wisconsin Coal Men May
Come Here Next June-Trip
to ST. Paul.

Ii is authoritatively stated that the
banquet of the coal dealers at the
Watch Tower last night Will he paid
for without a rise in the price of the
out that the question of prices was not
discussed. but attention was given TO
another matter of Importance. The
dealers of Rock Island. with the CO.
operation of the business men of this
city may extend an invitation TO the
Illinois and Wisconsin Retail Dealers
association TO hold its annual meeting
in Rock Island next June. There has
been some correspondence between To-
cal members and those in charge of
this matter. and assurance has been
given that an invitation from this city
will be given favorable consideration.
IL is the custom OF the association TO
follow the convention with a pleasure
trip and last year the dealers. after
the meeting in Chicago. visited the
Pennsylvania anthracite regions. The
proposition is to have the convention
in this city, and at the close of the
session, To make a river trip 10 st.
Paul.
Put to State Board.
While all plans are still in embryo
the dealers are talking the matter
over and viii at once take it up with
the state board. 1t is suggested that an
effort might be made by Davenport at
the same time 10 secure the
convention of the Iowa and
Nebraska interstate association
and IN that way the two interstate or
CARNATIONS might hold a joint session
which would undoubtedly prove of con
siderable interest. The only formal
business transacted by the dealers last
evening was the appointment of Z. r.
McKown and Fred w Young as a com
mittee to investigate the possibility of
securing the convention for this city.
The committee was not given authori-
ty 10 extend an invitation to the asso-
citation, but will open correspondence
with the state board on the matter and
at later time report to the dealers.
The executive board meets in Febru-
airy. and the invitation will be consid-
cred at that time.
There were about twenty-five dealers
in attendance last evening at the ban
quet, and pleasant session of sociabil-
ity followed The dealers discussed no
business matters aside from the posi-
bility of securing the convention.

which he never had seen. and to the visitor 5
establishment translated the shrieks of a cat in
the courtyard Upon HooPer,s suggestion he
again sought to find Maggie Hutchinson, and
called up Atlantic liner outward bound from
New-York. The next evening he mentally
transported to Newly Ork again. He awoke with
an exclamation about the villainy of 4 dramatic
agent named Steindal.
Karl explained that Constantine and Steindal
in New-No rk decided to make Maggie Hutcllin
son an offer to go on a concert tour, Constantine
evidently having an Interior motive. SO intent
was Karl in listening 70 the plot that he aroused
in the Armenian 5 mind a vivid remembrance of
the time he was rescued from the sea, and
Constantine fell over the table shrieking of
sharks
Karl received a telegram from his mother ask
ing him to meet the Hutchinsons upon their
arrival in London. After astonishing the hotel
clerk with teLegnOmtc manifestations Karl
met the vOyagers. Maggie related a CONVEX
sation between Steindal and Constantine which
she felePHODifcaLly overheard coincidentally with
harIS experience.

Years old. He fell and was hurt, and translated
10 himself without difficulty the examinations of
me persons about him, though the remarks were
gwen in German, French. Scottish dialect and
Indian He understood the language of all ami
mails 5 well.
One day, when living in India, he described
70 his father plot to murder a neighbor, Which
he perceived distinctly, though the pIotters were
miles away. The plot was frustrated and the
ruffanS captured solely on his information.
AT ten years of age he was taken TO England
He astounded those on board the steamer by his
strange knowledge. For instance, he disCerned
the moons of the planet Jupiter, and then in the
evening an Armenian commercial man fell over
board. Though 1t in darkness, the boy
guided the ships boat to the man in the water,
where Karl could see him distinctly a mile away.
This man, Paul Constantine, conceived ex-
t-avagant affection for Karl The young feleg-
H0HzlSt was sent to school, where he puzzled the
teacher with his psychic featS.
Grown TO young manhood, Grer one night felt
a desire to recall Maggie Hutchinson, a girl he
had known IN India, and distinctly saw her eating
dinner with Constantine at a New-York seaside
resort, although he, Grier, was in England. He
