The congressional contest in Rock
Island county is assuming a more def
mite shape. the various cliques of poli-
ticians are gradually taking one side
or the other and the forms of the fight
ing array can now be more plainly
seen. The indications now are that

The lines of year ago now seem to
be drawn and the anti-Yates men of
the governorship campaign will be the
anti-Searle men of the congressional

be the same men who fought with him
for Governor Yates a year ago. He
was put forth as the leader of the fac-
ton in that fight and the Indications
are that he Will receive the full sup
port of all who were identified with
him at that time.
Getting Together.
When the congressional campaign
opened the forces that were expected
to oppose Mr.. Searie. either by sport
of Mr.. Allen or some other candidate.
were practically split into three divi-
sions, two in Moline and one in Rock
Island. The first getting together was
that of the divisions peculiar to the
struggle between the two big pillow
companies. When that was announced
politicians began to look for the action
of the Rock Island contingent, and it
now appears that they too will be
drawn into the consolidation.
Result of Consolidation.
There is no question but that this
consolidation means a fight in Rock
Island, but there is a question of wha|
II can accomplish. The indications are
that the fight will be in the three up.

KEITH'S THEATRE.

There is not a dull act on the entire
bill al Keith's this week, and the large
crowd that came early remained through
siasm as the evening grew. John C. Rice,
easily one OF the best comedians before
the public. and his merry partner. Sally
Cohen. were given a rousing welcome.
for they are exceedingly popular with
Providence theatregoers as they are
everywhere. They presented a bright
comedy sketch called "Our Honeymoon"
which deals with "A young married couple
who supposedly trust and confide ab-
solutely In each other. The young hus-
band attends a prize ight. his wife sus-
poets and he has 10 do considerable ib-
hing in order 10 get out OF the tangle I'm
which he finds himself and regain his
wife's confidence.
Mr. Rice. n his incomparably finished
st-ys. made every point tell. and Miss
Cohen was charming as the young wife.
The audience laughed hilarously all
through the act and Mr.. Rice and Miss
Cohen were given several hearty curtain
calls at the end OF the act
One OF the popular funmakers on the
bill was Frank 'Bush. by all odds the best
storY-teller before the public This man,
who is an excellent dialectician always
brings with him a budget of brand new
stories. and, Whist is more. they are truly
funny which Is more than can be said
for the stories OF many comedians. Be
tween each of Mr. Bush's stories he was
Obliged TO make long pauses 10 allow the
hearty laughter he aroused TO cease.
Charles Burke, Grace LaRue and their
funny little Inky Boys gave a capital
comedy act. introducing some excellent

uncommonly attractive young woman
who can both sing and dance well, while
Mr.. Burke H. very clever Irish comedian.
Their act was full OF new material which
found great favor and their bright little
lnky Boys added 10 the fun.
Wilbur Hill and Willette Whitaker, one
OF the best liked couples In vaudeville.
were one Of the genuine hits OF the bill.
They gave. as heretofore. their capital
banjo selections and Miss Whitaker sang
a couple OF coon songs as she only can
sing them-with an indescrlbable JUNCTION

Miss Whitaker while Mr. Hill plays a
