Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1905-03-15

Shakespearean Revival Notable Event.
Ben Greet, whose company will play
here Saturday afternoon and evening,
argues for Shakespeare as Shakes
peare wrote it, the play, the whole
play, and nothing but the play. No
Juggling of scenes to obtain a "big
curtain" for the star, no cutting and
slaShing to fit the requirements of the
actors limitations. no wealth of pro
duction" to divert the spectators at
tention from the matter at hand. And
Mr.. Greet has the courage of his con-
victions, since for several years his
company has been presenting the
plays of Shakespeare in the Elizabeth
an manner and it is an undisputed
fact that the great public likes the in
novatiOn, if it can be called such,
while your true Shakespearean stu
dent is simply carried away with it.
There are, the Elizabethan says,
many advantages in the Elizabethan
mode of presentation. The stage is
simply set. the scene representing the
theatre or hall where the play was
originally performed, and this one
scene remaining, of course, through
out the entire action of the play. At
tention is thus concentrated on the
actor, with whose movements, boldly
defined against a simple back ground,
nothing interferes. The stage is built
out into the auditorium. which brings
the action into more intimate relation
with the audience. and gives special
kind of realism which the vast dis
lance and manifold articles Of our
modern theatres render unattainable.
1t is the realism of scene to which
the audience is transported by the
painters skill and in which the actor

TWO LARGE TRAINS.
Indications Of a Large Num-

An early visit to the grounds yes
terday morning verified the state
ment of the owner and management
that the equal of Parker's Carnival
has never been here.
The rains of the previous day and
early in the morning rendered the
task of unloading slow and difficult.
To begin with, the trains got into
the city behind time and the task Of
the unloading and transferring the
four or five engines and mammoth
wagons to the exhibition ground
consumed the whole of Sunday night,
There has never before been more
than half as many wagons belonging
to carnival company on the grounds.
A correct count could not be made,
but it is safe to say that there are

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
in6anned condition Of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars free.

To the enthusiast in summer sports and
pastimes, there is nothing SO thoroughly
delightful or more genuinely beneficial
than canoe voyage far up in the northern
Maine woods. Thousands Of men and
women have already tasted the ecstacies of
this sort OF an outing and found supreme
enjoyment in it--in the swift, noiseless
gliding-d down lake and winding stream, or
the exciting runs down stretches of tur-
bulent water, or camping out in Gods own
country, amid scenic environments of the
most charming sort.
Northern Maine, with its 1900 square
miles of water-crossed playground, offers
unlimited possibilities for canoeing, the
hundreds of connecting and contiguous
lakes, rivers, streams and brooks making
canoe progress feasible and easy in
practically every direction, even though
ones route lies in the very heart of the
untamed forest where no road or trail has
yet been cut and where the canoe offers
the only practical means of travel.
There are several particularly attractive
canoe trips here which have been singled
out of the many because of the ease with
which they can be made and the compare
lively short time it takes to make them.
The list includes Allagash river trip
about 200 miles), Penobscot West branch
trip (about eighty miles), Penobscot East
branch trip (about lis miles), Fish river
system trip (about Ill miles), Allagash
lake trip (about ninety-nine miles), and
the st. John river trip (about 231 miles).
Special information concerning these, or
any OF the other popular canoe trips to be
made in northern Maine, can be had
promptly and in full by addressing G. c.

Something About Diamonds.

On account of the American diamond
cutters having the protection of duty
on finished stones, while rough stones are
admitted free, the diamond cutting indus
try is firmly established here. Every year
rough diamonds of greater value are
brought in and cut here, as the following
figures will show: 1897, $2,617, 413.95; 1898,
"a 300, o9S94 1899, s., 1907 ,534 70; 1900 South
African war year,, 1857, 5000; 1901,
7o2, o5305; 1902, 8, 1885,, 252 IS; 1903 81, 412,
414.s9; 1904, s9,675, 741.7s.
The brilliancy of diamond is due
entirely to the cutting. Brilliancy is
merely the light the stove reflects; the
duty of the facets is to reflect the light,
therefore the stone must have the correct
thickness that the facets may be laid at
the right angles to reflect the light in the
proper direction-straight up through the
top of the stone.
There are fifty eight facets on diamond
-thirty-three on the top and twenty-five
on the bottom. If the stone is too thick
or too thin, the rays of light are not
reflected straight up, as the angle of
reflection makes them cross or sep arate.

Haying About Over - Heavier Crop
than Last Year-Price Quotations.
Haying is about completed, and sum
mary OF reports received from THE AMER
IcAN's correspondents from all sections OF
the county indicate heavier crop than
for several years. There are some excep-
tions to this rule, however, a few CORE
sponoents reporting the crop about the
same as last year, and in one or two in
stances lighter. One West Ellsworth
farmer says on high land the crop is bet
Ter than last year, but in the swales,
where it was heavy last year, this years
crop is not half what it was last year,
owing to the cold, wet spring.
The wholesale grain markets have
shown considerable fluctuations in the
past week. Exports which have been
heavy, were curtailed by further rise
last week, and eastern markets, in which
| stocks were low, felt the benefit. An
easing off of prices followed, and to-day
they stand about the same as last week.
Local retail prices ON corn have not been
affected, but dealers are carrying very
short stocks, fearing to be caught on a
falling market.
Oats remain steady. The indications
are that this years crop will average
lighter than for several years, and prices
between the lightest and the heaviest will
| range greater than usual.
Flour is a little easier, but it will be an
other month yet before Hancock county
