ton with an Irishman in a western
cattle camp many years ago. The
Irishman was bully and a bad man.
While Chestnut always wore brace
OF six shooters In his belt, be also car

with his pipe. he quickly drew IL out
and placed IL In his mouth. The Irish

Dread of Plaques is Past.

The advance the medical profession
has made in the past century and is
still making is little short of the sup
ernatural. Macbeth said: Time was
that when brains were out the man
would die, and there an end" Now
adays the doctors scoop them up and
replace them, patch up the patients
head and turn him out, if not as good
as new, at least a very good substi-
tute or a passable second hand article
and the world will no more shrink
with horror and dread from thoughts
Of the fearful plague which ravaged
all Europe from the latter part of the
18th to nearly the end of the 10th cen
turtles An episode of the plague is
worked out in Marie COreilis great
tragic melodrama, "Fabio Romani,"
which will be presented at the Illinois
Sunday evening. The original New
York company with all the elaborate
scenery. costumes and accessories
that contributed to the long run of the
play in the metropolis, will be seen
here. Nothing finer in the line of
scenic display has ever been booked
at the opera house. The excellence of
the cast and the many stirring cpl
sodes of this sterling melodrama,
make it one of the grandest produc-
tions of the season.

FLYING PAPERS ARE
NUISANCE IN STREET
Citizen Calls Attention to Need of
Regulation of This GIaring
Evil.

The public authorities of Rock
Island ought to be ashamed of the
condition of our Streets said a Rock
Island citizen today. Second avenue
for day or two has been literally
covered with papers flying in all di-
rectiOns; then these flying papers
seemed to drift to the neighborhood of
the Harper house, and there on the
east side of that building they are al
lowed to remain for days. One would
think that the proprietors of the Har-
per house would take some pains to
have that place kept clear of these fly
ing papers, that gives such a mean.
careless look to their premises; the
comfort and appearance of that hotel
should demand that this nuisance be
abated.
The same condition of flying and
moving papers in the street is observ-
able on the east side of the Y. NJ. c. A.
building. When are we going to BE-
relieved of this intolerable nuisance?
Persons passing through Spencer
square often see papers flying about.
The custodian of the square says he
is constantly at work picking up pa
peTs that are drifting, but he has no
sooner cleaned up than he has to be
gin again; they come in on all sides.
IF the law cannot be enforced so
as TO punish persons throwing this lit
ter in the streets, then let the city EN-
ploy some one TO pick them up, and
burn them. The people of Rock Island
ought to be ashamed to have this SLOW
emily condition of the principal streets
OF the city continued

SUGAR GOING TO HIGH MARK
Housewife Will Have to Pay Dear
For Her Sweetening.

For the next few months sugar will
probably soar high up in the market
and undoubtedly will be the highest
that it has been for years. Since last
January it has gradually been raising
and now brings 30c more per hundre
than it did at that time. When the
price jumped 1Oc last Saturday it did
not surprise the wholesale dealers for
they have felt for some time that a big
raise would come about this time.
What is of more interest generally is
that it will probably go much higher
soon.
