DEATH ON STAGE
William e. Thomas, Principal
Tenor in "WonderIand,"
Drinks Acid.
WASHINGTON PERFORMANCE
Thought Adra Gordon, Chorus Girl He
Was infatuated With Was
Tickle.

Washington, March 14.-There was
sensational suicide on the stage of
Il Colu;lbia theater last night while
the performance of Wonderland" was
going on. The principals in the TRACE
Gy were man and a girl in the chorus
who had each joined the company in
Chicago over a year ago
William Z. Thomas of Saginaw,
Mich, "a years old, soon after he join
ed Wonderland" became infatuated
with Adra Gordon, pretty 16-year-Old
GIRL who had joined the show in Oc-
iober, 1904 Since then Thomas, who
was the leading tenor of the chorus,
became more and more infatuated.
Thought Sweetheart F'Iirt.
The young chorus girl, who comes
from San Francisco, occasionally flirt-
cd with others of the company. Tonight
ABOUT $50 Thomas called his sweet
heart to his side while the perform
ance was going on.
He held his hand behind his back.
and she was waiting for some little
present when he suddenly raised
glass of carbolic acid to his lips She
struggled to prevent the suicide. but,
although the glass was spilled, enough
of the acid was taken TO cause death
of Thomas at the Emergency hospital
less than an hour later.
Audience Ignorant of Tragedy.
The audience was not informed of
the tragedy. and the principals and
subordinates in the musical comedy
were SO well trained they went
through the performance as if nothing
had happened except that pretty Ada
Gordon was at the Emergency hospital
and not in the chorus.

TELEPHONE TOPIC.
Retail Merchants c mmittse
contemplates Calling a
General Me eting
TO HEAR ALL SIDES OF 1T
Difference of Opinion on the Pending
Proposition Before the
Council.

The committee of the Rock Island
Retail Merchants association relative
to the franchise of the Central Union
Telephone company pending before the
city council has under consideration the
calling of a JOINT meeting of the asso-
citation the Rock Island Club, and city
council and citizens generally to dis
cuss the question. The proposition is
to have the representatives of the tel
ephone company present in order that
all interested may question them as TO
what the company proposes to do in
order that there may be no misunder-
standing in the company's future deal
ings with the public.
Difference of Opinion.
There is a wide difference of opinion
on the situation as it presents itself,
the controversy between the city and
the company having narrowed down, as
has been stated. to three questions
rates, taxation of the franchise, and the
union labor clause. The plan suggest
ed in The Argus of yesterday of the
company making a contract with union
labor here has met with many express
sions of appreciation from representa-
tive labor men as a means of elimina-
ting this phase.
General sentiment is that the matter
of taxation should depend upon the
true condition of the company's bus
mess here. The rate question is of
course a subject of great interest and
upon what agreement is reached as to
this will largely depend the solution of
the matter.
The public naturally feels, as has
been said. that the company's arbitrary
attitude in the past is responsible for
existing feelings, and that can only be
removed by the company ITSELF whose
representatives the people should be
given opportunity to meet and ques-
ton.
The committee of the Retail Mer-
chants association is composed of F.
T. Myers, F. G. Young, Ralph Lamont,
and w. c. Maucker.

New Magazine Fiction.

The deluge of short stories in the
magazines is so overwhelming, that
it is usually quite useless to attempt
to point to the merit of any partic-
ular story. But in the February
number of the Cosmopolitan Mag
ABIDE there is a tale so remarkable
for its laugh-provoking qualities that
it seems necessary, for the good of
the jaded magazine reader, to call
attention to it. 1t is signed with
the curious name Malvolio Jones,
obviously a nom de plume.
Why quiet and perfectly respect
able old lady should want to go over
Niagara Falls in a barrel, and why
this proceeding seems perfectly
reasonable is told with the most
whimsical touch in this story, 1t
looks like the coming of new and
distinctive humorist.

Bob Taylor's Magazine.

Among the hundreds of periodicals
competing for public favor today,
Bob Taylor's Magazine stands in the
forefront ranks, not only on the
count of material prosperity but on
that of literary merit as well. The
success of this new conner in the
publishing world is little short of
phenomenal when we consider the
keen competition and the constant
fresh accessions to American Maya
zine ranks. The distinguishing feat
ures of Bob Taylor's is its distinctive
Southern flavor. Governor Taylor's
personal monthly contributions, UNI
der the title, Sunshine and Moon
shine unfailingly strike the key
note of Southern mirth and melody,
and this tone is admirably sustained
throughout. Perhaps no public
lecture has ever been more enthusi-
astically received than Governor

attractive dissertation, comming-
ling of sentiment and humor, is pre-
sented in monthly installments, with
sympathetic illustrations,
