DAVENPORT DOTS.

Got Her JeweIry.-AS a result of her
misplaced confidence in one of her gen.
tlemen boarders, the proprietresS OF
one of the we'll known boarding houses
of the city is today mourning the loss
of her diamond jewelry, valued at sew
eral hundred dollars Recently a well
appearing man became regular board
| er at the place in question. He gain
ed the good graces of the landlady to
such an extent that several days ago
he offered to take her diamond rings
and other valuables to a jeweler for
the purpC Sc of having them cleaned.
The landlady acquiesced in the request
and gave the boarder her jewelry. Sew
eral days later she questioned him
about their return and was informed
that the delay in getting them back
was occasioned by the jeweler where
he left them being busy at the time
and unable to do the work. He asSur-
ed her, however, that he would return
them shortly. The landlady waited
another day and then insisted that she
should have them back. The boarder
then remarked that he would go and
get them Immediately He left the
place, and that is the last seen of him,
and up to the present time the dia-
monds are also missing. 1t would
therefore appear that the good looking
boarder has skipped town with the
valuables in his possession.

Kills LegaIzing Act-Hon. Joe R.
Lane, president of the Davenport Land

Attorney E. NJ. Sharon, legalizing all
the citys acts in connection with the
Allen paving case, and that both the

proved the report.

n. o. ROLLS TEST.
Sold Hyomei for Years and Knows II
Will Cure Catarrh.

II. o. Rolls has given Hyomei a
most thorough and remarkable test.
For a long time he has offered to re-
fund the money to any purchaser of
Hyomei, If it failed TO benefit.
The remedy has made 50 many
cures among his customers that he
has urged its use in the most chronic
cases of catarrh.
Breathed for a few minutes four
times day, through the inhaler that
comes with every outfit, it soothes
the irritated mucous membrane OF the
nose. throat and lungs, kills the ca
tarrhal germs, and restores complete
health. It's healing, anti-complete
health.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
only 81, and consists of an inhaler that
can be carried in the pocket or purse,
and will last lifetime, medicine
dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei. IL
this is not sufficient for a complete
cure. additional bottles of Hyomei can
be obtained for so cents.
Compare this small expense with
the fees charged by specialists, and
remember, too, If Hyomei does not
cure, H. o. Rolls, of the Harper House
pharmacy, will return your money.

Can Tell one of the most prominent
vital and ingenious roles ever drawn
by Mr.. Shaw, is portrayed by John
Findlay, who made a tremendous hit
in the part during the five-months' run
of the play in New York last season.
George Farren plays the choleric Mr..
Champion, father of the constituencies
and light-hearted Ciandon children.
Stately Isabelle Urquhart plays the
part of the mother Dodson Mitchell is
fine as the pompous Mr. Bohun and
Fred Tyler appears as Finch McCom-
as. The presentation is in every way
an ideal one and worthy the art of the
great Irish playwright.
Real Black Face.-George Primrose
and his big minstrel company of COM
edians, vocalist, dancers and musicians
will be the attraction at the Illinois

was receiving too little attention in
the so-called minstrel entertainments.
For that reason, when he decided to
exploit the real thing last season, his
earnest and fondest desire was to have
the biggest and best black-face min
strel organization ever organized. The
result has satisfied his most sanguine
anticipations, and he again promises
theatregoers a minstrel performance
that shall be replete with clever come
dy, brilliant music, surprising and en-
tertaining specialties, and best of all,
the old-time minstrel songs and dar-
key characters Burnt-cOrk will cover
the faces of all the performers. The
big spectacular number of the enter
tainment is entitled 1.-The Evolution of
the Negro" 1t comes at the close of
the performance and comprises five
pictures, depicting a negro plantation,
old Kentucky home, emancipation and
the darkey heaven.
Georgia Campbell and Her Dog
Miss Georgia Campbell, who plays the
part of the dainty servant girl in the
Nixon & Zimmerman's production of
Miss Bob White" this year, is west
ern girl, hailing from a little town in
Kansas, where the mail trains do not
stop. Miss Campbell's fondest remem-
ORANGES of her home is her pet dog
Post" who was employed as mail
carrier by the town taking the sack of
mail to the postoffice from the plat
form on which it was thrown from the
train. At first the dog was taught to
help Miss Campbell by taking hold OF
one end of the bag, but afterwards the
dog was taught to bring in the big bag
alone. Miss Campbell stated that as
soon as the dog heard the mail train
whistle, he never mistook an express
or freight for that, he would hurry
down to the station to wait for the ar
rival of the mail, wagging his tail in
the most reassuring manner until the
mail clerk threw the bag off, when he
would pick it up very carefully by the
middle, so that neither end dropped on
the ground, and carried it safely to the
postoffice. Miss Campbell, minus
Post" will be seen at the Illinois to-
morrow night.
