MOLINE

Postal Receipts Grow.-The postof-
flee receipts are growing. Postmaster
Eastman shows figures proving that
the gain in postal receipts for the year
of the Moline Office will amount To
$S,207.76. The total receipts for the
year 1906 are S73,6SS.59, the greatest
of the local office. In 1905 the total re-
ceipts were SG5, ,4S0.S5. which places
the gain of 1906 at 12.5 per cent over
1905 receipts. At this pace it will not
take long before the Moline office re-
ceipts will be 100000 annually. For
the past eight years there has always
been an increase but no year has
made as good a showing as the year
of 1906 did over that of the previous
year.

Not an Ordinary Romance.-A play
which has no parallel, either in con-
ception, treatment, or interest, is I'm
the Bishops Carriage" Charming Pol
locks dramatization of Miriam Michel
sons widely read story. which will be
presented by one of Liebler & Co. S
strongest organizations at the Illinois
theater Sunday. Jan. G. This drama
proves again the power of the influ-
ence of love. but it is in no sense an
ordinary romance. The heroine is not
what the average man would call q
beautiful character, or one whom he
would select to preside over his house
and home. In fact. she was thief,
and very clever and unrepentant one
at that. Only at the end of the play
does she exhibit to any degree those
qualities of mind and heart which are
at the fireside. For nearly
four acts she is lawless and headstrong
but fascinating in a remarkable de-
gree. 1t was this fascination which
won the love of a wealthy and socially
prominent young man who braved the
verdict of his friends and the public
by taking so deep an interest in her
that finally she saw the error of her
ways and turned to a new life. The
very difficult role of Nance Olden, the
thief. is played by Jessie Busley.

cleverly interviewer into a most inter-
esting story possessed of an unusual
degree of novelty. In the conception
of the tale, selection of characters and
originality of situations, Mr. Cohan has
shown the same remarkable genius
for getting together novelties and sur
prises that was noticeable in his popu-
lar Little Johnny Jones'" The entire
book and lyrics are his own. as well
as the music. and in addition he is said
TO have cast the piece and rehearsed
the company personally. The story is
told in three scenes, the locale of

The scenes represent the exterior of
the Castleton mansion in the morning;
the drawing room of the same in the
evening, and the railroad station the
next morning. Corinne plays the role
of Plain Mary, a servant in the Castle
ton household, a character unique in
its conception. giving to Corinne
excellent opportunities for the display
of her versatility, as there are several
situations in which she is reported TO
have shown considerable emotional
power. Revolving around Mary in the

HEAVY TRAFFIC ON

One OF the most notable signs OF
the times in this section OF the state
is the great increase In business on
the Virginia and Truckee railroad.
Every train, local or express, i'm
coming or outgoing. bears a heavy
burden of passengers and the local
always draws a big consignment Of
freight.
When the Hazen cutoff was con-
structed a few years ago. and the
traffic from Tonopah and the other
southern camps diverted from the
v. & T. it was thought that the To-
cal line had suffered an irreparable
blow. But it is safe to say that few
roads in the country are proportions
ately as prosperous.
Many things have contributed to
this state of affairs. Small mining
districts have sprung up along the
line of the road; the Carson valley
country is being rapidly opened uI
and Virginia City and Gold Hill are
experiencing marked revival.
1t is not very long ago, just pre-
vious to the discovery of Tonopah
that a moot question was whether
the V. & T. would not take the loca
off, and some pessimists talked
about the management tearing VI

faction that anyone who has his work

but this side of San Francisco. We
can turn out all kinds of work that
is demanded in the offices of lawyers,
brokers, promoters, mining compan-
les, or for any other kind of business,
and we guarantee satisfaction in
every respect. One trial will be sufti-
cient to establish the truth of this
statement, 1t pays to go where only
the best kind of work is done, and
it pays to patronize home industry.
