co. A FALLS SHORT
OF NEW REQUIREMENT
Mus Have Minimum Strength of SO to
Receive Allotment of Congress
sionai Appropriation.

Company A, Illinois National Guard,
of this city will either have to secure
Is recruits to make the number of
members the required minimum
strength by the new regulation, or lose
the congressional appropriation, and
possibly disband The company at
present numbers but 40 men, and while
the company is one of the best in the
state as far as knowledge of tactics
and the character of the men is con-
ceTned. the membership is far below
the requirement fixed this week The
militia companies must number SO
men as the minimum strength, or they
will not receive an allotment of the
congressional appropriations.
Captain Dunavin has not received of
fetal notice of the new rule, and no
action has been determined on by Com
pany A. 1t is hoped that the company
will not be compelled to disband as a
result of inability to meet the require
ments in membership.

COLD KILLS THE GERM.
Lieutenant Peary Says There Are no
Bald Heads in the Arctic REGIONS.

The people who come back from
Klondike testify to the fact that no
native bald heads are there The evil
dence is that the cold climate kills the
germs that eat the hair off at the root.
Lieutenant Peary, who went to the
Arctic regions, gives the same evil
dence. Newbro's Herpicide has the
same effect as the cold climate. 1t
kills the germ that eats the hair off at
the roots, and the hair grows again.
Herpicide is the first hair remedy built
upon the principle of destroying the
germ that eats the hair Off It's phe-

created such furore in Europe that
it will be heard simultaneously in six
continental music centers this season.
The coming of the opera to the Illinois
theater, Chicago, for two weeks, COM
mencing Monday, JAN 81, will be an
occasion of great musical moment, not
only because it is the first production
of the opera there but the first oppor-
tunity to hear the celebrated singers
who have provoked such enthusiastic
comment in the east The production
is made by Henry w. Savage, who has
enjoyed 10 years of continued success
with grand opera repertoire in Eng
fish. AS the climax of his activity in
this direction, he has centered his eff
forts in the formation of special COM
pany for the exclusive presentation of
Madam Butterfly" In its organiza-
ton he was greatly assisted by Walter
Rothwell, the Vienna conductor and
pupil of Gustav Mailer, and by the
composer Puccini himself, who person
ally recommended several of the prima
donnas The organization is composed
of nearly $50 persons 1t includes
three sets of principals. a complete
chorus and an orchestra of go must
clans. This latter feature is notable
in itself. Different casts on different
nights are required for the interpreta-
ton of the opera on account of the
difficult character of the music. Six
prima donnas and half dozen leading
male singers will alternate from even
ing to evening in the principal roles.
One of the prima donnas is of foreign
birth and five are native born Ameri-
can singers. One of the foreign art
lists is Eliza Szamosy, whose success in
the title role of Madam Butterfly"
when offered at the Royal opera at
Budapest, Hungary, led to Puccini's
recommendation that she be engaged
by Mr. Savage for his American pro-
duction of the opera. The five Ameri-
cans include Miss Florence Easton.

our citizens and those of surrounding

pecially to hear the beautiful Madam

Bingham did not disappoint her audi
ence at the Illinois Saturday evening
She was fully as charming as she had
been represented, and she was support
ed by actors and actresses of a high
order of talent. The only possible crit
icism that might be offered is that Miss
Bingham dominates the play too COM
pletely-there is not sufficient oppor-

1.-THE Social Whirl."-Ada Lewis is
starring in The Social Whirl," and
according to all reports she is making
a success of it. She is said to have
an inimitablly funny manner. and with
the clever lines which have been given
her, she is said to be enough to make
the proverbial dog laugh. In her first
entrance in The Social Whirl," she
sails into the room and stands over a
hot-air register. What the hot air does
to her clothes and her own acting of
this scene combine to- make it excruci-
atingly funny. After this escapade she
is asked whether she says her prayers
when she goes to bed, TO which she re-
plies in her peculiar way, Yes, if it's
a folding one" When asked if she
was ever in love, her reply is that she
has no bad habits. Altogether, she is
fine, and supported by a good company
and in a good play, as she will be at
the Grand in Davenport, Jan. II. She
will be worth while.

Friday of this week, IN this city, and
the chief question will be the consid-
GRAFTON of a proposition from the
Central Union, or Bell interests, to
retire from the local field and re-
restrict its activity to the long-dis-
lance business. William l.. Maelle-
rine, president of the district and

that the proposition would be dis

ded, Sit is of such widespread inter-

and many meetings to settle it.
THE Bell interests have made a
proposition to the independents. We
have made none to them, and before
their proposition is accepted, we will
know the full situation in its bearings
on the Independents all over the
state. The independents of Ohio,
