DANIEL BOONE COMING.

Daniel Boone on the Trail comes
to the Illinois theatre next Thursday.
1t is a romantic story of the pioneer
days of Kentucky. This is new pro-
duction throughout. The Daniel Boone
Amusement company has gone into
every detail to make this production
lasting one. Captain Harry Hamilton
has been engaged to play the part of
Daniel Boone because of his striking
appearance and figure and the captain
falls easily into the role of this famous
hunter. Another engagement worthy
of note is Bounding Elk, the only ciev-
err Indian actor on the American stage
today He needs no makeup for his
part. save the head dress and blanket.
One of the most exciting scenes OF
the drama is the snow storm in the
mountains, and the coming of the hun
CRY wolves. This scene is worked be-
hind a large screen curtain that sepa-
rates the audience from the stage, as
real monstrous savage wolves are used
in this scene. The falling of the snow,
the burning of the last stick of wood,
the coming of the wolves and Boone's
fight for life with them in full view of
the audience. The Daniel Boone
Amusement company has also added a
number of full biooded Sioux Indians
to the play.

SCHOOL KIDS ARE FUNNY.

An act with real fun, good music
and clever dancing is on view at the
Majestic theatre for the first half of
the week. The skit is a merry one
act musical farce called Examination
Day" In it are nine lively young peo-
pie, four boys and five girls. Working
against the handicap of being forced
to play without their stage clothes, ow-
ing to the failure of their baggage to
arrive, the school kids made a hit be-
fore a big audience yesterday after
noon The remainder of the bill con-
sists of a fine tumbling comedy act, a
German dialect monologue and a sing
ing comedy act with scenes laid in
Japan This act is very attractively
costumed and though not partic-
ularly funny, managed to please all.
Mrs. Casey sings Down Where the
Daisies Bloom and the moving pic
lures are instructive insofar as they
reveal the real troubles of the moving
picture man.

Money boxes TO encourage thrift
among the penny wise are ancient and

clay wherein boys put their money to

of all ages had his money box of some
sort or another. OF late years tin has
been the favorite material. but the
writer has recollections of an elaborate

which the money was dropped through

Board of Review.
Fight is Ignored.

1t will be noticed that the board has
again assessed the capital stock of the
various corporations in the county and
has ignored the fight that the corpora
tions are making against such levy.
Last year, for the first time, an as
sessment on stock was made and at
once legal objections were raised and
even now there are more than score
of applications for injunction pend
ing in the circuit court in which the
corporations are seeking to enjoin the
county officials from enforcing pay
ment of the levy. The hearings on the
applications are to come up at this
term of court, and if they are granted
it will mean that the same course of
action will be pursued against the as
sessments made this year. Just how
much money the assessment will add
to the county treasury is not known. as
few of the corporations paid last years
assessments. preferring to fight rather
than do so.
