"THE MAN OF THE HOUR

The Illinois theatre will offer to
the theatregoers on next Sunday,
matinee and evening, the special pro-
duction of THE Man of the Hour"
from the pen of George Broadhurst
The same play ran for a year at the
Savoy theatre, New York city Ac-
cording to all reports received in
cities in which the play has been
presented the consensus of opinion
appears to be that it is a play of ex-
ceptionally strength, telling forcibly
a powerful dramatic story. While
Mr.. Broadhurst has taken for his CEN
trail theme the political situation as
it exists in nearly every great city in
the country, where there are machine
politics and graft, he has also inter
woven what is said to be delightful
love story. The particular graft that
MIR. Broadhurst has utilized is a
scheme on the part of the machine
boss and a shrewd financier to put a
bill through the council of the city
in which the action takes place, CIV
ing TO certain street railway per-
petual- franchise. The passage of
this bill will be a great pecuniary
gain to both parties. Election is near
at hand and in casting about for a
possible candidate for mayor, who
can be handled, young Alwyn Ben
nett, young man whose father has
left him large fortune is elected
as the most likely. The young man
is in love with the niece of the f1nan-
cier and she has told him that be-
fore she can promise to become his
wife he must prove himself worthy
and do something. The mayorality
is his opportunity. He accepts the
nomination and after a strong fight,
wins the election. The franchise bill
in the course of time passes the coun-
ell and comes to the mayor for his
signature. But Bennett. realizing
that it is a steal. refuses to sign it.
All kind of pressure is brought to
bear. and for a time it would appear
that his course will not only cost his
sweetheart her entire fortune, but
take her from him in the end. Strict
honesty proves the best policy, and
despite obstacles. which at tho TINA

ALLOWING BELT

Options Must Be Forthcom-
ing in Few Days.
COMMISSION NEEDS FUNDS
Rock Island Southern Promoters
Said to Be Waiting to Take
Advantage of Defaults.

Unless the Rock Island Industrial
commission makes some definite move
within the next few days, the much
agftated belt railroad. will be a thing
of memory. Options under which right
of way concessions were obtained from
owners of property fronting on First
avenue between Eleventh and Seven
teenth streets will expire the present
week
1t is up to the Industrial commission
to meet the promised payments for
right of way The Industrial commits
sion, it is understood, is without funds
to meet the payments. Therefore, it
would seem that if the people want to
conserve to the future the only indie
pendent opening to the west end fac
tory district, those who have thus far
failed to settle their booster fund obi
cations must do so, and without delay.
Ominous Silence of Southern.
The Industrial commission has secur-
ed First avenue options in the full eX-
pectation that by the time the money
for the right of way grants was needed
sufficient booster subscriptions would
have been paid to enable the commits
sion to conclude successfully its nego-
tiations with First avenue property
owners.
This is the situation as it stands to-
day. The silence of the Rock Island
Southern promoters is significant in
the face of the Belt line status. They
have been laying low for months, and
are prepared, il. is reported, to take ad-
vantage of any default on the First
avenue route. If the options are not
closed, the last vestige of the public's
rights on First avenue will disappear.
The Rock Island Southern will take up
the work where the people left off and
will gobble up the only uncontrolled
opening to the factory district.
OIL Combine Demand.
Last week a meeting of independent
oil producers was held in Chicago to
perfect an organization. .One of the
questions considered was location for
the head offices of the new combine.
Rock, Island has been favored, but it is
stated that the First avenue railroad
situation alone is lettering the oil men
in final decision. Developments here
are awaited, and it is announced that
unless there is provided an opening
along First avenue to all lines entering
here the new organization will drop
this city from further consideration as
the home of its proposed headquarters.

AT THE MAJESTIC, CHICAGO.
The bill at the Majestic theatre, Chi
cago, for the week of Oct. 2, contains
a surprising number of strong and di-
versified novelty acts, most of them
new to Chicago. Herbert Kelley and
Efie Shannon. who have occupied an
important position on the dramatic
stage for many years, will appear in a
new one-act play prepared with spe-
cial view to engaging their best tai
ents. Eddie Leonard, the greatest of
all the singing and dancing minstrels,
appears with that dainty soubrette,
Mabel Russell, in his new entertain
ment involving some Of the best song
and dance steps he has ever devised.
The Great Auroras come from tri-
umphal career in England to present
an extraordinary cycling act which in
cludes feats never before attempted;
as an example of their skill, four men
on wheels support a platform on which
other members of the company perform
surprising evolutions. The ever-pop-
ular Lottie Williams will appear in Ed
mund Days sterling playlet entitled
ION Stony Ground" which sounds theo-
logical but in fact is intensely dramatic
and interesting. Smith and Campbell,
the real comedians, will play their con-
vuIsingly humorous sketch, Camping
Out" which includes some of the best
character comedy work ever seen on
the Majestic stage. Among the other
big acts will be that of the Morati
opera troupe, grand opera artists, in
medley of popular selections delivered
in setting of appropriate scenery and
costumes. Lopez and Lopez in the
Act Beautiful" Belle Baker in songs.

Christian religion, the brightest
thoughts of a brilliant young play
wright with the cleverest concep-
lions of master producer; and this
combination in turn is given to
specially chosen cast of we'll known
players who have caught the spirit
of the play and its sponsors. From
the rise of the first curtain to the
beautiful tableaux at the end of the
piece every person in the case ceases
TO be a part of the modern civi1iza-
ton and harks back to the strife and
jealousieS of paganism and the glor-
les of a new faith with a sincerity
and conviction that quickly engulfs
their audience in the intricate
meshes of the play and holds them
fast and willing prisoners. Added
TO the evident sincerity of the play
and its unquestioned dramatic worth
there is the glitter and splendor of
production and costuming possible
only in presentations of that period.
In this respect The Light Eternal
is a close approach to absolute per-
lection. The magnificent equipment
used during the long run at the Ma
JSSIlc theatre, New 1Orh CITY, is neld
intact, and the drama is given with
every detail and adjunct that served
TO make it an immediate and popu-
lar success on Broadway. Miss
Eugene Blair and George A. Lessey
are entrusted with the two principal
parts and are supported by COM
pany numbering some 80 people,
making one of the largest dramatic
organizations on tour.

THIRD DEGREE" AT McVIcKER's.


Henry B. Harris production, The
Third Degree" is filling McVicker's
theatre, Chicago. where it is being
played for the first time at popular
prices. The gripping story of police
cruelty has captivated the fancy of the
McVicker audiences and the play has
been drawing immense crowds at this
historic theatre. Like all of the Charles
Klein plays, this story of love, sacrifice
and oppression is a tilt at one of the
windmills which stand in the progress
of humanity toward it's ultimate goal
the cruelties of the third degree in po-
lice examinations as practiced in Amer
lea. The protest is a vivid and actual
lesson against the vicious system of
police methods and it must in time as
sist in materially altering the process
of criminal investigation. Mr.. Harris
has given the play a splendid produc-
ton and fine company to interpret the
Klein roles.
One of the promising events of the
year at McVicker's will be the engage

WILL PETITION COURT
FOR A NEW DITCH
Residents OF the County Will
Ask for Appointment of
Engineer to Survey
Route

A movement is now on foot by a
number of our prominent citizens
that will in all probability result in
the establishment of a ditch in this
county beginning on. James Creek
road in the Mays neighborhood and
ending about ten miles from the
place of beginning into Black river
south of Pocahontas. This ditch
will be large one if constructed
and will drain at least 200, 900
acres of land a distance of three
miles on each side of the ditch
which will be at least ten miles long.
The petition which will be pre-
sented to the county conrt is signed
by owners of real estate and citizens
within the territory known as "Lit-
tie Running Water" in this county
and asks that the court appoint an
engineer to lay out and locate the
proposed ditch to begin at or near
the southwest corner of section
seven in township eighteen, north of
base line in range two, east and to
run in a southeasterly direction,
following as near as practical the
main channel of "'Little Running
Water" across township eighteen,
north range one, east, to where Lit
tie Running Water empties into
Black river in section thirty-six in
township eighteen, north of the
base line in range one west.
The petitioners have bond pre-
pared which they will present to
the court conditioned as required by
the statute to pay. all costs in the
event the proposed ditch is not es-
tablished.
This petition will no doubt meet
with the approval of the court as
there is vast amount of land that
will be improved along the route of
the proposed ditch if it is establish
ed. AS conditions now exist some
of the land in that vicinity is almost
worthless at the present time.
