COLLIER MARRIES
LEADING WOMAN
Comedian, Divorce, Denied
Rites of the Episcopal
Church.
HAS MADE ARRANGEMENTS
Pastor of st. Johns Methodist Con-
gregation Comes to Rescue
Bride n Young Widow.

William Morenus, otherwise William
Collier, comedian, and Pauline Mari
member of his company appearing
in "a Lucky, STAR" were married in
Davenport yesterday afternoon. Rev.
]. A Burchit performing the ceremony
at the parsonage of st. Johns Metho,
dist church.
Collier had made telephone arrange
ments to have the service read by
Dean Marmaduke Hare of Grace Epis-
copal cathedral, but when the bridal
party reached the rectory and the
groom-elect stated he was a divorce
he was advised to take his afffanced
to the pastor of q church OF different
denomination, as marriage under such
circumstances was contrary to the
laws of the Episcopal faith. However.
Dean Hare is an admirer of Mr. Col
lier as an actor, as was evidenced by
his attendance at his performance at
the Grand opera house last evening.
Bride n Widow.
Albert E. Morgan and Hilma Fink,
professional friends, were witnesses of
the marriage. Collier gave his age as
40 and his residence at st. James, Long
Island, and the bride said she was &c
and that her home was in New York
City. The bride stated that she had
been married before, but that her first
husband was dead. The groom, who
was christened Morenus, explained he
had been known by his stage name of
Collier since he was years of age.
His parents both were theatrical per-
formers.
Pauline MARI, handsome, lithsome
brunette, has been in the chief support
of Collier upwards of a year. Their
engagement to marry was announced
a few months ago while the company
was playing in New York City Few
people in the audience at the theatre
last evening understood that Collier
and Miss MARI were the parties to the
announced in the afternoon
papers, inasmuch as the name Morenus
instead of Collier had been given.
However, the cat was let out of the
bag when the orchestra struck up
wedding march during
a curtain call for Collier at the end of
the second act.
Has Clever Play.
The play, "a Lucky STAR is one of
the cleverest things in which Collier
has been seen since he has been ap-
pearing at the head of his own COM
Dany with Charles Frohman as his
manager The dialogue is smart. and
With Collier, polished and natural
actor, for its chief exponent, it early
aIouses the enlightened auditor, and
S a continuous laugh producer. The
company was of the Froh-
nan standard. and the staging was
elaborate and complete in detail. |
There was large attendance to greet |
Collier and his company.

ter as a fertilizer. Reduction, while
very successful in many American
cities, is hardly practical for a city of
this size. There is not enough refuse
to make it pay. Cremation or incin-
Grafton is today considered the most
popular method, especially as all forms
of refuse can be destroyed, such as
garbage, rubbish, offal, manure. night
soil, dead animals and ashes. These
are burned under a high temperature
in an inciuerator which is large brick
or metal furnace with a high chimney
to carry of the odor. The operating
expenses are small, from 25 to 80 cents
per ton. Practically no other fuel is
needed other than the refuse to be
burned. In some cities the steam
generated therefrom is used to electri-
fy the streets, buildings, run pumps,
engines. etc. There is no odor or
other Objectionable features about a
properly managed incinerator, and in
a number of cities 1t is situated in the
business district without causing any
complaint. According to statistics for
last season. we collected six tons OF
garbage per day, or 1921 tons for the
five months, at cost Of $401.S0 per
month, or $1.60 per ton. What we
need is an incinerator built in a GEN.
trail location, for instance at the foot
of Twenty-fourth street on the river
bank. This would make the haul cen
trail for all the garbage and rubbish
wagons. The cost of a 20 to 25 ton
capacity per day incinerator, which is
the size needed here, would be be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. Therefore
urge that committee be appointed
this year to investigate this important
matter and that provision be made in
next years appropriations for such
plant.
Danger from Surface Wells.
The peculiar situation of this city
on a rock base with natural drain
age above accounts for the unanimous
reports of the contamination of the
surface wells. This is especially true
of those wells west of Thirtieth street
These surface wells drain filth and
sewage from the surroundings and are
a constant source of danger. Only
water from those wells drilled in to |
deep rock should be used for drinking |
purposes.

THE MERRY WIDOW"
The offering at the Illinois theatre
Friday evening will be Henry w.
Savage's New York production of THE
Merry Widow" Seldom have play
goers been invited to look at play
so beautifully costumed, so handsome
ly staged and so brilliantly cast as
1.-THE Merry Widow" The scenery and
costumes are exquisite. The stage
management, under George Marion,
has been so highly praised that he is
now regarded as the very first among
the creators of beautiful stage pictures.
1t is safe to say that the work of THE
Merry Widow" company has never
been excelled in an American light
opera production. The tableau at
is one of the prettiest stage
pictures on the stage today.

The Same Old Story.
Well, George, of course you can
imagine the state of the feelings Of
the poor kid constable. He didn't have
any more idea than a rabbit where he
was going out to buy cows. He didn't
have the price to buy cows, anyhow,
and If you ever tried to borrow cows
in Colfax, Wis, you will understand
why he shrank from borrowing them.

they parted, and the sweet singer was

was on his uppers. It was the same
