Next Tuesday night at the foot Of
Main Street, promises to be notable
event, the occasion being the first
presentation in this city, by a show
boat, the great four act drama "The
Human Slave, the play that is set
ting all the country talking and is
creating Juror in the theatrical
circles. The Human Slave is drama
tization by Richard Mcclure, and is
SO different from the usual run of
plays that it leaves a distinct impress
sion Of it's own upon the mind of the
spectator. The story and theme are
new, there is an abundance of bright
dialogue, droll humor and the pathos
and sentiment of the play are not of
the artificial sort. The stage settings
are remarkably elaborate and many OF
the scenes are so well managed as
to receive hearty applause. The en-
gagement of 1.-THE Cotton Blossom
show boat promises to be record
breaker.
Quincy Wing: K line train No.
IL, due to arrive here at 1910 a. M,
was an hour and thirty-ive minutes
late yesterday on account of the fact
| that the left side of the frame of the
| locomotive broke when near Keokuk
That side of the locomotive was dis
connected and for miles there was
only one of the pistons working, the
train finally reaching Hannibal in that
condition. At La Grange, when an
other start was attempted the locomo-
tive refused to move, being shung on
center" in the parlance of the rail-
road men. 1t was then that the tele-
graph wires were utilized and one Of
| the freight engines from West Quincy
was sent to the rescue of the disabled
train. Besides the coaches the
freight engine brought the disabled
locomotive to Quincy, where it was re.
paired. 1t was on account of this
accident that X line train No. 8 from
Hannibal to st. Louis arrived thirty
minutes late.
Dogs without licenses will go the
gas route hereafter instead of having
a bullet put through their heads by the
blue coated officers who have been
using the CANNES for targets since the
/ middle of the month The large box
which will be the tomb of the unpaid
for dogs, has been completed and
fully dozen of the animals can be
1 placed in it at once. Yesterday after
noon the gas box was tried out but die
not prove satisfactory on account Of
some Of the gas leaking through the
| small cracks. A coat Of paint and ar
inside sheeting of tin will remedy
this defect however, and the dogs il
the pound thrust into the gas. Neigh
bors along Blondeau street between
Fifth and Sixth have complained Of
the dogs kept in the pound for forty
/ eight hours becoming too noisy fol
residents in that section of the cit,
to sleep soundly at nights. 1t is pos
sible that the city ordinance may BIZ
4 changed SO that the dogs will not BIZ
held forty-eight hours but the time
for holding them lessened. Yesterday
fifteen informations were filed agains
owners of dogs who have not yet paiC
their licenses.
