Andrew Stever Killed by Fall
From Walk.
Body Found in Ravine Near
Washington Avenue Mon
day Morning.

The body of Andrew Stever,
an old resident of the city, was
found in the ravine near Wash
ington avenue early Monday
morning by workmen on their
way to the mills. The coroner
was notified and after arriving
upon the scene the body was re-
moved to the home on Pine street.
It is said that Stever had been
drinking some during the night
1t is thought that he accident
ly slipped and fell over the rail-
ing along the sidewalk near the
Brick building. In falling Mr..
Stever evidently struck his head
against some hard substance
with the result that he died from
Conclusion of the brain. Others
think that he was knocked un-
conscious by the fall and that he
smothered to death, his nose and
mouth being buried in the soft
earth. At the place where Mr..
Stever fell, the walk is about
eight feet off the ground.
The funeral was held from the
Swedish Mission church yester-
day afternoon. Rev. Chr. Chris
tiansen of the Nor wegian Luther
an church officiating. Interment
took place in the Protestant GENE
terry.
Mr.. Stever, was almost sixty
five years of age at the time of
death. He has been a resident
of this city for the past twenty
two years. He is survived by a
son and daughter, besides a
number of other relatives.

Phillips, Wis, May 80, 1910

Phillips, Wis, May 80, 1910.
Judge John K. Parish has
been holding court here this
week. He called in Judge E. B :.
Belden of Racine to try the case
of John Ell. Schweikert VS. John
r. Davis Lbr. 20. while he him
self was trying the case of Ed
ward Kindinger VS. Behnke Bros.
The jury brought in a verdict of
$4,000. 90 in the Schweikert case
for personal injuries which he
received while working on the
defendants logging railroad.
The defendant corporation fled
an affidavit that Judge Parish
was prejudiced so Judge Belden
tried it. Schweikert had his leg
crushed growing out of some de-
fective appliances on the lum Der
company's railroad. The injury
is permanent. The Kindiger
case grew out an explosion of the
boiler which Kindiger furnished
in his mill which he rented to
the Behnke Bros. Kindiger sued
for $1,000. 90 and the Behnke
Bros. put in a counterclaim
for $4,000 claiming that the
boiler which Kindinger furnish
ed them was defective but the
jury found that the Engineer
Plunket, allowed the water to
become too low in the boiler
which caused the explosion.
Plunket was killed at the explo-
sion which happened about a
year ago. Kindinger received a
verdict for $4,000. This last
mentioned case took longer to
try than any other civil jury
case tried in this county. It
took ten days to take the evidence
and it took the jury nearly a dav
to decide it. there being twenty
six questions to answer. This
is the first time that courts were
engaged in trying jury cases in
any other county in the state ex-
cept Milwaukee. While Judge
Eschweiler was trying case in
Medford, his opponent John
Klerst whom he defeated by only
fourteen votes had just finished
the trial of a case here.

Commercial Club Enjoys q
Feast.
Over a Hundred Of the Club
Members and Their Friends
Join.

One of the most elaborate ban
quets ever given in this city was
that which was enjoyed by the
mem bers OF the Commercial Club
and their friends at the Hotel
Washburn last Monday evening.
There were over a hundred pres
ent, and the five course dinner
was one of the best ever given at
the hotel. The management of
the entire affair has been in the
hands of John Gautschi, who also
contributes the money to pay
for it. The entire amount over
a hundred dollars, is given by
Mr.. Gautschi from the profits on
cigars sold at the Club rooms
during the past five years. The
music for the occasion was far
nished by the Bergman orches-
ira. Mrs. Petersen of the hotel
had everything arranged in first
class shape and took care of the
large crowd well. Mr.. Gautschi
enj0EIes the distinction of being
one of the most popular men in
the city and this new exhibition
of his generosity and fellowship
increases his popularity.

room and Bed room furniture. This
goes to show that Washburn goods

TO PATRONS OF THE PLAY.

Repeatedly patrons of the theatre
are asking The Argus to pass advance
Judgment on attractions booked at the
Illinois; In other words, to say wheth-
er the play is to be presented here
with the same cast and mounting as
were employed during the New York
or Chicago runs. II should be under
stood that rarely the smaller cities see
the performers engaged during the
runs in the larger producing centers.
In the majority of instances the names
of the people In the cast are not dis
closed until the program Is seen on
the night Of the performance. The Ar
gus ordinarily is as much in the dark
as others az to the real merit of
coming production unless the person
mel of the cast is made known in ad-
vance. Therefore, 1t is rarely that The
Argus can answer satisfactorily the
questionines of pIaygoers. They must
judge for themselves, taking into ac-
count the standing of the owner of the
attraction. That is about as safe a
guide as we know Of. However, we
know that the management of the H.
IInoIs has good offerings in store for
the current season. The Illinois Is
aIiqned with the independents. The
trI-cIties is fighting territory as between
the independents and the syndicate.
The Independents are sending here
their best attractions In the full conf
dence that they will be. patronized.
The box office record Of the Illinois
theatre the present season will deter
mine its future, we are Informed. If
the better class Of plays are supported
they will be continued here. II they
are not, the city will be dropped into
the next class lower. 1.-THE Kissing
Girl" an operatIo comedy owned by
the cort Theatre company, Is to be
offered at the Illinois this evening.
To patrons Of the play we can heartily
recommend this attraction, having witt
messed the performance In Moline Sat
urday evening. If you wish for clean
and pretty entertainment, singing by
people who know how to sing, and re-
freshina comedy, you will make no
nnIstake In going to the Illinois tonight.
Unfortunately, the title "KlssIng Girl"
Is a n1isnomer. It gives the impress
sion of "fastD entertainment. 1t is any
thinq but that. It's worth seeing.

THE LIQUOR DRINKER
AND HIS BUSINESS
Absolute Importance of His Brain
Being Cleared Up.


1t is frequently very important
that a person under the influence of
alcoholic stimulants should become
sober as soon as possible. Business
affairs may be neglected during the
period of drunkenness. and it often
devolves upon friends of the habitual
drunkard to assist him to possession
of an unclouded brain and clear in
tellect and see to it that his appear
ance is at least respectable. Exper-
fence has taught that no institute
extant other than the Neal institute
in Davenport, at S21 Farnam street,
has ever been successful in treating
in less than four weeks
time. 1t makes no difference how
long a man has been drinking, how
much or little he drinks. or what
he drinks, the Neal treatment has
never failed to cure in three days
time and without the use of dan
gerous injections or Injurious drugs.
Just bear in mind that there is no
such thing as a secret cure" for
drunkenness and you are taking
great risk in administering these
remedies.

"THE sPENDTHRIE.s

One of the elements of the success
of The Spendthrift," the play which

skillful manner of it's presentation.

bines the gifts OF stage management
and stage direction, possessing each
to q rare degree. No one is acknowl-
edged his superior in the casting of a
play and it is claimed he has never
selected a company with better judg-
ment than was displayed in the ap-
portionment of the roles in THE
Spendthrift.' The characters are all
