Ferris, formerly with the old Silver
Crescent, that was re-made into the
Black Hawk, was to be master of the
local packet, Captain William Dipple
who has been captain Of the boat for
several years, having retired and has
become superintendent of the river
district of the Interstate Sand Co.,
with headuartersq in Davenport
It is known that Mr., Mckenzie has
just returned from st. Louis with a
masters license, having passed sue
cessfully the examination required OF
those DESTROYS of securing river cap
taincy. Pilot Mckenzie has been on
the river number of years and has
many friends here who would be glad
to see him placed in command Of the

yainIy to be allowed to plead guilty
to charge of obtaining money un-
der false pretenses,' and to have the
cases settled that way. The govern

based on the fact that the moulds set

an impression, even on wax, is tech

The Theatre
MADAME SHERRY TONIGHT.

Because everyone all over the coun-
try is humming, singing or whistling
some numbers of the score of the big
sensational musical success, Madame
Sherry" to be presented at the Illinois
theatre tonight, the impression is cur
rent in some quarters that the prOduc-
tons charm is in greater part musical.
Report says that the mirth qualities
of the play are no less engaging than
its score. The love of a man for
maid under odd circumstances, love of
the soulful, romantic sort, love that
blossoms in the heart of youth and
fourishes as true love ever does, when
things do not go smoothly, is the reign
ing spell of the production, according
TO report, but this love, this courtship,
is so beset on so many sides, and at
tended by so many misadveutures, that
while itself remaining an appealing in
terest, all its accessory situations
arouse amusement. Some idea of the
fun developed may perhaps be cleaned
by q summary of the character of the
play which besides the lovers include
an Italian house janitor, his Irish wife,
a lively fun-loving actress. a New York
man about town, an excitable Venezu-
elan. an amusingly whimsical uncle Of
the maid in love. and others. including
the pupils of a dancing school and the
guests of a yachting party.

face of positive orders by her physi-

she must spend at least year in the

that under no circumstances must

her song-writing husband that she
was homesick for Chicago and hubby.
Pleadings by Howard that she heed

Howard ordered a special car and
had it equipped with every luxury
