HAMLET Is TREATED
AS SANE YOUNG MAN
Montaville Flowers in Impressive In
depreciation of Shakespearian
Character.

! Last night before a good house
Montaville Flowers appeared on
Augustana's lyceum platform for the
third time. He thoroughly pleased
his audience. His Interpretation Of
Hamlet was the best thing he has
ever given at Augustana. In the
giving of that great masterpiece he
not only entertains, but he leaves
something that is lasting with his
audience Last night he gave an
Interpretation which has cost him
eight years of hard labor Because
OF it's depth, difficulty of interpreta-
ton and length, readers and imper-
senators have not included Hamlet
in their repertory. During the last
20 years there have been only two
men. to Mr.. Flowers knowledge,
who have attempted the giving OF
Hamlet in one evening, viz: Senator
La Toilette of Wisconsin and Father
Stafford OF Washington. d. c., now
deceased Senator La Foilettes
presentation OF this work was more
in the form OF a philosophical treat
ise while Father Stafford's interpre-
tation was more in the form OF
lecture.
In his rendition Of this play Mr.
Flowers pictures Hamlet as young
man of 90 or q and not 80 or older
as he is usually considered. All
through the play Mr. Flowers at
tempted to bring forth that Hamlet
is not insane: that he is not dark
and gloomy character enshrouded in
mVsteFy as most are won't TO picture
him, but that he is perfectly sane
young man; that he is possessed OF
a great intellect and that he is using /
this great mind OF his TO battle /
against unchestity.

Had Penetrated Eye Ball but Sight
Is Preserved by Scientific
Appliances.

The fact that with the latest accom-

serious injury to the eye may be re-
gan, was demonstrated by an operation
performed by DIR. Louis Ostrom at his
office yesterday, when by means of a
magnet a piece of steel one-fourth of
an inch long and oneeighth of an inch
in thickness was removed from the
right eye of W. E. Bowers, an employe
of the VeIie Carriage company, Moline
The piece of steel, which was the point
of a cold chisel. had penetrated the

means that the sight will not be ser
iously impaired, if at all.

HEN AND A DRIVER
IN AN EXCITING RACE
Cackler Gets Away From Crate at
Express Office and Merry
Chase Ensues.

An express driver and a large Ply
mouth Rock hen put up race this
morning on Second avenue that set
a pace for the many candidates who
are running for Office under the new
form of government Mrs. Hen was,
CT rather should have been, in a
crate at the United States Express
company's Office. The driver, who
was handling her, allowed her to es-
cape in some way and with a fright
ened though joyous cackle she start
ed down the street. The driver took
after her at once and the hen put
on full speed. The driver used a
whip on her, trying to wind the lash
around her legs so as to stop her
mad career. Although there was a
string of feathers for half a block
west of the Office, the fugitive was
nevertheless still on the run. The
pursuer quit whipping the. hen and
applied himself to running her down.
BY this method he succeeded in get
ting close to her and she got fused
and ran into a doorway. The driver
dove in after her, but the hen slipped
neatly under his arm and was off
again. This was repeated al the next
doorway and this time the driver lit
orally blocked the whole doorway I'M
til he had his hands on the hen with
a tight grasp. He bore her back in
triumph while she cackled a siren
uous protest against the indignity of
being carried along by the legs with
her head hanging down

cashier of the First National bank of
Davenport.
But he has not bound himself 70
this institution and he is free to act
as he sees fit. The increase in sal
airy would hardly be a strong induce
ment for Mr.. Dawson to accept the
position. OF course, If he saw a,
chance to step into something that
would have a good future, | believe
he would take it and we would be
inclined to agree with him, at least
so far as he is personally concerned.
Every indication. however, is that
Mr.. Dawson intends coming to Dav-
export to settle. He has been elected
a director of this bank and l under
stand he is looking around for
look on most of those reports as mere
speculation"
Mr.. Dawson. if he locates in Dav-
will doubtless assume the re-
sponsibilities of president of the
First National bank about May l.
His term as congressman from the
Second district expires the latter part
of March. but it will take him the
length of time intervening to get set
tied.

a statement made this morning by

of these are scarlet fever and the
other is diphtheria. This is a most
unusual record at this time of the

are generally considered the health
