make the sun rise, he can at least
arouse the sleeping world from its
slumbers. Before the opening scene
is disclosed Miss Adams comes before
the curtain in her own person to de-
liver the ingenious prologue which
explains the absence of all humans
from the scenes that are to follow.
This prologue serves to kindle the
imagination so that when the curtain
does go up the audience views the
scene as through a magnifying glass.
By the resorting to the exaggeration
in size of inanimate objects the hens
and birds are made to appear no
larger than they really ought to be.
The four scenes are all massive and
the costumes are as is to be expected
both novel and picturesque. Seventy
people take part in the drama.

At High School

There never were a lot of attraI
tons appearing in the same plsce
without from somewhere a fortune
teller bobbing up. The management
of the high school frolic has already
received several applications for this
concession and one gypsy miss who
added her personal charm to a fiatter-
ing offer, has been awarded the sole
concession. Who the lady is, the man
agement refuses to announce but ii is
understood that she has been seen
here before. Her forecasts have a rec
ord of never failing. A little mystery
is added to the game as with her mag
ic touch she brings from somewhere a
message from the land of spirits and
transcribes 1t in letter form over your
signature before your very eyes. At
least, that is the way the lady de-
clares it will work. The fortune tell
ing miss is expected to prove one OF
the most popular side attractions at
the frolic at the high school April 10
and 20 which is to relieve the strin-
gency of the treasury of the high
school association.

AT THE GRAND.

The greatest theatrical novelty of
recent years, "Chantecler," Ros-
lands famous play, will be present
ed at the Grand, Davenport, next
Tuesday night by Charles Frohman.
The title role will be essayed by
Maude Adams, who has a larger pub
lie following than has any other wo-
man or man in this country. The
work has created more interest than
any other work given to the stage
in the memory of man. 1t possesses
distinct literary values; it's versifica-
ton flows freely and with distinct
charm, it is rich and clear in its
symbolism, contains humor that is
delightful and carries a glorious mes
sage to the world. Miss Adams en-
thusiasm over the work has been I'M
bounded and in the role of the cock
she has shown anew her fine artistic
talents. Man has no place in this
fantasy of the barnyard wherein all
of the characters are the birds, the
fowls and the animals of the farm.
Chantecler is the typical egoist,
young, ardent, inexperienced, who
thinks that the world could not get
along without him; that the sun
would not rise if he did not get up
and attend to It, Then he falls in
love with a charmer, a beautiful hen
pheasant typifying the modern wo-
man, who, by playing upon his van
ity, establishes such domination
over him that he is easily led to be
tray his most cherished secrets and
expose himself to the shock OF most
painful disbursement. Next he dis
covers that he is not the only cock
IN the world, that there are many
variations of his famous song and
that his high courage avails little
against the trained skill of an enc.
my. His experience shakes his faith
in himself and in his work, but in
the end he perceives that his chosen
mission, though not so alI-important
as he thought it, is yet honorable and
benefcient and that, if he cannot

SOLDIERS FUND
SHOW IS SUCCESS

Tonight at the Illinois theatre will
be repeated the feature entertainment
for the benefit of the Soldiers Monu-
ment fund that won the plaudits of
the audience last night from the ris-
ing of the curtain until the close of a
two hours show. Every feature on
the bill was excellently given.
Manager Klinck of the Illinois says
he is pleased to give patrons his per
mending this show as one of more
than ordinary merit, and stands ready
to refund the admission price to any
one who is not satisfied.
Mrs. Mae Riehards-Casey sang two
beautiful numbers. and Emil Hass of
Davenport gave two of his inimitable
representations, and both these popular
artists were given hearty applause.
Robert Rexdale easily scored a hit
in his two illustrated lecturettes on
Expose of the White Slave Traffic"
and Prison Life in the Ohio Peniten-
tiary." Both subjects were very ably
handled and the audience showed
their appreciation of the vital themes
discussed by applauding literally.
The Clarendon orchestra gave a
fine concert program, and the war
dramas in photo-play, "Old Man and
Jim," and Boots and Saddles were
put on by Professor Blakemore in an
artistic way.
The show will be repeated at the

terested in building a monument to

otto cause by attending. The prices
are only 10 and 25 cents.

HOME NINE
WINS GAME
YESTERDAY
Lively Play Lands the
Winning Score

The Virginia City baseball nine
came down from the hill yester-
day and brought with it a fine
bunch Of enthusiastic rooters,
both ladies and gentlemen. They
all came in good spirits and de
termined to win, They are good
sure players and know the game
and up to the last Of the ninth in
nng the game had been theirs all
the way through and at this time
the score stood s TO 2 in favor Of
the VISITORS The Carson boys
came to the bat with what appear
ed to be a hopeless chance, but
by good playing and the help Of
the rooters they surprised every
body by making six runs, which
tied the score. The tenth inning
was called and the lads from the
hill made two runs. The Carson
boys went to the bat with their
usual good playing when in
tight place and tailed three runs,
winning the game by one tallys
ten innings and a score of II to
10 in their favor.
The visitors seemed to have as
much sport after the game was
over as if they had won and took
the unexpected defeat good-na-
turedly. The Virginia nine is
composed of big, husky fellows
and they know how to play ball
and it was piece of luck at the
last moment more than anything
else that won the game for the
home boys. Anyway the Carson
boys took away the hOnors in
good and fair game. Another
game between these mines will be
looked forward to with interest.
There was a large crowd in at
tendance and they certainly Wit,
messed nice game and got their
worth.

SUGGESTIONS
FOR AUTO|STS

There mas been a suggestion
made and worthy one, too, that
the driving of autos within the
city limits should be put under
regulation and strictly enforced.
The suggestion is that auto driv-
ers should. under penalty, j. be
made in the first place, to regard
the Smile speed limit, which is
at present given practically no
attention. Then they should be
required TO use the proper side
of the street. and should not be
allowed to turn or cross on the
streets only at the end of the
block These are wise sugges-
tiOns and should be carried out.
Carson people, especially children
have thus far been very lucky in
not being injured or killed by
reckless and needless auto drivers
and II the present pace IS allowed
to cOntiue it is only matter OF
time when some bad accident will
occur.

filled the canyons led through the

passes through the city. A wall

PROPOSITION MADE IN COURT
At THE MORNING SESSION
Details Go Over Until Tomorrow
for Attorneys to Meet
ton for settlement made publ,
record.
The Amount

ton for settlement made public
record.
The Amount
Naturally the amount involved
is the interesting point in the case
AS to how much the Directors Of
the defunct institution are will
ing to raise in order to meet the
cash payment, was the question
in mind. 1t is stated among those
who are close to the inside that
the sum will be between $4,000
and $4,000, which, it is under
stood. depends largely on the at
titude of Tom Rickey. He, it is
rumored. refused to stand for a
larger sum, and there is com
promise within a compromise III
the case.
OF this amount, should it be re
ceived. just how much will find its
way to the depositors is hard to
state. There will be some large
attorney fees and other expenses
to be met and if there is tive-cent
dividend out of the sum secured
the depositorS will be in luck. 1t
seems to an outsider that it would
be a better policy to take this or
some other compromise as in the
end the entire sum recovered will
land in the Golfers of the attOr-
neys in the case. 1t is the first
move toward il real settlement
that has taken place since the suit
was instituted.
