POII's

For good clean fun-and barrels of it-no play of recent years has made greater name for itself than Seven Days the great iaugh-maHer which is appearing at PolPs theatre this week.
 To begin with, Seven Days,,i is marked by originality; it gets entirely out of the beaten track of comedies Then the author has built ilp 2 series of situations that for pure comedy are without a peer in recent stage pro- ductions The play is based on the adventures of a house party of people who become .'marooned" in the center of a big city by the discovery that the Jap butler has the smallpox. The board of Health puts a quarantine on the house and the guests find themselves shut in and cut off from the outside world for week. :. are the most oddly assorted pairs maginable-such. for instance, as a poHceman and burglar; a divorced man, his former wife, a young wom- an who pretends to be his wife and opposed to divorce; and many other 8uests who help to make the fun come without stopping from beginning to end. f If laughter is a cure for ills. then Seven Days'' will put the doctors in Bridgeport out of business.
 Local theatregoers will be particu-' laEly interested this week in the ini- tial appearance with the Poli Players of Miss Ida Adair. the beautifdl and talented new leading woman who has taken her place with the company. Miss Adair comes to Bridgeport with a most brilliantly successful record as a leading lady in stock and legitimate productions and is sure to become great favorite with discriminating theatregoers who understand and ap- preciate truly artistic acting.
 the reception which follows the mat inee performance on Thursday. The entire audience is invited to take part, and to meet the members of the ca st of "Seven Days" Refreshments will be served.

CURSES RESCUER
Junk Dealer Starts to Drive

PAYS NO HEED TO WARNING
Workman Gets Rig Out of Danger
and Is Soundly Berated for
His Pains.

After being saved from certain
death underneath the wheels of a
freight train, which was laundering
down upon him as he was driving his
wagon across the railroad tracks at
Fist avenue and Nineteenth street
yesterday afternoon, a junk man,
whose name could not be learned
turned around and expressed his
gratitude by soundly cursing his res
cuer for interfering with his bust
ness.
UNAWARE OF DANGER.
The near accident occurred yester-
day about 1870. A freight engine
with a good sized string of cars was
getting up speed preparatory to max
ing a flying switch and was approach
Ing from the west at a speed Of near
ly 20 miles an hour. At this Juno
ture, the rag man without glancing
TO me side or the other, started to
drive across the tracks. Fred Gall,
foreman Of the Rock Island Sand &
Gravel company, who was directing a
force OF men on the river bank, per-
ceiving the mans danger. ran to the
spot. waving his arms and shouting
a warning, but the driver paid no
attention.
JERKS HORSE FROM TRACK.
Seeing that his cries were unheed-
ed Gall rushed up and seizing the
horses head, jerked the animal back
on the track. Just as the engine
Numbered by. AS a reward for his
act. Gall then received a genuine
bawling out, and was profanely ad-
vised 70 mind his own business and
keep his hand of other peoples
horses.

BURIED COFFIN IS
FOUND AT A FARM

To put stop to gossip, which said
that a dead man was buried under
the spot on which he is starting to
build a house, Meigs Ericsson, a
farmer living on the old William
Montgomery land in Edgington
township, came to Rock Island to-
day and hunted up Coroner ]. F.
Rose in order to have an examina-
ton made.
1t seems that while excavating for
his cellar, Ericsson and his co-work-
ers located what seemed to be the
end of a coffin, very much rotted
away. The presence of the decaved
wood, however, together with what
was assuredly a coffin handle found
close by, led the men to believe that
they had run across a buried BODY,
AS the cellar did not require it, the
whole spot was not excavated and
the result was that whisperings COM
menced that all was not right.
Coroner Rose after hearing the
facts declined to even take the trou-
bic to investigate and assured Mr..
Ericsson that he need have no hest
fancy in going ahead with his build
ing.

PULLS OFF A DAY.
LIGHT ROBBERY
Dominick Gillespie, 1t Is Aleg-
ed, Rids F. E. Bowker Of
So in Silver Money.
HELD UNDER $1,000 BONDS
Admits to Officer Ken That He Stole
Coin but Denies Guilt at His
Hearing.

Arrested on a charge Of highway
robbery, Dominick Gillespie of this
city was held TO the grand jury under
bonds Of $4,000, the complaining wit
ness against him being Frank E. Bow
ker of South Rock Island The alleg-
ed robbery occurred late yesterday
afternoon, according TO witnesses,
while Bowker was in the alley in the
rear of the Industrial Home building
at Twenty-first street and Third ave-
nue.. Bowker was lined up against the
wall while Gillespie dug into his peck
cts and hauled forth IS in silver.
While Gillespie was at the job, George
V. Christ, a carpenter who was work
ing nearby, espied him, and yelling at
him to desist started for him, but
was too late TO stop the theft. Gil
lespie, deciding that he had better go
while the going was good, gave Bow
ker his cap for a keepsake and took
Bowkers hat instead of his cap.
SAYS HE STOLE 1T.
Hiking to the Haley booze emporium
at 23O Twenty-first street, Gillespie
bought a few drinks. When Officer
Kell came along, Dominick invited him
70 join him in a little liquid refresh
ment. The officer, noting that Giles
pie had money, asked him If he had
had pay day and started out on a.
spree. Gillespie, well under the wealth
er, replied that he had stolen the
money. The officer advised him to go
home.
Completing the tour of his beat, he
found Bowker, dead to the world, ~
Ing in the alley. He learned of the
robbery, and because of the cap on
Bowker's head, knew whom he wanted
for the job. Ne arrested Gillespie in
the Haley saloon.
At the hearing this morning, Bow
ker and Christ swore that Gillespie
had taken the money. Dominick de-
clared his innocence in emphatic
terms, though he did modify his asser-
ton of innocence by saying if he took
The money he must have been guilty.
Gillespie was recently released from
the Peoria workhouse, where he serv-
ed a term for burglary and larceny.
Assistant States Attorney P. R. Ingel-
son prosecuted this mornings case.

Henry L. Weber was found lying

had evidently made a vain attempt
to reach the table to partake of his
MONDAY repast, and had fallen down
in dying condition, as the coffee
pot was overturned and the dead
man was lying almost directly IN
derneath the table. An inquest was
conducted over the remains at
knox's undertaking parlors at 1920
this morning, the jury composed of
Fred Briggs, Ben Blochlinger, Ed
Sullivan, William Earl, James
o'Connor and Ebert Fulmer return
ing a verdict of death caused by
old age and general debility"
ILL FOR A WEEK.
70 Weber had been seriously i'll for
a week but refused TO have a ply

tient, who conducts the rooming
house at which Weber had been
staying for the past two months, last
saw him alive Wednesday between
IL and ! o'clock.
Henry L. Weber was born in
Rock Island July 4, 1S49, and had
been resident of the city all his
life. Two nephews, Cyrus L. Dart

adopted son. When neighbor boys told
him last night of what they had read
in the paper, he merely laughed at
them.
The boys story reads like a novel.
He was found on the streets when
less than three years old, was picked
up by some girls and taken to the po-
lice station, and later to Bethany
home and was still later adopted by
the Hendrons. His foster parents say
he is bright good boy and that he is
deserving of the good fortune which
seems in store for him.
