AT THE EMPIRE.

If you care about the wooden shoe
variety of repartee, in which a long
and short German comedian twist the
English language into bow knots along
with their tongues; if you wish to
cast off that veil of society finish, and
in lieu of the low amused chuckle of
mirth launch forth into equine outlaws
and attract the attention of your or
chestra chair neighbor, you will prob
ably visit the Empire, where the Ad-
ans and Guhl company present The
Two Admirals" The extenuated Ger
man comedian is really a scream and
when he advances to the center of the
stage and begins his Glowing, you
will laugh, If you care for that sort
of thing at all. The humor is not of
the insidious variety, which requires
careful study TO appreciate, but is de-
cidedly obvious, and therefore the
laugh is likely to be classed in the
same category. Admirals Schlitz and
Schultz are really funny. A bad man
called Battle Axe Gallagher" is seek
ing to drink the hearts blood of the
exclusive bean foundry proprietor,
said eatery being located on the left
hand side of the stage. When the two
valiant admirals arrive, the proprie,
/ tor offers them the hotel and $1,000
/ il they will Stay Gallagher. That's
/ too much money" is the answer. Just
offer us $3.50, so that if We don't sue,
coed, We won't lose so much" A great
deal Of the book may be traced back
TO previous productions of the Rogers
brothers, but the stuff is still good al
that The chorus is fairly comely and
decidedly willing. Although the mu
sic could be brought to coincide q
trifle more with the general trend OF
modern times, still when it is consid
cred that the lyrics are merely a filler
inserted to permit of the comedians
gaining some little repOse, that fac
can be overlooked.

AT THE MAJESTIC.

Vaudeville lovers are getting their
fill in variety the first half of this
week at the Majestic. THE Hallow-
cen Hop" containing seven people,
features the bill. The act is a har
vest Of mirth and melody and is being
well received. Princess Bonita,
Americas greatest educated horse, -
is also getting her share of the hon,
ors. The horse was trained and is
managed and controlled by H S
Mcguire, Jr., son of II. S. Maquire
owner of Mascot. The equine spells
adds, answer questions in four diff
ferent languages, tells time, etc. The
act is pleasing, educational and in
structive. Kramer and Ross wiggle
their pedal extremities in a CLASSY
fashion and put on a good eccentric
dancing sketch Corbin, the monolog
list, gets off some good stuff that
brings laughs. Two reels of moving
pictures are also included on the
bill.

TO MEET ILLINI
FORSECOND Time
Independents Will Again Jour
ney to Moline to Do Battle
With Plow City's Best.

The Rock Island independents and
the Moline Tlini will clash again Sun
day afternoon in what will be the last
game that might have a bearing on
the tri-oity championship. Contrary
to expectations, and despite the fact
that the game is a return contest, it
will be played in Moline, where the
other one occurred. The first meet
ing between the two teams was in Mo
line, and the Him were to have come
10 Rock Island for the second, but all
efforts to get them to do so have fail
ed, and rather than miss meeting the
Moliners again, Manager Joe Smith Of
the Independents finally consented 10
play in Moline.
BY winning Sunday, the Illini could
claim equality with the Independents,
and third game to decide the cham
pionship would be necessary. Inas-
much, however, as the Independents
are much stronger now than they we're
when they won the first game 10 0,
they have no reason 10 fear the neces-
sity for playing a third contest The
Illini are runners-up for the title, how.
ever, having defeated the Moline
Olympics and the Davenport Independ,
ents.
Because Of the demands of Rock Is
land rOoters that team which can
give the Independents q real game, be
produced, Manager Smith has written
to the management Of the Spring Val

The Hawaiian Language.

The language of Hawaii is very sim
pie. To one who hears it for the first
time comes the conviction that the alb
origines expressed their sentiments IN
consonants have been added Each
vowel is sounded as in Latin. and the
words are easily pronounced by one
who is patient and wishes to speak
distinctly The pronunciation will be
ali the better If the speaker will draw
out, almost drawl, the vowel sounds
for which reason the language is well
suited to the doleful Hawaiian wall

plot to impose bogus bonds upon
the court will be given hearing this
morning, when he will be given an op-
portunity to show cause why he

Tony May, who were closely question

the bond scandal Saturday, were sub

not be drawn up and returned in court

JIMMIE cRYAN WRITES.

G. J. Lomen received letter from Jimmie Cryan in the last mail. It is dated November 3 at Montoville which is probably the postofice for Mount Tabor. The beginning of the letter is written in a most business way and speaks of business matters of his which Mir. Lomen is looking aftef in the most common sense way possible to any one. The latter part of the letter is somewhat different.
 He says he is now occupying the same ward as Frank Lagerquist who was sent out from Nome about thres years ago.
 One remarkable fact about the let ter is that he asks to be remembered to the little girl who dropped the flag on the Fourth of July last year. Jim- mic picked up little American flag which the girl dropped Meeting Mir. Lomen he took the flag out of his pocket and said he would bet no man walk on it. "I wouldn't give 1t for million dollars he said at that time. The incident has evidently been deeply impressed on poor Jimmie's mind ever since.
