MORAL AND ATTRACTIVE.

The point is urged by Mr.. Buckley
that his SHOW" if such a term de-
scribes it. is moral and leaves no
dark brown taste" in the mouth of
the community as is too often the case
with street fairs, carnivals md attrac-
tons of that character. Mr.. Buckley
contends that Rock Island county
should show the wSrld its greatness,
contrasting present conditions with
those of even a decade ago. The
transition has been remarkable and
the show will prove of financial bcne-
fit, if the fact is greatly advertised It
is for just this purpose that Mr.. Buck
ley suggests his entertainment, fash
toned after the idea OF the famous
Tribune land shows, the first of which
Mr.. Buckley had the honor to plan.

PLANS EXHIBIT
FOR ROCK ISLAND
MADE PRODUCTS
Lewis j. Buckley Of Kansas
City Here With Unique
Proposition.
HOME COMING A FEATURE
Matter Discussed at Meeting Of Bust
ness Men-The Plan and Some
of Its Details.

What would you think of a combin-
ed Made in Rock Island exhibit and
a county Home Coming?" \ rather
odd combination, it would seem, yet
according to Lewis ]. Buckley of Kan
sas City who is i'll the city for the
purpose of interesting the community
in his project. it has proven an IN
questioned success wherever tried.
UNIQUE SCHEME.
The unique scheme was advanced
by Mr. Buckley this morning at the
Rock Island club to H. S. Cable, presi-
dent of that club, II. L. Casteel, head
of the Fifty Thousand organization,
and c. S. Clevenstine. president of the
Business Mems association. William
klinck, manager of the Illinois thea
tire. who is always interested in big
entertainment features for this city,
also attended the conference. The mat,
ter was discussed in its essential feat
ures and this afternoon at o'clock a
second session was held for the pur.
pose of considering the proposition in
| detail.
SURE WINNER.
Mr.. Buckley naturally touts his ex
, hibit as a real winner. In a general
way, the plan contemplates a display
of Made in Rock Island County" goods
! in which local manufacturers would
have an opportunity to display theil
products. The exhibit would be coun
ty wide in its scope and would be il
all of its features a Rock Island
/ county" affair for the purpose of show
ing what has been and is being &C
| complished in this county to all whC
would be interested.
HONE COMING" APPEALS.
The home coming idea is advanced
in order that former residents of thii
locality may have an opportunity Il
visit Rock Island and see how remark
ably things have progressed. By send
| ing out invitations to the distant Is
landers, who have scattered all ovel
the country, it is thought that thu
question of getting a crowd here 70,
the show is solved. A Home Com
ing" appeals in strong sentimental
way to the "sojourners" as no othe
proposition could.

AT THE GRAND.

Large audiences greeted the two
performances yesterday at the Grand
theater of THE Shepherd of the
Hills a dramatization of Harold Bell
Wright's novel. The title role of the
piece was assumed by J. L. Harring-
ton, and he was given excellent sup
port by a we'll balanced cast. Harry
Schroeder, as Grant Mathews, jr," and
Allie Ellsmore, as Sammy Lane, I"
were exceptionally clever in the de-
hneations they presented. Dolly Day.
who interpreted the role of Pete"
child of nature, made a profound i'm
preston on auditors.
The story of 1.-The Shepherd of the
Hills is a powerful narrative depict
ing the consuming hatred of an old
man against the man who was re-
sponsible for the downfall of his
daughter. His desire to wreak VEN
geance on the destroyer of his peace
OF mind works on him SO intensely
that it never leaves his mind, and dur
ing the course of the play outburstS
of fury are frequent, in which the
girls lover and his father come in for
considerable denunciation. 1t appears
to be the object of the old mans life
to live to meet the father and son.
The gradual softening of the hatred
under the kindly counsel and minis
trations of 1.-The Shepherd of the
Hills who later proves to be the
father of the man who caused the
girls DOWNFALL furnishes an interest
ing course for the run of the play.
me final scene, in which the dead
body of the shepherds son is brought
into an adjoining room, and the final
capitulation of the girls father to the
pleas of mercy and forgiveness of the
shepherd, is a powerful delineation of
what suffering and moral persuasion
can accomplish in changing the course
of mans life.
An interesting romance runs
throughout the play, in which Sammy
Lane, and Grant Mathews, jr." are
the principals. The overthrow of the
girls well bred lover from the city,
clothed in the height of fashion, in
favor of the rough and uncultured,
withal manly, Grant" furnishes a
portion of the play which is by no
means inferior to the central plot.
The comedy of Harry Boyle, as
Preaching Bill" was well received.

Washington, March 1S.-No more can
the American fighting man in Manila
walk hand-in-hand in the moonlight
with his brown-skinned. starry eyed
sweetheart, for the war department
learned today that Col. George K.
Hunter, of the Seventh cavalry, has
issued an order prohibiting the men of
che Manila garrison from appearing in
public with native women. The order
was imperative and read:
Members of this command are here
by for hidden to be ceen in public in
the company of native women, except
those men who are married to such
women
An explanation of the reasons gov
erning the issue of the order did not
accompany the report. 1t is under

will not prevent the men who have
lost their hearts to the brown-skinned
girls from counting them in the privacy

Mr.. T. d. HUMPHREYS: Monday eve

Lawyer If a lawyer wrote that
article, he either has very poor case
on his hands or his professional stud
les have been sadly neglected. Having
no information of any other person
of that name am sending this reply
to the lawyer"
Had a few simple questions which
a layman might Suggest, been put to
your mind or to a few of those who
heard me last night you would have
saved yourself this EN- Embarrassment.
Your statement grants all 1 ever have
claimed for the letters exhibited. You
admit it was sent me after 1 had ex
posed the crookedneS of the present
city administration. To be exact it is
dated May Sth 49," and my sermon
against Billardism was preached May
9Th.
Before throwing the letters on the
screen 1 said. Here are samples of
the attentions receive from a certain
class of citizens because 1 have ven
tured to criticize public officials who
permit jointists and bootleggers to
violate our laws with impunity." The
letters shown have all been received
since and on account of my stand
against official inefficiency and in
iquity.
The above disposes of your ques-
tons, but to satisfy all curiosity let
me explain the omitted date. 1 took
the original letters to a public photo
grapher and asked him to photograph
them and prepare slides. He explain
ed that it could not be done with some
of the letterS-either because they
were too long or not written in suf-
ficiently black ink, or not in ink at all.
Three letters were copied-on one the
date happened to be omitted, on an
other three letters of an oath were
purposely deleted.
Now I'd like to ask you a question
why did your client omit his last
name? Sincerely,
ROBT. GORDON.

lively obscure woman deserving of a
big share. This statement relates to
the happy new governmental family of
president, vice president. cabinet Of
ficers, etc., and brings to the fore Mrs.
Thomas Riley Marshall. wife of the
vice president elect.
Mrs. Marshall is the particular. ener-
getic and courageous member Of the
victorious Democratic ranks who de-
serves rewards and who probably will
get them. Before she became 'gover-
nor's lady, Mrs. Marshall put up the
finest kind of a stamping tour with
her husband. And in the presidential
campaign also she was an ever pres
ent, willing aid to the governor.
1t is expected Mrs. Marshall will hold
a prominent place in the social life Of
Washington for the next four years.
Mrs. Marshall's entrance into public
life came with Mr.. Marshall's determi-
nation to be governor. This meant
that Mr.. Marshall would have to stump
the state. At the time the Marshalls
had been married fourteen years, and
always they had taken all Of their trips
pleasure or Acknowledgements.
Mrs. Marshall never had stumped a
state, but she saw no reason why she
should not do SO. There are no chill
dren in the Marshall home to demand
her care: therefore she mothers" her
husband, who is not averse to second
childhood under the circumstances.
She argued that he needed her in his
travels, and he knew that he did. She
went along.
She is not conscious today that she
gathered in votes for her husband. but
she did. The people Of the farming

there came 4 knock ut the door. Four

Of an aunt, who died and left a hun
dred thousand plunks to the bowling
heather of Africa. and one evening as
l sauntered about l came to q church
where a prayer meeting was being
held. l had halted to wonder if my
going in would take six months off my
next sentence when a fatherly hand
was laid on my shoulder and a father
ly voice said:
Don't hesitate, my son."
Keep out?" l asked.
"No: come H."
But I'm q stranger"
"There are no strangers. All are

l have never missed the glad hand
yet when there was opportunity to

the fatherly man as we halted for a
moment in the vestibule.

"just Jeems."

There were prayer, speaking and
singing, of course. Mr.. Saunders join

in his boyhood days, but felt now that
all his sins had been forgiven. He was
ready to give the other world a trial
any time he was called upon, and he
had no doubt that a harp awaited him.
If a hit can be made in prayer meet
ing then Mr.. Saunders made one. He
introduced himself to all and then in
troduced me. l took to him from the
start, sizing him up for a patent wash
ing machine man with a heart, but
after l got to bed my opinions chang

was a man with a game to play.
Next day Mr.. Saunders invited me up
to his room at the hotel. After taking
time to size me up he said:
"Jeems. do you stop to think what
would become of this world without
oil?"
Il do at least every day" l replied.
II am glad that you are a thoughtful
