A full house greeted the LaSalle

ernoon at the Columbia theatre in
Davenport. in THE Girl Question"

company faithfully reproduced this
popular comedy in every detail Guy
Voyer starred in the part of Con Ryan,
the head waiter, while Alleen Morrison
was charming as Joe Forster, head
waitress. Intermingled with few
heart throbs the play is replete with
comedy. Ryan is head and heels in
love with Elsie Davis, the cashier, but
is too shy to tell her. Joe. the head
waitress, secretly loves Con. Elsie
goes on the stage and soon forgets
Con. the climax coming at a birthday
party of Con. when the restaurant is
foreclosed by a mortgage in the hands
of the wealthy Mr.. Sears. Con loses
both Elsie and his position in the same

FIRST SIGHT OF
CITY WAS IN '58
Decatur Man Who Passed on Log Raft
Then Notes Change-Relates
River Adventures.

Il tell you what, these towns don't
look like they did back in S." said a
gray-haired Civil war veteran who
stood on the Rock Island levee this
afternoon. looking at the shore lines OF
Davenport and this city.
Il amt seen either of EN- for long
spell now and they certainly look like
real places. My first sight of these
towns was from a log raft" he said.
There wasn't no brick buildings along
the shore in them days
The grizzIed old soldier gave his
name as p. F Miller of Decatur, here
on visit TO his sister. He is Just
travelling around" having ceased to
live an active life after years OF work.
That he is active despite his seventy
odd years vas evident when he raced
with the crowd when a sudden rain
caused flight 70 safety.
His life has been full incident. A
sight-seer in the northern woods, he
took passage down the river on raft
in 1858. His trip started him on a
career as riverman and until the war
broke out he followed that trade. His
boat was fired on by confederates dur
ing the first months of the war, an in
cident that did not cause him TO hold
any desire TO enlist in the confederate
army when an invitation to do so was
presented at New Orleans.
Mr.. Miller said the boat on which he
was steaming north flew the stars and
bars until it reached Cairo. From that
point to St. Louis the stars and stripes
were at the masthead
After reaching that port, Mr.. Miller's
life as a river man ended and from
that time until the end of the war he
was a member of the union army

A Matter Of Distances.

Why did Homer call the Dardaneiles
broad" or "boundiess.' although a.
the point where Leander and Byron
swan Il the breadth f. barely a mile?
Byron's comment Is very neat: The
~ranElirg about the epithet. the
broad Hciiespoint.' or the 'boundless
Heiiespont.' whether Il means one or
the other. or what IL means AZ all. has
been beyond all possibility % detail
I have even heard Il disputed on the
spo, and. no: foreseeinE a speedy con-
elus!or 20 the controversy. amused
myself with swimming across IL in the
meantime and probably may again be-
fore the point e settled. Prob
ably Homer had the same notion OF
distance tha; n eoquette has OF time.
and when he talks OF boundiess means
half n mile. as the latter. by n like
figure. when she saws eternal attach

PORTER ON TRIAL
FOR KILLING MAN
Unusual Interest in Outcome OF Car
rington Murder Case in Circuit
Court
SELF DEFENSE Is THE PLEA MADE
Coiored Railroad Employe Accused Of
Firing Shot That Cost In
spectOr's Life.

Charles Darlington. colored, was
placed on trial this afternoon in circuit
court for the murder OF Lester Nes-
/ bit. Burlington dining car repairer.
I The case promises 20 be one OF the
most important criminal matters of the
present term and unusual interest cen
/ tiers in its outcome.
A special venire OF Is reported this
afternoon IN circuit court. So many
excuses had been allowed that the
regular list OF jurors had dwindIed 10
Is and additional men were necessary
TO MI the panel OF - required before
the trial could proceed.
Self defense will be the plea Of Car
rington and a number OF close legal
points are expected TO be involved in
the case II was on the early morn
ing OF March ., that Nesbit entered
dining car on the Burlington, in the
performance OF his duties. while it was
on a side-track near the round house.
Stories differ as 10 just what took
place IN the car. but IL is known that
Nesbit found Darlington asleep on one
OF the seats and that when he upbraid-
ed the porter for mussing up the car, a
fight ensued in which Darlington drew
n gun and fred. the bullet taking eff
feet In the inspectors leg.
Dies April 30.
BY this time the dining car was on
its way TO the Burlington station but
when Il was reached Darlington had
fed and Nesbit was found on the floor.
He was taken to the hospital. Twice he
was released from the institution. a
relapse followed each time and finally
death came April so.
States Attorney ?. z. Thompson is l
the case and Clyde Walk /
er is defending. assisted by s. L. Bar
nett. we'll known colored lawyer OF
who for IS years was an as
sistant in the ONCE Of the states at
;orney OF Cook county.
Admission of a dying statement
which thestste is presumed TO have.
will be bitterly fought BY counsel for
The defense. Whether death eight
weeks after the shooting was due 10
he bullet found or some other cause
will be one OF the points raised.
Darlington alleges Nesbit was the
agEressor In the seuffle. Absence of
INV witnesses TO the fight except the
defendant and Nesbit. gives the case
IN unusual aspect
