That William McKinley will be the choice ot the St. Louis convention for president is generally believed. The uncertainty which surrounds the democratic situation, however, makes it hazardous to prophesy as to the presidential standard-bearers of that party. There are a few ven turesome individuals, however, who are willing to make a prediction as to what the outcome of the Chicago convention will be as to candidates. The latest slate maker is a" cabinet officer, who is quoted as follows by the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Journal: If McKinley be nominated at St. Louis." said a cabinet officer, shov ing aside his correspondence and leaning forward on his desk. -I pre dict that William C. Whitney will be nominated by the democrats for president, and Ben T. Cable, of Illi nois, for vice president." The official paused a moment and then leaning back in his chair, said: Whitney wants to be president. He does not want to be nominated only to be defeated. I believe, with many other democrats, that though our party is not in the best of condition this time, it will be able to get to gether and by the means of a thor ough reorganization and with the adoption of a sound-money platform at Chicago, defeat McKinley. This prediction of mine is not based on any direct information from Whitney. But I know his opinion on the situa tion and that under certain eitcum stances he would become a candidate for the nomination. To my mind, there is no doubt that in the event of his becoming a candidate he will be successful. I know, too, that he would desire a good running mate and that appreciating the necessity of having one member on the ticket from the west, would seleot National Committeeman Cable in preference to any one else. Are Cloaa Friends. 'lie and Cable are very close and intimate friends. He regards Cable a the ablest politician in the west. He has a very high personal regard for him, and' together they would, I believe, make a very strong fight. Of course, it does not necessarily fol low that a man who is nominated for president can select the nominee for vice president. But Whitney, you niuftt remember, is more of a politi cian than any man who has been nominated in recent years. He is a shrewd, careful and calculating man and would look after details which others would ignore. Senators Brice and Gorman, together with many other members of the national demo cratic committee, are for Whitney for president, if he would accept the nomination, and both are strong ad mirers of Cable. I may be wrong in my prediction. Tou have asked me for my opinion, so I have given it." What does the president think?" I have not asked the president hia opinion ot the outcome of the convention. I know, however, he would cheerfully use his influence in Mr. Whitney's behalf, and that he regards Ben Cable with a kindliness second only to Lamont and Whitney. If you think this prediction of mine worth printing, without, of coarse, using my name, just cut it out and paste it in your hat. and look at it the morning after the nominations at Chicago." Raffalo Bill la Coining-. Many inquiries have been made at this office since the first announce ment of the coming of Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders ot the world, if Col. W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) himself will be present. It can be stated positively that he will take part in both after noon and evening exhibitions. The further surprising statement may be made with equal positiveness. and that is that tbe exhibitions will be absolutely exact duplicates, man for man and horse for horse, as they were at the World's Fair at Chicago. Those who saw them at Chicago msy be inclined to doubt the possibility of transporting so vast an exhibition from city to city in a night, but it was done over 160 times last year throughout the eastern states, and it was on time in every town and city without one single exception. With tie even superior railroad facilities in the west it may be relied upon absolutely to be on time when it comes here Wednesday. June 17. Advertised List Mow 16.

Ob C try" Ebaaarataly Fraaa mfS at Haipt TawMrew Children asng and danced before the footlights at Harper's theatre last evening for the benefit of the In dustrial Home association. An elab orate prodflctioa of '-Our Country," a fonr-act spectacular covering im portant historical events from the discovery of America in 1492 by Christopher Columbus, np to the twentieth century, was given and in a manner reflective of great credit on the sweet-faced boys and girls assuming the various roles as well as Prof. Clendeain, under whose personal direction the piece was staged. He is also the author ot Our Country." Appended is the cast of characters: Christopher Columbus. . Master Jamealferfleld Ferdinand, Kin? ot Spain Master Charles Pratt Isabella. Castile, Queen of Spain Miss Louella Stoddard Miri of Honor Florence Smythe MaKXs or Honor - (j,,, HeUs Monks Father Perez. Master llennte WQson.

The scenes which were given with glittering effect the costumes being specially handsome were inter spersed with some neatly executed dances and marches; and there were vocal numbers by Sadie Mcllvain. Milton Jones. Maud Bennett and Mat tie Jones. A novel feature of the specialties introduced in connection with the piece was the shadow dance which afforded much amuse ment, especially to the younger folk. The calcium light was employed in all ot the scenes and dances and con trasted with the pretty faces and neat costumes presented, a bewilder ing sight. And in fact" the piece was in every particular a success not a single hitch occurring as is invariably the ease at entertain ments of this character, where so many little tots are to be looked after. But one thing occasions any room for criticism and that is the small ness of the audience. Tet it was not so small,, either, when the many other attractions on here now are taken into consideration. But "Our Country" deserves better pat ronage. It is given for a cause in which all ere interested. There is a debt on that handsome building at the corner of Twenty-first street and Third avonue, which will ever stand as a monument to the industry and thrift of the laboring people of" Rock Island, who have banded together to pay for it. But they need a little assistance. This entertainment is given for that purpose. It will be given tonight and tomorrow after noon. New specialties will be intro duced at each performance. Both should be well attended. THE DAVENPORT LEVEE. Taking The Coa Frvtm stock Island Work . Is Coins: Steadily Ahead. The levee improvement discussion on this side of the river has led not only to the calling np of the same matter in Davenport, but of the put ting of it through. The Leader ot last evening says: 'The work on the levee improve ment is progressing nicely. The work between Brady and Main streets is now about completed and a large portion of tbe force has been trans ferred to that portion between Perry and Rock Island streets. However, there is quite a force of men at work on the extension of Brady street to the water's edge. The street gutters have been pnt in place on the west side of the street and today will see the work pretty well completed oa the east side. There remains yet to be done the placing of macadam be tween the gutters. When the grad ing is completed along the levee the entire river front will be covered with macadam where it is needed and for the money Davenport will have one of the most presentable river fronts in the state." The street intersection on Main street has been paved for years with sandstone to the water's edge. The other improvements are but supple mentary to this. rrae Fills. Send your address to H. E.
