SUCCESS UNIFORM - r Admiral Evans as a Talker ' Good as in His Capacity - as Sea Fighter. iji MAKES A DEEP IMPRESSION Betrays the Modesty of the Truly Great, hut Does Not Mince His Words. -' The success on the rostrum of Ad miral Evans, who comes to the Burtls opera house, Davenport, Friday, to lec ture under the auspices of the Tvi-City Press club, has been no less marked than his success on the deck of his battleships. His "talks," as he chooses to call them, abound in wit and dar ing.

Keeps the Food Cool and Clean THE Leonard Refrigerator appeals to all house- lrppnersj at. firat. nrlanpe r- h The reason is that it 1 looks exactly as we say it is. It looks easily cleanable and a brief demonstration proves that it is easily clean able. It looks cool and an explanation of it's air cooling priciples, speedily convinces that it is cool and it saves ice. It looks solid and durable and a careful scrutiny reveals that it is all that and more. We guarantee the Leonard cleanable Re frigerator to absolutely satisfy the most critical buyer. If it doesn't, we will take it back. 25 years of refrigerator building experience have made the makers ex perts. ' No better re frigerator could be built.

Both of these comedians are local men. Tom Pritchard. Arthur Stone and James McConochie are down on the program for vocal solos and the bill is a good one.

Tomorrow evening is designated at Davenport night and Saturday evening will be observed as Rock Island night. AMUSEMENTS River Riplets. The Ruth was north and south through the Rock Island draw. The stage of water was 8.90 all day. There seems considerable possibility that the schedule of the Carnival City Packet company boats will have to be changed, at least as to the time ot leaving this city. For the last month, there has been scarcely a day when the packet Columbia has left on timo for Burlington and the Helen Blair, I which commenced operations between this city and Burlington yesterday for j the first time this year, was over two hours lute in leaving Rock Island. The amount of freight being handled has; considerable to do with the slate of affairs, but the chief reason lies in the fact that the shippers fail to get tholr( freight to the warehouse before the time-for ithe departure of the boat. The shippers all know when the bolt i.s scheduled to leave and seem . lo think that as long as they get their, goods to the warehouse by that time. they will be aJ right. They fail to take into consideration the fact that it halt a dozen others do the same thing, there is a congestion of freight at the last moment which causes ser ious trouble for the boat employes who have to handle it and get in on board and properly stored away.' The com pany is considering setting a time for closing the day's business p.nd it will bo necessary for any freight which ?s to be handled for that day to be in the warehouse before (hat hour. This will allow'the boat to ".cave on time. Kxruralna Smnon Soon. The excursion season in this city s lo be opened next Tuesday when the steamer W.

Ho al.-o reports that Dar- ringer, the man over whom Dubuqu.- and Hartford almost came to blows, is still with the Hartford team, but that he expects he will leave to join Du buque before long. Davenport has protested the game played at Springfield May 10 on rather unusual grounds. While Davenport was at bat a ball was fouled over the grandstand. McGrew was on first and had taken such a lead that the pitcher threw to catch him. The ball came in high and just at that instant the ball that had been fouled was returned to the diamond, being Uirown in the Eame direction. Dick Smith caught the , pitcher's throw all right, but McGrew, seeing the other ball roll away. thought he hadn't and cut for .sec ond, only to be thrown out. The Um pire refused to listen to explanations and now Manager Shaffer wants the game thrown out. All the news all the time The Argus.

The farce came into popu lar favor over night in New York, and that city, as Germany and France, are still doing, is laughing yet." A Salome dancer with "temperament," whose sobriquet Is "The . Blue Mouse," Is engaged by Rollett, secretary to tho president of the interstate railroad, to impersonate his -real wife and flirt with the president with the hopes of getting from him a promotion.
