After taking i Dr. Miles' Nervine and Tonic for awhile I could sleep well, and the nervous spells have left ! me." MISS ALMA HUG, r i R. R, No. 4, Canal Dover, Ohio. Without sleep the nervous system soon becomes a wreck, and the healthful activity of all the organs obstructed. Restful, body-building sleep accompanies the use of Dr. Miles' Nervine because it soothes the irritable nerves, and restores nervous energy. When taken a few days according to directions, the most restless sufferer will find sleep natural and healthful. Get a bottle from your druggist. Take it all according to directions, and if it does not benefit he will re turn your money. RUSTY STOVES MADE NEW SHINES ITSELF.

TO END THE SOCIAL SEASON More Talent Secured for Thanksgiv ing Affair for the Member ship. There is likelihood of a revival of the annual minstrel feature by the Rock Island Club membership. ?t will be recalled that the club, a few years ago, put on two entertainments that brought that organization fame as a originator of amateur blackface productions. There was the street pa rade, headed by a drum major and band, and in which the entire mem bership attired in tiles and dusters, and affecting canes, the graybeards and the youngsters, all Joining In. And there was real merit to the show itself. The club in those days had talent. It still has. At an Informal meeting of the club entertainment committee Saturday evening the matter was broached, and it is probable that It will result in the planning of a show to be presented in March, or later, possibly, the public event to mark the close of the winter social season at the club. Thanksgiving- Eve Affair. The club entertainment committer Saturday evening received good news In the form of a telegram from George Buhr of Cincinnati stating that he could be depended upon to be present at the entertainment for the member ship at the clubhouse Wednesday even ing. Mr. Buhr is one of the proprie tors of a Cincinnati factory, and has been making Rock Island for years. As an entertainer he has few equals outside of the profession. He wires that he will be here "with his bells on" for Wednesday evening. Others who will contribute to the evening's pleasures are William Collins, a pro fessional singer, monologist and story teller of Chicago; Sandy Baxter, the Rock Island Arsenal Golf club profes sional instructor, on whom Harry Lauder has nothing when it comes to the use of the Scotch dialect In song and story, and Will Trimble, the well known local baritone singer. It is the strongest array of talent ever securad for the amusement of the club mem bership. The evening's program wi'l be .commenced with a dinner to be served promptly at 6:30 o'clock. The announcement cards refer to the af fair as a get-together elbow-rubbing affair. Each member will be privileged to invite a non-member. Attendance "Will Be nig. The entertainment committee urges those expecting to be present to have their acceptance cards in the hands of the club manager not later than Wednesday noon, for the prospects are that It will be the biggest enter tainment, in point of attendance, that has ever been held at the clubhouse. Bleuer's orchestra has been secured to furnish the instrumental music for the evening. The Theaters THE ILLINOIS. Sceoad itcim and Sixteenth afreet. AT THE ILLINOIS.

After wit nessing a performance of "A Gentle man From Mississippi" the patron of the theater can readily understand the reason for the vogue of that play in tne east, it having had a continuous run of over a year In New York and six months in Chicago. Brady and Grlsmer, who gave us "Way Down East" and other things worth while in dramatics, are the sponsors of this production new to the west They, too, seem to recognize that the peopla beyond the Adirondacks know the dif ference between a first and second class company; that the money out this way is Just as good as it Is In the east, and that the axiom coined by the lamented Bamum don't go in this day and generation. Brady and Grlsmer are giving us the original company and production, and they are not losing by the concession,- if such it might be termed. People of the trl-cities yes terday had their first view of the play. It was presented afternoon and even ine at the Grand, in Davenport, and Manager Hughes of that house ought to feel proud of the response that his announcements brought to the box of fice. Standing room was at a premium. in the afternoon, and In the evening. despite the had weather, the theater was filled. It would be superfluity o review the performance. Suffice it to say that it was all, and more, than was promised. Burr Mcintosh and win nemine headed the caBt. That is enough for any one who Is up on things theatrical. At the close of the third act there were six curtain calls, and finally Messrs. Mcintosh and Deming were forced to give speeches. There are no murders, or suicides, ir wrecked homes, or fires, or railroad wrecks, or closing of motgages. In the play. It tells a simple, wholesome story. In which a new senator from Mississippi, big, pure In thought and mind, amazed at the corruption he dis covers in legislative life, turna to mak ing other men honest, and succeeds. Of course there are a few wedding3. But It's mostly sunshine and goodness. It Is good to see and hear. "A Gentle man From Mississippi," same company and production, will appear at the Bar rymore, in Mollne, tomorrow evening. You will not make a mistake by going to see it. "Thief" Comes This evenings Charles Frohman brings his company in a presentation of the much-talked of Bernstein drama, "The Thief," to the Grand, in Davenport, this evening. A high class company In a finished per formance is assured. "St Elmo" Hero FridaysThe Illi nois will offer as Its attraction next Friday evening "St. Elmo," a drama tization of Augusta J. Evans' famous novel of the same name. This play has been one of the successes of the decade and It Is peculiar that this story, so long popular, should only have found Its way to the stage during the current year. "St. Elmo" has been dramatized by Miss Grace Hayward, whose stage version of "Graustark" has met with much success. Local theatergoers are promised a splendid production and a cat of much excel lence. Blast From Hillsdale. This Is from the Hillsdale Post of last week: "The O. W. Blain Entertainment company was the closing number of the lyceum course which closed Friday evening. Owing to the inclement weather only a small crowd was present, but if all reports are true, those were fortunate who stayed away. The company came with a good reputation, hut their en tertainment Friday night was as near a total failure as was ever given in this place. It is a shame that sucn a company as this should go about the country and hold up people under the pretense of giving an entertainment. The other three numbers of the course were quite good and satisfied all. The receipts fell somewhat short of the expenses and the Woodmen ua der whose auspices the course was given will have to pay money out of their treasury to meet some of the bills." Where She Got Her Start. After re fusing numerous offers from theatrical managers to star In musical comedy. Miss May De Sousa of Chicago, wno for five years was the idol of London theatergoers, and whose popularity abroad is said to have exceeded even that of Edna May. another American girl who enjoyed the high favor of the English audiences, scon will make her reappearance In Chicago at the Ma jestic theater. There is a pretty bit of sentiment attached to Miss De Sousa's decision to appear at the Kohl and Castle theater, for It was this firm that gave her a first opportunity o wards the goal of hage success In th'ir production of "The Land of Nod" at the Chicago opera house. Several maa agers importuned Miss De Sousa for her services. "No, no," she said, 'I am going to play first In Chicago, my home, and for Kohl and Castle who gave me my 6tart, or I don't play at all." Hopper Opens In Chicago. The most successful musical play that De Wolf Hopper has ever appeared in, and one that has met with the critical and popular approval, is his new song comedy, "The Matinee Idol," In which he began an engagement at the Olym pic theater, Chicago, last evening. Hopper has been appearing for so many years as a comic opera king that it will be Interesting to see him in a role which, although closely fitted to his Individuality, is entirely differ ent from anything that he has ever done. Everywhere that the new play has been produced it has been agreed that he has found a vehicle for his talent that will last him for years, and as he said in one of his speeches re cently, he must find it a relief to he playing a human being, even though that human being is an actor.

Hibbard of Bristol, 111., says:. "Since last September I felt myself declining in health. My back became very weak and besides I felt tired and worn out.

"The Dancing Banshee" and "That's the Time for You to Go." This is one of the comic opera innovations for which Daniel V.Arthur, Hopper's new mana ger. Is entitled to credit.

I cer tainly was discouraged when my husband read of the cures Dr. Bartz was performing In Rock Is land and vicinity and we talked it over and concluded that we would go too. We did and before Dr. Bartz prescribed for me he made a very careful examination and told me I could be attended to by home treatment, so It would not be necessary to remain away from home. Well, we took the treatment along, the first few days I felt very bad I think the long trip had something to do with it, but after that I picked up so rapidly everybody that knows me is surprised at the change that has come over me.
