THE ARGUS, IT IS A GREAT SHOW "Americus" at Twin-City Ball Park. BEST EVES SEEN UT THE TEI-CITIES Rleb, Historical TiUrai, Wonderful Spec ial Features and Gorgeous Pyrotechnics Aa Entertainment Surpassing All Antici pations. 'Americus" is all right. The oneninsr nip-lit of th nrnnt tion of this gorgeous spectacular pro duction at Twin-City ball park last eveninsr broucht out a hrm nnmlr of people, and weather permitting. me miuicnces will grow nightly, as the public begins to realize what a truly magnificent spectacle has been orougni nere, ana now the continu ity is favored in bavinc such an at traction so far above the average ntroduced throur-h the efforts anil public spirit of Manager Charles T. Kindt. The transformation that has f! ken place at the park in order that the snow mignt De properly presented, and the seating accommodations pro- viaeu mat ail mignt enjoy the spec tacle with comfort have been de scribed. It will suffice here tn rv that the management alike as regards Charles Harkinson, director general, and his experienced staff. Manager Charles T. Kindt, and those of the citizens of Rock Island who have giv en their services, to the securing of the attraction, have succeeded ad mirably in their everv undertaking. The entertainment far surpasses every anticipation. To apply the purase par excellence ot slang par lance "it is irreai. The Spectacle. Mretchea across the entire west length of the ground is a scenic re production of Charlcstown in colonial days. This acts as the back ground for the scries of events, historical, patriotic, unique, novel, and bril liant that are presented during the evening's entertainment. "Ameri cus" in its historical conception dates back to the revolutionary peri od of '76. when liberty burned in the hearts of our forefathers whose pa triotism gave oirin 10 trie lirst con ception of the republic. We see those uays reproduced in a flash. e witness the return of the bride and bridegroom from the colonial marriage festival, then the grand pageant, wnn lanterns, wc tret a glimpse of the marching Britishers in scarlet coats under Cornwallis. We hear the hisses of the multitude whom we see thronged along the street as the invaders march by with militarv precision. We see with pa- triotic enthusiasm the entry of the continental forces and French allies under the leadership of the immor tal Washington. We participate in me ovation that spontaneous im pulse accords tbem. Then a most beautiful picture is presented a scene beyond compare. The full chorus, the military, Otto's finely uni formed band, drum corps, Indians, negroes, children, and all auxiliaries contributing to the magnificent spec tacle. The Specialties. A flag of truce is displayed, and the carnival is commenced, opening with the grand ballet of beauty, "La Dance Carnival," displaying the most gorgeous costuming ever presented in a similar production. Then conies the Persian Keaata dance, and Has. saiiillen Ali troujte of Moorish Arabs follow in astonishing feats of Ara bian juggling and other marvelous native exercising. llohring Bros, apjiear in acrobatics. Then comes Adele Purvis Orri, the European wonder, whose feats on the slack wire and revival of the serentine dance on the revolving globe excite the admiration of all, two novel acts these such as have not been attempted in the arena before. Then the Sisters' Cavillari in their genuine Parisian excruciat ing and hilarious "Clodoche;" then La Belle Tina in gymnastic potpourri, when Mille Columbiano is introduced in her originalties. The Ben Zong Zong Arabs present their intrepid and daring series of acts, the snow ballet is given, followed bvthe "Finale Dan Santi." Then the truce is declared over, and dazzling beauty and merriment are succeeded by the grim visage of war. The movement of the troops commences, the conflict is on, we hear the clash of arms.Charlestown is devastated, Washington triumphs, the glorious starry banner waves tri umphantly from Bunker hill. A se ries of pyrotechnical features unex celled before in the west, or since the World's fair, is displayed, the band plays "Hail Columbia" and the fes tivities of the occasion are over. Motes. Don't miss it. This is "Americus" night. It is a bewildering spectacle. The calcium light effects were su perb. Tomorrow night will be mayor's night. The mounting is elaborate and magnificent. The military costumes are histor ically accurate. It costs in the neighborhood of 11.100 a night to produce Ameri cus." The automatic changeable red fire threw an effulgent light on the scene.

An Argcs representative visited Vandruff s island on Saturday, and found quite a little village had grown under the rule of Mayor Ohlweiler. As usual the parties encamped on the island were enjoying themselves hugely, and on the face of everyone was the smile of contentment cou pled with the brawny mark of old King Sol, whose bounteous ravs have beaten down in the strongest manner upon tne acicnscicss campers lor the past, iew wecics. Keports 01 Friday evening's pleasure were of th most entertaining kind. Dancin was indulged in to the sweet strains famished by the Orpheus Maudolin club from the German village, aud the vocal selections were furnished by the Midway quartet. On Sat urday afternoon about 5 o'clock the greatest commotion prevailed at the camp of Louis Salzmann, a great shout havinsr rrone heavenward. With bated breath nearly all the in- uaDiiams ran to tne spot ana beheld Louie coming up from the river with the first iish caught by a member of the "Streets of Cairo" camp. It was a pike about eighteen inches long, but could one have seen Iouie try to climb the greased pole, they would have thought it was a gold watch and chain. The Campers. Among those encamped there and the cognomens by which their camps are known, are: CampOh! Why? MayorMrs. John Ohlweiler, John Ohlweiler. Miss Maggie Ohlweiler and Miss Tommy Claussen.

Friday evening the boys from Old Yellowstone visited the Midway. Mrs. Kautz is pronounced the best cook in the Midway. It is no mis take. Little Tommy, from Little Yellow stone, was lost Saturday morning. One of the visitors rolled him out of bed and he slept in the kitchen all night. About 5 o'clock he got up and walked all the way into Kock Island and went out again about 9 o'clock. In the meantime everybody on the island was looking for little Tommy. Labor Congress. The Tri-City Labor congress held a fairly well attended meeting in Rock Island yesterday afternoon. The matter of starting a tri-city dai ly paper was taken up and a commu nication was read from Messrs. Red dig, of Rock Island, Bronson, of Mo line, and Dromgoole, of Davenport, agreeing to start the paper providing they would be guaranteed a certain number of subscribers. Ko action was taken. Resolutions were adopted endors ing the principles of the populist party, and condemning the expres sions of ex-Gov. Boies, of Iowa, on the recent railroad strike. Speeches were made by Messrs. Lindley and Duff, and the congress adjourned. The K. T. Can p. Tomorrow morning at the old Sears homestead west of the Tower, begins the Northern Illinois District K. T. encampment.

Anraxt UttlE rind an Kxrltmg K inert re Satarday Bvealns;. August Litlig, a clerk in Charles Buncher's Spencer square grocery, had an experience on Saturday even ing which he will not soon forget, and one which might have cost him his 1 fc. Mr. bunchcr keeps his gasoline in a 6hcd in the rear, and adjoining the store. On Saturday evenin" about 8 o'clock Mr. Litlig went into the shed for the purpose ot drawin" some gasoline. It was quite dark in the shod, and as he opened the door he lit a match ami a terriflie explo sion followed aed soon the little oil fconse was enveloped in flames. The young man dashed out of the build ing, and running into the store, told Mr. Bunchcr of the mishafl. and communication was immediately had with the tire department, which re sponded in remarkably quick time, and the flames were "gotten under control before over 100 damage was dono. The second story of the store building is used for dwelling pur poses, and a stairway leading from a'.iove and in close proximity to the burning shed was soon ablaze. A ladder, however, quickly assisted the frightened occupants to the ground. much to their satisfaction. The building is owned by Charles Hans- gen, and be showed Lis appreciation of the fire department by presenting 11 wun ?iu. Mr. Little's KKcape.
