The Chicago Stock Company To Play A Week In Our City.

This famous organization, which is taking their Summer vacation, is rehearsing some of their new plays in our city and next week will give a public performance of one of them each evening.

Monday evening they announce Fredric Reynolds’ famous American melodrama “The Australian,” and among the offerings of the 1 fig of the week is one which r ut doubt is the greatest play JI the century, viz: “Quo Vadis,” which they stage with all special scenery of ancient Rome.

Will Try It Again.

It is currently reported that the Grfford railroad promoters will circulate a petition for another railroad election in Barkley tp., that they will not submit to the will of the majority of the voters of the township as expressed at the polls in the election held last week. This is a bad thing, if true. It means, in substance, that the railroad people intend to either buy enough votes from the opposition to carry the election or import enough voters to do so. We are told that almost every resident land-owner in Barkley tp., is opposed to the tax and worked and voted against it. These men generally are men of intelligence and honor. They can neither be bought nor intimidated, and if one man, and an alien at that, can impose an obnoxious tax upon these people without their consent and by corrupt methods it is a sorry state of affairs. The petition, if one is circulated, should be turned down by every honest man in the township. The question has already been voted upon and all gooa citizens should be willing to submit to the verdict rendered. Should enough signers be secured to call the election, then all such citizens should work energetically to give it a harder knock-out blow next time.
