The Pay Train and the Wheel of Fortune.
Manager Bosby, of the Economic Theatre, have secured these two big productions for Wednesday and Thursday evenings, October, 4th and 5th. The Pay Train is one of the few really meritorious railroad plays, and this is why it has survived its erstwhile competitors who sought to give satisfactory performances with a bunch of scenery a few competent performers and a jumble of rot in the form of a play. This attraction can boast of a really clever play, a company of capable performers and some of the cleverest scenic effects ever presented to an audience. The floght of the “Pay Train” with the rush and roar attendant upon a swiftly moving train is one of the many effects this excellent play contains. “The Pay Train” will be produced Wednesday, and “The Wheel of Fortune,” the big melodrama Thursday. Special price 10, 20 and 30 cents.

The Horse Review says that prices of horses have increased 100 per cent within the past three years, and the demand for high class and choice coachers and roadsters is far in excess of the supply. The horse, therefore is in a strong position to bid defiance to the advent of the automobile.
The Davenport Leader says that the Davenport, Rock Island and North-western Railroad Company has placed its contract for 400 cars, which will constitute part of the rolling stock of the Davenport, Clinton & Eastern Ry.
