which was called for the purpose OF nam
ing time and place for such banquet, the
Davenport members arose and informed
the Moline and Rock Island committee men
that arrangements had been made to hold
the banquet at Davenport They even
went so far as to offer the visiting commit
tees SO many tickets which they were ex-
pected to peddle at five dollars apiece
This was refused, and the Rock Island and
Moline members demanded to know what
amount was expected of their respective
cities The Davenport men concluded
that they would raise $3.50. and the other
two cities were expected to contribute 1925
each.
Everybody thought the affair had been
settled, but at a meeting of this committee
last night a disposition was manifested to
reconsider their action. The reason was
not stated, but a general understanding
was reached that another meeting should
be held to consider the matter. Such meet
ing will be held in this city at late hour
this afternoon.

BUSINESS COLLEGE.

The Davenport DEMONSTRATION Business
College has for years been an establish
ment OF which the citizens of Davenport
and the residents of this district feel de-
servedly proud. 1t has enabled many a
young man to secure an education that
has fitted him for the active duties of life.
when without such local institution he
would have been obliged to have content
ed himself with the limited knowledge Sc
cured at the ward schools.
The aim of the establishment, as con-
Quoted by d. r. Lillebridge and W. II.
Valentine, has been to give business ed
ucation, one that will permit them to step
from the school to the counting office, and
there supervise the business of whatever
branch they may have been selected to fill.
The success of this training has been
fully demonstrated in the past, and each
year its value and usefulness as a factor
in educating the masses is forced upon the
public. Ts-day its graduates are scattered
throughout the country, and having good
responsible positions, they are, by their
work, the best advertisements of the Dav-
export Business College.

HAZEL KIRKE.

This evening the Madison Square Thea
ire company viii present Steele Mackaye's
great success of Hazel Kirk" The piece
is pure and beautiful in every particular
and those who fail to attend this evening
will miss a dramatic treat
The Quincy Herald thus characterized
the performance as recently given in that
city:
A fair audience witnessed the presenta-
ton of a great dramatic success, Hazel
Kirke.' at the Opera House last night.
The play was all that has been promised,
all that was expected Hazel Kirke" is a
drama that possesses all the elements of
popularity. After seeing it last night one
can understand why it is now approaching
its 500th performance in New York, and
how it everywhere meets with a reception
amounting also to an ovation. The COM
pany is an excellent one from Mr. Wheat
leigh, as Dunstan Kirke, the man Of iron
will, down to the least character in the
play. Mr.. Wheatleign, as Dunstan, Miss
Lillian Spencer, as Hazel, Miss Wilmere,
as Dolly and Mr.. Sabille as Pittacus Green
were excellent. Miss Spencer carried of
the honors of the performance and deserv-
ed the favors bestowed by the audience
Outside of the four named the others of
the cast were good and contributed their
part to one of the most enjoyable perfor-
mances given in the Opera House this
season

WATER WORKS.

The council committee on the water
works is manifesting a laudable purpose to
become familiar with all the details of the
present works, their capacities and defects
Yesterday afternoon the committee had a
meeting at the council rooms, when all
the members were in attendance, as well
as Mr. Cramer, the superintendent of that
branch, and Mr.. Gaskill, a representative
of the Holly works, of Lockport, New
York. A general and informal converse
ton was held, during which the subject of
removing the present works to point
nearer to the center of the city, was
brought up. The members of the commit
tee expressed desire to know just how
much such removal would cost. Mr.
Gaskill agreed to furnish estimates show
ing the expense of such move, and also
the expense of increasing the capacity of
the pumps, and the incident increase of
mains. This subject has been fully dis
cussed, but as yet no authentic estimates
of what such an improvement on the pres
ent works would cost, has ever been made.
The committee feel that they should be
posted on the matter, whether such change
is ever made or not 1t was for this pur-
pose, probab ly, that the request was made
The estimates will be furnished at an early
day

TOLL.


The editor of the little Reefeac, a paper
published in Moline has evidently been out
on the road without the necessary funds to
pay the bridge toll He Celebrates on the
seeming course follows:
1t cannot pay cities like Moline and Rock
Island to bar the gateways of their local
commerce. 1t cannot pay them to tax
their sources of supply and shut out the
best customers of their stores by imposing
bridge and turnpike tolls True business
enterprise is to open the gate ways for the
ingress of merchandise and manufactures.
Every roadway leading to city-especi-
allys every principal oadway-should be
free. Every facility possibly should be
afforded to the country people to come to
town with their produce and carry home
the domestic necessaries common to every
family
Hence we believe the Moline bridge
across Rock river should be made a free
bridge. 1t needs man to have care of il
and keep it in repair. But no more toll
should be charged than is necessary to pay
the keeper his salary We believe if tolls
were laid so as to simply pay the necessary
employee and no more, the city would be
the gamer by the increased traffic which
would come to our stores and shops. We
believe the same is true as to the bridges
owned by Rock Island.
A toll gate is an embargo on local com
merce, to the extent of the toll demanded
from the farmer. The city that has the
enterprise to cut this embargo off, will al
ways have the sympathy of country peo-
pie. In fact toll gates are a relic of the
past. The business spirit of to-day does
not justify them, nor is it disposed to toll
crate them

HAPPY CELEBRANT.

Police Magistrate Chopper had one case
before him this morning, and that was a
charge of drunkenness against Sam Kelly.
1t appeared from the evidence that Sam
was celebrating the confirmation of Rob.
ertson as collector of the port of New
York. Sam wanted to fire 100 guns, but
not having the cannon, he took 100 drinks
and called it even. When the officers at
tempted to escort him to the armory, where
all true Republicans find a resting place,
Sam objected. In fact Sam in his efforts
to resist arrest, spoiled the looks of coat
worn by one of the policemen. He was
finally incarcerated, and this morning fined
80 and costs. He paid this amount and
will soon hold a convention by himself to
endorse the position of the president.

| in the Junior race our club will come out
victorious. The club is as yet undecided
as to whether or not they will send senior
| crew to Peoria. This will depend upon a
good many contingencies. In the first
| place, Adams, of the old crew, is in Eu-
rope, and @. S. Downes is also away, and
| as yet is unable to say whether he can join
| the crew. In addition, George Muchmore
| has broken his arm, which will of course
render him wholly unfit to share in the
| coming sport. Unless we can get at least
two of the old senior crew, we'll not par
| ticipate in that race, for the club would
| rather suffer Junior defeat than senior. G.
| s. Downes is probably the best bow-oar
| in the club. If he and Ed. Muchmore,
| both of whom took hand in the rowing
regatta last year, will join the seniors the
| indications are that we will not only enter
| in that race, but will be successful. 1t is
| possible the other persons will be w. w.
| Young, II. p. Darlington and w. v.
Booth
There may be some double, single, and
| six cared barge crews made up from the
| shell crews of our club. The only hope of
| our entering a senior crew, l think, rests
with the acceptance of Downes to take
part in the race. Every indication points
to the success of the regatta. we will
have some excellent sport"

Everything is not working as lovely with

discord, and it is probable that the Daven-
