Every seat in the opera house should

musicians. Such music all performed
without notes has never been heard in
this city Among the soloists are Paul
Olah, Ligmend Bodai, Geza Kanga, Carl
Lsego, Carl Vadaf. Josef Darvas, Johan
Arvai, Lander Cssillag, Franz Vadas,
Stefan Mage, Carl Horvath, Josef 10th,
Anton Makai and Carl Beringer
director. Among $4,000 gypsies living
in Hungary Mr.. Olah is king on
the violin. He gains the ad-
mration of everybody, whenever he ap-
pears He manipulates the violin as no
one else can; he laughs and weeps with
it. Mr.. Olah don't need sbaton, glance
of his eagle eyes on his men is sufficient
to bring forth harmony such as no
other band can produce. Horvath is
king on the cymball and Mr.. Czilag the
king of celloists. No one excels them,
and the other Gypsies look at them with
devotion and envy. You can hear these
sons of nature of Hungary, and their
performance will leave with you au i'm
preston not to be forgotten. Seats on

Withdrew from the canvass for renomina-

in despair and leaving an open field for
Judge Hayes, the probable nominee. The

mental in bringing about this revolution,
chuckles over Murphy's notifying set,
back and fills up its editorial page of last
evening with short and pointed para
graphs upon the result of the primaries
in Davenport, which has caused senSa-
ton in the Second district and all over
Iowa. A few of the Democrats editorial
comments are appended;

twenty other members and senators who
have been asked for legitimate public in
formation have ever refused to give it e.

them staple articles in the Mississippi
Valley northward to St. Cloud and south
ward to Cairo, while they are
shipped to Chicago, Cincinnati
and Pittsburg on the east, and to Des

west. The superior flavors are due to the
use of pure fruit extracts and sirups
made in the factory's laboratory. The
unfailing carbonation is due to fine ma
chinery and ice-house process. The
purity and healthfulness of the beverages
are due to the exclusive use of water
from the famous Black Hawk spring.

sis at the Illinois University. Champaign

The election which occurs next Tues
day Tor two members of the board of ed
ucation is exciting very general interest.
perhaps more than in any former year
The most important and essential ele>
ment conducive to prosperity and en-
lightenment OF the people of cities, states
or nations can be found in the public
schools. and their well being and proper
management should be matter of grave
consideration to every good citizen. The
function Of Abe board of education do
not, as many think, consist simply in the
care of public school buildings and other
properly, but extend to the appointment
of instructors and the regulation of many
things which require educated judgment.
Persons chosen as teachers should not
be made such for the purpose of educat-
ing themselves, but others-our children.
The former is too often the case and
questions of personal or family nature
are frequently permitted to bias the
judgment of the appointing power. This
is not as it should be. aud those ouly
should be selected to preside over the in
structiou of our children who are quall-
fed by education or experience for prop,
erly filing the positions to which they are
assigned. aa.
Therefore it seems to us that gentle
men should be selected, presumably ca
pable of solving questions of school gov.
ernment
Among many names mentioned, those
of Capt G.. W. Durham and William
Jackson, Esq. seem to meet with the
most general approval. Capt. Durham
graduated at Harvard and at the Uni,
versity Of Heidelberg in Germany. He is
thoroughly conversant with the American
school system as well as that of Germany
aud has been n resident of Rock Island
fifteen years Mr.. Jacksons record as a
thorough, painstaking lawyer, good bust
ness man and prominent citizen for many
years, is well known.
The election of these gentlemen to the
Board of Education would be credit to
the board and to the city. as well as an
honor to them. But whoever the candi-
dates may be, let every one turn out next
Tuesday and see that the proper men are
selected

benefited by the experience.
