MUSICAL TREATS.
Last Evenings Concert at Augustana
College Nadsme Camilla Urso To-
Night.

Night.
Music hall at Augustana college was
well filed last evening, on the occasion of
the grand concert gwen under the charge
of the college, conservatory choir and Or
chestrs. The programme opened with
an organ sinfonls from Rossini by Prof
Stolpe, when the conservatory choir and
orchestra rendered Rossini's See the
Weeping Mother" A grand fantasia for
the organ, The Storm" of Lemmens'
composition was given by Prof StolPe.
and then came vocal solo, Ave Maria
from Bach, Gounod with accompaniment
of violin, organ and piano, those taking
part being, Misses Hilms Ohlin and Emma
Deere, and Messrs. G. Stolpe and A. D.
| Badfors. This closed the first part.
Part tw0opened with quintetto for
piano. two violins, viola and violoncellO,
in which Messrs. Stolpe, Carlson, Hen
ming, Peterson and Bodfors particle ated.
StoIpe's Beautiful Melodies from Swe>
den" was given by the conservatory or
chestrs, and the Augustana male choir
sang The Long Day Closes" Prof.
Stolpe played Bucks organ overture and
the conservatory choir gave Stolpe's
"Detihtet- Representation. The excel
lent programme closed with Luiher's
Var Gud ar osa en- Vsldig borg" by the
conservatory choir and orchestra. En-
tertainmenls such as this can be none toe
frequent and the public should show more
appreciation of them than it does.

THE SYNDICATE PLANS.
The New Cars and Where They Will
be Used Track Building and Barn
improvements.

The New Cars and Where They VIII
be Used. Track Building and Barn
improvements.
The six new cars recently received in
the city for the Holmes syndicate system
are, not excepting the electric cars in
Davenport, the finest ever seen in the
three cities. They are painted blue outs
side. and the interior is handsomely in-
ished in polished maple. The seats are
covered with fine Brussels carpet, the
window lights are large. while in addi-
ton to the lamp boxes in either end there
is large lamp in the center of the car.
At one side is an anthracite stove. The
money boxes are made of plate glass and
so arranged that the driver may keep
track of his fares during an entire trip
either way before letting them down into
the box. The only possible objection to
the new cars is the contrast they make
with the old ones which have seen their
days of glory and many of which are fit
only for kindhng wood, and of very little
account even for such purpose.
The work of building the double track
on Moline avenue is almost completed
west to Twenty-third street and cars
are now running on new iron from that
street to Thirty fifth street. New curves
have been put in at the approaches to
the Moline avenue car houses and the
stables adjoining enlarged to accommo>
| date fully thirty more horses. The Mos
line avenue barns will be used for the
cars on the regular runs while those on
the old Union line will be utilized for
storing reserve cars-the summer cars in
winter and vice versa.
Supt. Schni,ger has the new track dowr
Thirty>fifth street. which turns the Union
cars into the old Corduroy" line ant
will remove the track over College hill a
soon as possible, All cars will be run
ming to Moline via the old line in few
days. The new blue cars will switch of
at Thirty fifth and proceed via the for
mer Union line, while the red cars follow
the old direct route. Supt. SchnItge
has found that the ventilsting pipe 10
the centre lamp in the new cars is so higl
that the new cars will not 60 under tn
railroad vladuct on Moline avenue
and any new cars that may be or
dered for the direct road will hsv
to be made lower. Eventually a
the old cars will be retired, aud it is th
intention of President Holmes to have
thorough equipment of elegant close
cars for winter and open cars for sum
mer, all of standard size and equally we
furnished.
Superintendent Schnitger propose
too, to have his cars 80 colored and lei
tered that the destination will be know
at a glance. 1t may be some time befol
the system is in good working shape, b.
when once established the service wi
, have no superior anywhere.

A FARMERS FROLIC.

He Relieves Another TlIIer OF the
Soil of His "stufY." but Returns 1t
Upon Demand-- Result OF Thanks
giving Spree.
Samuel Kyler and Orlando Creswell.
two Scott county farmers, came into
Davenport Thanksgiving eve for the pur-
pose of having good time. After spree
ing about half the night, they wendell
their way into a saloon on East Third
street, known as The Bank" and the
Democrat Gazette says:
There Kyler and Creswell met several
of their friends, and general good time
followed. Kyler, it is said, is a temper
ance man, and although believer in
prohibition to some extent, does not OBJ
ject to treating" his friends when he
meets them. He always carries consider
able money on his person and that even
ing had been spending money quite free
ly. The friends soon departed, and
Kyler. who had not been feeling very
WELL sat down by the stove and went to
sleep. The saloonkeeper retired for a few
minutes to the rear of his place, during
which time Creswell got the wallet out of
Kyler's pocket, containing $l72. and took
all the money except 81. Creswell then
put tie wallet back into Kylers coat
and then departed, When the saloon
keeper returned be awakened Kyler and
advised him to 90 home he would feel
better. Kyler arose, examined his wsllet
and exclaimed, I've been robbed" He
declared some one had robbed him of
S165. He asked where Creswell was
The saloon keeper told him that he must
have gone home. Kyler then began a
search for Creswell, but could not find
him. When morning came Kyler noti-
fed Chief Kessler of the robbery. Cres-
we'll, by the way, left the saloon about 10
O'Clock that night and jumped into his
buggy and drove home. Kyler believed
that Creswell had TAX en- his money; so he
and the chief drove into the country tC
Creswell's home. When they reached
the place the chief alighted from the
buggy. went to the house and raped or
the door. Creswells wife responded anC

then he went TO the barn. In q few
moments he returned and handed Mr.
Kyler $l55. promising to return him tn
, other $40
, Creswell claimed he did not intend I
steal Kyler's money. 1t is not know
, whether or not kyler intends TO brin

e procedure on the part of the latter any
a way. Last winter Creswell relieve
, Kyler of $40 or $50 in q similar name
at the Delmonico and when Kyler accuse

Il when Kyler threatened to have him al
rested did he return the money.

The Earnings of Freaks.
From the Philadelphia Times.


This is a bad year for dime museum freaks.
According to the proprietor OF one of the
prominent museums of Chicago, the salaries
this year have fallen away about one-half.
For example, Jo-Jo, the dog-taced boy, who
began with a salary of 81, 600 a week, can
only command 50 25 at present, and not
always get steady engagements at that. Tho
reason is because every one has seen him.
Mile Christine, the double woman, one Of
the greatest living freaks, gets salary of
$l00a day, whereas three years ago she Tor
thew commanded 81, 200 a W Elk. Fanny
Mills, the big-footed girl from Ohio, receives
a sa airy OF $780, but her success is owing IN a
great measure to the announcement that she
wants a husband. and will give him a farm
and S., 900 cash if he marries her. A great
many cranks have caught at this bait and
help swell the receipts In reality she is
married to a man named brown.
The latest success in the freak way has
been the Indian Chaska and his white wife
They cleared 1900 and had all their ex-
penses paid for four weeks season i'll Chi
cago, but retired at the end Of it, as they
did not fancy the business. Nina Van
Zandt, of anarchist fame, and Minnie Free
man, the heroine of the late blizzard in Ne
braSka, are two persons who could rave OBJ
tanned large salaries from dime-museum
managers, but they refused all offers of the
kind.
A good dime museum, it is said, cannot
be maintained under an expense of 81, 900
a week. and some of the larger museums
expend $1,000 i'll payment of help, perform
erS and freaks,
