INFORMANT RCAIoRs

For several days rumors have been
prevalent of determination on the part
CT the syndicate to dispose of its lines in
the three cities. SO much having come up
to annoy and discourage the enterprising
owners, the purport Of such rumors being
that local company of Rock Island and
Moline capitalists had made an o~er for
the ines on this side of the river and the
bridge line, while the lines in Davenport
were to be sold to the Davenport Central
Electric road of which DR.. W. L. Allen
is president. When questioned on the
matter last evening Managing Director
Louderback said, Il don't know
as there is anything in any such remarks.
have made q proposition to dispose OF
our interests here and don't know what
will come of it. If could sell out all
We own here it would doubtless be as
good thing as could do for my friends
whose interests was sent here to look
after II IS sincerely to be hoped moth
ing will come of any such negotiations if
shy are being made. for TO lose the Chi
csl o syndicate would be as hard a blow
TO the three cities, in the midst of their
advancement as could be struck. With
other people in the control Of the system.
our people who do not already realize
what is being done for Rock Island, would
wake up TO a realization of TO what 50
extent each of the three cities is indebted
TO these pushing Chicago men, whose
money We have had the benefit of
without stint for three wears.

The Moss Family,

One of the best musical comedy COM
panies that has appeared in Roanoke
this year opened a two-nights' engage
ment at the Opera House last night
The Moss Family came here we'll recon-
mended, and by their performance last
night conclusively demonstrated that
they deserved it. From the riso to the
fall of the curtain there is music galore,
and good music, too.
Almost every instrument known to
the musical world is introduced, and
tho company displayed it's wonderful
musical versatility by changing in
stantly from one instrument to another.
The two youngest members of the
company, Miss May and Miss Bertha,
captured the audience early in the even
ing and proved to be prime favorites all
through the performance. Miss May
appeared in number of roles, and her
dancing was highly appreciated. Miss
Bertha, though but fourteen years of
age, acted with the sang froid of an old
artistic. She has been on the stage for
eight years. Without doubt she is a
musical genius. There is not an instru-
ment that She can not play. They will
appear tonight.
