Pilot Dies at HIS Post.

The center wheel ferrybost Frank,
Sherman, which was brought here
early this spring to assist the Au-
gusta, but proved unsuited to the
work, has been in commission as a
ferry at Quincy, Ill. Wednesday
when the heavy wind struck that
part of the river. the Sherman was
noticed to be entirely without con-
troll from her wheel. Finally when
she pointed her nose squsreiy to-
ward the shore the engineer reversed
his engine and ran up to the pilot
house. There he found Capt. John
Hustleby. the pilot. standing erect in
death, his hands tightly grasping the
spokes of the wheel. Heart disease
and the excitement attending the
storm are supposed to have carried
him eff. The death is much similar
to that of Pilot Coleman on the rapids
here a year or two ago.

CONSERVATORY CONCERT
A Delightful Eneertainmeut at Angus

A Delightful Entertainment at Angus
tana College Last Night.
The eleventh annual concert of the
Conservatory of Music at Augustana
College was given in the college
chapel last evening and proved a
grand success in every way. The
program was opened by a selection
by the Conservatory orchestra, Prof.
Schillinger. leader, after which was
rendered Gounod's famous "Messe
Solennelle" by the chorus, solists.
organ and piano. This beautiful
musical creation ia composed of the
following parts, all of which were
rendered in the Latin language:
Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, OfIertorium.
Sanctus. Benedictus and Agnus Del.
Although the rendition OF this part
of the program required full hour,
the large audience was spellbound to
the last. Part second opened with a
splendidly rendered selection by the
orchestra, after which Mrs. Edla
Lund and the grand chorus sang
most impressively Gunnar Wenner-
berg's 137th David's psalm. contin.
uiBg with the 113th psalm by the
same author. Then followed beau
tifully and artistically rendered
duet by Mrs. Edla Lund and Mr..
Susenmihl, of Davenport, afte1
which the chorus, orchestra, etc.,
rendered the closing number of the
program, Handel's '.Hallelujah." The
very excellent manner in which this
strictly classic program was rem.
dered is certainly remarkable when
it is considered that many who par.
took in its rendition are amateurs.
The professors of the conservatory,
as well as the officers of the institu.
ton, are to be congratulated upor
the grand success achieved by its
popular conservatory last evening.
The institution has recently added
a sixth department., viz, that Of fine
art. This department, which is un.
der the direct supervision of Miss
MunrOe. of Davenport. gave very
pretty exhibition during the week in
the south seminary room. The ex
hibition consisted entirely of work
done by Miss Munroe's students dur
ing the year, there being twelve oil
paintings, seven crayon drawings
eight pastels and three neatly ar.
ranged tables exhibiting works il
china painting. etc. There were
also numerous drawings from casts
together with a fine collection of ma
ture work. While it is true that thi
is the Youngest department at the in
stitution. it certainly promises wei
for the future, and Miss Munroe i
to be- congratulated upon the accom-
plishments of her class, which ha
numbered II during the past year.

The Delightful Resort to Begin Its
Season.
The season ut Black Hawk Watch
Tower opens formally tomorrow and
Sunday, with a program of unusual
attractions and features. Assistant
to the President j. +. Lardner, of
the Tri-City Railway company. has
spared no pains to make this sum-
mer one Of the most delightful in the
history OF the resort. With an aim
to make the amusement features all
that they should be, Mr.. Lardner has
engaged Bobby Bryant. formerly of
New York, to manage the attractions
at the summer theatre. and tomor-
row will occur the grand Inaugural
ton of the vaudeville attractions
There will also be balloon ascensions
and parachute leaps by Senorita D.
Ancona, the great lady aeronaut, and
other aerial novelties so feet in mid
air by Ancollettes, direct from the
circus REM. Berlin, Germany. The
program at the summer theatre will
embrace high class refined vaude-
vile, athletic, acrobatlc, musical and
triumphs in the magician's art.
The Tri-City Railway company
proposes this year to carry out the
policy it has adhered to since it ac-
quired the Tower property, of max
ing it more attractive and Offering
better inducements to the public this
year than ever before. The excur-
sion business will be improved again
this season to the fullest extent, and
J. P. Cook is devoting his particular
energies to this end.
As has been said heretofore, vari-
Gus improvements have been made
about the Tower grounds the pas,
season, and under the direction oil
Charles McHugh, with j. w. Linn
as caterer. We may expect the popu.
laritv of the charming place to in
crease. and the public, which will
have its first opportunity to see il
in all OF its glory tomorrow. will OBJ
tain a higher sense of appreciation
o; its beauties and pleasures thar
has ever been had before.

forget to take it. The Liver gets sluggish

LET IT PASS AWAY.
Rock Island Travellers Without
an Organization.
ASSOCIATION GOES TO THE WALL

An Old knight Of the sample Case Dep
recates Such . Condition OF An airs In
This Thriving City and Suggests Re-
vival Among HIS Brethren.
Rock Island plays second fiddle to
very few, il any, communities of
its population on any matter of
an en.erprising or up-to-date nature.
But she is behind on one thing. She
is without an organization among
the men who represent her mercan-
tile interests in surrounding towns
and states. Once there was local
association of travelling men. But it
has been many moons since it passed
away.
An old knight of the sample depre-
Gates the fact of such q state of af-
fairs existing in an enterprising city
with the reputation of Rock Island.
Across the river the travelling men
have thriving organization, ct
tractive headquarters. where they
gather during their spare moments
and swap stories and experiences,
and every convenience which goes to
make a pleasant gathering place.
1--WE were progressing nicely with
our association in Rock Island,
confined the traveller. "when some
of the boys began to get discouraged

before all Of our hopes were shat.
tered and the little club went to the
wall. And there it has been since
and there it is likely to remain uE'

seem to be taking a protracted

"But there should be reviva

men. If this could be accomplished
and don't see any reason why il
could MOTT would not be very long
before they would become interested
and once more drift into those social
ways which should characterize
every salesman's life. Now when the
organization idea was first sprung il
Rock Island several years ago, it re
quired little coaxing to get some o
the boys in line; but when once go
to coming they were all enthusiasm
That enthusiasm is not dead yet, anC
if we can get our heads together once
again I'll bet the association will
stick.
I'VE used to have nice headquar

There were billiard and pool table,

neatly furnished and we had quit

Our membership role would com
pare favorably, am willing to wager

novelty Of the rooms soon wore of
and it was but short time until il
was something unusual to find any o
the boys around there. But l can
see what's the matter with the Rocl
