PLAN AND PURPOSE
OF Tonight's Theatre Meeting al
the Rock Island
Club.
THE PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED.
IL Is Their Project ard They
Should Understand Ii
Thoroughly.


Rock. Island is fortunate in the OPP
portunity that now presents itself for
the securing of a brand new ground
floor theatre. not only in the fact
that such a chance should be offered
for the success of the undertaking
without risk or responsibility to a
single citizen, but in the character Of
tie promoter who has been induced
to come here. George H. Johnston is
not only the most successful and most
sought promoter of amusement enter
Prises in the country, but in the
world, for that matter. The fact that
his name is attached to the under
taking is an assurance in the
first place that it will be put
through in every detail just as he
promises, if it is put-through at all,
and that after it is completed the class
of attractions will be up to the stand
ard Of the house. There is no exsg
geration about this assertion. The
com mittee and others interested in
the proposition have had ample time
to lcok thoroughly into Mr.. john
land TO the other. and not single
instance has been found where he has
failed in the slightest particular to do
exactly as he contracted to do. He is
a man whose reputation is his main
stock in trade; he is proud of it and
will permit nothing TO be done either
in his own interests or the interests
of those with whom he is dealing to
reflect upon it.
Let 1t he Understood.
There ought not to be the slightest
doubt of the success of Mr.. Johnston's
plans in Rock Island, and it is for this
reason that THE ARGUS urges large
attendance of citizens generally ut to-
nights public meeting TO be held at
the Rock Island Club. where the pro-
position now before the city will be
fully ana intelligently explained. 1t
is desired that it be particularly un-
derstood that there is no purpose in
the call 10 get people to subscribe
against their will or to put them in a
position where they will feel that they
ought to do 50. The committee has
taken the view that this is an enter
prise in which the entire people are
interested and that they should I'M
derstand it thoroughly, rs they only
can by an informal discussion, and
thus through cooperation the work
may be undertaken in more system
attic manner and speedily put through
to success.
John Eberson, who is conducting
the ticket sale for Mr.. Johnston, is i'll
and has been confined to his room AZ
the Harper since Saturday.

Considerable interest is felt in to-
morrow school election, at which one
din ector is to be chosen. There are
two candidates in the field, A. Soland
and George +. Roth. Both are worthy
citizens and both are deserving of the
energies being expended by their re-
spective friends. Hard work is being
done for each. As said Saturday, the
fact that Mr. Roth lives down town,
which section of the city will be de-
prived of representative on the re-
tirement of Mr.. Helm beck, whose
place is thus to be filled, is responsib BILE
for an unusually earnest effort for Mr..
Roth below the Third ward, and there
seems to be a correspondingly strong
pull being made for Mr.. Soland in his
own ward, which is the Fifth.
A special committee of the Tri-City
Labor congress has sent out letters
Endorsing the candidacy of George F.
Roth
The polls will be open at s n. m.
and close at z p. III. The voting
places designated by the mayor are:
First, Second and, Third Wards
Kruse's shop. 1914 Third avenue.
Fourth and Fifth Wards-Frick &
Kautz's livery stable, 1916 Third

8 HAD BEEN ASSAULTED.

A riverman named James Gillapp
was found last night lying across the
Peoria tracks at Twentieth street with
his hands tied. He was taken to the
police station in the patrol wagon and
there gave information which led TO
the arrest of Mike Dunn on the charge
of assault with intent to commit muir

not entirely sound mentally. had been
drinking with Dunn and the latter
undertook to relieve him of his cash

Not much further is known except
that he was found as stated. Magis-
trate Stafford gave Dunn a prelim-

Three young fellows created a dis
turbance Yesterday afternoon in the
neighborhood of Eleventh avenue and

mature celebration of the national
holiday. Revolvers were being used
rather recklessly when the patrol
wagon was summoned to the scene and
Officers Moody. Thode and Eberhart
gave chase to the offenders. who took
refuge in the hills south of town. The
pursuit was not entirely successful,
but the offenders were recognized and
this morning "Brody" Gracer was
arrested at his home. The others are
known and will be taken as soon as
they can be located. Gracer claims
to have been using blank cartridges.
Charles zimmerman was assessed
$40 and costs by Magistrate Stafford
this morning for assault and battery
committed on the person of an I'M

pot Saturday night.

Grare Yard MIsterY Solved.

The grave yard mystery at Rey-
nolds has been solved. Nov. last a
man named Smith living near the viii
lage secured the keys to the cemetery
from Mrs. John McAdam and buried
McAdam forgot to report the matter
to her husband, who is secretary of
the cemetery association, and, so it
came that no record was made of il,
resulting in an investigation by Core
ner l.. V. Eckhart, as told in THE AR
GUS last week. Mrs. McAdam has
written a letter to the coroner ex-
planning the affair.

The Medicinal Value Of Spiders,

The peasants get from an old wall the

killed, and are sprinkled with a little
powdered alum. The resulting mixture
must then be boiled. and when cool

Black spiders are evidently supposed
to be full of medicinal virtue. for they
are largely employed In the treatment
