In sad but loving, remembrance of our dear
father, AUGUSTUS BROWN, who died six months
ago. April 5, 1901.
Dear Papa could you speak to us,
And could you live again;
Our aching hearts would then be healed
But this we wish in vain.
Our hearts are sad and lonely,
Our grief too deep to tell;
But time will come when we will meet
And all to you We'll tell. BY HIS CHILDREN

NEW SCHOOL MAP Is
COMPLETED BY GOULD.

County Surveyor Gould has COM
Pleted his work on large wall map
of Rock Island county for the use OF
the superintendent of schools. The
map was drawn to facilitate compli-
ance with the amendment to the
school law adopted by the last legis-
lature.
Heretofore the school districts have
been numbered in each township
separately. while under the provisions
of the new law the districts in the
entire county will be numbered con-
secutively. beginning with No. 1. In
Rock Island county there are total of
103 districts.
The enumeration will begin in the
east end of the county with No. /. and
No. 103 is in the western extreme of
Drury. The new law greatly simpli-
fies the work of the state and county
superintendent in keeping track of
their work. Mr.. Gould's map shows
the congressional township lines, the
school districts with their old num-
bers and also the new number of each.

outs been so prevalent in the daily
life of those who ride as now. This
is due to two causes. One is the ex-
pansion of the atmosphere due to the
heat. When wheel is given an in
lection of cool air in the morning and
taken out in the hot sun the pressure
on the tire is materially increased and
something is liable TO happen.
Then rubber possesses in some
slight degree, along with that other
property of matter, elasticity, the
quality known as viscosity. That is,
its form may be changed by continued
force exerted in any particular place.
This is especially true when it is
heated to a high degree. Thus the
inner tube of a double tube tire will
gradually become weakened in spots
till it leaks and still there may be no
puncture found when the vexed
wheelmen attempts to locate the
source Of the trouble.

kIRALFY AT THE EXPOSITION

Historical Spectacle, "OonstantInupIe OF
ReveIs In the East"
| The Teck theatre, of Buffalo, the
largest and handsomest auditorium
in that city, will have for its Pan
American exposition attraction Bo-
lossy Kiralfy's grand lyric and his
torical spectacle, "Constantinople. or
Revels in the East" pronounced in
Europe the grandest creation of the
kind and produced and directed in
person by it's famous originator, b.
fossy Kiralfy. Constantinople has
been brought to Buffalo direct from
the Olympia. London, and presents
an outlay of 800. 900 worth of radiant
costumes. trappings, armor and spe-
cial realistic scenery. Three hundred
actors, singers, dancers, pantomim-
lists, athletes, gymnasts and other
characters, take part in this maguifi-
cent spectacle of overwhelming dis
PLAYS, marches. ballots and historic
scenes. The story which threads the
plot together is told in pantomime,
but the incidents are so forcible that
they scarcely need the dramatic mo-
tive that has been supplied. Changes
of scenery are so dextrously contrived
that the illusion is never DESTROYED
and we seem to be living in the classic
age of the barbaric festivals of the
orient. Scene upon scene and mar
vel succeeds marvel so that one is
lost in admiration of the masterful
generalship. the enormous labor. and
the infinite care bestowed upon de-
tails, whereby the Kaleidoscope spec
tscle revolves itself, changing every
moment, and the absence of tawdri-
ness, even in the smallest incidents,
is apparent, and no armor could be
brighter. no equipments more smart,
no silks, satins and velvets more gem
uine than the dresses of these SPLEEN
did groups. 1t is the finest produc-
tioh Of the kind that has ever been
seen in America. and the beautiful
effect produced by the hundreds of
gorgeously dressed people who take
part in the action of the spectacle and
the festival dances is indescribable.

"If those were the points, don't see

by reason of the increased yard room
and building provements at Moline
cannot result otherwise than detri-

the manner suggested in the opening

the loss that will be sustained by the

Rock Island would not suffer from
any changes that might be under con-
