BEAUTIFUL GIRL IS CREMATED.
BY Herman as His Star Attraction
This Season.

Herman, the most wonderful of ma
giciaps and king of legerdemain, will
appear at the opera house in Ameri-
Gus next Tuesday night, Goth, Herr
mans legerdemain is bewildering,
amusing and sensational. He is &C
companied by the unsteady marye-
lous Noses, three ladies and two gen
tlemen, who play on all manner of in
struments with exquisite skill. All
are musicians of rare ability, and their
rendition of selections from popular
operas are an artistic treat. In the
way of new illusion, Herman has the
present season a wonderfully weird in
vention which he calls Cremation.
This is his star offering and shows a
beautiful young lady burned alive,
cremoted before your very eyes. 1t
is a very effective Illusion and has Gre
ated big sensation in all the cities in
this section of the country.

AUGUST RACES AT THE
DAVENPORT MILE TRACK

The rain has been great thing
for the Davenport mile track and
makes it certain that with what
more may come and with the
sprinklers the conditions there
will be fine for racing week
after next. The entries for the Aug
ust meeting close tonight. and Secre-
tary Van Tuyl is confident that they
will show plenty of horsemen comm z
here to guarantee a big meeting.
1t is proper to say right here that
the August meeting ought to have
heartier support from the Davenport
public than the July meeting had
The heat and the dust were excuse
enough then for the people staying
away, but there will be no srch ex-

this time. If the retail stores close,
and the wholesale houses anG factor

cording the Mile Track association no
more recognition than it deserves. 1t
is an open secret that the gentlemen
who have put their money into the
track and carried it for so long had
about reached the quitting point with
the July meeting. If the August
meeting does not leave them in a
more cheerful frame of mind the days
of horse racing on the Davenport track
may be thing of the past.
Not even the city assessors visits
are more certain than the fact that
Davenport will regret the day that
the mile track is turned out to grass.
The fair grounds are gone, aud with
the mile track once gone it will be
gone for all time. All that a good
many people of this country know
about Davenport is that it has the
best mile track in the country. and
as an advertisement for the city il
carries the name of Davenport all
over the country every time race
meeting Is held. 1t brings a lot of
horsemen here on those occasions,
and not a few who are here several
months through the training season,
and it results in lots of money being
spent there that makes the meeting a
good thing for the town, even from
the sordid point OF view of dollars
and cents.
The association makes the welcome
announcement that it will give two
roadster races at the coming meeting.
