SKATING POND FOR co-Eps.

OF which there has been much com.
plant by the parents of the students

the plans of Prof. Algie R. Crook to
construct skating rink materialize.
Prof. Crook has announced his in
tention of utilizing for the purpose
the vacant half-block just north of
Willard hall, the home of the co-eds.
He would have the university author
tiles prepare the lots SO that thew
may be flooded before cold weather.
The concrete sidewalks would serve
as banks for the pools on three sides.
Fraternity men, who have heard of
Prof, Crooks scheme, have offered to-
build seats for the skaters, and sug-
gest that each secret society build
one and name it after the fraternity.
On, account, of the proximity of the
lots to the dormitories the young
women are taking kindly to the prop
osition. They laugh at the sugges-
ton that it is a scheme to keep them
away from the Chicago parks, where
many of them go skating in the win

completing arrangements whereby

the city having guaranteed the nee

tions.
considerable difficulty was encoun-
tered in securing the attractions de-
sired as the season was so advanced
that some had only very few open
dates.
The first number will be given, Nov.
18th by Edmund Vance Cooke, the
Ohio poet. Mr.. Cooke is one of the
best known of the younger poets, and
as an imperSonator has few equals.
His subject will he "Pot-Luck with a
Poet"
The second number will be given by
the Schumann Ladies Quartette.
This company was organized in 1892
and they have everywhere been re-
ceiyed with enthusiasm. Their ap-
pearance here should be greeted with
a crowded house. They will probably
appear December 10Th.
The third number will be the Schil-
ler Male Quartette assisted by Nettie
NJ. Jackson, reader. This is but their
second season but their popularity is
shown by the fact that their season is
now entirely filled. Their entertain
ment will be on the evening of Jan. B
January 81 or 2S we are to have Lou
j. Beanchamp, s,The Laughing Phi
losopher.o Without doubt Mr.. Beau
champ delivers more lectures than
any other man on the American plat
form. Heis booked solid from Sept.
l to April Is. The Northwest Lacquer
of Clear Lake says; HE is Without
doubt the greatest humorist on the
American platform" He has ap-
peared there four times in the past
two years. His subject will probably
be ''Take the Sunny Side.'
The committee takes the financial
responsibility and they certainly de-
serve great credit for bringing such
high class entertainments to the pco.
pie of Cresco.

back movement to give to Chicago
hotel for workngmen similar to
the Mills hotel il New York. Tho two
men have not discussed the matter
personally, but the subject was
broached to Mr.. Gossard by John b.
Bogue, representing Mr.. Ward.
II have had such hotel in mind
for some time," said Mr.. Gossard,
"and I would like to go in with some
capitalist and erect one, OF I would
head stock company for the pur-
pose. Mr.. Ward has found me in tho
right mood for joining him il hotel
can be erected according to my ideas,
gained from personal experience
among the people whom such an in
stitution would benefit. h
''In the first place, it should be
situated in the downtown district,
within the loop if possible. It should
be at least 12 stories high and OF the
most modern freproof construction,
and living could be had on both the
American and European plans. On
the American plan the highest price
would be one dollar per day and on
the European plan the lodging would
be at the rate of about 20 cents per
night. Every modern sanitary con-
venience would enter into the con.
struction; there would be a bath in,
every room, tubs in the higher-priced
rooms and shower baths in the rest.
The meals would be moderate In
price and there would be two res.
taurants, one serving a vegetable
diet only, the other a mixed diet.
Where should be a free employ
ment agency, free dispensary for
the sick, and bath treatment rooms
for those who are obliged to get the
red licker' out of their systems
before they can brace up. The vere-
tartan diet will be part Of tho
treatment. There will be provisions
for laundry work, which will be done
at merely nominal rate. There
should be bowling alleys and billiard
tables, but no bar.
An important adjunct to the hotel
would be the assembly-room, or au-
ditorlum. Here should be carried on
the Higher Practical Education So
clety meetings and the work that the
society has been doing at the Jones
school all summer. The hotel should
be under the auspices of the society.

work among those who need its help.

to the management of the hotel and

The Sherwood Concert.

A delighted and appreciative
audience greeted w. 81. Sherwood at
the Congregational church Saturday
evening. In music is expressed the
tenderest emotions, the deepest SYM
pathies and the widest passions of
the human breast, and they are all
often blended in the same compost
tion. The average student in human
affairs has not failed to observe these
features in the written and spoken
utterances of authors, writer's and
public speakers. In these the average
citizen is swayed and finds himself in
full sympathy with the sentiment
uttered; at one moment bowed in
sorrow, at another convulsed in laugh
ter, and then burning with indigna-
tion. These are the methods through
which the orator carries with him his
audience. In musical composition
all these passions of the human mind
are as fully expressed and as readily
understood by the accomplished musi-
clans as are the words.of speakers by
those who listen and drink in the
sentiments uttered. A feature in the
Sherwood concert Saturday evening
the event that brought out the compo-
sition about to be rendered was briefly
outlined, thus enabling the audience
to be in sympathy with its varied
emotions. The program was a long
one and embraced the most brilliant
passages of the greatest composers of
the musical world. Though it re-
quired two hours of constant effort
the full program was rendered by Mr..
Sherwood without a single piece of
the written music besore him. Seated
near US at the head of the broad aisle
facing the key board Of the Concert
Grand Knabe Piano used were three
young ladies with the sheet music
spread before them intently following
the music and it's intricies, as rendered
by Prof. Sherwood from memory.
The audience, one and all, SO far as
opportunity offered, expressed their
gratitude to Miss Bessie Johnson, Miss
Bernice Laidlaw and Miss Lauraine
Mead for the magnificent musical
entertainment their persistent efforts
had provided for the public.

AGaIIant Contest.

1t always affords US pleasure to note
the popularity, prosperity and success
of former Howard county people
wherever located. 1t will have been
noted that Scott county in which is
located the city of Davenport, gave
the republicans on the state ticket
1924 majority. AT the recent election
Hon. VIM. Theophilus was the demo-
cratic candidate for state senator from
that county. 1t will be remembered
that he was clerk of the court in this
county four years, representative in
the legislature one session and candi-
date on the state ticket one year
while a resident of Howard county.
Since removing to Davenport he has
represented the county in the legis-
lature having been elected by the
democrats when the county was re-
publican by over 1000 on the state
ticket. The Davenport Daily Leader
editorially says:
cit is very interesting to note the
record made by Hon. VIM. Theophilus
for state senator. 1t will be seen that
his total vote in the city was 1855, as
as against Mr.. Hayward's 3,112 and
that Hayward's plurality in the city
was 37S. This shows that Mr.. Theoph-
illus ran about 6S4 votes ahead of his
ticket. 1t will be seen that Mr.. Hay
ward IS vote in the entire county was
1888, as against Mr.. Theophilus vote
4,o43, giving Hayward a plurality of
400 in the entire county and showing
also that Mr.. Theophilus ran ahead of
his ticket in the entire county of 734
votes.
sit should be stated in this connec-
tdon that the entire forceI of the re-
publicanS was concentrated against
Mr.. Theophilus. They were lavish in
their expenditure of money against
him, and there was not a thing that
they did not do that they thought
would count in its effect against him.
The republicans realized that he was
a strong man, and they were afraid
that he might pull the ticket through
'On the other hand, it should be
considered that Mr.. 1heophilus con-
Quoted gentleman's campaign. He
ded not resort to abuse or to under
handed tricks, but was openand above
board in his work. He did not stoop
to sully bis own fair name. by visiting
places where he would be ashamed to
have Others see him go, and he has
not lost the respect Of any one for
doing SO, though it may have cost
him votes"
