Arrangements for the grand
street parade on March 10Th, are
progressing very satisfactorily.
Messrs. Mason Mcbride, Leonce
Jacobs and Morgan Sandoz, the
young men who are working the
procession up, are sparing no Of
forts to make it a success, and with
three such pushers at the helm, we
feel sure that it will be piloted
through satisfactorily. The s. p.
has made a rate of one and one
third fare for the round trip from
all points between and including
Morgan City, Lake Charles and
Alexandria to Opelousas for the
occasion, and it is expected that q
large number of strangers will be
I'M town on that day. "A number OF
the business houses have already
commenced work on their floats and
each is claiming that theirs will be
the finest in the procession.

HOW the Reporter Got Even.

The people of Muscatine are in
something approaching tumult, be-
GAUGE their nice new opera house has
been in danger of falling down. The
wild eyed story that is on the street runs
to the effect that the walls have
been bulged, and need to be repaired.
All of which is the worst kind of nom
sense. The statement reaches this
city. from a reliable source, that the
story was started by reporter who
wanted to get square with the man
agement because he was refused a
couple of complimentary seats over
and above the allowance to his paper.
In any event the opera house is as
safe as any building in that town. and
the people who have been mainly in
strumental in circulating the report
are kept very busy now in trying to
stop it before it goes any further.
The incident goes to show the mis-
chief that foolish man can do when
he is playing with edge tools such as
all malicious stories are.-Davenport
Democrat.

FIELD MEET PLANNED
FOR HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS

The managers of the Davenport
and Rock Island high school track
teams have completed arrangements
for dual field meet between the two
high schools. The date set is Satur-
day, May 4, at the old fair grounds
on Ninth street in South Rock Island.
Parties who have followed the
schools in their contests are well
aware of the rivalry between them.
Hence a lively contest is assured. A
banner will be awarded to the school
scoring the most points and a fine
medal to the best all around athlete.
A small admission fee will be
charged to help defray the expenses
of the meet, and the boys should have
the support of both cities.
Directly connected with this meet
is the annual interclass meet of the
high school, which occurs next Satur-
day. Much enthusiasm is developing
among the different classes. The
seniors. who are sure of a great vic
tory. met last night to stir up their
nerve and tell each other how sure
they are. The juniors are expectt d
to follow their example today. and no
doubt the other under. classmen will
come up in force.
Tickets are selling like hot cakes,
and it is hoped that the boys will
come out clear of the great expense
due to their loss by the fire.

Showing Thus Far
Made.

Iowa City, April 22.-(SPecial) y
Terrific hitting by Rock Island was
the feature of today's game. The
collegians played desperately. but the
best they could do was to roll up five
scores to their opponents 20. Hoy,
Hopkins and O'Leary led in the stick
work.
Manager Tate said after the game
Judging from today's work by the
boys. they will be travelling a pretty
lively pace when the season opens.
Hoy, the new third baseman, is a hit
ter and a fielder, and we can thank
Secretary Lou Eddy for landing such
a prize. The players are trifle sore
as yet. but will be in the best of shape
when the gong sounds"
Secretary Eddy arrived today A
newsboy quizzed him about the Roc (

been his reply: ''We have certainly
got a bunch of bread winners that the
