INDUSTRIAL FAIR
is WELL PATRONIZGD.

The Industrial fair last evening
drew large audience. A largo por-
tion of the floor space which had been
unoccupied on the opening night was
taken with elaborately arranged ex-
hibits, forming almost solid bank of
brilliant colors about the hall. The
program was an interesting one and
drew hearty applause, and large
number enjoyed themselves dancing
afterward.
Tonight the entertainment feature
includes four professional acts. Those
taking parts will be Miss Rosetta,
"coon" singing; Jack Cassin. mono
logue man; johnson and Brandey-

ARE too MANY COOKS

The Scramble for Place Said
to Be Keeping Yates
Awake Nights.
AND SOME MUST TAKE SOUP.

The demand from republicans that
has gone from this section of the state
for recognition at Springfield is said
to be keeping Gov. Yates awake
nights. The appointment of a colo
nelcy from Rock Island for the Tenth
congressional district, it was thought
by the young executive, would serve
to placate the locality somewhat.
But he has been sadly mistaken.
County Chairman B. F. Knox. who is
seeking now to make himself sure of a
public Office of some kind by asking
his party to again nominate him for
mayor. is still living in hopes that
he will drop into Com missioner Will
liam Jackson's shoes at the Pontiac
reformatory. For the same place
Editor Walter johnson. of the Union.
is yearning-and trusting. Then up
in Moline Editor w. F. Eastman. of
the Dispatch, is after berth on the
canal commission, and as G. III. Deere
is with him, he is apt to create some
disturbance. Another circumstance
that arouses compassion in the cases
of both Johnson and Eastman is that
both were hopelessly disappointed
postoflice aspirants in their respective
cities.
To complicate matters the more up
this way, Former State Senator Harry
V. Fisher. of Gsneseo. has come for
ward with petition for appointment
on the pure food commission.
Minor Positions to BE Changed.
And there are some minor positions

Billy Baker, Jim McGarvey and A Z.

tol, and that fact will be brought to
the attention of the governor when it
comes to dispensing patronage of
more important nature.

pointing to sign over a basement in
the wholesale dry goods district.
"Yes; 1t would be a queer place." was
the answer, ''if the product was like
that of nearly all cooper shops. But
there was never a barrel made in the
place, and probably not one of the 15
men who work there could head bar
rel, to say nothing of making one. This
cooperage does business only with big
wholesale houses"
There are several similar shops in the
district. They make a business Of
strapping cases of merchandise after
they have been packed. The large
concerns have the cases put in the
street after they have been packed, and
then the cooper is sent for to nail the
wooden straps around them. He re-
ceives about 25 cents an hour for his
labor and from 10 to % cents a pair
for the straps. The shops are the
storehouses for the hoop poles, and
there the men split and shave the hick-
ory saplings which finally become the
case straps. There are some houses in
the district where the porter does this
work, but the large concerns turn it
over to the coopers who never make a
barrel.-New York Tribune.

Another important transaction
which not only indicates the value OF
Rock Island realities but the tendency
toward the development of the same,
was consummated this morning
through the agency of Re'dy Bros.
1t involves the transfer of the two
blocks of land formerly occupied and
used by the old B mill of the
Rock Island Lum Der company and

mediately north of Third avenue and
extending directly north and across
the railroad tracks to the river.

Henry Curtis and E II. Guyer by John
Bruhn. of Davenport. for considera-
tion of $17 500.
The land skirts along close to the
Rock Island viaduct and will be used
by it's purchaser, it is understood, for
the development of fuel plant on a
large scale.

LIBRARY ASSOCIATION
MEETS WITH SUCCESS.

The ladies of the soliciting com nit
tee of the High School Library associ-
alton met at Mrs. Julia Rosenfie DIS
residence this morning to compare
notes and find how much the dona-
tions amounted to. When all the
cash had been turned in it was found
that $3.50 had been collected. In ad-
dition to this some books will be
given.
The sum realized together with
what is made through the musicals to
be given by the young ladies of the
basketball club and such relief as may
be offered by the Alumni association,
it is thought will go far toward rellev-
ing the extreme necessity Of the high
school pupils.
The Alumni association of the Rock
Island high school meets tonight at
Supt. HaYden's IS office in the Lincoln
building to take some action looking
toward replacing the school library
destroyed in the recent fire. 1t is
desired to have as many attend as
possible.

six rrirhtened Lions.

An tucident at the Porte st. Martin

the annals of the show business. The
chief feature of the exhibition was

young woman securely bound into
cage of lions heralded as being the
fiercest and most bloodthirsty of man

The woman who had the part of the
victim was taken ill. and n substitute

trainers, herself a trainer of some ex-
perience, but without any acquaintance
with these particular six lions. As she
was somewhat nervous she carried u

Amid the breathless silence of the
spectators the ringmaster explained
the ferocious nature of the lions and
the terrible risk of the woman, and
she was thrust in at the cage door.

door was not securely shut after her.

QUEEN 0RAeA RePqRFED SHOT
Conflicting Rumors Say She Wa
Fired at on Street. .sf.

Vienna, Nov. 21.-An unconfrmed re-
port has reached Vienna that Queen
Draga has been shot at in the streets
of Belgrade. The Neue Freie Presse
and other Vienna papers publish
various rumors, one declaring that the
Servian queen was assassinated, an
other that she was wounded. and a
third that she committed suicide.
Reports from other sources deny the
statement that Queen Draga was killed
and assert that the rumor Of her death
was caused by an hysterical scene with
King Alexander. There is no reliable
information on the subject here. but il
is generally believed that a serious
crisis exists in Belgrade.
Another report says that an attemp
has been made to assassinate th'
Queen of Servia, three shots having
been fired at her while she was driving
near Semlin.
