MERGING OF TWO COLLEGES
IS BEING CONSIDERED

Plans are being discussed by the
management of Port Byron academy
at Port Byron and of the Geneseo
Collegiate institute at Gencseo for
the consolidation of the two institu-
tions. says the Moline Mail.
If carried out according to the
plan outlined. the academy al Port
Byron would he abandoned and its
Interests merged in the institute at
Geneseo. under new name prob
ably.
No action has been taken yet to-
ward the end in view. but at the an
nuaI sessions of the directors Of both
schools which will be held this
month. the proposition will be dis
cuSsed.
The Port Byron school Is a Con
gregational institution and the one
at Gcncseo a Presbyterian. but ii is
understood that this issue * to he
satisfactorily settled by making it a
Christian but undenominatiOnal
school.
The terms of the merger are I'M
derstood To he that the two join

upon the basis of their present value,
this To give the Geneseo institution
a majority of the stock in a com
Pany and majority of the board OF
trustees. because of the much better
building which ii possesses. But
these details will all be settled larer.
Both schools are old and have
been maintained through donations
for long time. Neither has had
very many students and never more
than enough To just about pay eX-
penScs. Now the attractions of the
larger colleges have still more de-
pleted their classes and the combi-
nation is thought to offer both advan-
tageS which are not possible apart.

MEN HER VICTIMS
Aaron Woodruff Follows His
Bride From Indiana
to This City.
WERE MARRIED TWO WEEKS AGO
Husband Makes Various Charges
Against the
Woman.

Aaron Woodruff, of Lafayette, Ind.
arrived in the city this morning in
search of his wife, to whom he was
married two weeks ago at Delphi.
Ind. He and Officers Schnert and
Thode found the woman living in
shantyboat i'm the west part of the
city with George Lowe and she and
Lowe were arrested for illegal CO.
habitation.
The story of Mr.. Woodruff who is
a middle-aged confectioner of Lafay-
cite. adds second chapter to
story that was begun here Il year
ago. The local police were after this
woman, who was then known as Ellen
Freeman, for stealing a watch from
an old soldier of PeIlin. She got
away on shantyboat with Lowe at
that time and had not been heard
from till recently.
1t now appears that she went to
Lafayette last September and led an
exemplary life, gaining the conf
dence of people of means there.
Before she left Lafayette two weeks
ago. it is claimed. she broke into
house and stole a quantity of cloth
ing, part of which was found in her
possession today. There were -
door keys found in her trunk and
the police believe she is one of the
worst female offenders that has been
apprehcnlcd here in years.
Has Husband Here.
1t appears that she has obtained
money from Il number of men on Il
promise to marry them and the
charge of using the mails to dcfraud
has been preferred against her by
her husband. who promises to prose
cute her To the fun extent of the law.
She has been married at least twice
before the latest venture and one of
her husbands named Johnson, lives
in this city.

TALES OF THEATRE.

I he Amelia bingham company pre-
scented the drama, a Modern Magda
len," written by Haddon Chambers,
and interpreted by an eXceptionally
strong and well balanced company at
the Illinois last evening. The produc-
ton has been well described as a
problem play, dealing with certain
phases of life i'm the metropolis, from
which it is sought to draw the proper
moral. Miss Roselle Knott in the
leading role was all that might have
been expected of Miss Bingham her
self, while w. j. Ferguson and Daniel
Jarrett shared i'm the high measure
of appreciation of dramatic art that
was bestowed. The others of the

Richard Carvef' needs no praise at
this late day, for it has been tried
and found true. 1t is n high class
play, written by an eminent writer
who understands narrative and dra-
matte construction as no other wri-
ter does, and one who is able to inn
press you with what he leaves unsaid
1t has been dramatized by one who
knows every detail and artifice in
dramatic art, thus giving TO the text
a crispness and brightness and to the
situation an intensity of dramatic
force that would have suffered ma
terially in less experienced hands.

OVER HALF IS DONE
Progress of Work on the Henne-

CAPT. L. L. WHEELER TALKS
Waterway Will be n Great Regula-
tor OF Freights, He
Believes.
CAPT. L. L. WHEELER TALKS

Capt. l.. L. Wheeler, in charge of
the Hennepin canal construction
work, in an interview says that the
Hennepin canal is something more
than hal. finished and that the work
is being done better than was origi-
nally contemplated.
The cost has been much greater
than the estimates because of the in
creased price of labor and all mater
ials that enter into its construction.
When the Milan bridge was built the
steel i'm it cost a cent and a quarter
pound. The steel for the bridges
now costs cents pound. The pass
ing of the law making eight hours
days labor added 20 per cent to the
labor cost, and lumber has advanced
i'm price.
There has been some means adopt
ed to save money. The use of con
crete instead of cut stone for the
locks has been a great saving. and
the methods of handling the dirt has
improved SO that there was saving
there. but the savings are not enough
to overcome the rise in prices.

Work of Year.

The work on the canal, said the
captain. has been very slow this year
because of the weather conditions.
The contractors could not handle
dirt and little other work could be
done because of the rain. There has
been n large amount of riprapping
done with the stone taken from the
grounds at Rock Falls. 1t is not
made quite as heavy as it ought to be
but the best is being done that can
be with the material that can he had.
The work at Milan, he said, has prov
ed to be all that was expected. 1t
has stood the wear without any
apparent depreciation. He would
like to make all the riprapping as
good as that, but has not enough ma
terial available.
