MAY FESTIVAL SEASON
TICKETS LIMITED TO 500

Many people have asked what the
object of the Rock Island festival
was. The object of the Rock Island
musical festival. to he given May 80
and 81. is TO give the best music in
the best way. To do this il is neces-
sary to bring great orchestra and.
eminent SoloiSts for the perform
ancc of works worthy of such occa-
siuns. What has been achieved thus
far in Clinton and Dubuque with the
same aggregation of artists which
appear here, is such that il compares
favorably with cities ten and twenty
times the size. The seating capacity
of the houses is all sold out and the
sale of seats already closed in both
places. although these concerts do
not take place till May. Therefore
local pride alone ought to urge every
citizen and music lover to attend the
Rock Island festival. The Amateur
Ladies' chorus will be one of the dis
tinct features of the second nights
concert. The Rose of Avontown,"
for female chorus, soprano solo and
will be rendered. Miss Gcnevieve
Clark Wilson taking the solo part.
The season ticket for the two even
ings and one afternoon is So. while
the single admission will be Sl.50. The
sale of season tickets is limited to
five hundred. therefore all desir-
ing them are requested to leave their
names at Lloyd's as soon as possible,
as these tickets are not only being
sold in Rock Island, but in adjoining
towns.

COLLEGE TO FORE
Augustana to Rank With Leading
Universities in Matter
of Athletics.
ERICSSON PARK TO BE IMPROVED
Board of Directors Votes Financial
Aid-Joy Among
Students.

Augustana college students were at
work today taking the sod off the
baseball diamond in Ericsson park.
This undertaking marks the begin
ming of Il number of changes and inn
provements to be made upon that
pretty tract of land which mean a
radical departure in college athletics.
At a. meeting of students held this
week il was voted to fence in Fries
son park and provide il with every
thing needful to make out-of-door
athletics success as conducted at
other colleges and universities. The
brick building known as Ericsson
hall is to be torn away and the dou-
BILE row of trees through the park
extending from Fifth avenue south
are to he grubbed out and the drive
way levcIed.
To Fence In Property.
The entire property will then he
fenced i'm with high iron enclosure
such as the campus at the state uni
versity of Illinois is provided with.
\ model baseball diamond is to be
laid out and football gridiron pre-
pared and grandstand erected. To
encourage desire ON the part of the
public to get inside and see the games
rather than look through the fence
it is proposed to further follow the
plan in vogue at other colleges of
setting up canvass attached TO posts
just inside the fence, the same 10 he
removed when the park is not i'm use.
Means Much for Institution.
This Improvement means much for
Augustana college. In the past there
has been no organized control of ath-
letics and the students have been
compelled to rely upon their own re-
sources. The result has been that
the institution has ranked very little,
if any. ahead of the high schools of
the three cities in this respect. Pres
ident Andreen favors athletics and
the Improvement of Ericsson park *
to be undertaken with his consent
and encouragement. The board of
directors have shown that they are
also in favor of the plan by voting
$500 toward expenses.

The secretary Of the Tenants Pro-

culiarly unjust and hard hearted dis
traint on the part Of a Peckham land
lord.
Last December a widow took a house
In Peckham upon an annual tenancy,
ut rental OF $50, and was foolish
enough to sign an agreement containing
a clause which specified that the rent
was to be paid quarterly in advance.
She was allowed to enter without any
prepayment, and on the 25th Of March
six months, f19, was demanded one
quarter due and one quarter in advance.
This, OF course, she was unable to paw.
and before March had run out her home
was stripped from kitchen to attic of
all Its furniture save and except what
was contained in one small bedroom.

the door was brutally forced, of a we'll
known Church Of England clergyman,
who was rendering to the girl dying Of
