RAILWAY NOTES.

With today the last of the offices of
the old Peoria road will have ceased
to exist. William Osborne, the road
master of the Peoria branch. has
held Office in the Twentieth street
depot since the absorption of the
Peoria by the Rock Island, but he has
now been appointed roadmaster of the
Bureau branch, and as he can handle
the two pieces of track better from
Peoria, he has been ordered TO re-
port at that place tomorrow to estab-
fish headquarters there.
Since the removal of the engineers
office Connected with the Peoria
branch to Chicago several months
ago, Mr.. Osborne's office has been
the sole remnant of the headquarters
of the Peoria left here. This removal
leaves the offices of the Coal Valley
Mining company the only ones ON the
upper floor of the Twentieth street
building.
Fred Ward, of Princeton. Mo-. has
taken the position of night ticket
agent at the Fifth avenue station of

The Muscatine News-Tribune has
learned fromauthoritative sources that
the Milwaukee road is to purchase
the Muscatine North q South, built by
the people of that city for the pur-
pose of getting an outlet other than
than afforded by the Rock Island
road. with which the city has been in
a perpetual wrangle. The NJ. n. & S.
is now defunct and has been ordered
sold within 60 days unless its debts
are paid. 1t is thought that the Mil
waukee, which will enter Muscatine
when the new short line is placed in
operation, will buy the road before
the order of sale is put in effect, and
that with the feeling that prevails in
regard to the Rock Island it will be
made paying piece of property.
w. NJ. La Venture, formerly chief
clerk in the passenger department of
the Peoria road and since the consol-
idatiOn city ticket agent for the Rock
Island at Davenport. has been APP
pointed travelling passenger agent,
with headquarters at Davenport.
+. II. Plummer, who for long peri
cd has been connected with the pas
senger department of the Rock Island
in this city and who since the creation
of the city ticket Office has been city
agent, has had the scope of his work
enlarged to the extent of including
the outside work in Moline as we'll as
that in this city. The change, which
will go into effect as soon as an as
sistant is appointed to enter the city
Office, will give Mr.. Plummer oppor-
tunity to go after business in this
vicinity in manner that has not be-
fore been possible.
Mr.. Plummer's office will of course
remain in this city and he will con-
tinue to give his main attention to it
after his assistant becomes familiar
ner, the roads agent, will be relieved
of a measure of his responsibilities in
the passenger department.

The story of "A Chinese Honey
moon" concerns one Simon Pineapple.
who goes to China on honeymoon
with his bride. under the somewhat
unusual condition of being accompa-
MED by her eight bridesmaids. The
chief use of these bridesmaids. appar-
emily, is to blow screeching whistles
whenever Simon forgets for the mo-
ment that he is a married man. This
adds to the general clamor. They also
wear wonderful creations in modern
costumes in the new and absolutely
essential ''octet speciality" Pineapple

sacrifices herself to make that worthy
young man happy. The emperor has
ordered his lord chancellor to find
him a bride, one of the conditions
being that the aspirant for that posi-
ton shall not know the real rank of
her would-be husband, but shall be
allowed to think that he is IA bill post

through the peculiarities of the Chi
nese marriage and other laws. Pine
apple finds himself married to his
niece-that-Nyas-to-b and Hetherton's
| intended bride becomes his mother-in-
law. 1t may readily be observed.
therefore. that atmosphere is not en-
tirely forgotten, even to the extent
of providing Chinese puzzle in the
disposition of the variously related
persons.
| In point of lavishness the produc-
ton of "A Chinese Honeymoon" is en-
titled to much praise. The two scenes,
1.-The garden of the hotel Wang
Wang and 1.-The room in the emper-
ors palace" are magnificent stage
pictures. and, with many richly dress
ed women on the stage, contribute to
the oriental splendor of this latest
and most popular of musical come
dies. In the combinations of color,
one notes the absence of those faults
in taste which so often mar the har-
mony and destroy the artistic effect
of recent stage productions. An eX-
ceptionally pretty and novel effect is
obtained in the second act, where
disappearing and reappearing lines of
chorus girls in bright colored gowns
provide panorama of changing col
or. The management of the Illinois
theatre is noted for having originated
the mail order business back in the
days of the old Columbia theatre.
Special attention is given to out-of-
town patronage.

Some Comment.

The 50-yard dash was a remarkable
race. 1t was close and the time I'M
der the conditions was excellent. In
the 220 Souders was behind until the
last few yards, when by Il desperate
effort he forged ahead and defeated
Millspaugh by a close margin. Hoff-
man made Il good run and was press
ing the others for first and second.
Marquis lacked a little of his custom
airy form, due probably to the unfa-
vorable weather. Webb and Soper
tied for first place, but as Webb had
beaten Soper the week before he was
given the place, thus avoiding a long
and tiresome contest. The mile was
an easy run for the local men. They
set the pace slow and were not crowd
ed, sprinting only about fifty yards.
Hart did fine work in the hammer
throw. He made one throw of lis
feet, but stepped over the ring and
the throw did not count.
Though the records made are not
unusual for the track events, the
coaches are well pleased with the re-
suits, for the conditions of the track
and weather were not those most ia
vorable to fast time. The crowd was
good sized, and was cheerful and en-
thusiastic despite the damp and wind.
Completion Impossible
1t is not likely that the meet will
be finished, as no convenient date can
be set until after the 10th and most
of the boys must put all their time
and effort on other work after that
This is great disappointment to
Rock Islanders. as the boys were in
excellent condition and would have
had strong show for the banner,
They counted on doing the best in the
shot put, hurdles, 440 and one-half
mile events. The places taken i'll
these. supplemented by those in the
pole vault, discus throw, broad jump
and two-mile bicycle race would have
sufficed to defeat the Davenport
team.

UNABLE TO FINISH
Rain Interfered With High School
Dual Meet Saturday
Afternoon.
HAD SLIGHT LEAD
Local Athletes Believe They WOuld
Have Won Had Other
Events Been Run.

After having run off six of the
events scheduled, the managers de-
cided that it would be impractical to
finish the dual track meet between
the high schools of Rock Island and
Davenport Saturday afternoon. Dur
ing the first events the track was in
fine condition. but in a short time it
became rather heavy. The Rock ISL
and boys were just beginning to over
take Davenport's lead and had COW
cred all but six points. The Daven-
port boys are much faster men in the
sprints and get up better in the high
jump; thus the score at first was
largely in their favor. In the 22O.
however. Souders succeeded in taking
first, with Hoffman third. The mile
run was another victory for the local
athletes, they winning first and sec
ond. The boys had hoped to finish
the meet. and are confident that had
they done so Davenport would have
been compelled to lower her proud
standards. The following events
were run before the referee called the
meet off:
