ence FTieStat. promising young stu
dent Of the violin. Frank Friestat. who
is beginning his musical career as a
teacher of the piano at the Augustana
college, has kindly consented to ac-
company them.
We look forward with great antici-
patton to the vocal solo of the youth
full tenor. Ernest Reese. of the Dav-
export high school, and to have a
recitation of humorous nature by
Theodore Eichelsdorfer, student of
our own high school.
The Mozart orchestra has selected
two symphonies. one by Haydn. the
other by Romberg. both full of har-
mony as the sound symphony eX-
presses. In them we shall hear the
cuckoo call inviting us to the green
woods. and the nightingale's sweet and
mclodious voice thrills among mid
night hour. The quail peacefully calls
her little ones in the sunlit fields, the
flute, the violins, and all other instru-
ments of the shepherds join in the
concert of nature.
Also the past winter that so faith
fully remained with us finds reward
in the selection, "A Merry Sleigh
Ride" The beating of the drums. the
sound of the trumpets and horns. the
jingiing of sleigh bells, the cracking
of whips, the merry voices of the
young people will remind us of happy
days of good winter. Again we pass
out of our lovely town. over the gilt
tering. snowy surface of river. valley
and hills, we stop at the modest vii
lage inn and enjoy its warmth and re-
freshmentS. Then our merry return!
Our laugh awakens the peaceful sleep
ers. they are angry at being aroused.
we only too sorry. regretting that again
a happy evening is thing of the past.
The fourth selection is a double
quartet consisting of voices select
from the Mozart orchestra. The audi
ence may criticize and determine how
great is the future of those young
singers.
This all will he heard at the concert,
and all that the Mozart orchestra
wishes is that we have lovely spring
evening. that the spacious auditorium
of the high school be filled with kind
friends. and that the god Pluvius
understand that he is very unwel-
come guest.

BEST OF TALENT ENGAGED
FOR HIGH SCHOOL CONCERT

Miss Augusta HelpensteH. in
structor of modern languages at the
high school, and manager of the Mo-
Fart orchestra, calls attention to the
concert Friday evening as follows:
The Mozart orchestra of the Rock
Island high school has cause 10 look
back to the past week with pride. For
wherever the members of the orches-
ira have asked for kind assistance for
their concert. to be given this week,
Friday, they have been given an ami
able reception. Their friends on whom
they called to sell tickets, have receiv-
ed them with an encouraging smile
and generally they left the house
minus one of more tickets.
The Mozart orchestra believe they
have succeeded in arranging n pro-
gram which by its variety promises to
make the evening of the 18th of May
an interesting one, as will be seen in
the program, which will be published
in n few days. Prof. T. Rudolph Reese,
of Davenport. famous there and
among German composers and plan
lists, will appear as leader of the mix
ed chorus. consisting of members of
the Singing society of the Turnverein
of Davenport. The Misses Anna Deg
Ter and Marguerite Reese. both we'll
known for their sweet yet powerful
voices. in the musical circles of Dayen-
port. and neighbcring cities. kindly
promise some vocal duets and solos.
There will be two violin solos. one
given by Prof Franz ZedeIer. whom
as violin artist it is unnecessary to
introduce and another by Miss Flor

Peoria to Rock Island is completed,
or as soon as possible thereafter, an
other line running parallel with the
c., 3. & Q. railroad will also be com
pleted, so that changes may be made
for points along either interurban
railroad. The same rule will be OBJ
served in connecting with the lines
running east and south of Peoria. 50
that in the end the whole of central
Illinois will be traversed by interur-

The Mckinley syndicate, which
now has several interurban lines I'M

already operating several similar lines
in Indiana and three in Illinois. 1t
also owns and operates street rail-
way system in Danville, Decatur.

The franchise for operating within
the city limits of Peoria is now being
prepared and it will be presented to
the city council one week from Tues
day night. As soon as the exact route
out of the city is definitely decided
upon. work on the line will begin at
once and will be pushed through to

Busy with Correspondence.

Recentlyit was noticed that the wife
applied herself with unusual industry
to her correspondence. Her husband
thought little of il. for she has kept
in communication with friends or rel
atives ever since he became acquaint
ed with her.
About two weeks ago two mysteri-
Gus drafts were received by her. She
said they were from relative and
that the money was for another rela-
tive. Last week she came to Rock
Island to cash the paper. The two
drafts yielded $50.
Now the husband is not entirely un-
sophisticated. as his success in the
matrimonial advertising business at
tests. and he began to have his sus,
picions. He conducted an investiga-
ton, necessarily quiet, and found that
there were grounds for his worst
fears. More than that, for Il divorce,
probably. The case was cinched when
the village postmaster received an in
quiry from a gentleman in the west
and took the husband into his conf
dence. Now the whole village knows
about it.
1t appears that the willy dame is adj
vertising still. She keeps Il standing
adj in matrimonial journal. Being
an exceptionally clever correspondent
for one of her station and attain
ments. she is able. when luckless
wife seeker bites, to lure him on till
he reaches the point of sending her
the price of a railway ticket and pos
sibly few extra plunks for trous
seau.

Rock Island County Woman Has

NOW REALIZES CASH RETURNS

Fare From Stricken
Ones.

1t pays to advertise, No one
appreciates the trutl. OF this trite
saying, unless all accounts are sadly
amiss, more than certain woman
who resides in one of the outlying viii
lagos in this county. She obtained "a
husband in that manner. But her adj
vertising did not stop there, it seems.
Several years ago it was that her
ad, judiciOusly inserted and well fol
lowed up with credentials, secured
man. veteran of the civil war, by the
way, and also of two previous matri-
mOnial experiences.
The deal was for better or worse,
and il is needless to state that both
parties were disappointed. She had
represented herself to be young.
handsome and sweet-tempered. He
had written that he was a doctor. and
enclosed a tin-type of himself in his
regimentals, giving the Inference that
it was the Spanish war instead of the
civil war that he had participated in.
When they met both saw that they
were up against it and resolved to
make the best of it. So they were
married and have been living together
in some sort of fashion ever since.
Her past has been Il sealed book, be-
cause she prefers to keep it so, and
whenever he tries to enlighten her of
his experience in which two other
wives figure she raises her thin, pierre
ing voice and he is glad to shut up.
Occasionally she lands on him with
such domestic articles as happen to
be about, but no veteran who has
faced screaming shot and shell on the
battlefield would desert his own house
permanently for volley of mere
pots, kettles, rolling pins. etc.

Since making this shocking revela-
ton the husband has been doing a
little figuring as to how it came that
he got the woman instead Of parting
with his coin for naught, as the later
victims have done. He recalls that
he did not send the cash. He sent

of the cash.

The Valdosta Times closes an
answer to the organs of congress-

paragraph, which discovers a
very correct knowledge of the
wiley Jimmie's strongest points:
The Times has never been
"vindictive and bitter" toward
Mr.. Griggs for the reason that
we have treated him so seriously.
We have always known him as
candidate for Office, smooth,
nervv politician, and nothing has
happened during his congression-

estimate of him. If this is SLAM

words, the company received

We know Editor Hanlon does
not consider this a rash promise,
that he will agree with us that
much good can be accomplished
along the line suggested.
The fact that there are attor-
neys who will encourage suits

part of what may be gotten out

couraged.
A lawyer that will take a suit,
based on a forgery against a

torting a compromise ought to
be disbarred, certainly ought to

A correspondent of the Cor
dele Sentinel calls attention to the
drain on Cordele and Dooly coun-
ty for liquor. He says in part:
Editor Sentinel:-It seems to
me, as to the minds of some
others, that the flood of money
amounting to some $1,000, that
go from Dooly county every week
for liquor could be stopped here
and help to educate our children.
With the help of other interest
ed parties have been trying to
keep count of the jugs and pack
ages of liquor that came to the
express Office at Cordele during
the last two months, and we have
decided that there is an average
of 400 gallons of liquor received
here every week. Calculating
this at $500 per gallon, which is
below the cost of good liquor, we
find that $1,000 go from Cordele
every week for liquor"
He goes on to explain how he
proposes to stop this drain by
establishing a dispensary which
will save to the county $4,000 per
month.
The Dawson News received in
the same mail tells us how Daw-
son, which has the model dispen-
sary, paid out $41415 for liquor
last year.
Establishing dispensary does
not stop a drain, but in a COM
munity where liquor is sold,
dispensary simply saves to the
taxpayers the net profits that,
under the bar-room system, go
to the dealers. But dispensary
in a county where liquor is not
sold does not stop any drain,
but increases it, for prohibition
DOES lessen the consum ption.

We would advise mothers to be
careful about leaving the infant
with a cat. We do not favor the
idea of cats sleeping with children
Nor do we favor the practice of
Children playing with cats, hand1-
ing them, hopping them around
the floor, fondling them, dressing
them UP as dolls. It is not good
for the cat. It is not good for
the child. Neither cats nor dogs
ought to be treated in this man
ner. They are all right in their
place, but they are not fit for
playthings.
If the superstition that a cat
can suck a child's breath has
operated as a preventive to
mothers allowing their children
to play with cats, it has served a
very good purpose, but such
childish notions are hardly COM
patible with mature reflection.
1t is. one of the old wives fables
which may have served a good
purpose, but is too ridiculous for
repetition. There are other and
better reasons why the cat and
baby should rot be left together
than the vague, unintel1igib1e
fear that the cat will suck the
child's breath-Medica1 Talk.
