FIVE THOUSAND
GO FROM HERE TO
ST.L0UIS FAIR

Five thousand people went from
Rock Island and Moline to the worlds
fair over the railroads. OF this num-
Der $500 vent over the Burlington,
the remainder having been carried by
the Rock Island, which entered the
exposition city through a connection
with the Chicago & Alton at Peoria.
The Burlington. having a direct line,
was expected to catch the bulk of the
business from local points. According
to the figures obtained at the offices of
the Burlington, $500 tickets were
bought in Rock Island and 1000 at Mo
line. Not during the time of the fair,
when every train on the line was
crowded with passengers, did the Bur-
lington have a single casualty; not
even a claim for lost baggage-a rec
ord that is considered remarkable in
railroad circles. 1t is figured that sew
eral hundred went from Rock Island
to the fair by water.

Mrs. F. o. Van Calder. 1910 Twentieth
street, at o'clock yesterday after
noon, the city lost one of its brightest
and most popular boys.
Advanced intellectually beyond his
years, talented musically, and endow-
ed by nature with a winSOme person
atty, he had endeared himself to all,
both young and old. whose acquaint-
ance he had gained in the few years
that he has spent in the city since the

Charles was taken with typhoid few
er four weeks ago. He was a junior
in the high school, and was carrying
special studies in addition to those
of his regular classes, and was within
five credits OF the senior class. His
close application to study is believed to
have weakened him, although his work
did not appear to affect him until after
he was stricken with the fatal all
ment. which made gradual inroads on
him that his vitality could not resist
Hope for his recovery was abandoned
two days ago, and since then the
watchers had been prepared for the
inevitable.
Charles was born in Sycamore, H.,
March rs. 1888. The family came to
Rock Island in November, 1899, and
had lately moved into their handsome
new home on Twentieth street.
Charles was an enthusiastic athlete
was a leader of the high school basket
ball team, and was a substitute on the
football team during the past fall. He
was an accomplished violinist and
played with the high school orchestra.
He was also a member of the O. u.
l. club, a high school fraternity.
Juniors to Attend Funeral.
The junior class of the school will
hold a meeting this afternoon to take
action on the death of their classmate
The juniors will probably attend the
funeral as a body tomorrow afternoon.
The services will be conducted at the
home at o'clock, and burial will be
in Chippiannock.
The survivors are the parents. and
two sisters. Misses Claire and Cora
Van Calder, to whom will be extended
the sympathy of the whole commun-
ity in their great affiiction.
