THE ICE SITUATION.

AS announced in our last issue, the
Consumers Ice company OF Pine Bluff
has perfected arrangements aud the
first shipment for the local trade at
this place will arrive today. Mr..
Bruce Gordon is local manager for
the company and a wagon Will make
the rounds and deliver anywhere from
a nickcls worth UP as may be de-
sired.
The Herald has no personal inter-
EST in the matter. bat il does argue
that the price of ice has been too high
and that Camden citizens should
avail themselves Of the opportunity
to get it at cheaper rates not only
for the present time but for all time
to come.
In this latitude ice is a necessity.
The comfort and health OF all people,
rich and poor. is dependent upon a
cheap and ready supply. Those who
furnish it are entitled TO fair renllln-
Grafton, but the price should not be
burdensome to the consumer and a
gold mine to the manufacturers. In
all other lines of domestic necessities
there is competition that regulates
the cost. Why should there not be
in ice? No doubt there viii be great
reduction in price made, but if the
people are wise they will stand by
the company that has come into the
field and given them relief until such
time at least that the local plant
will give positive guaranty that the
price will not go back to the old fig
ures should the opposition company
leave the field This is both mat
ter of common sense and public vel
fare-Camden Herald.

Magda, a four act play filled With
pathos and sentiments of love for
home and all that is dear was pre-
scented at the Park Casino theatre
last night by Miss Marie Dale and
her company of excellent players.
The inclement weather was the cause
of small attendance. but those for
tunate enough to be present witness
ed an excellent production of the
play which was translated from the
German. Miss Dale in the title role
portrayed the character in her usual
admirable manner and in the last act
displayed dramatic ability Of great
force. Mr.. Atkinson was all that
could be asked and his portrayal of
the character demonstrated that he
is an actor Of ability. The other

pectations.- (Forida) Even

EAST MOLINE
John O'Connor, of Bloom
ington, Shot in Sa-

BY HENRY VERNUIS
Two 32-CaIibre Bullets Enter
Stomach and He Cannot
Recover.
BY HENRY VERNUIS

As a result of a shooting affair in
line this afternoon, John O'Connor, of
Bloomington. is in the city hospital
and will probably die of two bullet
wounds in his stomach. Henry Yer
NUS. aged p, who did the shooting, is
in Jail awaiting an investigation.
O'Connor. with three others, all
strangers, entered Callawaert's saloon
this afternoon shortly after o'clock.
In a short time the three men began
to start trouble. and were ordered out
by the bartender, Vernuis. Instead OF
becoming orderly. O'COnnor picked up
a chair and threw it at the bartender's
head. The chair shattered mirror,
and was followed by heavy cuspidor.
Vernuis then drew a 32-calibre revol
yer from behind the bar, at sight OF
which the men with O'COnnor fled
from the room.
O'Connor stood still, and the two re
yOlver shots were directed at him VITA
careful aim. Both took effect in the
stomach and abdomen, and DIR. Taylor
who has charge of the patient, says he
cannot live The injured man was re-
moved to Moline on the interurban, and
was taken to the city hospital in the
