trade HERE BIG,
Rock Island Breaks Records Of
Former Years This
Season.
INCREASE IN ALL LINES
Purchases Were Made Early and Bust
ness Was Handled
Easily.

Dimes and dollars, dollars and dimes
are the meriest of all Christmas
chimes.
In the marts of trade Christmas is
depended upon to round out the bust
ness of the year. Trade may jog along
contentedly for nine or ten months,
and possibly IL, but it looks to the
holidays for its grand elimination.
There are some lines which can ahord
to run the greater part OF the year on
a merely nominal showing and then
reap a harvest in the Christmas holt
day season. At all events the retail
trade looks to Christmastide for its
sweepstakes. SO to speak. For weeks
and months before the season arrives
all it's endeavors are made to catch the
holiday trade. There are some men
in Rock Island who will tell you that
they do more business in December
than in all the rest Of the year.
Trade Hs. Been steady.
II that be so they have this year
been most fortunate. The dry goods
and clothing men say that they have
feature of this years holiday trade IS
that the buying began early and was
continuous in its action This is also
borne out by the reports of the men
in the furniture and music trades.
There was a dread that the st. Louis
fair would spoil the holiday trade OF
this year. There was a supPosition
that ii would exhaust the spending
money of the popuiace and that the
purchases made there would take the
place of the usual Christmas presents.
This fear happily proved to be without
foundation and the merchants of Rock
Island when they made their conpnri-
sons found that they had enjoyed tho
greatest holiday trade they ever knew.
Began Buying Early.
AS has been previously stated a
peculiar factor in the trade of this
season is that people began buying
early and thereby avoided the terrific
rush at the close. The pubic is being
educated to this feature OF holiday
trading and it has learned its lesson
well. The result has been that the
holiday trade has been capably han
died and that the. buyers have been
served and in much bet
Ter snaps than in previous years. The
has proved beneficial To-,
both buyer and seller and both have
cause for congratulation. II 1t had
not been for this fact the trade of the
holiday season of 1904 would have
been punched into few strenuous
lays at the close thereof and both
buyer and seller would have had cause
'or complaint. AS II was. the trade
Of the Christmas season of 1904. and
which broke all previous records. was
conducted with comparative ease and

Orchestra and the Opera.


Big musical productions are perhaps
the most expensive form OF theatrical
entertainment and frequently man
ayers with false idea of true econ
omy make the mistake of sending out
on the road cheap companies headed
by unknown singers and comedians.
poorly costumed and with inadequate
scenery. They also sometimes make
the further mistake of relying entirely
upon local orchestras for their instru-
mental music. IL is not that the
local orchestras are not frequently
quite as good as metropolitan msi-
sicians. but IL should be remember
ed that IL is difficult for the local mu-
sicians to properly familiarize them
selves with the music of an opera be-
tween the time Of the arrival of the
company and the first performance.
This often causes a ragged perform
nance In this section OF the coun-
try the average theatre9oer has a
critical appreciation of mnsic and they
keenly resent mediocre presentation

RADIUM IN MEDICINE.
Expected to Work Marvellous Results
I'm the Treatment Of Cancer
and Blindness.

The Anglo.1ndian Review sum.
marizes an interesting account of the
possible future applications of radi.
UNI. The area where success is prac.
tically assured is at present not very
large. but in e medical field it is al.
ready fairly extensive. In the work.
ing of X.rays and in the marvellous re.
suits achieved in the treatment of can
Ger and blindness we have every hope
for great and universally benefiting
results. In its industrial application
we are somewhat restricted by the
extremely limited supply Of radium
available, but it is stated that small
fraction OF an ounce, properly EN-.
ployed, would probably provide a good
light suff1c: ent for several rooms, and
would not require renewal during the
present century. It has been calcu.
lated that the energy stored up in one
gramme of radium is sufficient to
raise 500 tons weight q mile high. An
ounce would, therefore. suffice to drive
60-horsepower motor car at the rate
OF 30 miles an hour round the world.
