 Another stipulation in the granting of the right of way was that two thirds of the streets named in the petition should be equipped with elec- tric railways and in actual operation within two years from the granting of the franchise else the property and franchise would be, forfeited to the city. Mir. Harry Pillans was seen this morning by The Advertisers represen- tative and asked the direct question which heads this article: "Wil the new electric street railway be built?" Mir. Pillans very promptly replied:
 Yes sir As to who with MT. Pillans are the interested owners could not. under any circumstances. be learned. The general opinion. however. is that H.

ever it exhibits. Mr.. Wallace would
like to please the children of every
community, but it is a physical impOS
sbility for the Wallace circus to visit
all of it's towns at just the right time.
| To do such thing would necessitate
the dividing of the show, and this MIR.
Wallace will not do. No matter how
small town the great Wallace show
may visit. it is never divided. 1t is
one of the little rules that has made
the combination what it is. 1t is a fact
that Mr.. Wallace has made greater eff
forts and gone to more expense to en-
terrain the little folks than any other
manager. Older people can always find
entertainment. but it is the little ones
that are neglected by many.

est Shetland ponies ever seen in one

colors These ponies are used in the
cages of the miniature menagerie. AL
most one side of the big menaSerie

cages, made in imitation of the larger

etc. In the circus proper, there are
many clowns, who are employed for
the sole purpose of entertaining the
children. Buster Brown is there, too.
In addition to these attractions must
be added the several acts of trained
animals. The child who is so unfor-
tunate as to be deprived of enjoying
such amusement is losing much in an
educational way.
Bigger Than Circus.-A fairly large
circus requires about Is or 20 cars to

cars to transport it from town to town.

Shows Life in Sums.

Talbot's Fighting the Flames" gives
an exact reproduction of life in the
slums region of Greater New York and
finishes with a fire scene-the very
acme of realism. The story told Is a
consistent one of great force and con
vincing truth. No clearer exposition
of the life of the American fire-fighter
could be made. In the production of
il there is required nearly 500 actors,
200 hundred horses complete fire de-
rartment, and a big three-ring circus.
The stage it is played upon is $50 feet
long. The big show practically builds
Il vast amusement city. Ii requires a
train of 80 cars to transport ii from

will give three exhibitions here on the
4th and 5th of June for the benefit of

HELP FOR THE SICK
Fraternal Benefit Feature to be
introduced in Moline
Church.
DR.. HEDLEY HALLS PLAN
Will Be Put in Operation in October
Not to Interfere With Spiritual
Work.

Fraternalism in church work is
about to be introduced by DR.. Hedley
Hall at the First Unitarian church in
Moline. 1t has been planned by the
pastor for years and at last the congre-
CATION has sanctioned the departure.
So far as is known no such attempt
has ever been made elsewhere.
The proposition is for each member
to pay a stipulated sum regularly as
dues and the benefits will be given
members in time of illness or disabil-
ity. The general plan is similar to that
followed by fraternal societies, but the
details have not yet been worked out.
DR.. l.. d. Dunn was named to appoint
a committee to perfect bylaws so that
they can be placed in operation at the
beginning of the church year in Octo-
ber
Spiritual Welfare First.
The fraternal feature is not to be al
lowed to interfere in any manner with
the spiritual work. 1t is planned to
open the church several nights each
week for meetings to promote sociabil-
ity among the members. DR.. Hall has
been extended call for another year.
