Planning Club -Play.-The Belgian


| Planning Club Play.-The Belgian
club is planning to entertain the pub
lie with play at Turner hall Sunday
evening, JAN %. The cast is compos-
ed largely of those who have taken
parts in the previous plays given by
the club. and the cast of characters is
exceedingly strong. This is the third
play which has been put on by this
organization. The play will be put on
under the management of c. DeVoge-
laer, and the proceeds will be used for
the benefit of the club. Rehearsals are
progressing nicely and the play prom
ises to be staged in a most excellent
manner.
Another Odd Fellows Encampment.-
Moline is to have new Odd Fellows
encampment, which will be formed
Monday evening. Jan. 29, according TO
advices received from Grand Patriarch
Chester NJ. Turner. The grand officers
will be here in person to institute the
encampment and big time is expected
by the local Odd Fellows. In addition
to the grand officers, visitors will be
here from Davenport. Rock Island and
Erie. One degree will be put on by
the degree team of each of the lodges
from these cities. AT present there is
but one encampment in Moline, and
as the number of Odd Fellows is about
1000 in all the lodges, it was thought
best to organize another encampment
ior the good of the order. With friend
ly rivalry it is believed that both en-
cainpments will prosper The new en-
campment will start with about 125
members.
New Lodge to Be Formed.-A new
lodge will probably be instituted in
Moline during February +. c. Downs.

First Arrest Made.-Perry Barber,

be arrested under the new health ordi-

the city council. Yesterday Health Of
ficer Ed Jones swore out warrant
against Barber for throwing the con-
tents of a vault on the ice on the river
between Thirty-fourth and Thirty-sev-
enth streets. However, at his hear |
ing he gave sufficient explanation to |
his dismissal, although it was |
from his vault another party had done |
the work.
Poles Outside City.-There was a
furry of excitement Tuesday when a |
report was sent in to the authorities
that poles were being erected by the
Central Union Telephone company on
avenue and Fourth street.
An officer was detailed to stop the
gang at its work. He found that the |
men were erecting poles on the south
side of Nineteenth avenue, just outside
the city limits. So there was nothing
for him to do but to return to the sta
lion and report to this effect
