TREBLE CLEF CHORUS
GIVES ENTERTAINMENT
Program of Musical Numbers and
Readings by Organization from
Cornell College,

A most successful and pleasing en-
tertainment was given last evening at
the First Methodist church. when the
Treble Clef chorus of Cornell college.
at Mount Vernon, Iowa rendered a
concert program of exceptional merit.
The chorus is composed of II ladies'
under the direction of Miss Shupp and
they were assisted by Miss Lucinda
Maier. reader; Miss Blanche Gibboney,
pianist and accompanist, and Charles
R.sPollock. baritone. The chorus num-
bers were all rendered in pleasing
manner and reflected careful and pains
taking direction. Miss Maier, as read
er is deserving of special mention, her
delivery and fine bits of Interpretation
and impersOnation being above the av-
erage. Mr.. Pollock has a pleasing
voice, while Miss Gibboney showed
much ability as a pianist and accom-
PIANIST. The church was filled almost
to it's capacity and the proceeds of the
concert and refreshments, which were
served following the concert, melted a
sum sufficient to defray all expenses
connected with the purchase of piano
for use in the church.

NOW WANTS CHIEF
Mayor McCaskrin Offers Head Of
Police Department to Capt.
O. e. Mckinley,
BUT 1T is Declined BY HIM
Hopeful Sign, However, in Fact That
There Has Been an AWak-
ening.

| There is one somewhat hopeful sign
of the times
| Mayor George Washington McCask-
rim has awakened to realization of
| the desirability of competent chief
of police. He has discovered that there
might be some one in all Rock Island
beside himself capable of discharging
the duties.
To that end he has made a formal
tender of the office.
Captain Otis f. Mckinley is the one so
honored.
But the captain has declined
The offer was made a week ago, and
Captain Mckinley took time to think K
over. Today he informed the mayor
that he must respectfully decline
Prefers the <Iondike.
When Captain mckinley was interview
ed on the subject by an Argus repre-
sentative he declined TO say whether
he had been offered the position or not.
Il am not going TO be chief of police
or city marshal or anything OF that
kind was all he would acknowledge.
Il am going back to the KlOndike."
So that Notwithstanding that the
mayor has missed a good man. who
might possibly have been more avail
able had he struck him in the fall in
stead of the spring of the year, there
is some encouragement in the fact
that a chief is found to be desirable.
Captain Mckinley is a river man. He
is likewise upright, conscientious and
courageous. He would have made 2
model head of the police department.
But there is more money for him in
steamboating. especially in the Klon-
dixie. where he has excellent prospects
Hopeful Prospect. Anyway.
But be that as it may, let it be known
that after almost 4 years delay. there
is prospect of Rock Island being
brought up to the standard of deserv-
ing a chief of police. The innumerable
lessons that have been brought home
to the people of the deplorable disad-
vantage of not being so safeguarded,
have been not without effect
Let us all pray that the mayor will
have another look, and be as fortunate
in his choice.
And that the man he chooses, if the
right kind, will not say him nay.

At its regular meeting last evenin 9
the city council made short work of the
Central Union telephone proposition
Upon motion of Alderman Sexton a re-
solution was adopted providing that if
the company does not submit an ac-
ceptable ordinance by Wednesday
evening, an adjourned meeting to be
held at that time, the police powers
shall be taken advantage of to the eX-
tent of removing the poles, posts, ca
bles and wires from the streets.
Hear From Merchants.
While the motion was under discus
sion resolutions were read from the
Retail Merchants association protest
ing against the passage of the revised
ordinance as submitted by the Central
Union Telephone company Upon be-
ing called upon for anything supple
mentary the merchants might have to
offer, w. c. Maucker spoke. He said
that there was little to add to what
was included in their communication
that they were pleased with the Ordin-
ance as submitted by the council to
the company, but asked that the ordin-
ance as presented by the company be
rejected With reference to the charg
es of Doodle and bribery he said. we,
as an association. are not a party to
such charges and have deplored the
fact that these things have been
brought into this controversy We
have said this in public and to the
members of the press" He said that
if the council wanted to take this mat
ter into the courts and to the highest
court, it would find the Retail Mer-
chants association behind them.
H. f. Grothe endorsed Mr.. Maucker
in his sentiments. Resolutions purport-
ing to be from a meeting of citizens sign
ed by Mr.. Grothe as chairman, were
read, but John Looney volunteered the
that Mr. Grothe had not
seen them and did not know what was
in them, so he spoke for these citi-
zens telling what would be satisfac
tory to them, to-wit. that the council
defer action pending an opportunity
for the committee representing the
for which he spoke to investi-
gate further and report.
The council, however, had determin
ed to break off its negotiations and
practically declare war on the spot.
This it did
Mr.. Mann Heard.
The question under discussion
was as to whether the company
should be given one or two days to
bring in an acceptable ordinance or
it should be required to do
It at once. For a few minutes it seemed
rs if the negotiations were at an end.
At this time W. B. Mann, counsel for
he company was given hearing. He
said he wanted to thank the council for
with his company the five diff
ferent ordinances that had been be-
fore it in one way and another. II do
not know" he said, what these organ
zations think of our conduct, but we
think some premium should be placed
upon courtesy. When l first came
here | might have gone into the courts
but | met your mayor
and we got at the matter in business
ike way. We had meeting and we
have had numerous meetings since

"What do you say If we eat dinner

they fell to and ate a little more. Then,

Has the Wasp A6ectiOnH

A colony Of wasps made a nest in the
dark room Of a studio last summer. At
first the party who used the room did
not relish their company, but for GER
tain reasons he did not modest them.
He paid no attention to the little buz-
GERS, and they came and went at their
own sweet will. After Il time he began
to study them and soon came to the
conclusion that they were gradually
becoming acquainted with him, his
ways and his dark room. One day a
stranger was seated on the window sill.
The first wasp entering the room paid
no attention to him, but made for the
old crack in the wall. Then out came
a big fat fellow who darted through
the open window like a bullet. Within
five minutes half a dozen wasps came
with a rush ut the stranger and two
them located him. But the writer
has never been touched by his wasp

While it will be some years before
we will be able to sail the Panama
canal. picking Panama hats from the
bushes along the banks, yet the deci-
sion of congress to make 1t a lock

hasten the time SO that some of us
now living may reap the benefits of
the labor.

to take much of an interest in Il prof.
ect that will be completed in the year

How do we know what kind Of a
race will be inhabiting this country by
that time? If it is the Chinese they
might thank us for the trouble of dig
ging the canal. but what would we get
out of it?

Raters. sailabout. and Lark..

What is Il rater, a sailabout, a lark,
Is a question commonly heard among
those not familiar with yachts and
technical racing terms. A rater is
t~hirty-eight feet long and carries the
double ~sails-sloop rig and lib. The
half rater is thirty-two feet long, car
ries the same style sails as the rater
and usually gets a five minute handi-
cap in rater races. The sailabout car
ries a single large sail and is built on
graceful lines, with rounded sides and
ends. while the lark has square sides
and ends and carries the single sail.
Few larks are built now. Most Of the
yachts recently built have the double
centerboard. The centerboard pre-
vents drifting sidewise, and the single
board Is often entirely out Of water
