Illinois interurban, which has long
been awaited will go into effect Nov.
/. On that date passenger car will
leave Davenport for Clinton every
hour. beginning at O'Clock in the
morning and continuing util 10 O'Clock
at night An owl car will leave DaVen-
port at 11:30 This schedule is the
realization of one of the long-cherisheI
plans of Manager Crafts That it was
not put in force some time ago was
due to the condition of tracks and low
geared cars. The new cut off through
the extension of East River street in
Davenport aids materially in the low
ering of the schedule as the old run
through Eddy street consumed great
deal of time The TTiCity street rail
way cars for BettendoTf do not now
use the l. & l. tracks until well out
Of the city. and therefore conflict is
reduced to a minimum. The roadbed
on the entire system has been impTOv-
ed until it is now in splendid shape
The cars have been gearcd mp 50 that
if they have to they can run 50 miles
per hour, but it will not be necessary
to make more than 40 miles an hour

Though Excitement Has Subsid
ed at Augustana, Difficulties
Are Anticipated.
FACULTY IN LONG SESSION
Considers Complaints of Action of Ger
tain Students - Resignation of
Class Officers is Demanded.

While the excitement among the
students of Augustana has subsidized.
there are nevertheless indications that
there will be serious consequences and
considerable difficulty encountered be-
fore the affair can be settled with the
authorities The faculty convened last
evening and remained in session until
the early hours of the morning for the
purpose of considering the incidents in
connection with the affair this week
The conduct of some of the students
was given particular attention, but as
far as can be learned no definite action
has been taken. There have been
number of serious complaints made
against several of the students.
Board Had the Authority.
II has been learned that while the
board of directors gave the impression
that the ruling of the synod was imper-
alive it was merely suggestive and the
synod's resolution simply disappTovcs
Of intercollegiate contests and sug.
gests their adjustment.
Some of the students. after the board
of directors had taken the stand
against basketball and had declared il
self to be acting under the ruling of
the synod took occasion to examine
the minutes of the synod in order to
present the matter of a repeal to the
next synod properly, and according to
those who conducted the investigation
the board of directors have somewhat
misrepresented their authority. 1t is
explained by some that the directorate
were not aware of the exact nature Of
the action of the synod. 1t had been
supposed by the general public that
the synod's disapproval was impera-
tive prohibition of such contests, but thar
does not seem 10 be the case.
Ask for designations.
There is no little ill-feeling among
the students at the present time as al
result of the division and the outcome
of the mass meeting at the gymnasium
last evening was the request of the re-
signations OF the president of the soph
omore class and of the college league
Otto Peterson was elected chairman of
the meeting and after reading the re-
port of the executive committee, voted
to accept the decision of the board Of
directors. After a discussion of the
action taken Tuesday night by the
students as to whether or not it would
be proper TO adopt a resolution of re-
great for the affair, the members pres
ent decided negatively.
President Andreen and the members
of the faculty regret very much the
conditions as they exist.

Because cod liver oil lacks
just one ingredient the blood

So, in taking VinOl, you get

The critIo ON the Hearth.

1t may be argued from a story in
Lord Edmond Fitzmaurice's Life" Of
the second Earl Granville that a wife
with a seeing eye can size up her hus-
band quite as accurately as an astute
politician. When Sydney Herbert, the
first Lord Herbert Of Lea, resigned
the war Office in 1851, Palmerston, then
premier, fixed upon the scholarly Sir
George COrnewall Lewis to succeed
him.
Lady Theresa Lewis Immediately ex-
pressed her doubt of her husbands fit
ness for the office, but Palmerstou's
messenger argued the point, saying the
duties would not be military, but civil.
"He would have to look after the
accounts"
"He can never make up his ownr'

The superstition in agricultural com-

that the moon also influences the

of the ashes of burned bees, u dram
of the ashes Of southern wood, one

The explosive harpoon. which is the

Immense creatures. Its most striking
feature next to the bomb head, which

IN the vitals OF the whale, Is the anchor
like device that prevents the harpoon
drawing out OF the body again under
the terrific strain OF the wounded mon
ster's frantic efforts to free itself. This
consists of four hinged bnrbs, which
lie along the shaft before II is fired, but
which are forced apart and imbed

His Hat His Favorite ReceptacIe For
Letters and Papers,.

His Hat His FnvOrite Receptacle For
Letters and Papers.
When Lincoln was postmaster Of
New Salem he used to tuck the letters
inside his hat and deliver them when
ever he happened to meet the persons
to whom they were addressed. AS this
is a fair example of his business sys-
TEN, it may readily be imagined that
the Office Of Stuart & Lincoln was not
a model establishment, where there
was a place for everything and every
thing in its place. And it was moi. In
deed, as a managing clerk the Junior
partner would have been a hopeless
failure, and as IN attorney, In the
technical sense Of the term, he would
never have distinguished himself. He
disliked everything connected with the
drudgery OF legal routine, hated draw
ing the declarations and pleas. despis-
ed the artihcialities and refnements
which were even then beginning to
creep into the pleadings and disregard
ed forms whenever it was possible to
do so.
There was nOtnlng pre-
else or m~ethodical about the man, and
in all those ~housewlfely virtues which
characterized the careful. orderly, ex-
act solicitor he was utterly deficient.
He never knew where his papers were,
and apparently the only attempt be
ever made to better the disorder was to
write on one of his bundles of papers
which Uttered his desk. 'When you
can't find it anywhere else, look in
this" But that was long after the firm
of Stuart & Lincoln had dissolved, and
ever then we find him explaining to a
correspondent that he had placed his
letter inside an old hat and had thus
neglected answering It. which shows he
had not wholly outgrown the habit OF
his postofice days. Indeed, his hat con-
tinued to be his favorite receptacle for
papers ms long as he lived. and be
