arrangement has ever been suggested
or considered" said Attorney H. b.
Betty, who represents the civic feder
alton. 1T is the last thing, | may say,
that would be considered. Gambling
behind closed doors is as unlawful as
any other kind of gambling, and the
civic federation has but one object
in view here, and that is the enforce
ment of law. Others may be lodging
it, but the Civic federation is not.
There will be no more gambling in
Davenport while the Civic federation
is here. The federation submitted evil
dence to the April grand jury which is
still good, and should secure the in-
dictment of any gambler who attempts
to re-enter the business here

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The junior class has decided to give
the seniors a hop the evening of June
2 at the Watch Tower The seniors
recommended to the juniors some time
ago that they give hop rather than
a banquet and the juniors have acted
on the suggestion.
The preparations for the glee club
concert are nearly completed. A spe-
cial rehearsal was held yesterday af-
ternoon and the quartet was selected.
The men were Joseph Smith, first
tenor, Harry Frey, second tenor, Ly-
man Weld, first bass and Ben Benson,
second bass. The quartet will render
selection at the concert. A large
audience is expected and although
many anticipate that the concert will
be a farce, judging from the school
glee clubs of years past, yet the boys
expect to give creditable account of
themselves. The concert will pros.
ably be given week from next Friday.

HOW THE FARMERS Do
IN WHlTESIDE COUNTY
Have Three Institutes of a Day Each
in Different Sections Instead
of Usual Plan.

WhiteSide county farmers have ar
ranged to have three institutes during
the coming winter. They will all take
place during December, one being at
Tampico, one at ProphetStown and
the other at Erie. Each is to hold
for but single day, the idea being
that with this arrangement a greater
number will be benefited than were
the sessions combined into one. This
might prove another solution for the
problem in Rock Island county if finan-
cial support for full two day institute
in each end of the county is not forth
coming

WITHOUT QUARTERS
city Merely Permits the Use of the
Offices In the Municipal Side Of
joint Building.

When the new juvenile court commits
sion meets this afternoon for the frst
time TO consider matters pertaining to
that Institution. one OF the first things
that will occupy its attention win be
the providing OF suitable quarters for
the court which. at the present time
really has no place for the transaction

The reason for this Is TO be found IN
the fact that the building Is the joint
property " the city and county, and
that the state offices occupied there

ing a state institution. has been ten
ant on the city side Of the building, as
was said by Mayor Bransford yester-

matter, said
"The building is owned by the city
and county. and the juvenile court has
occupied its offices In the city side of
the building for long time. and we
have never charged any rent for them,
yet the state pays rent to the county
for many offices on It's side Of the
building. Last Thursday the time for
which the juvenile court was given the
rooms expired, and we may want the
rooms for something else
Willard Done, private secretary TO eX-
Gov. Cutler. and secretary TO the juve-
nile court commission, said that the
time for which the arrangement had
been made with the city, for the occu-
pancy Of the offices OF the Juvenile
court expired the first % the year. and
IL would now devolve upon the mem
bers Of the new commission TO provide
a home for the juvenile court.
In the meantime Monday, the juve-
nile court room was taken possession
of by the referee hearing the case OF
