gone. So was the woman. He thought
it funny she did not get drunk.
Don't Lone Their Heads.
If he will investigate he will find
that the professional street walker
does not lose her head in drink. She
follows the double ginger ale" stunt.
In other words, in ordering whisky,
she calls for ginger ale on the side.
They are both ginger ales. In the
meantime her victim gradually passes
away" AT the proper moment she
rolls" him. When he wakens he does
not know where or how it happened.
He complains, is discovered to be a
married man, and is reminded of the
peril of exposure-what would his wife
and friends think? He takes the bunch
and is glad to get away as easily as
he does. And the street walker looks
for another lamb the next night.
All should BE Run Out.
There are in the neighborhood of 40
of these women plying their traffic in
this city in the dive saloons. AT
ter the gamblers. their turn should
come. Rock Island can be a good,
busy city without the gambler, with
out the crook, the cut-throat and the
street walker.

The musicale to be given by Miss

exceptional musical event. The two
following clippings are taken from
the New York Musical Courier and
the Fittsburg Gazette:
"a contralto with a wonderful
voice, who instantly captivated her
hearers. Her method and her voice
resembles that of Madame Schumann-
Heink. Her two selections were cal
culated to display the great beauty
and richness of her voice"
HAS one of the finest dramatic
contralto voices heard this season. 4
voice better adapted to grand opera
than chamber concert singing. Sang

of the series of winter dances last
evening at Elks hall Fifty couples
were present. A most enjoyable eve

of which there are four will be held
at the Masonic temple. At their
close, If there IS any surplus fund

gagged to furnish music for the

struction company, and the bids rang
ed up to S47,2s6.
Replaces Frame Building.
The present Grant school is the only
school building In the city Of frame
construction. All the others are Of
brick and most Of them are of Gre
proof construction. The Grant build
ing was erected Is years ago and was
built as cheaply as possible, as the
school authorities felt that a new build-l
ing would be necessary before. many
years elapsed. With this in view the
building was erected at the very edge
of the school lot, and now It viii be
possible to erect the new building in
the center of the lot while the old one
Is still being used. Il
The new building will be construct
ed of brick and reinforced concrete,
and will be strictly modern IN every
respect, and hreproof throughout II,
will be two stories high, and there
will be several features not possessed 4
by the best Of the other schools OF
the city. The building will be 90 feet
long from north to south and ca from
east to west Some IS feet Of the
length from north to south is devoted
to all ell on the south side Of the
building which contains two entrances
to the building. There will be eight
class rooms, a manual training room,
room which can be turned into a
gymnasium, a teachers room, a supply
room, and an Office of the principal.
The manual training room and the
gymnasium are in the basement.
Has Modern Textures.
One of the essential features OF the
building Is that two OF the rooms on
the second floor will be divided by a
rolling partition which can be taken
out, leaving one large room. In addi-
ton to this, part Of the partition be-
tween these two rooms and the outer
hall can be removed and the whole
space thus thrown open will accommo-
date the entire school on such occa-
sions when 4 speaker is to address the
children.
Another feature is that the cloak
room will be under the direct super
vision Of the teachers, as the entranc-
es and exits are by way OF
