Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1909-03-10

The board of directors of the Rock
Island Exposition at a melting at the
Harper last evening, approved the
action of the special committee COM
posed of President 7. j. Medill, B.
G. HartZ and Z. w. Lewis in fixing
the date of this years exposition for
the week of August 9-14 and also the
contracts made by the same commit
tee for the main attraction of this
years big show at Exposition park
on Ninth street.
BY getting on the ground early the
committee was able to secure some
of the best attractions to be presented
in connection with enterprises of this
kind in the country this year. The
program of fee shows to be presented
on the stage in front of the amphi-
theater, while purposely as varied in
character with that of last year as it
was possible to make it and at the
same time, maintain the high stan
dard established by the first exhibit

MAY BE ADJUSTED
General Feeling is That City Should
Carefully Consider Railway
Franchise.
ONLY ONE OBJECTION MADE
Protest Against Freight Traffic May 3.
Met In Satisfactory Manner and
Brushed Aside.

Public sentiment seems of one &C
cord in favor of the proposition of
securing the railway connections be-
tween Rock Island and Galesburg. as
will be provided by William C. Lawson
who is now asking for a franchise
for his line in Rock Island. There
is a manifest objection to the oper
alton of the freight end of the line
over one of the streets named in the ordi
nance, but at the same time there are
many who say that if all the freight
business is done at night. or if the
number of freight cars in a train is
limited TO four or less, this objection
may be overcome. The chief objec
ton appears to be in the danger thai
freight cars might be allowed to stand
on the streets.
May Get Different Route.
There is hope that the promoters
may secure another route which vii
take the entire line, or at least the
freight end of it, into the city. by Other
streets.
There is no reason for too hasty actor
Oh the part of the council, but tn,
aldermen should not hastily ignore the
Importance of the line to Rock Island
Mr.. Lawson in discussing the project
speaks frankly of his plans, and state.
plainly that his project contemplates

says he has nothing to conceal an

should Examine 1t Well.
1t is hoped that the matter may b
adjusted so that the council will b.
given the public support that viii
warrant the granting of Mr.. Lawson
franchise. However, the aldermen
should go into the matter CAREFUL
and consider every detail of the si
| uation. Mr.. Lawson should be, as il
claims he is, in position to answe

explanations of his plans.

Secured the Best Possible.
The committee had the advantage
of the assistance of r. F. Trevellick,
who so successfully staged last years
free shows and who will be on hand
again to personally supervise the put
ting on of the performances. AS was
the case last year, most of the acts are
foreign and include the thrilling high
diving fire feats of the Norinos, from
Sweden, and making their first appear

the Dankmar-Schiller troupe of aero.
bats, which the Ringlings have made
great inducements for this year; Sun
Inns trained bull and the Simple Simon
trio with their celebrated trick house.
the acrobatic hit of the year.
In place of the Parker railroad
shows which the exposition had last
year, the committee closed a contract
with the Kline railroad shows, which
brings an array of Is attractions, in
GLIDING first class wild west, a Phil
ippine village and numerous clean and
first class features
The directors are in correspondence
for a number of additional features
which like those already secured will
be top liners.
The Change of Time.
In fixing the date a couple of months
earlier this year, the exposition offic
ers believe they have met the public's
wish for while the week of last yeal
was fixed at the time of year that is
as a rule bright and balmy, it so hap
pened that it was about the worst six
days of all the year, with the natural
result that the attendance, was cut tC
n fifth of what 1t would otherwise have
been.
With the hoped for good fortune OF
favorable weather this year, and the
reputation that last years exposition
made, the one this year should bring
to Rock Island one of the biggest
crowds ever seen in the city.
Big Advantages to Start With.
The Exposition company has the ad
vantage on its second year of grounds
in first class condition, with all the
necessary accessories provided, and the
general features, including the illum
nation, will, it is planned, exceed thos,
of last year.

General Opinion at Conference is
That There is a Field for An.
other Hospital.
MEET KINGS DAUGHTERS
Ladies Desire Public Expression Or
Project-WiII Be Discussed at
Later Meetings.

At conference held last
evening at the Harper house be-
,ween members of the Helpers Circle
Kings Daughters and a number of
he physicians Of the city, the pro-
feet of another hospital for the city
was given further consideration. The
Kings Daughters have sum of mon
ely on hand which would form the
nucleus of a fund for the building
of hospital, and they have taken
the matter up with a view to ascer-
tanning the sentiment of the people on
the subject. The society believes that
there is field for second institu-
ton of this character in Rock Island
and the members are ready to lead a
movement to provide one.
Physicians Give Views.
The conference last evening brought
out the fact that the physicians of the
city in general feel that there is room
for another hospital, and will give
their support to the project.
Speaking of the project this morn
ing one of the leading members of
the Kings Daughters said: "Of course
the establishment of hospital would
be big undertaking, and we want
to be assured of the support and as
sistance of the people of the city he
fore we go ahead. There appears to
be need for the hospital, and now
| our problem is the financing of the
proposition. We would feel grateful
| if the churches, lodges, and public
| spirited citizens would take the mat
err up and pledge themselves to ma
erial assistance for the project. Pied
ges of contributions, or pledges tC
furnish rooms if the institution is es-
| tablished, would be very gratifying to
the Kings Daughters. The society is
| ready to do it's share in the matter
To BE Discussed Further.
| The Helpers Circle has arranged to
hold another meeting early mex
| week to again discuss the hospita
project, and another conference will
the physicians of the city will be helt

The Claim That Cant
Be Backed

If, as clothing manufacturers
claim, ready-madeS are as
good as tailor madeS, why is it
that every factory maintains a
special order department.? If,
as the read y- maker asserts,
there is no advantage in buy
ing clothes tailored to measure,
why is it that when you ask
him to measure YOU for Suit,
sirnilar to something he he's
in stock, he charges you more
than he asks for the goods on
his counter? Neither of them
can take the place of the mer-
chant tailor, and every time
either attempts to do SO he in
tensifies his own nis-state-
ments by his prices. Anything
a little bit better always costs a
little bit more, Merchant tail
oringi is so far ahead of factory
tailoring in so many ways, and
each way means such a dis
tinCr ADVANTAGE, that only
the price counter belongs at
the clothing counter.
