handled in Illinois outside of Chicago,
and one of the quickest big campaigns
on record anywhere. The city has the
largest amount to spend for a building
that has been available in the state
outside of Chicago, so it will no doubt
have the finest and biggest building of
any of the cities downstate.
Example for Rock Island.
In doing what it has done, Moline has
set a good example for Rock Island to
follow. With situation worse, If pos
sible, so far as its association record
was concerned, than that of Rock Is
land, Moline has buried the past and
gone ahead in this great movement for
civic betterment. Rock Island needs
to do the same sort Of thing.
A year ago there were not three men
in Moline who believed that this great
thing could be done, but today every
body IS glad for the faith Of those few.
Similarly. in Rock Island, today not
more than one or two men have abso-
Lutte faith in the ability of this city TO

"THE FLIRTING PRINCESS

The things that stand forth in
Harry Bulger's company presenting

cess and make it one of the sea-
sons successes, are the novelties
some of them very daring. The tune
full music ever found in Mort Sing
er's productions abounds from over
ture to finale and it runs through the
piece in most entertaining bewilder-
ment and fashion. The plot is strong
enough to make one think and the
dialogue is of the usual order so
common to good musical farces. Still

is full of delightful features and
shines resplendently as a costume
and beauty show. In fact, the cos
tunes are ravishingly beautiful and
have seldom been outdone in any Of
Mr.. Singers former productions.
The chorus and dancing girls, wheth-
er they be the statuary like beauties
or the dainty broilers, look like mod
els in face and form. Two features
connected with Mr.. Bulger's starring
vehicle are The Vampire and

dance in the first act is so wild,

Humane Society in New Move to Dis
courage Cruelty to Animals.
At the regular meeting of the
members of the Rock Island County
Humane society at the office of the
society, 637 Seventeenth street, a
number of important business mat
tiers were discussed and acted upon.
Upon suggestion of the officer, the
society decided to cause 1000 tags
to be printed to tag horses driven
with smooth shoes or standing, I'M
blanketed in cold weather. The Of
ficer's report for September follows:
ANIMAL CASES
Complaints read and investigated %
Horses and mules examined while
in harness 13
Transfers and boy drivers repri-
manded and better treatment
Animals humanely destroyed 1.-TWO
dogs and one caO ......... 8
CHILDREN CASES
Complaints received and investi-
gated. Friendly advice given to par
ent in one case. and one case still
under investigation.
Your officer begs to be allowed
to make the following suggestion:
Owing to the fact that your officer
is often called upon to destroy sick
and manned animals and there being
no regular pond where such animals
may be taken. the society would do
well to consider some ways and
means for the establishing and main
tanning of such a pond.
During this month the amount of
$21 was received by the secretary
GEORGE GILMAN,
officer of Rock Island County HUI
name society.

from now there ought to be $4,000 peo-

Local Building White Elephant.
Rock Island must have a new Y. NJ.
c. A building. The present one is a
disgrace to the public spirit of the COM
munity 1t is a white elephant, so far
as the association work is concerned.
The only sensible and business-like
way to deal with the situation is to
sell the old building, raise $4,000 or
$1,000 900 more, and put up building
that will be fit for the great work that
is to be done. With Moline's success
as an inspiration, Rock Island ought to
go ahead and do it without a bit of
trouble

Where Building Is Needed.

Saturday evening Moline closed a
whirlwind campaign for $125,000 for
a new Y. NJ. C. A building. For just a
week the campaign was the allabsorb-
ing feature of life in the Plow city. 1t
was a new experience for the people Of
Moline to see all classes Of citizens
working together and boosting united
ly for a public project.
That was the thing which made it
possible, however, for Moline to raise
not only the desired amount in the
quick campaign, but to run $4,000 over
the mark When the returns were in
Saturday night it developed that near
ly $685. 900 had been pledged alto
gether.
This vast sum of money includes
gifts ranging all the way from 10 cents
to $4,000. There were more than
1000 different subscriptions made in
all. The people of wealth did their
part generously, but the multitude of
people of small means did their full
share also. There were thousands of
pledges in small amounts from men
and women who did their best because

pledges came in from the factories
themselves.
Sells Old Home.
The Moline association on Saturday
had the good fortune to sell its old
building TO the Red Men for $4,000.
After taking out the amount of the
debt on the building the association
will still have about $4,000 left, which
will be set aside as a contingent fund
from which many expenses will be
paid, in order to preserve the building
fund intact.
A new era Of prosperity and expan-
sion has thus set in for Y. NJ. G. A.
work in Moline, which will mean much
to the future of that city. The men
have the honor of having broken sew
eral records in the campaign, and it
will now be in order for them to break
other records in the work they will do.
Moline has put through the biggest
and quickest building campaign ever

THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS"
Miss Leila Mcintyre, who is the
co-star with her husband, John Hy-
ans, in The Girl of My Dreams" to
be presented at the Grand, Davenport,
Wednesday, matinee and night, has been
on the stage since she was four
years old. Her first public appear
ances were at church entertainments.
Several of her uncles were ministers
and she was in great demand because
of her cute childish manners. Soon
she began to take child parts and
says she has acted every kind of
character since, except as an old
man. She has been villainous and
star, played comedy and tragedy, but
her forte is childish bits. And as a
demure little Quakeress in The Girl
of My Dreams" she is said to be eX-
ceptionally well cast. Besides being
very pretty and childish, Miss McIn-
tyre has that undefinable called
charm Mr.. Hyams, too, is well
known for his clever work and es-
pecially for his dancing and he has
given admirable support to his clever
wife.

BUSY BEAVERS
RETURN TO STATE
BUSY ANIMALS SAID TO BE
BUILDING DAMS ON DIES
Laos RIVER.

jamestown, NJ D., July S.-The
beavers are coming back to North Da-
kota. Old timers tell us that the en-
ergetic animals were numerous along
the Mouse and Des Laos river in the
early days, but left when the dry
weather came. They have returned in
large numbers this year. There are
eight beaver dams along Des Laos
river between Burlington and Carpio.
The beavers are telling the trees along
the banks at a rapid rate, often cut
thug down trees that are as large in
diameter as stove pipe Old timers
say that the large number of beaver
dams Is a sure sign of dry weather.
The animals always take precautions
to hold back the water when 1t is need
ed, and their instinct seldom fails
them.
The farmers who reside along the
river are protecting the beavers and
woe be unto the hunters who cap
ture any of them. There is strict
law in this state protecting beavers,
the fine being SIS for the first Of
Tense with Jail sentence attached.
Old time hunters used to make
good money trapping the beavers as
their hides are worth good deal OF
money and 1t is said their meat is
valuable for food. To secure a large
fat beaver meant feast for them for
a week.
