MONEY PAID FOR
CLUBS PROPERTY
| Royal Neighbors of America,
After Approving Deeds, Ten
ders Check for $13, 800.
NOW OWNS ENTIRE SITE
FraternaI Society Holds Title to $50
Feet on Sixteenth Street-Im-
petus to New Home Plans.

B. D. Smith, general attorney for the
Royal Neighbors of America, Satur-
day afternoon paid over to President
W. A. Rosenfield and Vice President
H. E. Casteel a check for $4,000, rep
resenting the purchase price of the
south so feet Of the former home of
the club at Sixteenth street and Third
avenue. The board of managers and
attorney approved and accepted the
deeds to the property prepared by H,
E. Curtis, attorney for the club in the
negotiations. This is the final detail
in the transaction, and transfers own
ership of the entire 100 feet on Six
teenth street to the Royal Neighbor so
ciety. The north so feet, as will be
recalled, was a gift to the society from
the Rock Island Industrial commission
as a bonus for locating here the per
manent offices of the fraternal organi-
cation. For the north half of the site
the industrial commission paid the
club $4,000.
Proceed with New Home Plans.
With the payment of the $13,500 the
officers of the club will proceed with
the new home plans, in the expecta-
ton that the organization will be set
tied in its permanent quarters by next
fall. Charles McHugh and ]. E. Mont
rose have made a price of $4,000 on
their lot adjoining the New Harper
cafe on Nineteenth street, and this
appears to be the choice generally of
the club membership as the site of the
projected home. However, the propo-
sition will first be put to a vote Of the
membership before the question of To-
cation is determined finally. The men,
bership meeting will be called at an
early date.
Bonds Are Going Rapidly.
In the interim the officers of the
club are placing an issue of 100000
second mortgage bonds among the
membership and splendid Roadway has
been made in this direction. The plan
is to have the local banks advance an
additional $4,000 on a first mortgage
upon the club property. This will as
sure a cash fund of 100000 Allowing
$4,000 with which to buy a site. there
will remain $4,000 to invest in the
building and furnishings.
Judge Smith, aside from his loyalty
in exacting every precaution in behalf
of the society that he represents legal
", has proved valuable friend and
aid Of the club, of which he is mem
Der, in the negotiations. In fact the
Judge is in the front row of the club
boosters.

E. T. Dolly, Promoter of Project,
Promises Surprise to Public in
Quality of Bills Furnished.

Rock Island is to have a new

of Fourth avenue between Nine

Negotiations which had long been
pending were closed Saturday after
noon whereby Edward :. Dolly and
w. w. Wilmerton became the own
ers of property with a frontage of
80 feet and a depth of so feet on
the avenue. Thirty feet was pur-
chased from William TrefZ for
$4,000 and so feet from II. B. Sim
mon for $1,000. The dwellings HOW
on the lots will be removed ct once

Is to Seat 2.5OO.
The theatre will have a seating
capacity of 1850 and the cost of the
building will be in excess Of S25,-
900. The plans have been perfect
ed by an architect specializing in
theatres and a design used in some
of the larger cities in Indiana and
Ohio has been followed. While Mr..
Dolly and Mr.. Wilmerton appear as
the purchasers of the ground, it is
understood others will be associated
with them in the con- Yany that will
operate the theatre.
at is our purpose ID give the CO.
pie here vaudeville such as is offer
ed in centers of 100000 to 100000
population" Mr.. Dolly. who is the
promoter of the enterprise. said.
Hundreds of Rock Island people
patronize vaudeville in Davenport,
because the bills there are of high
er class than it is possible to Sc
cure here under prevailing condi-
tions. Moline books the same acts
as are now furnished in Rock Is
land, and l might say that very good
entertainment is given. But / am
of the opinion that we are ready for
something just a little better.
Grows In Public Favor.
vaudeville, 1 am convinced. as
are my associates, has come to stay.
1t is a popular form Of amusement
that seems to gain a stronger hold
upon the public each year. The in
vestment is small when compared
TO the prices charged for the stan
dard ATTRACTIONS playing one-night
stands. While the scale of prices
has not yet been definitely settled,
it is more than probable that 1t will
be 10 and 20 cents at our new house.
lone point that l wish to i'm
press upon the public here is that
there will be no deviation from the
high standards of entertainment

belief that he was out of his mind.
Family troubles capped the climax.
Mccartney and his wife and her par

place belongs to Mr.. Dixon, but was
in charge of Mccartney, who had NOV
ed there a year ago at the request of
the owner who felt unable to run the
farm any longer The two families
had failed to get along well together.
Aside from this, Mccartney had little
financial difficulty with his sister-in-
law, Miss Anna Dixon, over some
board money owed by the latter to the
McCartneys.
"GoinS to Pay Dearly
Friday night the money troubles
were brought up to Mccartney by NJ = D.
Dixon, who wanted Mccartney TO be-
come more friendly with her daughter
and to let her out of paying the obli-
cation. Mccartney left the house with
the statement that he was bound to
have his money and that he was going
"to make her pay dearly" for having
kept him waiting for it so long. He
says he meant by this that he was not
going to make any rebates. He then
