ROCK ISLAND CLUB SURRENDERS
Old SITE; HAS new HOME FUNDS

abolish the life memberships and to
return to the holders thereof second
mortgage bonds in an amount to cover
their original individual interests.
There is to be an issue of 100000 in
second mortgage bonds to the club
membership. These have all been
pledged with the exception of $500.
The banks of the city have agreed TO
buy an issue OF $4,000 first mortgage
bonds upon the new club property. The
building fund is to be 100000. After
the site is paid for there will remain
s45. 900 to be expended on the home
and furnishings.
To Be Modern Club Home.
1t is proposed to erect building Of
three stories and basement-of course
the plans will have to be concurred in
by the membership. In the basement
there will likely be swimming pool,
baths, bowling alleys, gymnasium. etc;
on the first floor, library. reception and
dining rooms; on the second floor. as
sembly room. on the third floor, living
rooms, this latter feature following out
the idea in vogue in many of the larg-
er cities, where the clubs have accom-
modations for nonresident members
and for those of it's local patrons with
out family homes.
At the club membership meeting
soon TO be called it is probable build
ing committee, with full power to act,
will be appointed. The purpose is to
have architects designs prepared with
out delay and let the contract during
the winter months, in order that ex-
cavating may be commenced as early
as possible in the spring. The hope OF
the membership is that the new home
will be ready for occupancy early next
fall
The club is to be congratulated upon
its enterprise and the advances that it
has made in the IL years of its exist
ence. 1t has been the axis around
which every public move in the city
has revolved.
Usefulness to BE Increased.
1t has been the inspiration and pro-
motive power of every undertaking of
general importance since it was organ
lied by the business and professional
men of the city, and. Judging by the
enthusiasm that is attending the new
home preparations. the organization is
only beginning its real mission of use
fulness in the community. 1t is ex-
pected that the body will be further
strengthened by a merger with the
Rock Island Business Mems associa-
ton. 1t was within the club that the
Greater Rock Island development COM
mittee that raised 100000 to boost the
city as a factory location, was formed.
This fund has been drawn against 10
assist factories already here and to
induce new ones TO come TO the city.
The Belt railroad is another public
project that was originated within the
club, and its contamination, it is con-
fidently believed, will be one of the
accomplishments in the next few
months.

Sir John Fastolf was the original of Shakespeare's Falstaff and in his day was a continual butt for the jests of the town and borough of Southwark Though he had fought at Agincourt when Jack Cade invaded the borough, he showed great coWardice When Cade was yet some way off Fastof had armed and fortified his house and garrisoned it with veterans of the French wars. On the arrival Of Cade however he withdrew his garrison and fled to the Tower, leaving his neigh bors to the mercy of the rebels. Fas- tolfs matrimonial adventures seem also to have been another source of unpop- ularity, for. having married a widow named Scrope, he seized her property and kept his stepson out of his inheri- tance during his own lifetime.-Lon- don News.

Enirhtad Actcrs.

It is an odd fact that Of the English actors knighted all but one had first to legalize the names under which they had won fame. The question arose with the first proposition to confer knighthood on a gypsy. It would be absurd so to honor one 5ohn Henry Brodrihb. Yet legally no such person as Henry Irving" existed. No such obstacle had to be overcome when, on the occasion of Victoria's diamond jubilee, Squire Bancroft knelt before his queen and arose sir squire. How ever, the three actors knightcd by King Edward bore cognomens of their own invention. Sir Charles Wyndham was born CulyerWell, and Sir John Hare, Fairs.

The same bargain was made with his brothers, Jake, George and Louis. Ill course ce time Mrs. Lorillard noticed that. while the other children collected from her at intervals from 10 to p cents. Pierre drew on her frequently for a S1 at time, indorsing his drafts with 100 dead moths. Investigation revealed the bent of the future financier IS well as his early adaptability to meth ods governing the requirement of wealth. Having procured from a fur rier some pieces of fur thrown away because they Were infested with moths, Pierre secreted them in an old sHhest in an unused closet. There the zuickly accommodating moths were banked, to be drawn upon whenever the inventor and perfecter Of the eu- terprfse required pocket money.

In the latter days of t6e English prize ring mnumerable eXpedients lad to be devised to bring off a fight. A favorite plan was to pitch the ring on the borders of two counties, so that the question of masisterial jurisdiction might be rendered difficult. Another plan was to charter a steamboat and proceed down the Thames to some lonely police forsaEen spot in the marshes of Essex. For the memorable contest between Sayers and Heonan in 1860 special train was run from Lon- don bridge to 2 secret destination.

Governor Hadley in his speech
in Carthage said: "The Republi-

laws: Il i *
"Also law empowering the
Railroad Board to regulate pas

land every one of these laws were

TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION
On 1st day of April, 1909 House
Bill Number II, being the County
Unit Local Option Bill, under
which the peoble of the entire
county could have voted on the
question of granting license in such
county, came up for passage and
Mr.. Smith lodged the vote which
was equivalent to voting mo"
He was present in the House and
voted on all questions that day
until this bill was called. After
it was defeated by six votes he
returned and was in the house and
voted the balance of the day. See
House Journal page So2-So3 and
8o4.
Senate Bill No. a22 was passed
authorizing the transfer of a saloon
license in cities of $4,000 inhabi-
tants. Under the terms of this
bill a person desiring to open a
dram shop in a respectable portion
of the city where the people were
opposed to it and'the Excise Com
missioner would not grant the Ii
cense, he could have transferred to
him a license issued to keep sa-
loon in another part of the city,
and to which there was no object
ion and without the consent of
the Excise Commissioner open the
saloon in the part of the city where
the people were against it. This
was the most offensive bill on the
liquor question introduced in the
Legislature. Mr.. Smith voted for
the bill. See House Journal, page
1902.
Governor Hadley vetoed the bill,
giving the following reasons: [See
Senate Journal. page 1o54l
Upon a citation to show cause
as to why a dramshop license
should not be revoked, it would be
in the power of the owner to trans
fer same to some person fit, com
petent and legally qualified to
have a dramshop license, and there
would be no discretion upon the
part of the excise commissioner
to refuse to approve of the transfer.
II am advised by Mr.. Henry S.

the city of St. Louis, that the pas.
sage of this law would have the
practical effect of making inopera
