Chicago Basso Sings in Five Differ
ent Languages, Captivating His
Audience.

The Handel Oratorio society outdid
itself in its annual Christmas festival
at Augustana college last night, rem
dering the best program of its career,
and the large crowd, which filled
every seat in the chapel, showed its
appreciation by giving the chorus and
its directress, Mrs. Edla Lund, ova-
ton after ovation.
But no less wonderful than the
work of the chorus was the singing
of Gustaf Holmquist, the Chicago
basso. He took the audience by storm
and demonstrated in the four groups
of songs which he sang that his year
of study in Paris had been used to
good advantage.
IN PERFECT HARMONY.
In theSfirst number, Hail Bright
Abode" from "Tannhauser" CWag-
ner), the oratorio singers showed
marks of the careful training they
had received at the hands of their
leader. Singing in perfect harmony
and precision Of attack. the effect of
the first chorus was admirable. The
artistic finish was not lacking, while
at the same time the singing was
spirited and full Of vim. The Other
numbers rendered by the chorus were
Sunset" (Gade), 20, Lovely Night
(Offenbach), Thanksgiving" (Grieg
and "Hallelujah" (Beethoven). Oh
these Grieg's Thanksgiving" was
probably sung best. Entering into
the true spirit of this song of the
north, assisted ably by Mr.. Holmquist
who took the solo part, the chorus
scored in its rendition of this piece
Thirteen songs composed Mr.. Holm

Rock Islands New
Bank Official
(Aledo Democrat.)

Many Of the friends Of j. L. Vernon,
cashier of the First National bank OF
this city, were surprised upon read
ing in last Wednesdays Rock Island
Argus of the acceptance of the posi-
ton of acting vice president of the
Peoples National bank of Rock Island
by Mr. Vernon. The offer is alto
gether a promotion to Mr. Vernon as
1t gives him practical charge over the
banking operations of the Peoples Ma
tional. The bank is one of the oldest
and best established banks In Rock
Island and has always been regarded
as an ably managed and conservative
institution.
Mr.. Vernon has been cashier Of the
First National in this city since it's
organization in 1904. and has seen it
grow from a small bank with total de-
posits OF approximately 500, 900 to a
bank with deposits in excess of $685.
600, taking the National and Trust
and Savings together. This is a re-
markable record and one Of which Mr.
Vernon may feel justly proud.
Prior to his coming to Aledo he was
cashier and organizer Of the Sherrard
State Banking company and still is a
director and president OF that institu-
ton. Mr.. Vernon is one OF the best
known and most progressive bankers
in western Illinois, and the Peoples
bank is very fortunate in being able
to secure him.
1t is not Mr. vernOn's intention of
moving his family from here for some
