HURTS LESS SERIOUS
THAN WERE REPORTED
A. ID. Huesing Recovering Nicely
From Accidental Wound Re-
ceived While Hunting.

Friends of Albert D. Huesing, who
was injured in an accidental shoot
ing near Beardstown Tuesday, will
be glad to learn that he shows much
improvement today and that in all
probability the result will not be
quite so serious as at first predicted.
An operation of his left foot, the
member injured by the shot, took
away his fifth toe and the attending
physician is hopeful of saving the
rest of the foot and says that there
is no danger from blood poisoning
The load entered the ball of the left
foot from the inside and passed IN
derneath, cutting the bones of each
Of the toes except the largest one
That he has control of now and the
others will probably give him a lit

consecrated it's efforts for the cree
ton of a handsome monument in

of the emblem published last evening

AT AUGUSTANA

That August Lindberg of the Roy
al Dramatic theatre of Stockholm,
Sweden, is an artist of the highest
order was clearly demonstrated in
his rendition Of The Tempest at
Augustana college last night The
comedy was given in Swedish and al
though many were present who did
not understand the language the i'm
personatiOn, because of the high ar
displayed, was, nevertheless, enjoy
ed by them. Mr.. Lindberg is over
60 years of age and has been on
of the leading figures on the Swedish
stage for 40 years. He has a mar
veIous voice, which well evidenced
the many years of training it haC
received. One moment it was the
soft and musical tones of an Ariel.
the next the gruff and wild shouts
of Caeliban, the deformed monster.
His impersOnatiOn of Miranda, the
sweet and gentle daughter of Pros
pero, and mis- humorous character
ization of Sephano could not be i'm
proved upon. On the whole his work
was of the highest order and show
ed great dramatic finish. There can
be no doubt that he understood
Shakespeare. His whole person
seemed to radiate Shakespeare.

RAISE new POINT
IN SALOON LAW
Property Owners on Ninth
Street Employ Attorney to
Protest License Grant.
CLAIM NOT ENOUGH NAMES
Under Recent Ruling of the Supreme
Court Frontage on Two Streets
Must Be Included.

Property owners in the vicinity OF
Ninth street between Second and
Fourth avenues fled objections IN the
county court today against the licens-
ing of a saloon which Thomas Mccain
proposes to operate at the corner OF
Ninth street and Third avenue. The
action means that the license will not
be granted until the matter has been
given a hearing before the mayor.
One of the points raised by the OBJ
jectors Is a new one in this city which
has been disregarded before. It has
to do with the fact that the door TO
the proposed saloon extends diagonal
" from Ninth street to third avenue
and that therefore the saloon fronts
equally on both these thoroughfares.
Under a recent ruling Of the supreme
court Of the state, il is necessary for
the promoters of saloon to get
the consent of the property owners,
not only on one of the streets on which
the saloon fronts but on both Of them.
HAVE NOT A MAJORITY.
This the saloon owners have not
done and the bill of complaint even al
leges that the petition does not contain
the necessary majority and that fraud
was practiced to get some OF the
names that are on the petition asking
that the license be granted.
The property in which the proposed
saloon Is TO be located. is owned by
James McQuaid.
There are Il names to the bill OF OBJ
lection and Attorney Edward w.
Schoede IS representing them.

PROMOTING FAIR
FOR The COUNTY
Prominent Moiners and East
Moliners Hope to Interest
Utilities Company.
lat CAMPBELL'S ISLAND
Advantages of the Place Are Many
and Proposition Could BE
Made a Paying One.

When directors of the public utili-
ties company come from the east
about a month hence to inspect prop
critics in the three cities and vicinity,
they will have put to them a propo-
sition which it is hoped by those in
terested will result in holding of a
Rock Island county fair annually on
Campbell's island.
Those who hope for a consumma-
ton of a scheme long cherished are
prominent men of Moline and of
East Moline. They believe that the
Tri-City Railway company would do
well to provide a race track and a
ball park with bleachers and grand
stand seats. Such equipment as is
needed, they argue, could be pro-
vided without Inconvenience to
campers at the summer resort.
WOULD DRAW BIG CROWDS.
Their contention is that with hold
ing of the Deere picnic on the island.
and with annual gatherings of many
orders, there is demand for the best
to be had for sport events. A good
running track, too, would mean
some interesting horse racing matt
nees on summer Saturday after
Moons.
The big event Of the year for the
island, however, in the minds of pro-
moters, would be the county fair.
They contend that t he location Is
more central and more easy of &C
cess than is JOslin, and that a fair
association could, and would, be
ready to pay a good rental fee for
use of the island grounds, If prop
erly fitted with track and ball
grounds.
