TEMPTING OFFER.

The Griggs Music house is adver-
Using this week in The Argus a most
tempting offer on pianos, which in
cludes one years private music les
sons free with each piano. Many
people who have visited the store this
week were under the impression that
these lessons were to be given by
mail, OF through a chart or in some
such manner, and were agreeably
surprised to learn that choice of
teachers can be had and that the les
sons will be given personally by
teachers. Teachers will go to the
homes IL preferred. Persons living
in Rock Island can have a Rock Is
land teacher, and the Griggs Music
house pays for the lessons for an en-
tire year.

TO BUILD AUDITORIUM
Chautauqua Association Must Pre-
vide Home for Assemblies.

The 0skaleosa Chautauqua associa'
ton has accepted the alternative and
will build home of its own. Since
il has been notified that it could nc
longer use the Holiness tabernacle
and grounds, many plans and PROPOSE
lions have been discussed. The
Board of Directors has finally come
to the conclusion that a building oil
it's own is the emily solution of the
situation. Action must be taken at
once as the coming assembly is only
six months on, aud il win take
every moment of the intervening Time
10 secure a site and erect suitable
building.
AT meeting of the Board Tuesday
afternoon the committee on sites re
commended the J. II. Anderson tract
Immediately west of his residence IN
Park Place. There are about four
acres in the tract, with plenty OF
shade. and accessible by two streets
The end OF the street car line Is now
no farther from the site than is the
tabernacle at the Holiness grounds
from the street car line. II is possible
also that the car line might be eX'
tended even closer TO the place.

able of seating $500 people, with

would cost $4,000. making the total
investment about $4,000.
The sentiment of the meeting was
to proceed at once with the under.
taking. The first step will be reor.
