JOHNSON MAY LEAVE
AUGUSTANA COLLEGE

Peter Johnson, head of the piano de-
partment of Augustana conservatory,
may sever connections with the must
cal school at the end of the present
term. as he has been the recipient of
a fine offer from the Swedish Lutheran
church at Stanton, Iowa, to become its
organist Besides offering a good sal
airy, the congregation practically guar
antees Professor Johnson a class of
fifty or more music students. The
Stanton church board pays the highest
organist salary in the synod.
II would be a distinct loss to the
Lutheran conservatory should Profes-
sor Johnson decide to accept this Of
fer, as he has, during the four years
he has been connected with Angus
tana, built up the piano department of
its conservatory. Besides teaching
piano, Professor Johnson has directed
the WenneTberg chorus and the chapel
choir. Under his leadership the Wen,
nerbergs have made an enviable rep,
utation for themselves as college glee
singers.
RumOr runs current that two or
three of the college professors may
leave Augustana this spring because
of some very flattering offers which
have been rendered them.

DISTRESS FLAG IN
TWO 81 TOWNS
Flaunt Trouble Sign Because of
Poor Showing and Poor
Support.
DECATUR'S $1,000 CITRON
CommOdOres and Boomers May Go
Abegging for Haven, as Did
Islanders Year Ago.

So far as certain distress signals
from certain Three-Eye league burgs
are concerned, there is absolutely
nothing doing on the Rock Island
horoscope, and, as was Rock Islands
experience last season, the towns
which founder on the shoals of finan-
cial embarrassment, due largely to
the playing of mediocre teams, may
go abegging for a haven of refuge, so
far as Rock Island is concerned. The
baseball fan of Rock Island-one of
the best baseball bugs in the civilized
world-cares naught for any Three
Eye teams which may seek transfer
raj. The Rock Island fan is getting
along in fine style and can think of
no reason why Rock Island should
care TO take on any team which is
doing the Titanic act because of poor
showing and poor attendance.
TALK CHANGE ALREADY.
1t is an all too apparent fact that
! Bloomington and Decatur are meet
ing wiIA woeful conditions and al
ready the talk of making a change
! in the lamp circuit in order to save
it from the inevitable death long since
predicted, other cities of better loca-
| ton and better drawing ability, are
being considered. But let them wob-
/ BILE along as best they can. Think
/ of Decatur and its 1000 citron and
then think of the absence of worry
for the Islander fan as he figures up
the percentage Of the said Commodore
team which came so near to being
dubbed the Islanders at a cost OF
| $1,000.
Good baseball town that Rock Is
land is, little has been the sorrow be-
cause of failure TO retain possession
of a Three-Eye franchise.

EMPIRE THEATRE Is TO
CLOSE FOR THESEASON

Next Sunday evening the Empire
theatre will close for the season.
Warm weather has Influenced Manager
Dolly in making a decision. The lure
of out of doors may be counted upon
to attract the crowds of amusement
seekers for the next three months. The
Empire has had a most successful
season, having met the demand for
good, clean entertainment of a high
class and at a reasonable price, from
the very start. Manager Dolly plans
to reopen the house during the latter
part of August.

though the local collegians came near

The first seems to be Augustana' S

pounded in five runs their opening

good, the lanky fielder making four
