Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1912-11-27

In a community containing many of
the legal fraternity, some of whom are
shining lights, Hon. William McEniry
stands out among the foremost. Not
only in Rock Island, but throughout
the state, Mr.. McEniry is reckoned as
an attorney and a man of more than
ordinary calibre. A product Of Rock
Island county, this has ever been his
home, and his loyalty and public-spirit-
edness have ofrimes redounded to the
benefit of his birthplace.
Mr.. McEniry received his early edu-
cation in the country schools of Yuma
township, and later he took up a COM
mercial course at Prairie du Chen,
Wis. Having finished that, he attend
ed Notre Dame university at Notre
Dame, Ind. After a literary course
there, he decided to take up the law as
a profession, and with that end in view
he matriculated at the law school of
the University of Michigan, from W ich
he graduated with honors in 1885.
He at once returned to Rock Island
and hung out his shingle. His ability
was SO marked that he Immediately
won success. In the many years of his
practice he has attained an enviable
station in his profession. He has act
ed as counsel in some of the most i'm
portant cases before the bar, not only
of this county, but of the state at large.
and his general success in his cases
has attracted wide interest.
Recognized as a leader in Rock Is
land county democracy, Mr.. McEniry
has twice aspired to political honors,
with success. In 1887 he was nominal
ed and elected city attorney, and in
1896 he was triumphantly sent to the
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1912-11-27
w. H. WHTrESIDE.

The rise of William II. Whiteside
from a farmer boy to one Of the most
trusted positions in the county-the
ONCE of county treasurer-was due
mainly to his honesty, ability and in
dustry. One has but to meet him to
find that he is deserving of the conf
dence reposed in him.
Mr.. Whiteside was born in Moline
Feb Z, 1856. but his earliest memories
date back to a farm in Yuma town
ship, where he grew to manhood. He
secured what education he could in
the Yuma schools at the few terms he
was privileged TO attend, and learned
much in the school Of experience. At
the age of 81 he became a salesman
for a harvester company. In 1856 he
opened a general store at Joslin, H.,
place with a population of % souls.
That his store there has prospered
shows the esteem in which he is held
by the farmers OF the surrounding
country. In 1899 he opened a second
general store at Hillsdale, and this he
still controls and expects 10 return to
II when his tenure Of office is over.
He was postmaster at Joslin from 1855
TO 1892, and again from 1896 until he
retired to assume his present duties. He
has been prominent for years as a mem
ber-usually treasurer-of the county
central republican committee. He is
a Mason, Mystic Worker, a member
Of the Court OF Honor, and was one of
the organizers Of Farmers camp No.
171s. N. W. A, OF the upper end of
the county. He was instrumental in
the organization and for the past u
years has been president Of the Cres-
cent Telephone company which serves
upperend county farmers. He was
also one Of the promoters of the Joslin

Edward T. Dolly has given to Rock
Island that which has been needed for
years-a safe and high class vaude-
vile theatre. The new Empire would
be credit to much larger city thar
this, in fact its builders claim for IL
the title safest theatre in the
world" Facts substantiate this claim.
1t is among the few ground floor the.
aires in the country; there is no bar
cony, there are nearly dozen exits.
all giving quick access to the streets,
the stereopticon machine is housed In
really fire proof cage, and the seats
are so arranged as to obviate the
crowding of aisles.
The safety features are not the only
ones, however. With view to the
comfort of the patrons, Mr.. Dolly, who
incidentally planned the theatre, incor-
porating into it his own ideas, embel-
lished by visits to some Of the ack-
nowledged best theatres in the world,
had 1928 opera chairs installed in the
theatre, whereas, ordinary specifica-
tons would have permitted LOO in
tlS SPdCC. lh0
comfort is increased by the perfect
order that Is maintained at all times,
and the tasty wall decorations and
other embellishments add to the sat
isfied feeling that comes to patrons.
The stage at the New Empire is SO
feet wide, a foot wider than that of
the Majestic of Chicago, and there Is
no show in vaudeville that cannot be
put on here.
AS to the class of the shows, Mr..
Dolly is giving the very hest. Last
year-the first for the new Empire
the house was on the Pantages cir
cult, but this year 1t is with the Orphe-
UNI and the Western and has at its
disposal five and one-half years of solid
bookings without repeated act. Two
shows are put on weekly ana the
house has recently adopted the policy
OF putting on a musical comedy once
in three weeks. Business has shown
that the public appreciates the the
atre.
