Banda Busta" Now.-Is is the
Banda Verdi no more, but the Banda
"Rusta!" Acting for IA indignant mu-
sicians, who have been wont to re-
spond in harmony to the bidding Of
Sig. francesca Creatore's baton, two
Of the music-makers bearing names sig
nifcant Of Mediterranean extraction,
secured a writ of attachment against
the belongings, professional and per-
sonal, Of their leader, to satisfy claims
for wages. They engaged an attorney
and when the matter came before Mag
istrate Gustafson he ordered hearing
for next Monday, Feb. 10. The band
members declare that all they desire
is their just dues and that If their
much advertised conductor will come
across" with the money all will end
well.
Install Equipment. - Gymnasium
equipment costing approximately ST.
500 has been installed in Moline's new
Y. NJ G. A. building. Members of the
committee entrusted with the pur-
chase Of apparatus yesterday inspect
ed the rooms already equipped and ex-
pressed themselves as satisfied. Few
cities in the country may boast an as
sociation plant more complete in ap-
pointments than the o!N3 soon to be
opened to Moline's men and boys.
New Freight House.-Plans are be
ing considered by the Chicago, Mil
waukee and ST. Paul, and the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy railroads which
If they materialize, will mean erection
of modern freight house in East Mo
line, replacing the present frame build
ing. Sketches of a new freight house
are being prepared and it is under
stood that work of construction will
be taken up in early spring. G. R
Morrison of Savanna, superintendent
Of this division, was in Moline the
other day and a local manufacturer
asked him when a new freight house
was to rise in East Moline. Mr.. Nor
rison gave the manufacturer assur
ance that preparations are under way
for the improvement. With new fac
tories In East Moline, the present
wooden freight house is inadequate
1t is owned Jointly by the two roads
but in reality it is not used at all In
coming freight Is unloaded from the
cars into wagons and delivered imme
diately. This is not a satisfactory ar
rangement and the railroad officials
realize that new building is a neces
sity. 1t will be brick structure, but
the dimensions and cost are not made
public at this time.
Lots Of, Girls.-Hillsdale, this coun
ty, reports an epidemic of girl babies
This does not mean that baby boys are
out of fashion, because it seems thai
they had their inning last month. The
combination of Leap Year and Valen
tine month seems to have broken the
charm, however, and in February it i:
baby girls.
