The bass drum is an instrument iol
making condensed thunder and is 4
necessary part Of all bras6 bands.
The bass drum is larger than the
bass horn and sticks OFT more III
front, making 1t more dini~uit to wear.
In fact, it is the most difficult piece OF
wearing apparel in existence. a bright
man can learn to play the bass drum
in three lessons, but it takes him a
year to learn how to wear it. Even
man with Il meager knowledge of mu'
sic can read the score Tor the bass
drum and can insert bang into the
melody at the psychological moment.
But 10 learn how TO do it while push
ing the said drum down the street
beating up with il against heavy
wind. and turning a narrow corner
with an automobile on one side ana a
street lamp on the other is a difficult
matter. Very few bass drummists get
into trouble from playing off the Key
but hundreds of amateurs, who have
haruessed themselves TO o drum as
big as a voting precinct, aave run into
the solo cornetst from behind with
the thing in the middle OF lT"pIe'
tongue solo aud have retired from the
band by request,
The bass drum consists 9f two large
leather heads stretched over cylinder
shaped like Il napkin ring magnlfed
600 diameters. This produces a large
rever5erating interior and when the
head of the drum is carPssed with a
large pleaded club, the output ofsound
is immense. The poorer the rest or the
band isIthc harder the bass drummtsL
must work. Often good lass drum

ing, on Saturday night. When they
boarded the car at the DeveHey corner
they were Quarreling, and this quar-
reling grew worse and worse, until at
Twelfth street the conductor elected
them all from his car. Immediately
after their ejectment, they started
fighting, and the Italians drew guns
and opened fire. All were employees at
the glass factory in this city, and the
arrest OF the two men this morning
followed their suspicious actions. They
have only been employed at the plant
four days, and this morning they did
not appear for work. They did, how
ever, appear at the office several
times, and demanded that their money
be- paid to them Immediately. The OFF,
GERS were notified, and they arrested
the two on suspicion. Their actions
and words when arrested, lead the Of
fcers to believe that they have the
right parties. When searched, no
weapons we're found on them.

ENTERTAINMENT AT NORMAL

ENTERTAINMENT AT NORMAL.
On Tuesday evening, February Is, at
the Normal auditorium, Miss Margaret
Stahl will present in monologue from
the dramatic version Of The Dawn Of
n Tomorrow" by Frances Hodgsou
Burnett. Miss Stahl is Americas
Greatest Woman Reader of the mod.
ern plays.
For the benefit OF those who have
not read the story brief synopsis is
here given:
Sir Oliver Holt feeling that he was
worn out and done for, and believing
that he was slowly going mad, deter.
mined to take his own life. To that
end and in order that the deed might
be accomplished without the world
knowing of his act, he went TO n lodg-
ing house In a poor street in London,
disguised and passing under an assum-
ed name, as man poor, friendless,
and alone. His plan was to purchase
a revolver, give away all his money,
and in the quiet of his third story bed
room, blow out his brains in such 4
way that his most intimate friends
would fail to recognize him. Thus he
would cease to live and being without
money he would occupy IL namcless
grave in the potters' field:
On the morning on which he had de-
termincd to carry out his plan a dense
fog had settled over London and in try.
ing to return TO his room after pur.
chasing revolver, he lost his way.
Standing on a bridge the thought of
drowning entered his mind, but he was
dissuaded from that by a little girl OF
the street, who was attracted by coin
that had dropped from his pocket,
Later he ACCOMPANIED this VAR %

GREATER FAlRMoNT is THE
HOWL.

Fairmont has from $4,000 to 10000
people and she wants credit for them.
Enlarging the city limits met with
very little opposition, the sentiment
among the people residing in the ter
'ritory to be taken in is to the effect
that they will come in If everybody
comes in. They do not want the pro
posed boundaries Curtailed or Topped
off. They want all the property taken
in which is now undergoing or getting
the benefit of great city developments.
The greatest extensions are proposed
in the East Park stride. At Il mass
meeting Of the citizens of East Park
they unanimously agreed upon A
boundary line, decided upon and sub
mitted the same 10 the Chamber OF
Commerce. which accepted and APP
proved almost without exception the
territorial limits on the East Side.
The development on the East Side is
comparatively new. There are about
5000 lots undergoing development, al
ready probably 400 houses built, and
more than $l,O00,OOO in manufactur'
ing plants, OF which the Owens Ma.
chine Bottle Company is the prinCi.
pal one. In al probability there will
be 10000 homes in the new territory
within five years,-The Money Maker.

Important Notice

We frequently receive articles
intended for publication in the
Democrat that goes to the waste
basket because no name accompa-
MES the article. We have called
attention to this matter often, but
they continue to come in that way.
Another rule is that the paper
must be written only on one side.
If you write for the Democrat and
fail to sign your name or write on
both sides of the paper and your
article does not appear. look to
this notice for the reason. We
some times publish such articles,
but they most often go to the
waste basket.
