Mr.. William I. Bush died last
Sunday night in the Touro, Iu-
firm.ry, New Orleans, at the age
of Is years. He was native of
Franklin, and was born of the
marriage of the late William L
Bush, Sr, and Miss Fannie Nc
MILAN. He was reared aud edu-
Gated here. About twenty.four
years ago he entered the employ
ment OF the Southern Pacific r ALL
road, and served that company
with faithfulness in important
positions of trust. When the final
summons came he was a citizen of
Race!and. La holding the po-
sition of agent of the railroad
company at that place. He was
a member of the School Board Of
the Parish of Lafourche, and held
the respect and confidence of his
fellow citizens. During his early
manhood he married Miss Alber-
tine Desperi. OF Lafayette, La. To
this happy union were born three
children, two boys and one girl.
The youngest son preceded his
father to the grave by two months.
To his disconsolate widow we ten
der our deepest sympathy. We
know that it can do little to allay
agony like hers, yet We hope that
that influence and love which
comes from Above to the grief
soul on earth, may give
her fortitude to shear her cross"
and may the love and tenderness
of her children in time lessen the
gloom of her sorrow thatcAu never
De entirely forgotten.

Convention.
PRESIDENT LEwMAN Is COMING
Upon His Recommendation win De.
pend Whether National Gather
ing win Be Held Soon.

The tri-cities may be a strong con-
tender for the convention Of the Ma
tional Building Trades and Employers
association of America next year This
is dependent upon the strength shown
at the annual banquet Of the Quad City
Builders exchange, an affiliated organ
ization Of Rock Island, Davenport, Mo
lie and East Moline, at the New Harper
Wednesday evening, Jan. Il.
At this banquet, H. L. Lewman of
Louisville KY, president of the Ma
tional Association of Builders ex-
changes, will be the principal speak
er. Mr.. Lewman had been scheduled
to deliver an address here several
weeks ago and he comes here on an
itinerary Of the important cities Of the
United States. He has recently COM
pleted a series of speeches at the Pan
ana exposition at San Francisco. l. c.
Norwood will be POSTMASTER at the
quad city banquet.
1t is expected by the committee il
charge Of the arrangements of the
quad city banquet at the New Harper
that at least 400 Of the local contrac,
tors, plumbers. electricians, painters
timers, plasters and all allied with the
building trade will be present. If the
turnout is sufficient to demonstrate t.
the satisfaction of Mr.. Lewman that
the quad cities form a sufficiently i'm
portant center for the holding of sucf
a convention, it Is likely that the mex
gathering OF the national association
will come to Rock Island.
Mr.. Lewman is an important factor
in the selection OF the convention cit
les. He has been an impelling force
in naming the places for the gather
ings in the short life of the association
which has grown more than 100 pei
cent during the past year. If the con
yention comes to the quad cities i
would bring here between 1900 anC
1000 of the largest builders in Amer
lea, some OF the most important con
tractors Of the continent.

this will be his first appearance in the
tri-cities since 1902. PaGerewsh, it is
announced, is contributing the receipts
of his present tour to the war relief
fund Of his native land.
If Paderewsk's career as virtuoso
has been unique in the annals or
music, so also may be called his prepa-
ration for that career. If the usual
virtuoso, whatever his instrument may
be, Is not a wonder child at any rate
by the time he has entered his teens
ne has had a solid primary training in
| his art and is the possessor of a tech
nique far beyond the reach Of any but
! the most gifted amateurs. By 20 he is
a full-fedged artist with his career
made or irretrieyably MANNED. Pad
erewski himself tells us that when he
was Is his technique was so made
quate that he was always forced to
Z
/ hard passages hoping that none Of his
audience would be the wiser. 1t was
not until he was "a that he set himself
! seriously at the gigantic task of ac-
compHshing in a few years of his ma
turity what others spend a lifetime on,
and that, too, when the fingers and
wrists have lost much of the flexibility
of childhood.
In 1884 Paderewski was a poor, I'M
! known musician whose threadbare
clothes differed no whit from the
threadbare clothes of thousands of
other poor, unknown musicians that
swarm the streets of Berlin and Wen
ma His own friends did not suspect
a genius that lay within him. Four
years later Vienna, Berlin and Paris
were talking Of the marvellous Pole,
the pupil of Leschetitsky, who was
giving a new message of beauty with
his piano. Two years more, London
fought to attend his recitals, and in
1891 he began the series Of triumphant
tours of America, the like OF which
have never been seen.
