- 1 TUB AUBTJB, FRIDAY, DECEMBEK 11, 1903 FOR NEW SOCIETY Rock Island Choral Singers De cide to Abandon Old Organization. PUBLIC SUPPORT IS LACKING Members Held a Meeting Last Night at the High School. Disbaiidmeiit of tin Koi-k Island Choral society, which has furnished to t l;e music-loving public a ycries of high class concerts the past two sea sons, was voted at the meeting of the members last evening at the high school. From an artistic standpoint the old organization was a success even be yond the expectations of those re sponsible for its formation, but finan cially it v;is a burden, the public not manifesting the interest that it should in the undertakings of the society. The new society that It is proposed to organize will give but one enter ment n year, devoting the" remainder of the time to study and voice devel opment. The meeting last evening was called to order by Samuel Ed wards, president of the society. Coulee Sheldon acted as chairman. John J. Lines, who recently came here from Ihe east to i pen a studio for voice training, has been interest ed in the movement to reorganize, and he was appointed to interview the members of the fid society personally -ii the reorganization plan. 1 rnkidciit L'dwards Talks.

The expense was, however, too much fur the active members, and, though the support for the first year was all that could be desired, the as sociate membership for the seuond year was not large enough to warrant the society to continue on the' origi nal lines.

Much has been said and written about the button industry and re ports regarding the probable supply of shells have been as numerous and of as wide a variety almost as the shells themselves, .lust now, when the public mind has been attuned to the belief that the industry has seen it:; palmiest days, that its rapid decline is now going on and that in a few years at most the whole fabric will collapse. a statement, authenticated and in en tirely good accord with the facts. which refutes in every particular this which has been inculcated in the pub lie mind comes as a refreshing bit of news to those who toil in the factor ies, to those who have invested their money in the business, and to the business interests, which have waxed great under the advent of the indus t r V. Perpetuity f the ItiiHiuess- "Do you know.'' remarked a prom inert Muscatine button manufacturer who has lately returned from Arkan sas, "that the button industry of my city has been given an impetus by the discovery of new beds of shells which insures the perpetuity of the business for an indefinite period? Fact," said he, "and I know just what I am talk ing about, for I have spent practically the last three months traveling all over the Mississippi valley, and 1 have assured not only my own firm, but the other button men of mv citv of the rich and practically inexhaustible beds i f clam shells heretofore undis covered, and which have since been worked and their product is now "find ing its way into this locality." WltertKlch ItnM Ile. According to the statement of this man, who has just returned from Ar kansas, the season there has been one of the most favorable and profitable ones in the history of the clamming industry in that state. The water ;:, been at a very excellent stage during the year. Good wages have liccn paid to the working men and shcilers have been busy. The season's output is far in excess -f that of any previous year. and new beds are constantly being discovered, not only in the rivers here tofore worked, but in some where the rake was used for the first time this year. According to the gentleman's statements, all sout hern "rivers tribu tary to the Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio rivers have, upon investigation, been found to contain rich beds of hells and these are now being either worked or preparations are under way to begin the harvest soon. Millions of tons of the best shells ire found in the Cash and White liv ers of Arkansas, the lower .Mississippi. the Pearl, Little and Hfg Kentucky, Tennessee, Cumberland. White anil Wabash, of Indiana, the beautiful Ohio, and all small streams in Illinois tributary to the Mississippi. He him telf has personally investigated these waters, and from his finding bases the assertion he makes in regard to the perpetuity of the button making industry. Neert CureTully Kept. In order to illustrate the secrecy of those engaged in the business when supply of shells is considered, this in formant calls attention to the meth ods employed to keep from the gen eral public, not thly the amount fif. this product being secured, but the source of supply as well, lie" relates that there are now in his city 2.000 tons of excellent shells, which he stat ed had been secured from beds not many miles from Muscatine, and of whose existence none but his company ami the shellers engaged knew "about. He refused the name of the river, but stated it was part of a boundary be tween two statt and emptied into an other river. This stream he described minutely and says its beds are prac tically inexhaustible. His company at great expense has maintained a fleet of boats there the past season, and the Muscatine factory has been kept fully supplied from this source. There is a stretch of this river, which he de scribes as ."() miles long, average dcplh of water 12 feet, and for nearly this whole distance a bed of shells four feet thick underlies the tract. The shells from that locality have reached Muscatine, but they were first .ship ped ro St. Louis, there rebilled, and at an additional cost shipped to the Iowa city. This method has thus far kept the source of supply from the knowl edge of the general public, and though adding to the cost of the material, the company feels that they are well re paid for their efforts to keep sub rosa the source of supply.
