The ltoartl of Kdneatlon Decides to Krect
the No. 4 Ilullding Proceeding.
The board of education met in reg
ular monthly session last evening,
President Sears in the chair, and all
the directors present. The most im
portant business before the session
was the matter of determining upon
the proposed new school building in
the No. 4 district. After an ex
tended disc ussion, in which there was
a free interchange of views, the board
decided to erect the much needed
building, the limit at which it is to
be completed being Sept. 1. 194, and
the board meets Tuesday evening,
March 23, to determine upon plans.
The action of last evening, therefore,
may be construed as an informal not
ice to architects to submit their tinal
plans before the day mentioned. The
general plan in view contemplates a
building of 14 rooms, and . of the
most modern design in appearance,
arrangement and accommodations, as
heretofore described fully in the
Akgi s. The board already has eight
different sets of plans before it for
the new building, which it is esti
mated will cost 4(.ooi.
V Nerrstarv Improvement.
The board deserves great credit for
taking the decided action with refer
ence to this necessary improvement,
and the sooner operations are com
menced the better. The present
building on the No. 4 lot is absolutely
unlit for use. and confronted by the
unavoidable situation the board
could not have adopted any other
course than it did, in the interests of
of t he taxpayers and their children :
anil the strong measure of public
sentiment which has sustained the
board of education of Rock Island in
all its commendable school improve
ments in recent years may again
be counted on.
Other School Matters.
The report of Truant Oflicer Kim
ball for the month of February
showed that 29 cases of absence had
been investigated, two had caused
to become enrolled and 12 truants
had been arrested and returned to
school.
In view of the fact that there are a
number of non-residetit pupils at
tending the schools of Kock Island
claiming exemption from tuition,
it was concluded that the teachers
committee should meet tomorrow
evening at fS o'clock to receive the
claims of such pupils, and act thereon.
It was ordered that the school sus
pend for the annual two weeks"
vacation April 1.
The following bills we allowed and
the board adjourned:

Amusements.
Grav and Stephens will appear
with their highly trained dogs and
ponies in the successful drama.
Vesper Bells," at Harper's theatre
on Thursday and Friday evenings.
'Vesper Bells" is a play of unusual
merit, and serves to introduce the
accomplished actress, Minnie Oscar
Gray in a character that fits her to
perfection. The St. Bernard dogs
and Russian ponies introduced by
Mr. Stephens are wonderful and
their artistic groupings call forth
enthusiastic applause at every mt
formance. The scenic effects are all
new and very realistic, notably the
avalanche, and the thrilling fescue
by the dogs, also the attack in the
snow-drift of the sleigh bv the bears.
and the thrilling climaxes. Every
one should witness this truly great
performance.
"Miss Helvett. with Mrs. louise
Leslie-Carter as the droll little
Quakeress, and Miss Lottie Collins
in her unique creation, "Ta-ra-ra-
Boom-de-ay," will be the double at
traction at the Burtis opera house on
Friday evening. In "Miss Helyett,"
an entertainment already accorded
much favor, are blended the wit And
humor of David Belasco's adroit
adaptation with the sparkling melo
dies of Edmond Audran. It is an odd
entertainment; quite, different from
everything else in the field. The lit
tle "Pennsylvania Quakeress, who
causes all the fun by her tumble
down the Spanish mountain, has been
played continuously with great suc
cess for 16 month's by Mrs. Louise
Leslie-Carter; and there are such
favorites as Mark Smith, J. W. Her
bert, George Lyding, Fannie D. Hall,
with a chorus of pretty girls. Miss
Lottie Collins in "Ta-ra-ra-Hoom-de-
ay" will be a strong special card.
She has been talked about for months.
London lost its head over her unique
creation, and in New York, Boston,
Philadelphia and Chicago she has
been the craze. It seems to be con
ceded that her manner of intoning
the verses of her song and her ex
uberant but refined antics in the
dance are altogether dissimilar to
those of any other woman who has
attempted "Ta-ra-ra-Boom-de-ay."

Democrats Have iirave lutle to Perform
Tonight candidates.
Tonight in the several wards occur
the democratic caucuses to select
aldermanic candidates and to choose
delegates to tomorrow night's citv
township convention. The party has
only to be guided by the proper
policy to win all along the line this
spring. In the choice of aldermanic
timber, as in the candidates to com
pose the city and township ticket,
it is to the best interests of the party
as well as for the city to bring the
energetic young men of the city to
the front, and relegate the fossils, to
the rear seats. Today a number of
new aldermanic candidates were
brought out. Ex-Aid. Mathes
Buncher developed as an aldermanic
candidate in the First ward, while
George F. Roth consented to be con
sidered as a candidate for the demo
cratic nomination in the Second
ward. In the Fourth ward W. C.
Maucker's friends brought him out,
while in the Seventh Robert Wagner
developed strength as an aldermanic
possibility. Indeed, the party never
had a better opportunity to select
good candidates all over the city,
those mentioned in the different
wards being as follows:
Aldermnnie Timber.
First ward M. Buncher, William
Roth.
Second ward Charles Durinar.i:.
Fred Schroeder. Sewall Dodge, George
F. Roth, E. D. McCartney.
Third ward Daniel Corken. 1.

Fifth ward Robert Kusehmanu.
E. II. Collins, Jacob Scherrer.
Sixth ward John Kanosky, Pat
rick Kennedy, Henry Schmeilau,
John F. Dindinger.
Seventh ward R. Schweeke. Paul
Thiesen, Robert Wagner.
Township Candidates.
For township collector on the dem
ocratic ticket, B. H. Kimball, Edward
Bauersfield and Georgo W. D. Har
ris are running an even race.
For assistant supervisors, J. S.
Darrah and C. H. Sedel are talked of.
Fovjustice of the pace, II. A.
Baldwin and J. R. Johnston have
been presented, the latter also being
mentioned in connection with the
nomination for assessor.
For constables. Louis Ohlweiler
and J. E. Larkin have many sup
porters. THE TRI-CITY LEAGUE.
The Columbian Advertising Committee
MffH and Transacts Ituslness.
The board of directors of the Tri-City
Improvement league met in the office
of the Davenport Business Men's as
sociation yesterday afternoon, with
the full membership present with the
exception of three members who are

G uyer a:.d William F. Schroeder.and
Moline by George W. Vinton and
Gustaf Swensscn.
The resignation of Frank W. Muel
ler, secretary and treasurer was read
and accepted, and E. II. Guyer was
elected in his stead.
After considerable discussion of
the iopographical map question a
committee of three was appointed, on
motion of Mr. Swenssen, to call on
Mr. Huebinger and get a detinite
price for three maps, one for each of
the three cities. Messrs. Vanderveer
and G uver constituted the commit
tee. Taking Subscriptions.
The Rock Island and Moline Busi
ness Men's associations not having
appointed committees to take sub
scriptions of stock in their cities, Mr.
Guyer was asked to secure action
from the former body and Mr. Vin
ton and W. F. Eastman from the lat
ter. Messrs. Lardner, Korn. Guyer and
Schroeder were appointed a commit
tee to interview agents of railroad
companies relative to the running of
summer excursions to this point dur
ing the world's fair season, and the
meeting adjourned till next Tuesday
afternoon, in the rooms of the Rock
Island Business Men's association.
What the league needs now is avail
able funds. With a good proportion
of its stock placed it can produce
something more tangible than talk.
The Jones i'amlly.
The Jones Musical Family have ar
ranged to give a grand family mati
nee especially for ladies and children
at the Turner hall in this city on
Saturday afternoon, March 18, at 8
o'clock. Many friends have ex
pressed a desire to have an opportu
nity of taking their family to hear
these remarkable children and this
will enable them to attend. As they
are booked through the eastern part
of Illinois for a large number of en
gagements this will be the last op
portunity of hearing them for some
time to come. Reserved seats 35
cents, general .admission 25 cents,
children under 12 years of age 15
cents. Tickets can be had of Mrs.
Morris Rosenfield and Mrs. J. S. Gil

ladies and children. Their friends,
the ladies, having it in charge, are a
sufficient guarantee that they will be

Caught While Trying to Work Jeweler
Woltmann. -
A man giving his name as M., J'f
Reidy and claiming to hail froirt
Rockford got beautifully called down
on a species of "con" game at Wolt
mann's jewelry store this morning.
The stranger entered the store and
engaged Mr. Ecklund the clerk in
conversation, saying that his mother
would be in shortly to look for a pair
of spectacles and that he would wait
there for her. Mr. Ecklund Was sit
ting facing the - window engraving
some spoons, and the visitor who was
behind him inquire'd the price of the
spoons and while thus engaged he
reached over a show case and slid
the door back. It was a pretty long
reach and he could only get one of
the watch cases that were inside. He
knew better than to overdo it, how
ever, so after taking one of the gold
cases he quietly closed the case
again. Clerk Ecklund though keep
ing up the conversation saw a reflec
tion of his visitor's movements and
as the stranger made some remark
about going over to get his mother
Mr. Ecklund walked around and in
tercepted him at the door. The
would-be thief then showed fight and
as the two clinched Mr. Woltmann
himself, who hail been watching the
occurence from the rear part of the
I store, though unknown to either of
ir.e oiner two. came iorwaru ana in a
few moments the patrol wagon
stopped at the door and the fozey
stranger was taken to police head
quarters. He will.be given a hear
ing later.
Vol ice Points.
Complaint has been made to the
police of chicken thieves on Twenty
lirst street where for some time past
it is said unknown parties have had
a weakness for poultry no matter
where it comes from.
Col burg's jewelry store in Moline
was robbed of a half dozen watches
and as many rings last night. Po
sibly the man who tried ta rob Wolt
mann's jewelry store this morning
knows something of the matter.
A Second avenue business house
was burglarized early Sunday morn
ing and some 27 taken from a
drawer containing about 80. The
manner in which the theft was com
mitted shows the familiarity of the
burglars, and some one mav vet get
into trouble oyer the affair.
The residence of Mrs. Ben Harper
on Eighteenth sneetwas burglarized
on Monday night. A rear door hav
ing been broken open and the house
thoroughly ransacked. Mrs Harper
has been visiting at the residence of
Mrs. II. W. Dusinberre in South Rock
Island which was probably known to
the burglars. I he amount secured
was 14 in cash that was in a small
bank in one of the rooms.
Chief Miller returned this morning
from St. Louis with Robert Gregg,
who is wanted for embezzlement from
Fisher Bros. Mr. Fisher had a con
ference with Gregg at police head
quarters this morning, and a settle
ment may be made. The Globe
Democrat says of Gregg's arrest in
St. Louis: "Robert Gregg was ar
rested at Seventh and O'Fallon streets
last night by Detective Louis J.
Ziegler. Gregg is wanted in Rock
Island, 111., for the alleged embez
zlement of 3')0 from the Fisher
Brothers' Fruit and Commission
Company, of that city. Gregg was a
salesman for the concern and skipped
out about two months ago. His de
scription was telegraphed to this city
ana nis arrest followed,
rears old and married."
Gregg is 40
Public liutlding Superintendent.
Secretary Carlisle has appointed
F. G. Claussen superintendent of the
public building at Davenport, super
seding Major Burnette, who had re
ceived his appointment through re
publican influences. In this same
connection it may be mentioned that
a change in the appointment at Rock
Island is not at all unlikely, S. J.
Collins having been named'by the
administration now defunct. 'Fred
Hass was originally an applicant for
the position, and is still, while John
Volk and George Lamont have also
expressed their "willingness to serve
in that capacity. One of these gen
tlemen will undoubtedly be selected.
