MISS DAUGHERTY'S RECITAL
Interesting Event in Musical Circles
at Augustana Chapel Monday.
Monday evening Miss Ethel Daugh
erty, the new teacher of piano and
musical theory at Augustana college,
will give a piano recital in the college
chapel. This is Miss Daugherty's first
appearance in public since her return
from Chicago, where she has spent sev
eral years studying with some of the
best teachers in that city, notably Ar
thur Friedheim, the famous Russian
pianist, who has since returned to
Europe.
It is not perhaps generally known
that there are but a few copies of the
original edition of Chopin extant, even
the best of the modern editions being
more or less incorrect. One of these
copies Friedheim received from Liszt,
and it is thus Miss Daugherty has been
enabled to present the true rendering
of the two great Chopin etudes she is
to play, the C minor and the etude ia
thirds, besides possessing the great
advantage of having made a special
study of the interpretation with a pu
pil of Liszt, whose playing of Chopin
the composer pronounced superior to
his own. The program to be rendered
follows :
Prelude in B flat Bach
Toccata Paradies
Etudes, Op. 10, No. 12; Op. 25, No. C
Chopin
Valse in A flat Mosowski
Rococo Schutt
Berceuse Iljinski
Polonaise in E Liszt
Birthday Is Observed.
Iast evening, at her home in the
Burns building on Second avenue. Mrs.
H. L. Darby entertained a company of
2 friends of her husband, fellow em
ployes at Rock Island arsenal, in hon
or of his 4Sth birthday anniversary.
The rooms were decorated artistically
in green and white. A handsome gift
was presented the host, the presenta
tion speech being made by Mrs. Otto
Benke. Other tokens were given Mr.
Darby. A dainty luncheon was served.
The table was decorated with flowers
and streamers.

CONTROL OF ALTON
Itock. llnt Dr finitely Stated to
Have Majority of the
C. A- A. Shares.
WILL RULE COMING MEETING
Statement Given Out Says There Will
Be No Fight Stock
Goes up.
New York, Oct. 1. Rock Island rail
road interests, with wiiom John W.
Gates and Edwin Hawley are sup
posed to be acting, have captured con
trol of the Chicago & Alton railroad
and will be represented at the com
pany's annual meeting next Tuesday
by proxies for something more than
225,000 shares of the stock out of a
total of 400,000 shares authorized. Un
der the law a majority of the stock
at the meeting can elect two out of
the three directors who are to be
be chosen.
There hsve been conferences be
tween t0 representatives of the Rock
Island and Harrinian parties interest
ed to establish the legal basis upon
which both parties stand, and not to
reach a basis for an agreement be
tween these interests which would
leave the Alton in llarriman hands,
as some Wall street rumors have had
it. This semi-official statement as to
the situation was made yesterday.
Will Be .No Battle.
"There is no probability of a pitched
battle for the Alton. Of the ultimate
result there has b-jen no doubt since
it was discovered that a majority of
the stock was owned by outside inter
ests. To attempt to hold the road and
operate it would be mere folly, and is
so recognized by all parties. Unless
an agreement is arrived at involving
terms quite satisfactory to the new
owners of the Chicago & Alton tlie
control of the road will certainly lodge
in the hands of those owners."
It was announced that the Chicago
fc Alton preferred stock deposited with
Kuhn. Ixeb & Co., under the agree
ment of last December had been sold
at a net price of $Si a share, a price
better than the average that has ruled
in the market since Jan. 1. When the
Alton preferred pool was formed it
was supposed that the stock was to
figure in some deal with the Union
Pacific.
New Henri for M.. K. A T.
Chicago, Oct. 1. H. V. Rouse, presi
dent of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
road, has resigned and is succeeded by
F. N. Finney of Milwaukee. The new
president was manager of construction
for the road, a director and a member
of the executive board. He also is
president of the Milwaukee Trust com
pany. The reason assigned for Mr.
Rouse's resignation is a desire to make
an extended trip to India.
Sulllviin to MixMourl I'm-lflc.
A. W. Sullivan, assistant second vice
president of the Illinois Central rail
road, has been appointed general man
ager of the Missouri Pacific, with head
quarters in St. Louis. Mr. Sullivan
will assume the duties of his new po
sition today. The management of the
Illinois Central has decided to abolish
the position of assistant second vice
president, the special duties which led
to the creation of the position having
been performed.

ORPHEON THEATRE HAS
A DISASTROUS BLAZE
Davenport Playhouse Put Out of Bus
iness by Fire Supposed to be
Due to Poor Wiring.
Fire at 1:30 this morning gutted the
part back of the curtain at the Or
pheon theatre. Third and Perry
streets, Davenport. The portion of
the house immediately in front of the
curtain was also badly scorched. The
fire had made great headway before
it was discovered and then a general
alarm had to be turned in calling out
all available firemen before it was
gotten under control. The theatre was
provided with an asbestos curtain,
which was down, and it served to hold
the flames back from the main body of
the house till the supports were burn
ed away. Then it fell and the blaze
spread. The loss will be about $2,00
including $WO in the effects of the
company that has had an engagement
at the house this week. The origin of
the fire is unknown but faulty electric
wiring is believed to have been re
sponsible. LET EXPRESS MESSENGER GO
Man in Charge of Car Robbed by
Bandits is Discharged.
According to information from Des
Moines, where Superintendent Quick,
of the United States express com
pany resides. Messenger McGuire. who
was in charge of the car broken into
and robbed by the bandits at Whiskey
Hollow, nine nvles west of Muscatine,
about three weeks ago, has been dis
charged by the company, the reasons
given being that he did not offer the
resistance that should have been
shown under the circumstances. Mes
senger McGuire states that he did all
in his power to protect the interests
of the express company, but it seems
his employers were not satisfied with
his conduct.

S. Quinn. of Cavendish. Vt.. was
