DRFAcING AND TEARING PosrERs-It has
become q chronic complaints that no posters
can long remain posted in Rock Island with
out being defsced or torn down. We think
it is generally done by children-but who-
ever does it should be punished 1t is rather
hard tor u man to pay his money tor printing
and posting, and then receive no benefit from
the expenditure. simply because few VIC
ious children tear down his posters or dsface
them. Is there no remedy for this Is there
no ordinance to punish those who do it? If
there is, the police should make examples of
the rascals who do it. If there is no urdin-
ance to punish this wanton destruction of
property, then one should be enacted at the
next meeting of the city council, and then
see if the practice of destroying posters can
not be broken up. A few smart fines will
soon teach people to stop the practice. Pa
rents and school teachers can also do much
to break up the practice. Let the superinten-
dent of the schools and the parents and guar
dams of children institute an investigation
of the matter ana see who, in their charge,
does it. There az two large German schools.
Let the German teachers see what they can
do. And let the city council enact an ordin
ance and the police enforce it-snd we shall
hear no more complaints about the destruction
of posters. ~

MYSTERIOUS DIsAPPEARANcE.-A young
man named VIM. Reed, formerly a'huss driv.

work for Henry Darts Sons. for abort time,
mysseriously disappeared last Sunday, and
has not since been heard from. The last
known of him he was sssn near bald bluff,
back of town. No reason can be eoniectured
why he should have lett. He had drawn NO
wages, and taken none of his extra clothing
with him.
There is a rumor that dead body has
been seen in that vicinity, and it is feared
that a murder has been committed there
Parties are now searching in that region fer
she body. If any one knows the whereabouts
of young Reed they will please communicate
with City Marshal Cropper. There is reason
to bslieve that person arrived in town Sat-
urday who bad some designs against the life
OF this young man. p.

disease, which can be relied upon to cure. Ii
famlhes would supply themselves with variety

OUGHT TO BE REvIsED.-It is now nine
gears since there has been any revision of the
city ordinances or publication of them, in PAM
Phlet form. Many ordinances have been re-
pealsd; many new ones have been enated,
and it is now very difficult to know what Or
dinancss are in force and what have been re-
pzaled. We think the city council should di-
rect the city attorney aud the ordinance COM
mittee to revise the ordinances and publish
pamphlets containing only the ordinances
now in force, with such additional ordinances
as the exigenciss of the times require 90 be
passed. Such book would be q great con-
vsnisnes TO all city officers. and the public
generally.

PLANT TREEs.-Every person in Rock
Island, who owns any ground, should plant
trees upon it. The improvement thus made
is worth ten times the cost. Plant shade
trees. elms and naples are the best, but
plant some kind of trees now, before the sea-
son is further advanced. Every dollar ex-
pended for that purpose brings larger re-
turn than any other improvement which can
be made
