BURGLARIHa.
Two Houses Entered.

On Tuesday night, one or more burglar:
| entered Strste's saloon on Rock River street
near the Catholic church, and going Il,
stairs, stole the proprietor's pocket book con
tanning sixteen dollars.
This morning (I2th, at about three O.
clock, a party of burglars entered the store
of Mr., a. j. Mcdonald, on the corner O
Broadway and Rock River streets. They
confined their first operations to a window
on the east side of the building, cutting M
the sash considerably in trying to take i,
out. Failing in this, they took out a pane
of glass, and thereby effected an entrance.
They helped themselves literally to
cigars, oysters, and other lu4uries, bu. found
no money except some small change in the
drawer. They then made their exit by I'm.
boiling the back door. Proceeding to the
dwelling house, they cut away the stats Of
one of the blinds at window on the north.

had nothing to do but to un!tch the blinds |
and enter. Passing through se parlor, and
crossing the hall, they found ii door of Mr.
McDonsld's sleeping room wiz open, and
a lighted lamp on the table. They took
from his psntaloons pocket boz contain.

disturbing the inmates of the hoe. The
pocket book was this morning foun q, .bs
parlor window. Mrs. Mcdonald wtup a. ,
two o'clock, caring for sick child, al ev-
srything was then safe and sound. II is

The managers of the Rock Island Coun.

especial attention to the cleaning up and

Grounds. as il ia we'll known that prominent
among the features Of next months exhibit
ton, will be good deaI Of hnetraveling by
fast horse. flesh. The race course also is
being improved, and repaired IN the best
manner. Much fine stock from distance
is expected. Mr.. James Maoy arrived here,
to-day, and has now four fine trotters quar-
tered out at the grounds. II may not have
been sufficiently announced that Re stables
are now open, free Of charge, to ali who
may wish to occupy them with stock intend
ed for exhibition. This is the case, The
track is also free to all who have animals
intended to be entered for the races anC
who may wish to accustom them to thetrac
and have them practice thereon. Thes
privileges will be extended without charge
until the opening of the fair. A good man
horse fancierS are intending to avail them
selves Of the chance, and we shall expect t.

The arrangement of the upper chons aud

while the upper chords 0, TIE ouinfy are

bic points, among which we might make
mention Of the idea Of steel pedestsls. This
bridge is painted light Quaker color, while
the Quincy is q shade darker. Otherwise
they are much the same in style nnd ap

tract has oil been done. Gen. Rodman vii
have the painting to do Of the covering o.
the lower chords, the joists on the under
side, and the floor beams. This will not BE-
done until fall, in order to give the greer
lumber time to season. The color selected
for the iron.work is very appropriate one
and has a fine effect in the sunlight, wher
the structure is viewed at some little dis
lance.
In regard to strength and duration, the
bridge is unexcelled. 1t is calculated that
