The Concert for the House of the Good Shepherd.

The Concert for the House Of the Good Shepherd. |
Last week wo gave an extended notice of
the House of the Good Shepherd in the hope |
that, being fully informed of the grand mission
undertaken by the Sisters and of the pressing
necessities of their situation at this time, the
people of this city might be induced to
tend to them a helping hand. SO worthy is the
object proposed aud 80 little the assistance
. asked, that one might reasonably expect to
see St. Patricks Hall crowded tomorrow
night, aud to hear that at least $1,000 had been
netted by the en- tertainment. We regret much,
however, to hear that, far, comparatively
few tickets have been sold, and that the
cess of the concert, in a financial point of
view, will depend principally on the receipts
At the door. Let each one then resolve that, if
unable to secure tickets at the stores indicated
in the advertisement on our fifth page, he will
at least make his appearance at the hall to-
morrow night and pay the email sum of so
cents charged as an admission fee.
We give the programme of the concert
which, We understand, will be the last " Old
Folks Concert" this

AE INJUNCTION ApplED FOR.
Special co1rtsponde'ee Of The Chicago Tribune.
RocEFoRD, ILL.,, July 24.-For some time past
many OF our citizens have been anxious for the
Nater~Works Committee to report the exacs
amount OF money that has been expended up to
the present time in putting in the Holly System
OF Water Works. This the Committee has, for
some reasons, deemed prudent not to do, and "a
no official call from the Council Was made for
such statement the trio Of worthy gentlemen
who comprise the Aforesaid Committee are not a.
together to blame. In the meantime the faithful
Watci-dogs OF the City Treasury became alarmed,
and rumors that bill praying for an injunction
hxd been fled were currently reported on the
Streets. The Committee, who. by the way, are
men OF considerable pluck and business talent,
snapped their digits at the c1oakers, and quietly
went on with the work Of laying pipe and CON-
pleting the Water-Wo rks. Although they heed
ed not the mutterings Of the murmuring hosts.
they came, and on Tuesday last Elisha A. Kirk,
Of Rockford, applied to William Brown, Judge
of this circuit, for an injunction to stop further
proceedings, and compel the Committee to 1t
once render 4 full statement rs to the amount OF
money already expended The City Attorney.

RACINE
MAKING, HAY.

!9pecial CorrtsnondeHee Of The Chicago Tribune.
RACINE, July 24.-We have had another week
Of fine summer weather, affording the farmers
fine time to harvest the heavy crop OF hay.
which they have pretty closely attended to, for
our streets have been less th1onged this week
than for some time before.
PUBLIC SPIRIT.
One day this week might be seen two Of our
public-gpirited citizens, the Hon. J. J. Case and
Dr. Til]apauGb, with hammer in hand breaking
stone on the street for the public good. The
scene OF their labors was at the low
er end OF Fourth street bridge, where
they handled the stone and welded
tho hammer like experts. There they
kept pounding away in the hot sun with q reso.
luton arising from the consciousness that each
stroke was blow for tho common good. This
lofty feeling made them needless of the
jokes and jibes Of passers-by. "Ain't they
handy at it? Where could they have learned
30 well ?" says bystandsr. "Man," rejotned a
gray-bearded gentleman, " IN my young days in
the East they set the transgessors to work on
the streets for punishment, and they put the
smartest Of us to breaking stoue" It is hoped
the partnership existing between these two pub
lie laborers will not prevent them from return
ing soon to finish what they lef. undone on that
eyentful Tuesday.

WEATIIEn AND CRoP8-
SpeeaJ CoFTesponde1ce Of Tho Chicago Itibt71A.
KANKAKKE, ILL.,, July 23.-We have had som6
mighty mean weather since the last letter was
written; but no right-minded man will think any
the less Of us for that. We candidly avow our
responsibility; We couldn't help it. But even this
frank acknowledgement will not repair the evil
that is done, ndpreyious estimates OF loss to the
oat crop hare not been modified. Some fields are
flat as though roller had passed over them. The
grain is yet g in the milk, and from its contact
with the steaming ground, and the loss Of vital
ity sustained through the breaking OF the STALL,
will not properly natures. About half crop is
all that is looked for. Stil no one feels blue''
over the prospects. Business men and farmers
are greatly encouraged by the promises yet held
forth, and good fall and winter trade ia probs-
ble. Com for fall delivery is being contracted
for at GO cents.
MUNICIPAL Affairs
are just engaging the attention OF the tax-psy-
ers. The regular July meeting Of the City
Board has been held, and an unusually heavy
amount Of street work paid for Since the new
Street Commissioner WAS elected, much work
has been done which is in part unnecessary.
But Jim is "solid ~ with the Aldermen, and
that's the "whv Of It," Aid. Davis bill Of 1926
for lumber was audited, but the Mayors pre-
yiously formed resolution will forbid his signing
it, What Davis will do, Davis probably knows.
Knowing the Mayors position On this question,
it isn't likely he sold that amount OF lumber to
the city without seeing his way through some
how. Davis has had soft thing SO long, how
ever, that no one would mourn II he should be
disappointed On this last biIl. The Mayor is en-
forcing lopg-neglected ordinance requiring the
saloons to be closed at II o'clock In the evening
and on the Sabbath.
