Maggie Mitchell in the Pearl of Savoy, y
in which a pure aud pious peasant girl,
amidst every temptation, preserves her
virtue and wins her way to happiness and
honor. Millions of people have laughed
and cried, grown red with Indignation, or
pale with horror over the wonderful per-
sonation of the various phases of human
character by this incompatible little
woman. She is, to-day, the purest and
most popular representative of the legiti-
mate drama in America. All who see her
are filed with admiration and wonder at
her naturalness and power,-and all want
to see her again. She has won reputa-
ton second to none OF the greatest stars on
the American stage, while even many con.
cede to her the rank of the greatest o.

Yesterday afternoon large party Of
friends of Joseph Miller assembled at his
residence on the corner of Orleans and
Ohio streets, to celebrate the 6lst birth
day of that gentleman All present were

Mr.. Miller is one of our oldest and best
citizens, having lived here for % years
and accumulated considerable property.
The afternoon was spent in friendly
conversation, with occasional vocal and
instrumental music, and when the party
broke up all present wished him and his

Fix UP Your Fences.

There is considerable discussion in the
upper part of the county in regard to the
law compelling pc ople to keep their fences
in reasonable repair before they can collect
damages from stock getting into their fields
and destroying crops, and a suit has just
been decided, by Justice Goodrich, of
Hillsdale, in favor of the party who owned
the stock
1t appears that some time ago several
cattle belonging to John Buckley got out
of their pasture and wandered into the
field Of Michael McEnary, the fence of the
latter being down or in very dilapidated
condition, and that considerable damage
was done by the cattle The money was
paid under protest, and Mr. Buckley then
commenced suit for its recovery. The
trial came off last week, Friday. and JUS
tice Goodrich ordered that the money be
returned p. T. McElherne appeared for
Buckley and Sweeney & Jackson for Me-
Enary.

Meeting of Assessors.

a meeting of township assessors was
held in the court house on Saturday for
consultation, every town but two being
represented. The meeting was, of course,
informal and unofficial, and was held only
in order that the men elected to do the
work may become acquainted, and agree
upon some uniform basis for their work.
They agreed upon basis conforming as
nearly as may be to the rates fixed by the
state board of equalization at its last meet
ing, aud these, we presume, will be gener-
ally satisfactory.

Would anybody have objection to chang
ing the name of Rock Island street to Pei
amorgues street, Some persons are talk
ing of building a monument to the mem
DRY of the pioneer priest. No monument
will last longer than a street named after
him. The present name of Rock Island
street means nothing, perpetuates nothing
The island will never lose its name, nor
will the city that is called after it change
its cognomen. Pelamorgues street would
sound well, too.-DaUenport Gazette.
We reckon that no one over here would
object-in fact we rather think our people
would be glad to see the change. AT
present the name only tends to confusion,
and signifies nothing. The change would
help perpetuate the name of good man
whose memory should be kept in constant
remembrance.

Test OF that Four-Iuch Main.

The test of the four-inch water mains
in the upper part OF city, Saturday even
ing, seemed to satisfy everybody that it
would be useless for the city, in its present
financial condition, to put in six-inch mains
this year. Two good streams of water
were taken from the main through a one
inch nozzle, With three streams, the
force was considerably diminished, but it
seemed to be the opinion OF nearly all
present that the four-inch main would
afford sufficient fire protection for the
present. Mayor Butler and quite mum
Der Of the aldermen were present and
witnessed the test.

dressed the wound. 1t was at first thought
that the inner table Of the little fellow S

suspicion as to the alleged charges in Capt.
Robinson's petition to the United States

without entering into the merits or de-
merits of that petition, or Of the means
used by Osterberg to influence the bond

BY the following official figures

1t Will also be noticed that there are
operating expenses, and then out of the
net earnings have been paid $l7,742 So
for track rents, an amount that certainly
ought to be charged to operating ex-
penses Just as much as if the track was
owned by the company.
Again, 500, 3lS.l0 has been devoted to
''renesoaIS." 1t is impossible to tell from
the large number of renewal accounts
whether some of these items should not
have been charged to operating &C.
count-especially rolling stock renewals.
During these five months, usually the best
of the year on the Rockford road, only
about $4,000, according to their own
figures, has been expended on renewals,
OSterDergs statement to his party was
that 100000 was required for renewals
and repairs. At this rate how long will it
be before the renewals are finished ?-and
when will the deluded bondholders get any
interest?
During the month of April proportion
ate(y less has been spent on construc-
tion"-says the Skinner organ. Is not
this because of the large decrease in the
earnings for April? We would like to
know, from Mr. Skinner, what the gross
earnings for April are. Mr.. Skinner. says
that all the March bills have been paid,
and also that they will have COM
Portable balance in bank" Have not the
March bills been largely paid out of cash
received for April earnings, and was
not the balance in the Rock Island
National Bank, when transferred
on the 29th of April, something under
twenty dollars? Was not the work at
Beardstown filing stopped for want Of
funds before completion ?-and the late
storms have washed away good deal Of
the earth work, so that there is so much
money thrown away.
Mr.. Skinner also says that the road is
now in better condition than when it was
handed over by the receiver. In this We
are sure that Mr.. S. deviates from the path
of truth There is not a road in thi,
vicinity, 1--WE speak from what we know,
that is in better condition than it was {
months ago The weather has been agains
any improvement, even where roads haC
the means; and we are sure that tn,
Rockford has neither had means, brain:
or management to improve its road be-
and make it better than it was six month
ago
There are other serious inconsistencie
in the statement of Mr.. Skinner that any O
our railroad men will detect at glance
for instance: Why are iron and labo
put together in renewal account? Why
not labor at least charged to operatin
account? This looks ike double entrs
and WILL we think, require investigation.
