"THE SUNDAY LAW"

Mayor ; We have heard only one

be elected, if they wish, We
are not prepared to say. The
issue in the election, we think
will be the soealled Sunday law
It meets the appreciation Of very
few people as it now stands. Il
fails to serve the purpose for
/ which 1t was enacted. In other
words, the Sunday law is inoper-
alive, aud therefore with many

granting that permission was
thought by the law makers to be
beneficial to the people. Their
purpose was to give everybody
chance, on Sunday morning. to
make any little purchases that
might have been neglected on
the previous day; and such neg

desire to yaA.e their saloons on
Sunday, but policy demands that
since their competitors persist in
llsregardipg the Sunday law, all
leavy license payers keep a look

plainly, the man who refuses to

A CAKE ROW.

George Joyce was employed as head
waiter at the Occidental Hotel while Lena
cook. Yesterday afternoon the two had a
Sights misunderstanding which resulted in
Lena swearing out warrant for Joyce S
arrest. The case was tried before Justice
Cooper and the evidence produced was of
a character to show that George had struck
Lena in anything but an agreeable manner.
The controversy arose out of the taking of
some cake, and it was thought that the
testimony was conclusive as to the fact
that Lena took the cake" and George
took fine. The court assessed him SIS
and costs, and in default he was conyeye
to the Armory

MUSIC STORE

The branch establishment of w. w.
KimbalPs Chicago music store, located in
this city and under the management of
Mr.. d. Roy Bowlby is fast becoming one
of the most attractive business houses
west of Chicago.
Only short time ago the branch house
was established in this city, and its original
block. Under Mr.. Bowlbys personal SUI
pervision the business increased to such an
extent that it was found necessary to move
into larger and more commodius quarters
The change has now been effected and
the new music house is a credit not alone
to the parties most concerned, but also to
the entire city. 1t is situated on the south
side of Second avenue, near the corner of
Eighteenth street, two doors west of the
Rock Island National bank It's central
location and increased facilities for CON
Quoting business on an extensive scale will
make this musical establishment a promi-
nent feature in Rock Island Two floors
of the building will be occupied, the
first or ground floor will be used exclusive
ly as a show room
The second story viii be devoted to the
repairing department, while the basement
will be utilized as an immense store room.
The building has been leased for term of
years, and some substantial and handsome
improvements have been made. The office
furniture and shelving for the display of
music and the instruments generally to be
found in well stocked musical emporium,
are especially attractive and convenient.
Mr.. Bowlby, the manager, is determined
to eclipse all former efforts, and to that
end he has enlarged his stock of musical
goods and now has the most complete
assortment of all articles in that particular
branch of trade, that ever has been collect
ed west of the Garden City" Pianos and
Organs are sold on the installment plan, and
every inducement is offered to secure good
bargains.
The working force of the Rock Island
Branch House, include D. Roy Bowlby,
Manager; Sam. F. Bowlby, c, F. Stephens,
George Marzi, w NJ Bowlby, E. c. Kohn,
and NJ. Bowlby.

when once the roads are opened there will
be blockade of trains.
The food has cost the railroad compan-
while the incidental damage can never be
estimated.
A large crowd of visitors went out to
Milan to-day to view the flood and its
effects.

to-day, as it is hoped that no further trou-
BILE will be experienced in sending them to
and from this city.

CANAL CONTENTION

The importance of the Hennepin canal
project is impressed on all by the present
high water, which places an embargo on
railroads and forces them to refuse freight
from various points.
The Board of Trade of Davenport held a
meeting yesterday afternoon, when the
subject was freely discussed. Judge Muir
ply delivered a speech, in which he strong
ly advocated the construction of the canal.
A committee of ten members will be APP
pointed by the President of the Board,
who will act as reception and entertain
ment committee during the coming con-
vention in that city.

NOT FOUND.

Thursday night Marshal Miller received
dispatch from the Sheriff of Albert Lea,
Iowa, notifying him to arrest man by the
name of Herman Bamberger. The man
had taken passage from the Iowa Station
to this city, and was consequently expected
yesterday. He was described as partially
paralyzed and walked with a cane.
The officers watched every train that ar
rived in this city during the day, but Bam-
berger failed to materialize. 1t is not
known what crime, if any, Bamberger has
committed in Iowa, as the dispatch simply
stated that such a party was wanted in that
locality. 1t is barely probable that he left
the train before reaching this city.

I'm recapitulation the conclusions OF the
commission may be stated as follows:
"First-The system of works in progress
on the Mississippi river between st, Paul
and the mouth of the Illinois river, with
the notifications which experience will
suggest suggest, is adequate for the i'm
provement of navigation, and should be
pushed rapidly to completion.
"eecond-A sufficient improvement of
the river is not to be expected from the
action of system of reservoirs alone.
"Ihird-lt is possible that on the COM
pletion of the observations now in progress
some of the proposed reservoirs which fur
nish water at the least cost, may be found
to be economical aids to the principal sys-
tenn of channel contraction. But they
should only be built when the works for
channel contraction approved have been
carried to the fullest economical develop
ment.
"Foa,tA 1t is recommended that the
entire amount of 100000 for carrying
on the adopted improvements between st.
Paul and the mouth of the Illinois river be
appropriated in one sum.
F'Fifh-It is recommended that the
sum of $4,000 be appropriated for con-
tinuing the observations, examinations and
surveys necessarily required as preliminary
to a trustworthy estimate of the capabili-
ties and cost of an efficient reservoir sys-
tenn

WALL, PAPER

Mr.. r. Champion the leading stationer
and book seller of this city has just re

avenue the latest styles of decorative wall
Paper.
The stock now on exhibition is the most
varied and extensive that ever has brought to
this, or any of the neighboring. cities,
while the prices are so moderate and
reasonable that successful competition is
out of the question. Those who desire
artistic and elegant designs for their resi-
dence will find that Mr. Champion can
furnish the most exquisite patterns of
the Moriss and Dresser schools for less
money than can be secured at any place
west of Chicago. The same moderate
cha rges are made on wall paper of less
pretentious quality, as the immense stock
carried, enables Mr.. Champion to secure
the lowest wholesale rates and thus under
sell his less fortunate competitor
His present large assortment includes
dados and frieZes of great variety while
the stair way and ceiling decorations
are marVelS OF aTllsllC -HoThhdilsllip
By making specially of this department,
Mr.. Champion has secured reputation for
the harmonious blending of colors and
perfect manner in which work committed
to his charge has been finished.
His present stock will permit the most
beautiful combination of designs, and
offers fine opportunity for tasty arrange
ments in mantle panels, or decorations
whc h, in future, will be marked feature
of work completed under Mr. Champions
directions.
A full line of window shades, of the
latest pattern and designs, can also be Sc
cured. The shades are of many colors
and tints, and have dado decorations
They are very handsome, while some very
attractive ones are also to be found of low
priced character
Ebony and gilt room mouldings combined
of one or more materials complete the gen
eral mention of goods adapted to the house

An inspection of the stock, now at Mr..
Champions store, and a knowledge of
prices, will convince the most skeptical,
that the finest decorations can be purchas-
ed in Rock Island for less money than can
be bought in either Davenport of Moline.
