PUBLIC BUILDING.

The subject of securing public build
ing for Rock Island still receives a great
deal of attention and consideration from
those who arc sufficiently interested in the
future welfare of this city to care for it's
material growth and progress The prop
erty owners generally feel that with the
right kind of an effort the building can be
located in this city.
For time it was thought best to solicit
aid and assistance from both the County
Board of Supervisors and the City Coun-
Gil. The first named, however, refused to
appropriate money to be used for lobby
purposes and the council would not re-
fuse in its corporate capacity to vote the
public money for such an end.
The plan adopted is to raise the money
by private subscription, and then send a
delegation of first-class, responsible citi-
zens on to Washington, to keep the mat
ter before congress.
A bill has been introduced to the lower
House of Congress, and prompt action
must be taken to be of any effect.

General of the Marine Hospital Service,
asking what provision can be made for the
gratuitous vaccination Of hospital tax pay
ing rivermen; and have no doubt that he
will make the necessary arrangements to
that end.
When this is done, I would suggest that
you supplement the requirement above
indicated by another, directing that, with
in a reasonable time after vaccination is
thus made gratuitous, ne s.rouster or deck
hand be employed on your boats who does
not present certificate of recent vaccina-
ton Cor other protection) from Marine
Hospital Surgeon.
Nothing impracticable nor onerous is
asked or expected: but it is so entirely
feasible to eliminate this mode of spread
ing small pox-i. e., by unprotected steam
boatmen and employees; and the dangers
to be averted, as well as the benefits to be
derived, are so numerous and so obvious,
that your cordial cooperation is confident
" anticipated.
In acknowledging the receipt of this,
viii thank you for any suggestions or adj
vice you may have to offer on the subject.
Very respectfully,
JOHN III. RAUCH, M. d.,

ICE PTCKERs.

A large force of men have been engaged
for some time in cutting ice in the slough,
as until late day the river has been COM
paratively free from such cold weather
concomitants.
A rather peculiar sight was presented by
a large cake of ice which had foated from
the slough but was held in position at the
river bank by ropes. The cake contained
an area of about two acres, and men were
out cutting the ice which was some eight
inches thick.
The majority of ice harvested the present
season has been placed in the breweries, as
its thickness is not sufficient to make it
well adapted for general consumption. 1t
is thought, however, that the present cold
snap will result in making some very thick
ice.

stores agreed to shut their several doors
against the buying public at 2 p. m. The
