PARK IMPRovEMENT.

The construction of the music stand in
Union park, and the open air concerts that
have been given in that structure, have
the idea of still further improving that
square. The first move viii be to secure
lawn benches or seats, and the construc-
ton Of walks and flower beds and foun-
tain, will speedily follow. The funds to
erect a stand, which proves quite an orna-
ment in that locality, were raised by pri-
vate subscription, and it is proposed to
repeat the programme to secure the money
for the purchase of seats in the same man
ner. The benefits to be derived from the
concerts and improvement of the park,
are SO manifest that it is thought the citi-
zens viii respond literally to the call. and
park is public improvement, and is gen
orally cared for under the general appro
priation of city funds, and the members
of the council have hitherto been slow to
act in that direction, and the first step to-
wards securing park has been made by
few private citizens. The success which
followed the first move induces those
who had charge of it to believe that the
purchase of seats will also meet with the
same hearty response. The subscription
papers viii be started in Il short time, and
it is to be hoped that the seats can be Sc
cured before the next concert to be given
on Saturday evening

Water Works could be utilized for that
purpose in addition to supplying the power
for pumping purposes. The city author
tiles are of the opinion that this would not
be practical or good policy, as the speed
of the engine is slow and uneven and
would not therefore prove of advantage to
the electric system, which requires rapidity
of movement and evenness of the motive
power They, however, are of the opin-
ion that the steam might be supplied to
run an engine put in for that special pur-
pose which would work to the satisfaction
of all parties. Some plan will doubtless
be devised within short time which will
unite such a combination as is suggested
above. The managers of the Electric
Light Company are positive that the new
system will be in operation in this city
early in October.

SEWER BIDS.

The members of the street and alley com
mittee of the council are having difficult
time to secure bids for the construction OF
the Fifth avenue sewer Some time ago
an award was made, but the successful
bidder refused to give bond for the faith
full performance of his work, and as con
sequence new bids were requested. The
committee had meeting last Saturday
night, and also last night, when no award
was made. AT the meeting last night the
following report was adopted:
Bids for the Fifth avenue sewer: J. w.
Graham 1912 per foot; Patrick Kennedy.
So. SO; David Stephens. $3.50; John Lahiff,

The undersigned members of the street
and alley committee, believing that the
work can be done for less money than any
of the above bids. prefer to refer the letting
of the work to the council at its next meet

AN INSANE PILOT.

Word has been received that Sam
Hitchcock. one of the oldest pilots on the
upper Mississippi, has become deranged
and is now in Colorado under treatment.
For some years he has been the pilot on
the Kit Carson and was regarded as safe
and thorough river man. The first symp-
toms of his alteration were noticed some
DAYS ago when the boat with her raft was
lying opposite Eagle Point, and the raft
was being split in two pieces preparatory
to running through the bridge. Sam then
inquired of the second pilot, who was on
duty, What are you splitting the raft
for?" The second pilot replied that he was
going to take one piece through the bridge.
bridge has grown since we were here last?"
This remark caused one of the owners of
the boat, who was aboard, and the second
pilot to doubt Sans mental soundness.
SO miles above Burlington, Sam moved the
raft from the dead water, where he origin
ally landed it, to the swift water a short
distance below. This action and other
manifestations during the trip convinced
his friends that he was laboring under
temporary alteration. A friend has taken
him to Colorado in the hope that the eli
mate of that region VIII restore his health
and senses. Over exertion is the cause to
which his misfortune is attributed.

opIATEs IN CONSUMPTION.

The usual practice in cases of consump-
ton is to give powerful anodynes to quiet
the cough" IN all affections of the lungs
this aggravates the disease by weakening
the vital force of the system. The true and
only way to cure a cough, is to tone
and strengthen the respiratory organs, pro-
mote expectoration, and exercise healing
influence on the irritated and tender mem
branes which line the breathing tubes and
envelope the lungs, and it has been proved
beyond cavil, that Hales Honey of Hore-
hound and Tar effects these objects when
all other means have failed. Thousands

company will produce Audran's comic OPP
era of ''Olivette" at Harper's Theatre,
which promises to attract a good sized aud
fence. The company has frequently APP
peared in this city the past season when the
Mascot" was interpreted, and by their
meritorious rendition of that bright and
sparkling musical composition, they Sc
cured for themselves reputation that was
excelled by very few troupes that have
ever performed in Rock Island. In addi-
ton to the old favorites that proved them
selves so popular last year, and among
whom were Fay Templeton, Seth Crane,
Israel Vane and John Templeton, the
troupe has been improved by such actors
as T. c. Armand, who was the original
Valentine in this country. The orchestral
part of the performance has also been i'm
proved by securing Herman Perlit as must
cal conductor The sale of reserved>seats
would indicate that a large audience will
be present this evening but few good
sittings can still be secured at the drug
store of Marshall s. Fisher.
