by the Business Mems Association as
of one, to ascertain from man
ufacturers in this city how many of their
men live in Davenport and their names.
Business men, who have such employees,
win please notify Mr. Denkman in person

many men want houses and then some
provision will be made for them. 1t is
good move, and business men should
attend to this matter at once, and send
Mr. Denkman the names of their employ
es who live out of the city.

ing around for suitable grounds and no
place offers better facilities than the va
cant grounds on the south side of Moline
avenue. east of Twenty seventh street,
owned by the Rodman estate. If the
ground can be leased at a reasonable |
igure the club will put high board fence
around it and charge a small admissionfee
when match games are played, Having
he base ball grounds located at that
point it will be a source of profit to the
Moline s. Rock Island Railway Company,
which ought to take considerable interest
q the matter. 1t being about midway be-
ween Rock Island and Moline, the fare
you'd only be only 5 cents from either
