ing 'children's day" was carried out at tie
NJ. E.. church. In the morning songs
were sung, and addresses were
made by Rev. ]. S. McCord,
the pastor, ]. L. Freeman and E. D.
Sweeney. Although the rain poured
down during the evening, the church was
crowded, the lower seats being all Occur
pied, and many were in the gallery. Rec
itations and songs was the programme
and it was beautifully carried out by the
children. Many of the songs were origi-
nal, the Others being very appropriate for
the occasion.
In 1866 the church started the custom
of observing children's day, The pro-
ceeds go towards aiding worthy young
men through college, who,'on account of
their financial affairs, would not be able
to carry out their collegiate studies.
Since that year 900 young men have been
thus aided Over $50 of them are now in
the ministry, and fifty in the foreign mis-
sionary field, pointing out TO darkened
souls the bright path that leads to God

by John Ellsworth, who jumped in after

was completely Frustrated by the excite
ment and exertion which he had gone
through. He grew delirious during the
night and raved like maniac. The river
was dragged Saturday night and Sunday
for the body of the boy, but without
avail
Farrell was calmer this morning, and
now sees the folly of his action in going
on the river, and in the vicinity of the
dam, with nothing to guide the Loaf with
but small board 1t was certainly a
foolish move, and the poor man keenly

While on hunting excursion in the great coal

met William Coil, a lamberman. Accustomed 10

was true knight of the Axe. Many tree had

Coil is a character, and If Oscar Wilde is right in
saying that all movements in unhindered labor are
graceful, friend William, stripped for his work,

MAKE THEM FREE.

The petition of the merchants to the
city council, praying for free bridges
across Rock river, should receive the
earnest consideration of that body. 1t

toll charged TO cross these bridges drives
thousands Of dollars worth of trade away
from Rock Island every year. What
Rock Island needs above all things is
boom, and free bridges will help inaugu-
rate that boom. Let every business man
in Rock Island work for free bridges. and

get them. Throw politics to the wind
and let every one put their shoulder TO
the wheel and give the free bridge boom

more interest in our public schools;
that the fathers and mothers are

Don't think you have conquered the

others have struggled and tried; others
have went before a large audience on

its paths were stony, and its trials hard

The world is hard for many, and
especially to those who make it hard for
the world.

After considerable delay, caused by
broken mains, the water works were in
running order again Sunday afternoon.

necessary to send to Iowa City for new
main TO replace the broken main When
that arrived, and while the broken pieces
was being taken out, another section
broke, and word was again sent to Iowa
City for more main
1t is hoped that the new superintendent
will have enough foresight to keep water
main on hand, and not be compelled TO
send all over the country when break
occurs, as was the case this time. The
ex-superintendent always depended on
Davenport for mains, but Mr. Kerr should
