Ash Wednesday.

Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, the first
day of Lent. 1t was the day that works
of penitence begin among deyout Catho-
lie and Episcopal churches. Among the
Catholics it derives its name from the
ceremony of strewing ashes on the head
as sign of penitenee. which was intro.
duced by Gregory the Great, and sanctioned
by Celertin III, and has since prevailed
throughout the church with little excep-
ton, Before the celebration of mass the
ashes are cousecrated on the altar, sprinkled
with holy water and signed three times
with the cross, while the priest recites the
words "Memento qu0d cio's es ct cinerSm
rercr'js" (Rememoer thou art dust, and
must return to dustl After being thus
coAsecrated, the ashes are strewn upon the
officiating priests and the clergy and the
assembled people. These ashes are said
to be those of the psalms consecrated on
the preceding Palm Sunday The Lenten
season was observed in all the Catholic
churches in this city yesterday, and on
every Wednesday and Friday evenings
there will be special service of prayer and
admOnition.

Rail Rumblings

The Rock Island road has made all its
preparations for the opening of its
through line into Denver, March 1. Four
new sleeping cars have just been received
from the Pullman company, which are
considered the most approved car built,
and which will run between Chicago and
Denver. via the Union Pacific road. on
and after next Saturday evening. The
special feature Is the introduction of cleo
trio bells in every berth. These cars are
named Mt. Shasta. Mt. Hood, Puget
Sound, and Vancouver. Three new din
ing cars have also been completed, which
will run between Chicago and Council
Bluffs and St Paul. They are named
Vendome, Lafayette, and Palace. in honor
of prominent hotels of the same name at
Boston, Philadelphia, and San Francisco.
A number of new chair cars are now in
course of construction.
In obedience to the demand of the rail-
road commissioners of Missouri, the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific road will
reduce its passenger rates il that state to
cents per mile.
Mr.. Hugh Riddle has written letter
in replyto the statements of Messrs. Van
derbilt and Kennedy that he was forced
out of the presidency of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific road, in which he
says that his retirement from that position
was entirely voluntary, and for reasons
wholly mainly because his
physical strength was not quite equal to
the efficient discharge of the duties and
trusts that devolve upon and should be
performed by the president of large
corporation" Mr.. Riddle closes his letter
with a warm commentator of Mr. Cables
management of the Rock Island road.

Bounced Him.

This afternoon big, strapping fellow
who had on board about barrel of booze,
from the effects of which he was sleeping,
was doing away in one of the big chairs
in the Commercial house office The land
lord went and woke HIM up a number of
times telling him to make himself scarce.
The fellow paid no attention to the land
lord other than to give yawn and then
go to sleep again. Finally losing all
patience, the landlord took the fellow by
the nape of the neck and the apex of his
pantaloons and bodily fired him out doors.
The fellow braced up. swore a great big
oath, and trotted towards Second avenue
to find a saloon where he could slumber
in peace.

the fact that brilliant matrimonial event

The Ohio Flood Sufferers.

While other cities are, and have been
raising funds to aid the sufferers from the
floods in Ohio and other states. no efforts
have been made in Rock Island towards
raising fund for the alienation of the
great suffering that now exists. This
is probably owing to the fact that no one
has mentioned the fact that a fund ought
to be raised here. With one of the most
beautiful cities in the state, populated by
wealthy, intelligent and liberal hearted
people, Rock Island should land wilD
raise large sum to be sent to the places
where deselation stalks, like a grim mon
ster through the land. Let an effort be
made at least. The effort will meet with
success. Let US not be behind other cities
in extending help to the helpless and the
desolate. Let a public meeting be called
at once. Let that meeting appoint com
mittees to solicit subscriptions. And
above all things let us have a concert of
action, and large amount of money will
be raised.
