The Engineers Office.

1t begins to look to a man up tree as
though Major Mackenzie was to remain
in charge of the I. S. engineers Office in
this city, despite the universal opposition
that has been manifested against him.
He has gone to the Des Moines rapids
with Capt. Ruffner for the purpose of ins
structing the latter about the work from
the rapids to the mouth of the Illinois
river, which it is supposed will be his
field Of labor. 1t has been intimated that
an Indignation meeting will be held in
this city soon to protest against the reten>
ton of Major Mackenzie, who despite the
opposition of the people and directly an
tagonistic to the interests of the city is
running the Office here the same as hereto>
fore, keeping the officials under him in ST
Paul Whether an Indignation meeting
Will have any effect upon the Secretary
Of War or not remains to be seen,
but the people will have the sat-
isfaction of expressing their dis
pleasure in regard to Major Mackenzie
continuance in power here in way that
he can not afford to quietly submit to.
No man, especially one in public life, de-
sires the fact to go abroad that he has so
conducted himself that the people have
been compelled to publicly denounce his
course. In an interview with reporter
for this paper recently, Major Mackenzie
intimated that it was not the city's busi>
ness how the engineers Office was con
Quoted, for he said that the city appeared
to think that it owned the office and he
was of the opinion that it did not The
office under Major Mackenzies admins
tration has been an Office in name only.

properly belong here have been kept al

Majors claims that this city is unhealthy
is unfounded in fact. He has hurt the
reputation of Rock Island by his repre-
sensations, and It's citizens do not wan
such man in their midst. These are 9
few of the many reasons that an indigna-
| ton meeting is being talked of,

Insane.

Last evening City Marshal Ed Kittlee
sen, of Moline, brought a lady named
Mrs Hanna Youngren, Of Moline, down
to the county Office for the purpose of
having her sanity inquired into in a iu-
dicial manner. Judge Adams being alb
sent his trip was in vain. Some time ago
Mrs. Youngrens husband was sent to the
insane asylum, and after short stay
there he was discharged as cured. He
went out west, since which time his family
have heard nothing of him. Mrs. Youn-
gren has three small children, and has
struggled hard to support them. Fol
sometime she has been pauper, and
when it was suggested that she would be
sent to the poor house she became vio-
lently insane and threatened suicide.

SIGNS OF THE TINES.
How Things Look TO Man OF Business
"a Little Dull just Now but
Better Times Coming.

"Well, how is business?" asked re-
porter of a prominent business man this
morning.
"Dull, replied the party addressed.
ut always is at this time of year." he
added
"Why is it so?" queried the scribe.
well, there are various reasons for
it. One cause is that Just now
the farmers are all busy threshing,
blowing, etc., and are not coming into
town, consequently business is little
dull. This is nothing unusual for this
time of the year, for the reasons that
have heretofore expressed. As soon as
the farmers get their crops in proper con-
dition they will begin to come in more
lively and the fall market will open up.
Then you will see lively times here for a
couple of months at least. Market square
will be crowded with teams"
The market isn't as good as it was ten
years ago, is it?"
mo; the trade from the south has been
seriously cut into by the little stations
which have sprung up along the line of
the Mercer county railroad. Before that
road was built Rock Island got all the
country produce and trade for a distance
of twenty miles or more to the southwark
Now you see good deal of it goes to the
stations along the line of the railway
OF course this weakens Rock Island.
However, we get good deal of stuff OF
one kind and another here. Oh, yes,
times are little duh now, but they will
brighten up soon. The fall trade will
begin next month ard matters and things
will brighten us wonderfully, just see il
they don't.

New Hospital.

County Clerk Donaldson and III. C.
Cleveland returned this morning from
Kankakee, where they have been for the
purpose of seeing what could be done to-
wards getting some of the insane people
transferred from the overcrowded poor
farm of this county. 1t is perhaps under
stood that S330,000 was appropriated by
the last legislature for the purpose of
building wing on the Illinois eastern
insane asylum, at Kankakee, This wing
is now nearly comp leted. Next week
twenty of the male inmates of the insane
department of the Rock Island county
poor house will be taken to Kankakee,
and when the wing is completed number
of the female inmates of our poor house
will also be sent to the new asylum. Mr..
r. s. Dewey is superintendent of the
Kankakee asylum. The removal of these
patients will be great relief to the Rock
Island county poor house, which for sew
eral years has been in deplorably
crowded condition.

little more than week ago Thomas
Lennon was up before Justice Chopper
for having been drunk. He was given the
usual corrective and left the presence of
the court very penitent and promised not
to do SO again. Thomas seems to have
forgotten his promise, for last night he
was raising merry Hades in the Fourth
avenue hotel. He was talking very louG
and using disrespectful language when
Office Metsch came along and escorted
him to the refrigerator. This morning
he was before Justice Chopper again

Base Ball.

There was an excellent game of ball at
the park yesterday afternoon. The Kewa~
nee club showed itself worthy of the steel
of the Stars of this city. In the first part of
the game the Stars secured slight advan-
tage which they held to the sixth inning,
when the Kewanees pumped three tallies
and then had the lead. They got two
more, one in the seventh and one in the
eighth and won the game. Following is
the score by innings.

How to DIsappoint a Balkv Horse.

Fitchburg Mass. Sentinel: A Leo
minister farmer broke his horse of n
"balky" freak In very quiet and, as he
claims, not cruel manner. His horse
is in excellent flesh and shows no signs
of neglect on the part of his master.
He drove him, attached to rack-wagon,
to the wood-lot fora small load of wood.
The animal would not pull a pound.
He did not beat him with club, but
tied him to tree and slet him stand. I"
He went TO the lot at sunset and asked
him to draw. but he would not
straighten atug. Il made up my mind, ;"
said the farmer. "when that horse went
to the barn he would take the load of
wood. The night was not cold. / went
to the barn. got blankets and covered
the horse warm, and he stood until
morning. Then he refused to draw.
At noon / went down and he was
probably hungry and lonesome. He
drew that load of wood the first time I
asked him. Ireturned, and got another
load before I fed him. Ithen rewarded
him with a good dinner, which he
eagerly devoured. Ihave drawn several
loads since. Once he refused to draw,
but as soon as he saw me start for the
house he started after me with the load.
A horse becomes lonesome and dis
contented when left alone, as much so
as person, and, I claim this method,
if rightly used, is far less cruel and is
better for both horse and man than to
beat the animal with club"

The Grand Secretary of the Masons
of New York has expressed himself in
the following language in discussing
the Pope's last encyclIcal letter:
"The Encyclical letter of the Pope
directed against our brotherhood will
have an effect of which he little dreams
The Catholic clergy cannot be more
bitter against us than they have been
all the time, but some of the Protestants
also have been bitter, and have used
their great influence against us; and
this letter of the Pope's will simply
unite all classes of Protestants in our
favor, for it shows clearly that the at
tacks against us are based upon the be-
lief that we are inmical to ecclesiastical
tyranny. So we are. We are tor ra-
tional liberty. Free Masonry prescribes
no articles of faith, dictates to no mans
conscience, lays down no rules or dis
cipline of conduct, but eXacts from
every man belief in one universal
bOts IltO hAtNNhi tNhSiNo bAC
erhood of man and tn, Fatherhood of
God The effect will be not only to
unite all classes of ProteStants, but to
draw the attention of the world to Free
Masonry, to enlarge greatly the num-
beers of our association, and to create
lodges where before there were none.
Mind you, the Pope is well aware that
the Grand Master of Italy is a bitter
hater of ecclesiastical tyranny, and of
late years lodges have greatly multi
piled in Italy. and especially in Rome.
Under the very shadow of the Vatican
lodges are held. and no doubt he feels
that the influence of the Order is OPP
posed to his rule. In America Catho-
lies do not become Free Masons. They
cannot do so and remain Catholics, for
when dying priests will not give them
rites unless they renounce us, and will
not bury them unless they give up Free
Masonry"
