A Union Depot.


A number of the railroad boys have
asked us several times why we call
the c., R. l. & P. depot the union depot
The reason we do it is from the fact that
there are more trains which arrive and
depart from that depot than any other
depot in the city, or in any Of the three
cities, for that matter 1t is not true that
in literal sense this depot is union de-
pot, but it is as nearly union depot than
any other depot in the city. But why not
have a union depot in the city-a depot
where all the trains can come in and de-
part from? There is rumor, and it is
only rumor, we are sorry to say, that
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul folks
have under contemplation the idea of
building large depot in the city, mas
much as they have none of their own at
present-the depot they are now occupy
ing being the property of the c., r. l. &
P. folks. A more proper place for a
union depot could not be found than the
present site now being used by the Mil
| waukee folks. We. for one, would be
glad to see large union depot erected,
as indeed would every citizen of Rock
Island. The city is large enough to have
depot of this kind and the only wonder
is that it hasn't one The Chicago Mil
waukee g. St. Paul folks are plenty able
to build any kind of depot they desire
to, and we hope that road will do some
thing towards building a union depot.

The PoaIomce.

This evening Major ]. M. Beardsley
stepped down and out of the postoffice,
and Major Halves took possession. Dur
ing Major Beardsley's administration he
has given satisfaction to all, and has
improved the system to great extent,
which Major Halves will continue. The
following gentlemen and ladies will con
stitute the postoffice force 10 the future:
Mail clerk, A. D. Frantz; city distributor,
Fl. G. Brooks; Koenigsaker and J. l.
Beardsley general delivery clerks, and
Miss Cleland, money order clerk. Major
HAYES invited the Misses Beardsley to
remain in the Office but they have de
clined not to remain During their stay in
the postofice they acquired great deal Of
proficiency and made many friends, who
regret to hear that they will not accept
the positions that have been rendered
them.

Ont Late.

Miss Maggie Dudley, of this city, and
Miss Nellie Huntly, of Chicago, had quite
a novel experience yesterday afternoon
and last night They had been visiting
friends at Viola, Mercer county, and
started to drive home While on the way,
the harness broke, and they were delayed
several hours. They had calculated to
reach home before dark, but it was two
o'clock this morning when they reached
the toll gate at Milan. Bridge Tender
Carnahan stopped them, thinking that
they were suspicious characters, but when
he found cut his mistake he let them &c
on He scared them, however, by saying
that he would telephone the city police to
be on the lookout for them. Arriving
here they could find no one to unhitch
their horses, and they were compelled to
act as hostlers. 1t is safe to say that the
girls were tired out upon reaching home

Midnight Marauders.

Last night when the moon had sunk to
rest some person or persons without the
being of the Lord or the virtue before
their eyes, invaded on Mr.. r. Stanton s
hen roost on Second avenue between
Eighth and Ninth streets, and carried of
six of her finest chickens Who it was
Mr. Stanton don't know, but if he can
catch the party his name is Dennis
Some effort should be made to bring the
depreciation of this gang of chicken
thieves to an end. If they keep on in the
future at the rate they have been in the
past, there won't be chicken left in the
| lower end of town.

Obituary.

WATERTowN, H., July 30.-Our little
community is saddened by the death of
Mrs. Jane Livergood, She had not been
well for more than year. and though at
times she seemed better, she grew
weaker and weaker, and finally passed
away Tuesday evening few minutes
before ten O'Clock. Death came SO easy
it seemed like sleep.
Miss Mary J. Mease was born Dec.
18th. 1882, Clearfield county. Pa. She
was married to Mr. Ellis Livergood, Dec.
18th, 1862 She was member of the
Methodist church. Was left widow in
1873 with six Children, the Oldest but
nineteen years and the youngest a baby
During all these years since Mrs. Liver
good has proven herself a good and
noble mother The family has been kept
together, and by their united industry
have accumulated a comfortable and
beautiful home. Such women as Mrs.
Livergood are blessing to the world

Life Size Portrait of Mayor Mott.

A life size portrait of Mayor Mott is
now on exhibition at Champion & Co. s
book store. 1t is crayon work, ana. is an
exceedingly fine picture of the subject.
1t attracts considerable attention and is
a great credit to the artists, Messrs. Rob-
erty & Bradley, who have produced some
very fine portraits in this section. They
have just completed pair of pictures OF
Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Warnock, and sin
gle one of the late II. o. Sleight, of
Moline. All who wish pictures made can
have it done in the highest and best style
known to the art By these artists. They
only canvass three places in one year, as
their work contains so much merit that il
is impossible to get over more territory.

Religious.

Last night was the regular night for
holding the usual prayer NEE ting in the
various churches. Taking our advice the
brethren turned out in force. and in cons
sequence thereof, the attendance was I'M
usually large. This is what We like to
see. 1t is always good thing to be
zealously affected in good thing. There
is nothing in the world that tends 10
make the people in the world better, than
religion. pure and undefiled The mere
of pure religion there is on this mundane
sphere. the better off we are.

Dull

Everything is dull 1t is even worse
than that-it is duller The police have
not made an arrest for two whole DAYS.
Just think of it, for fortyeight hours we
have all been good, This is as gratifying
as it is glorious. The merchant and the
tradesmaI can now find time to talk pol
itics and speculate on the future prospects
of the country, but the justices and the
newspaper men catch it. The former, il
this dizziness holds out will soon be out
of meat, while the newspaper men will
have to eat turnips and go barefooted.

Weeds.

Glory, glory, hallelujah, the millennium
must surely be approaching, for the street
commissioner has put force of men al
work cutting the weeds that so abun-
dainty abound ON our streets. Now thai
work has been commenced, we suggest the
idea that he cut down the big patch Of
gypsom weed on Twentieth street, be
tween First and Second avenues. People
who come in on the trains are likely to
think that the city has gone to farming.
but is raising nothing but weeds.

The "a" Mill.

Yesterday was big day with the "a"
saw mill, owned and operated by the
Rock Island Lumber & Manufacturing
company. Yesterday the workmen
turned out 210, 762 feet of lumber, 40, 00O
lath and 5000 shingles. This is the best
record ever made in one day by any mill in
the city. This cut was made by Lewis,
Smith, and Charles Fink.

An Inclplent Fire

About seven o'clock last evening Mr.
Charles Wulff, who runs a restaurant on
Union square, went into his back yard to
coop up some chickens, where he noticed
lot of smoke coming out of the up stairs
window of his building. He rushed up
stairs aud found one of his feather beds
on fire, but with few buckets of water
soon put the fire out There is nothing
to show how the bed came to be on fire
1t was very fortunate that the fire was
discovered as soon as it was, as the whole
block would soon have been in flames.

The officers sent Herman Hendrix, the
little red headed kid, who claimed that
his father had abused him, back home
yesterday Officer McCabe called on him
yesterday and found that the father had
bought Herman new suit, out and out,
which the kid had on, and as he sported
them before the cop, he said, "aint they
dandy fit?" 1t is hoped that the father
and son will now dwell together in unity,
peace and righteousness

Drunken Men.

If any of the police had been on Second
avenue about seven O'Clock last night,
they could have found work to do. A
gang of very drunk men were cavorting
around like lot of Indians, disgusting
everyone they saw. There were three of
them and after fooling around awhile,
they got on street car and pulled out
for Moline.

A Blossom .

A blossom, or more properly speaking
q street faker, held forth near Thomas
drug store on Second avenue last night
He had a new snap-an electric machine
and tried his best to get some of the boy
to take hold of the machine, but thel
could not be induced to. At late hou
he boxed up his machine, vowing that thu
people here were set of heathens.
