Comparison of Prices of Water i'm Rock
Island and Other Cities.

Few are aware of tie fact that the
water consumers of this city get Their
water cheaper than almost every city in
the United States. The system, being I'm,
der the control of the city and construct
ed so that every economical appliance
compatible with perfect service is made
to assist in cutting down expenses, it is
made possible to give water cheaper than
at other places. The low cost enables a
greater number to use the water works
water than would otherwise do so. The
capacity of the works is far greater than
the consumption in the city, and furnish
Ing additional water costs but little more
coal and power so that TO a certain limit
the more water the works furnish, the
cheaper it can be sold. The cost of water
to consumers here ranges from to Is
cents per thousand gallons, or cheaper,
by from 5 to 80 cents, than any of the
following thirty-one places:

Shot at n Burglar.

Ben Vandeveer, of Andalusia, had a
little experience with burglar night be-
fore last. He was awakened during the
night by noise, and found by the noise
and the dim light of lamp turned very
low that person was running about in
his room. He quietly got a revolver
which he keeps and fired. He thought he
knew the man, and therefore he did not
want to shoot, and PERHAPS kill him,
so he just shot for the purpose of soaring
him. He succeeded, for the man got out of
the house and down the road as though
the evil one was after him. Mr.. Vandes
veer did not find anything missing. He
thinks the intruder had an idea that he
had received insurance money, and was
trying to get it.

PROBABLE VICTORY
For the Democrats---A Quiet Election
and a Light Vote P0lled.
Tickets Scratched In all Possible Ways
to Suit Shades of Opinion.

Up to three o'clock this afternoon TIT
vote in the different wards was light, thu
weather having interfered seriously with
the polling of full vote. Early in the
morning there was quite rush before il
clouded up and began raining, but this
ceased suddenly and they came in very
slowly from that time. Ticket scratching
has been very general, perhaps more SC
than on any previous election for years
Straight tickets were the exception more
than the rule, and the result is thus SO
mixed up that nothing but the count will
settle the question.
The election viii prove very close, but
there is little doubt but what the demo,
cratsswill elect the city ticket and ma
Jonty of the aldermen. Mayor Mott and
Harry Abel are making strong run, as
are the other candidates.
The saloons were closed all day in com
pllance with the city ordinance and pro-
clamation of the mayor, so that cases of
drunkenness.or obstreperous conduct were
unusually infrequent. Everybody was
peacable and in very serious earnest, for
the election of their favorites. Candidates
are as much in the dark as any in regard
to the result, the scratching destroying all
calculations.
The vote at o'clock stood at 1855 in
the First ward, IT'S in the Second ward,
1870 in the Third ward, 257 in the Fourth
ward, 206 in the Fifth ward, 1874 in the
Sixth ward, and 1870 in the Seventh ward.
This makes total of 1887 votes polled,
o. about half of the actual vote of the
city, which is near $500. This would I'M
dictate that the full vote will not exceed
1900 TO 1000.
In many of the wards the aldermanic
contest is very close, first one side and
then the other claiming to be in the lead.
The Third ward is one of those, as the
democrats seem to think that Alderman
Henry had walkaway and would not need
their assistance. 1t is necessary that all
should vote and make the majority so
large that there shall be no chance for
doubt.
Turn out, democrats, who have not
voted. and cast your ballot before Z
o'clock for the straight democratic ticket.

Fritz Emmet's Fritz.

J. X Emmett struck Rock Island al a
poor time to secure a big house. The
election excitement was at its height and
those having any interest in the outcome
were busy elsewhere. 1t was a fair au>
dience, however, although it would have
been much larger under other circum>
stances. for Fritz" is a prime favorite.
His new play THE Strange Marriage of
Fritz. is not so strong as his last Fritz,
but there are chances for clever acting.
The rollicking Fritz was the life of it and
is just as good a singer as ever. His
songs were well applauded. The cast
was weak with but few exceptions. Neil
Corwin, the villainous attorney, was well
taken by Mr.. 7. F. McCabe Miss Eileen
Mccarthy, as portrayed by Miss Emma
Field, was not what it should have been.
She did not seem to put any feeling into
the part. As the Dutch woman atten-
dant of Eileen, Emmett had q good make
up and when he was accompanied in a
dance by the diminutige Livezey, little
girl about three years of age, it brought
down the house, Fritz" had better go
back to his thoroughly German plays,
where his character will be consistent.

the union was the most complete vet
made, and would suggest that the same
be referred to the printing committee for
publication, as he had many requests
from gentlemen of the medical profession
| for copy.
Alderman Henry moved that the man.
uscript be referred to the mayor and com.
mittee on printing.
Alderman Bennett moved as an amend
ment. that the matter be referred to the
printing committee and the mayer to res
port on its ACCESSIBILITY and whether there
is sufficient money IN the printing fund

same was referred to the attention of the
health commissioner.
Alderman Bennett from the waterworks
committee, reported favorably on the pet
ition of J. II. Adler for rebate on water
rents paid. Recommendation adopted.
Alderman Bennett also recommended 10
the incoming council, j. e., waterworks
committee, the purchase of work bench
and tools in their department for small
repairs to machinery, by the engineers in
charge, which would much benefit the
city.
Alderman Sinnet from the street and

of Jacob Deis with the recommendation
that his sidewalk be filled up to grade.
Report adopted
Alderman Sinnet also stated that he
had been requested by Mr.. Guido Beck,
on account of sickness in his family, TO
grant him six weeks extension for the
completion of the city's map. On motion
the time asked for was granted.
Alderman Schroeder from the' finance
committee stated that as the tax levy is
beginning to come in some disposition
should be made as to the mony reserved
for sinking fund and moved that the
matter be referred to the mayor and fl
nance committee to report at next meet
ing as to the best means to invest the
same. Motion adopted.
On motion of Alderman Larkin the
council adjourned to Saturday evening
