The amusement lovers of Rock Island
turned out literally to greet Haverly 5
American European MINISTRIES on their
visit to this city last evening. From the
beginning to the end it was undoubtedly
the best entertainment in the minstrel
line that has ever heen given at Harper's
theatre The overture was entirely new
and replete with charming music, vocal
selections, jokes and other features. Lew
Hawkins selection, the Roller Skating
Rink, was appreciated by the audience
and is the hit of the season. Papa 5
Baby Boy" by Raymond Shaw, also took
well The Quaker City quartette in their
new and original speciaties, were well
received and heartily encored The spec
tacular military drill in the moonlight was
novelty worth witnessing. Charley
Reed in his specially. performance, was
excellent. The Cragg family, the won
dcrs of the country in acrobatic feats
gave performance of their marvelou;
grace and skill In all it was an enter
tainment far above the average.

County Court.

Circuit Judge Peasants and County
Judge Adams heard the county court case
of the Moline and Rock Island Gas cons
panies yesterday, wherein the corpora
tons object to the entering of judgment
by the county court against their capital
stock assessment, claiming that such is
illegal, as the assessment on the tangible
property has been made as well as that
on the capital stock. Judgment was en-
tered in all other assessment cases
in June, but these were continued until
now. States Attorney Entrikin appears
for the county, and Messrs. jackson,
Sweeney & Walker and Connolly for the
corporations The outcome will be of
material interest all over the country.
This morning judgment was rendered
against the petitioners, the assessment as
made being sustained.

A Bad Beginning.

A young man of highly honorable and
respected parentage has begun life in a
reckless manner, which, unless he mends
his ways very soon, may lead him to a
life of disgrace. Last evening Manager
Wright, OF Havcrlys Ministries, engaged
this young man--whose name is withheld
from publication on account of the
good name of his family-to peddle song
books in the theatre between acts. Shortly
before the last act, the young man skip
ped for home with $l4 which he had col
lected from the sale of the books, togeth-
er with the other books III his possession,
and Mr.. Harper's private secretary, Mr.
Willerton, was obliged to send police
man to the young rascaPs house to recover
the stolen property.

the erection of the building by,September
1st. Eleven butchers have signed the
contract to patronize the establishment
for five years at least, and conversation
with several of the leading men this
morning gives proof that they are in
earnest in their intentions to do their
own slaughtering.
THE CITY's POSITION.
The reporter also called upon
City Attorney Sweeney. That gentleman
said the city intended to compel the butch
ers to have their slaughtering and inspect
ing done at the abGttoir now in the course
of construction. The conditions of the
land transfer from Bailey Davenport to
the city, was that the city should build it
by Nov. 1st, and maintain the abattoir
for five years, and in failure of so doing
the property should revert back to the
grantor The city, the city attorney said,
had legal power to compel the butchers
to patronize the abattoir and the city
would exercise all such rights.
Health Commissioner Craig was also
interviewed. He was greatly surprised
he said at the course the butchers were
pursuing, for previous to the councils
final action. that body met committee
of the butchers and the matter was thor
oughly discussed and the butchers left in
apparent satisfaction with the arrange
ments The doctor said The butchers OBJ
ject TO the city location on account OF
drainage. There is no better location fol
drainage in the United States They OBJ
| ject on account of pasturage, when they
were pasturing their cattle right across
the road at the same time They object on
account of the size of the abattoir when i
will be double the size of their own
They object on account of size Of the lot
TWO acres-just the same size as theil
own. The only two legitimate grounds
| of objection are the road and low lot A.
the city is meeting both these objections
fairly why should butcher object mort
than any other citizen? This business Of
supplying a city with meat is not pri
vate business. The public have a RICH
to know what they eat, and when the!
pay 124 to Is cents pound for mea
they have right to expect and demand
pure, clean meat, They don't wan
beeves bought for s. head with alb
scesses upon them and too weak t.
walk neither do they want thei
pork fed and fattencd upon rotten gut
and maggots
The health commissioner said he hat
received letter from DR.. J. II. Rauch
secretary OF the state board of health
endorsing the citys action, and stating
the necessity of having one, properl.
managed by the city. That there i
trouble ahead is eminent. The butcher
have shown fight, and the city propose
to meet them in open field. The actior
of the city council at its next session vii
be watched with much interest.
