Mr.. J. M. Christy has received notice
that the executive committee of the
Cracker Bakers association, to which he
belongs, has agreed to suspend rules and
let every factory run its own prices. The
decision disbands the organization, and
prices will now only be governed by the
caprice of the manufacturer. The ASSOC
citation was formed four years ago, and
had membership Of 115 bakers from the
southern and western part of the country,
and had jurisdiction from Pittsburg to the
Missouri river, and from Minneapolis and
st. Paul to New Orleans. The last an
nual meeting, very large one, was held
in February in Chicago. The association
has always governed the prices and regu'
lated the manufacture of crackers, ant
while undoubtedly it has made the prices
higher, at the same time it has elevated
the standard. For some time past severa
of the members have been cutting prices
much to the annoyance of those WIFI
wished to abide by the decision of the as
sociation, and the result was that meet
ing of the executive committee was callet
and the organization broken up. Thi
will doubtless have the effect of bringing
about general war, and in short tim
the prices of crackers will be cut RICH
and left.

A Great Curiosity.

Mr.. Robert j. MCGEE, manager of MIR
Riley's marble works, has just received
piece of polished granite which has his
tory which makes its value. The first
railroad ever built in the United States
was laid on granite ties. The railroad has
long been in misuse, and the bed torn up.
The ties have for the most part been des,
troyed. scattered, or covered up and
pieces of them are hard to get. When Mr..
MCGEE was east this spring, he had bust
ness with man who lived near where the
road was laid. The man had piece of one
of these ties and showed it to Mr.. MCGEE,
He also promised him piece of the val
liable stone, and yesterday Mr.. MCGEE re-
ceived it. 1t is what is known as Quincy
granite, of which many monuments are
made. The piece>fe received is highly
polished. 1t is dark gray, considerably
darker than that used here, and very fine
specimen of stone. 1t is to be seen at Mr.
Rileys marble works.

CHANGE IN PROPRlETORS.
Mr.. Rush Field Turns Over the Keys
and Possessions Of the Rock Island
House to W. II. and j. +.
Munger.

After dinner today change took place
in the management of the Rock Island
house. Mr. Rush Field, who has run the
hotel since last August, turned over the
Office of host to the Messrs. Munger, of
Sterling, who will hereafter cater to the
wants of the travelling public.
During the proprietorship of Mr.. Field
there has been wonderful change in the
Rock Island house. When he took it the
business did not amount to enough to pay
expenses. The hotel was run down, its
patrons few, and its name almost worths
less, but he began to change this order of
things. He knew how to keep hotel
and brought order out of chaos. He made
improvements throughout, kept every
thing neat and clean, and what is APP
preciated more than any thing else,
set a splendid table. A genial, good
natured gentleman, ever attentive
to the wants of his guests, he
soon became so popular with the travN
cling public that business increased, and
soon doubled what it was when he went
ia. Still it multiplied, and now nearly
every room in the hotel is filed nightly
and on some OCCASIONS people have beer
turned away for lack of room. Mr.. Field
is by far the best landlord the hotel evel
had. He has worked hard for it, and had
unprecedented and deserved success. The
hotel business is his vocation, and no mat
ter where he takes up his home he i:
bound to to get the lions share of thu
patronage. But he is ambitious, and vii

In the Fifth ward the nomination is one
which meets the approval of every citi-
zen irrespective of party affiliations. The
nominee is young man who was born in
this city. He is ilonest, temperate and in>
dustrious, has won the respect of his en-
ployers, the Rock Island Plow company,
and has been employed in the works for
years. He now holds a responsible posi-
ton there in the iron department. He has
been a resident of the ward which is to be
his constituency ever since he was boy.
and has been democrat all of that time
He has bright intellectual faculties and
would make tip top alderman. He has
great strength as a candidate and will re-
ceive almost the entire vote of the young
men of his ward, as well as big share
of the support of the older voters. Many
will vote for him as representative man
and drop party feeling to get an alderman
of brains and strength of purpose.

The Origin OF Music.

In all countries legends exist ascribing
the origin of music to celestial source.
China, Greece, Rome, Assyria, Egypt
and India all concur in giving the art a
divine origin, and also in returning the
gift to its Maker in songs of praise.
Egypt, however, recognized the dual
character of music by a legend which de-
scribed music as springing from two
sources, the one good, the other evil.
The Egyptian was more spaTing of music
in religious service than Roman OF Gre
clan, but deserves thanks for at least un-
derstanding that music, like any other
art, could be abused. Even to day, the
division between the sensuous and lofty
in music is a strongly marked one; and,
unfortunately, tie tendency of modern
composers is too often toward the former
style, and the oratorio school seems al
most extinct. Musical Herald.
