Future of the Evening Paper.

A well known journalist prOphesies
that the time will come when the even-
ing paper will be the great journal of the
day. He says that four-ffths of the
startling news of the world is first pubs
lished in the evening papers. In these
active times people cannot spare time to
read during the busy hours of the day;
they merely glance over the paper at
home before starting to business, or skim
it hurriedly in the conveyance to town to
get an outline of the news. But they
take an evening paper home with them
to read leisurely and car efully after the
days work is done. The only advantage
the morning journals have in the matter
of news is in reporting evening meetings
and lectures, noticing new plays. and
giving the news of the night up to two
O'Clock or later Most news, as a rule,
occurs after the morning journals go to
press and before the evening journals is
sue their latest editions.

a Good Investment.

Anyone Who mas ever dealt in lands,
knows that no investment of money will
so surely and quickly yield return, as
such venture If carefully made. To
the absolute safety of government
bond, is added profit far in excess of
rate of interest which can be obtained
on any safe loan. In Kansas and Neb-
raska especially lands are raising in value
very rapidly and with a steady growth
which gives assurance OF stability. The
good season and the great tide of immih
grafton into these states has made invest
ment there doubly safe and desirable.
The climate of Southern Nebraska and
of Kansas. free as it is from the long
RIGOROUS cold winter, added to a soil
unsurpassed for richness and productive
capacity, has made possible the wonderful

given at Harper's theatre this evening.
Tue company arrived in an elegant spec

great opera will be presented by the full
company and chorus just as given in
New York City. The sale of seats has
been good so far, and it is expected that
by tonight nearly every seat in the house
will be taken. The company appeared
at Davenport last night and the night
before, and the Gazette of this morning
says of it:
The Little Tycoon" was again present

the audience showed their appreciation
of the merits of the play by their fire.

Acting upon the suggestion offered in

has called meet ing Of the Rock Island

evening. ard Manager Lowrey has shown
his interest in the enterprise by tender.
Ing the use Of the Harper house, as the
place of the meeting. There should be a
large attendance of citizens at this
meeting, as the proposed removal of the
c., R. |. & P shops is also to come up.
and conference is desired as to be plans
of pushing Rock Island claims for secur>
ing them.
The idea of union depot, a subject
that has been oft discussed, seems to meet
with general favor upon its revival now,
and it is to be hoped indeed, that suffi
cent enthusiasm may be aroused to carry
the project through.
A DRIVING PARK.
For few days the feas Utility
of first class driving park IN
Rock Island has been talked of and con-
siderable interest is taken in the matter;
so much in fact that public meeting
will be held at the Harper house on Sat
urday evening, when a number of gentle
men from Moline-this IS not politics
will be present and the probabilities are
that steps will be taken looking to the
establishment of a park. 1t is though,
$50, 900 will be sufficient for all purposes,
purchase of the land, erection of the
amphitheatre, club house, etc. This can
certainly be raised when the vast benefit
the city will derive from a meeting held
here twice year, is considered. Several
sites are being considered; one near the
old base ball park in Brooks addition,
and another on the Rock Island &
Milan road, on the Davenport land. To.
ward the securing of either of these
tracts, the street railroads approaching
each. would doubtless aid in securing the
10 cation.
NEW INDUSTRY.
President Ferguson. of the Rock Islam d
Silver and Nickie Plating works who is
also president of the Rock Island Busi>
uess Mems association, has for some time
been corresponding with one of the two
scissors and shears factories at Rockford.
with a view of getting it to locate in
Rock Island. and his efforts SO far have
been attended with very satisfactory re,
suits. The proposition is to bring the
industry to this city and locate it ada
cent to the Silver Plating works on
Eighteenth street and Fifth Avenue.
The result would be a mutual benefit TO
the Institutions. the work being OF such a
nature that locations as near each other
as possible is quite desirable. There is
little doubt but that this industry will be
brought to Rock Island at an early day
In fact the Silver Plating company is
laying plans for its new buildings With
that end in view.
Taking all things into consideration.
Rock Island appears to be on the eve of
genuine boom, and it remains to the
amount of enterprise and enthusiasm
displayed by our citizens whether the OPP
portunitIes offered are improved or not.
