that occur but once in thirty three years
that is to delight the human vision. The
path of the November meteors extends to
the orbit of Uranus and about the 18th of
every November the earth crosses this
path. This meteoric swarm is punched
that is to say they move mostly in q
group. Every thirty-three years this
group reaches that point in its path
where the earth crosses 1t in November
and then there are meteoric showers.

TWO POPULAR PROJECTS.
The Union Depot and the yinduct -
Mr.. Henry Carse's Report to the
Roads in Chicago-Proposed Action.

Elk Mayor Henry Carse, who was en-
powered by the Rock Island Citizens
Improvement association to lay before
the officers of the Rock Island road the
resolutions adopted at the last meeting
of that body, relating to the union depot
and viaduct question, performed the duty
while in Chicago this week. Mr.. Carse
had conference with Vice President
Kimball, who listened attentivelv 10 the
purport Of tie resolutions, and appeared
anxious to gain full knowledge of the
purpose and desires of the association
and of the city, and said he would lay the
matter fully before President Cable on
his return from the east.
Mr. Carse also called at the general of
fees of the c., B. & Q, but it was SO soon
after the many changes had been made in
the executive management of the road.
that he decided not TO bring the subject
up with the Burlington until later visit
to Chicago. The general offices of the
c., NJ. & ST. P being in Milwaukee, Mr..
Carse was unable to lay the proposition
before that road.
Mr.. Carse and several other representa-
tive citizens will visit Chicago and Mil
waukee as committee in few days and
urge upon all the roads interested the ne
cessity and importance of favorable ac>
ton upon the visduct propositions. and
| there is no reason to believe that any of
the systems will hesitate to concur in an
action that will not only tend to promote
the commerce and traffic of the city, but
will insure public safety at point that is
now one of the most dangerous in the
city.
The union or central depot is certain
to be built, and it is only question OF
time and a very short time at that, wher
steps will be taken to insure its con-
struction. The only point in question
now is as to what methods can best b.
adopted to accomplish the desired ends
The depot will be located somewhere be
tween Twentieth and Twenty>first street
and between the river and Second svenu
and the aim of the Improvement associs
ton is to devise and place before the cit,
and the railroads proposition that vii
be mutually advantageous in maxim
provisions for it. The visduct is a
much of necessity as the depot, even
the latter were not long establishe
and much needed want. and it is in ever
way desirable that the visduct as well a
, the depot shall be built.
The Improvement association meets il
: regular session tonight, when there is
, Likelihood of further action being take
in relation to these very important pre-
, jects.

An Elevator Proposed.

Editor ARGUS:
ROCK ISLAND, Nov. Now in these
times of local progress and enterprise.
what Rock Island needs as much as any
thing else is a grain elevator to encourage
farmers in bringing their grains to our
city, and there is a great deal of idle
money in Rock Island that might find
good and profitable investment in this
way. There are thousands of bushels of
oats, corn, rye and barley that would
come into the city from the surrounding
country If there was an elevator here to
receive 1t. make these suggestions
simply to call the attention OF the New
improvement association. which has al.
ready taken the initiative in local ad-
vancement to this important project.

TRACK LAYING PROGRESS.
The syndieate's Improvement on Mo-
line Avenue A Double Track this
Fall

Fall.
The track laying squad of the Holmes
street car syndicate, has reached TWEEN
ty-third street and Moline avenue coming
west, the old 1T" rail track being paral-
lelled from Thirty>ffth street down the
avenue to this point with the popular
johnson tram rail. The intention row is
to connect the new track with the old
from Thirty-f1fth street west to Twenty
third and substitute the johnson rail for
the "T' rail, thus affordlng a fine
double track over this much of the road
at any, rate this fall. The cars will run
over the new track both ways while the
old one is being rebuilt. 1t is the desire
OF Supt Schuitger to get as much double
track down as possible at once, so that he
may run the Union line cars down the old
Corduroy line from Thirty fifth street
and thus reduce the time between that
junction on Fifteenth street in Rock ISL
and. to seven-snd-s>half minute cars.
Unless freeze up overtakes the work,
the double track building will be pushed
west to Fifteenth street this month.
With these improveme nts Supt. Schnit>
ges can get his systematic arrangement
into running order and thus afford better

Twelve of the new cars are expected in
few weeks, and those. with four Of the
old line cars and those of the Union line
repainted and rep4ired, will give the line
on this side as fine an equipment as could
be asked for. The old rsttletrsps will
be retired before very cold weather and
the public provided with comfortable,
essy-riding cars, good roadbed and
quick transportation.
Supt. Schnitger is anxious to get his
road over the island and bridges BY the
time the ferry is driven into winter quar-.
tiers. The bridge line, as is known, is tc
leave the main line at Nineteenth street
and follow Third avenue to the bridg,
and cars bound for Davenport will go this

Third avenue to Twentieth street, bu

street from that junction. This arrange
ment will furnish three different sets o
of cars down Second avenue and two up

Nasal Voices, Catsrrh and False

A prominent English woman says tn,
American women all have high, shrill, nasa
voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant twit

ing atmosphere. and the universal presence
Of catarrhal difaculties.
But why should 80 many Of our women

y quite impossible to account for Il except
on tho theory Of deranged stomach action
caused by imprudence in eating and By
want OF regular exercise.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere prevail
and end In cough and consumption, which
are promoted by mal-nutrition induced BY
deranged stomach action. The condition %
. modern one, one unknown to our ancestors
who prevented the catarrh, cold, cough and
consumption by abundant and regular use
o. what Is now known a. Warmers Log

Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, two old fashioned
standard remedies handed down from our
ancestors. and now exclusively put forth
under the strongest guarantees Of purity
and efficacy by the ld-famed makers Of
warmers safe cure. These two remedies
plentifully used as the spring and summer
seasons advance give positive assurance
Of freedom, both from catarrh and those

quences, pneumonia, lung troubles and con-
sumption, which SO generally and fatally
prevail among our people.

After using Warmers Log Cabin Cough and
