A Lively Car Horse.

Street Car No 10, on the Moline line,
coming from Moline this morning, left
the track at the corner of Twentieth
street, and when reaching Nineteenth
street the driver attempted to hitch the
horse to the other end in order to pull the
car back, when the horse became frac-
tious and got away, dashing down Sec
ond avenue as if the evil one was after
it. At Seventeenth street the traces be-
came entangled about the animals legs
and it went down. When regained its
feet it was tanned down title and no
trouble was experienced in getting it off
its high horse" The beasts legs were
badly bruised and bleeding; otherwise it
was uniniured.

IMPROVEMENTS.
New Building Enterprises Along sec
Ond Avenue and ON seventeenth
AfraAf

New BuiIdinE Enterprise Along see
Ond Avenue and ON Seventeenth
street.
The contemplated and heretofore de-
scribed Improvements by Mr.. John Beng
ston east OF his present building, give
promise of early contamination now
Mr.. Bengston's plan, after talking with
other land holders In the same block, Is
to remove the brick building adjoining
his handsome block on the east and erect
in its stead a brick of modern design, two
stories in height. but of such substantial
shape that more stores may be added as
circumstances warrant. Mr.. Zeigler and
Mrs. Krell, owning the ground east OF the
site of Mr.. Bengston's contemplated im~
provements. will also tear away the
structures now OCCUPYING them and put
fine looking buildings instead, and there
are prospects that Messrs. Thomas
Plummer and L. S. McCabe will
catch the enterprising spirit which is rum
ming through that neighborhood, and
make improvements such as will give the
block more creditable appearance.
In view Of these changes Mr.. Eckhart
of the Fair" Mrs. Greenawalt and MIR.
j. T. Dixon have arranged to move their
stores up Second avenue into the block
between Eighteenth and Nineteenth
streets.
Mr. John Aster has just completed the
erection of fine two story brick build
ing with dimensions of twenty zone by
forty two feet and located on his resi-
dent lot back of his bakery. On the first
door he has constructed Il newly patented |
double oven, so arranged as TO be con- |
tinuous in its service, and that baking |
may be done day and night, The second |
story is to be devoted wholly to store
looms for flour. The new arrangement
will be in readiness for operation soon,
md Mr.. Aster will then have facilities for
baking second to none in the west.
Mr.. FL. fireman. the butcher, has just
completed some substantial and COM
improvements in the front of
lis building on Third avenue and Seven>
zenith street.
Among the Improvements along Seven
eenth street south of Second avenue
here are none more noticeable than those
rought about by the remodeling of Gor-
on's hotel and restaurant, heretofore
escribed.
The Schafer house building on Second
venue and Seventeenth street has been

Editor Argus:
Rock ISLAND, June 16.-On my re-
turn to the city find that you have pre-
sented my name for reelection as a mem,
Der of the board of education. While
thanking you for the kind words in my
behalf. / wish to state that owing to the
fact of my time being fully occupied, /
am not a candidate for the position.
Very truly yours, JOHN W. WEIGH.
The positive refusal of Mr.. Welch to
again accept a membership on the board
of education, makes it necessary to select
some other gentleman to serve in his place.
Among the names mentioned, and which
seems to be tn : most favorably received,
is that of Mr.. Henry M. Abel. He is
one of our progressive and public spirited
and takes deep interest in ed
ucational matters. If he will consent to
run he is sure to receive cordial and
hearty support, the unanimity of which
will insure his election beyond doubt.

a social Event.

Last evening Miss Carrie Warner gave
an exceedingly pleasant reception at the
home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Warner on Moline avenue, in honor of
her friend, Miss Newell, of Springfield,
Mass, who is visiting in the city. Aboot
twenty-five couple were present. The
refreshments were delightful. The lawns
were beautifully illuminated with Japan
ese lanterns, and the affair proved most
happy one in every particular.
The Misses Battles gave very pleas
ant little social affair at their home on
Third avenue last evening. Several
couple were present, and enjoyment was
the order of the evening.
