THE FAVORITE GAME.
Numerous Hall Contests Occurring
saturday md Yesterday.

The first game in which the Daven-
ports have participated on their own
grounds since their admission to the
Western association, was played Yesterday
with the Des Moines high priced aggre
cation, which now leads in the western
league race, and while the Davenport
club is as yet incomplete and the services
of Scherer, of this city. were necessary to
fill the positions. the locals put up good
game both in the field and at the bat, and
when Manager Lucas has his team fully
organized he will make them all hustle.
Des Moines won the game on its
merits-by superior playing-but the
score in that teams favor would
not have been nearly SO large
as it was had not Pitcher Smith, of
that nine, been so considerate as to favor
his associates at every point possible.
His decisions were shamefully rank and
no matter how good ball Davenport
would have played he would have given
the game to his own club. Scherer did
not play his usual game and was disap-
pointment to his friends. The Des
Moines club is playing its best in order
to make sure of winning the pennant, for
failure in this regard means no club at
the Iowa capital next year. The battery
work of both teams was excellent. Klopf
and Snyder officiating for Davenport and

DEATH TO THE DOGS.
All Ours That Are Not Muzzled by
Tonight VIII share an Equal Fate
To,,.nr-axV

All Ours That Are Not Mnzxled by
Tonight VIII share an Equal Fate
Tomorrow.
A cur of most unpropitious coun>
tenance with rather snarling disposition
was laid low by well directed bullet
from Officer Cary's revolver this morn~
ing. The dog belonged to Mrs. Tobin,
living on Second avenue between TWEEN
ty>second and Twenty third streets and
had been msnifesting outward symptoms
of an internal disorder of some sort, hav>
ing snapped at several children
and other persons, and it was at the re-
quest of the owner that the officer de-
spatched the canine. Thus has the
slaughter begun that bids fair to send
many dog which is smiling the air of
freedom today, to his doom. This morn
ing Marshal Brennan took the rifle which
was purchased by the city year ago for
the use of the police in killing all I'M
checked dogs, to Locksmith Fiebig, and
gave orders to have it put in good repair
and in readiness for use tomorrow morn-
ing.
The mayors proclamation issued Sat
nrday afternoon and appearing else
where, gives the owners of dogs until
this evening to muzzle them and if this
is not done, the animal will be slain to-
| morrow. Marshal Brennan said this
morning that the police would not con-
sumo any unnecessary time in their mode
| OF procedure against unmuzzled dogs, and
that all ours seen tomorrow. the owners
of which have not complied with the
condition of the mayors proclamation,
would be summsrily disposed of.
The warning is sufficient to all, nd the
city executive has acted none too hastily
in his proclamation. There is no way of
ascertaining how many dogs were bitten
by the vicious brute which did so much
damage in the lower end of town last
Friday. That it had hydrophobis there
can be no doubt, and the only precaution
that can be taken now is to have all dogs
muzzled and to keep them so.
A large number of dog owners have
already secured muzzles, and all who
prize their dogs will do so by tonight
The fact that the dog has check does
not exempt him from slaughter If he is
not muzzied. and tomorrow the police
will commence their warfare.
One dog has done what has never been
known to occur 10 Rock Island before
committed suicide. 1t is not known
whether the rash animal heard Of the
doom of all unmuzzled dogs aud knit W
that his master was TOO poor or too stub
born to provide the protection demanded
by the law, or whether he was a republi.
can. AT any rate he took bis own life.
His master, living at the corner of Eighth
avenue and Nineteenth street, tied him TO
tree last night, fastening the chain to
collar about his neck. Some time dur
ing the night the dog Jumped over fence
near by and this morning was found
strangled to death on the opposite side.

That grand old patriot and soldier
statesman John NJ. Palmer, will in all
probability speak here sometime between
Sept. Is and 25 1t is the intention of
the county committee to book him at Mo-
line in the afternoon and at Rock Island
in the evening, or vice versa. The sim.
pie announcement of the next governors
coming should fire the democratic heart
to such an extent that the popular out
pouring on the occasion of his visit will
exceed anything of the kind ever wits
messed in the county of Rock Island

Brick Paving.

Alderman Frank III, City Attorney Nc
Entry and MIR. Fred Hass returned last
evening from Peoria and Chicago, where
they went to inspect systems OF sidewalks
and street paving. with view of having
an ordinance passed by the Rock Island
council providing for the proper con
structiCn of sidewalks and the paving of
streets. The original committee appointed
By Mayor Blasding was composed of
Aldermen Hampton, III and Simmons.
and it was at the request of that commits
tee that the gentlemen named went on
their investigating tour. In the city of
Peoria, which they found to be governed
by special charter a uniform system of
sidewalks and streets has been adopted,
the sidewalks being constructed of brick,
tile or stone and from six to sixteen feet
apart, The majority of the streets are
paved with brick set in end and the sys-
tem mas proved very satisfactory. In
Chicago they found the city working I'm
der the general charter just as Rock Isl
Island is, and there a uniform system of
sidewalks has been adopted, though it is
not up to Peoria, though, of course, the
ordinance provides that only brick, stone
or tile be permitted within the fire limits.
The committee propose to prepare and
urge the passage of an ordinance in Rock
Island which will provide for some uni
form system of sidewalks and better streets
by special assessment. 1t will doubtless
pass and be hailed with delight by all
classes of citizens. If there is anything
Rock Island should be ashamed of it, is its
streets and sidewalks.

have had An abundance of work, have
not had to arrest any one, and have not
very often had to say anything TO any
