Council Considerations.

Tonight the new council will get down
to work in earnest, and one of the first
matters to come up for disposition will
be the street paving oroJect-that is the
deciding upon the material to be used.
Another important matter to be consid-
cred will be the Improvement association
plans for the improvement of Union
square and making it a source of pride
to the city instead of an eyesore. Arch.
itect Schureman's plans furnished the
identifying committee of the improve
ment association have been described
fully in the ARGUS, and the cost of which
will not exceed S3,674. The identifying
committee of the association has sue
ceeded in arranging with Supt. Schnitger
Of the Holmes syndicate for the free use
of the Union line from Seventh avenue
avenue and ThIrtieth street for hauling
dirt, the street car company to further
more furnish trucks on which fiat cars
may be built gratis. In this way the
city may very readily kill two birds
with one stone:' cut down the Thirtieth
street hill and materially reduce the ex-
pehse of filling. which is the heaviest
item in Mr. Schureman's Misunderstanding
81, 100.
The council should order Second ave-
nue. paved and the Union square inn
provements made.

namented the booth of the ladies' fancy
work committee at the May festival, and
were SO greatly admired by all who saw
them. were presented to Mrs. G.. W. Cue
and Mrs II. G. cleveland. The one

LOST In THE LAST.
The Rock Islands Drop to Mon
mouth.
The Hon Team Lets Victory slip
From it's Clutches at the Last MO-
ment..-Y Game.

A fair sized crowd gathered at the
Rock Island ball park yesterday after
noon and witnessed the Monmouth semi-
professional ball team defeat the Rock
Island club. 1t was clear case of vice
tory snstched out of defeat, the home
nine sufftring in consequence Of the driz-
cling rain that came up, as the visitors
went to the bat in the last half of the last
inning. and whose opportune hits though
none of them safe, were muffed by the
Rock Island felders in consequence Of
the slippery condition of the ball. Thus
five runs were scored and q once fairly
lost and entirely unearned victory
achieved. The game from the start was
characterized by numerous errors on both
sides, Deasley, the released short stop Of
the Davenports, appearing on second
for the Monmouths and Distinguishing
himself by two costly errors.
The Rock Islands are the better nine
and with fair show would have won
handsomely.
Following is the complete score:

The Gerp.an ..xi.r, ),


The ssNixy'' of Germany has by some been
supposed traceable to ''Old Nick but this is
not probable. since St. Nicholas has been the
patron saint of sailors for many centuries
1t was during the time Of the crusades that a
vessel on the way to the Holy Land was in
great peril, and st. Nicholas assuaged a tenn
pest by his prayers Since then he has been
supposed to be the protector of mariners,
even as Neptune was in ancient times, and in
most Roman Catholic countries you will find,
in seaport towns churches dedicated to St
Nicholas, to which sailors resort to return
thanks for preservation at sea and 10 make
votive offerings

form of the old Morse water god, Mike. You

once, however, much feared by the fisher
men. 1t was the same spirit which appears
as the Kelpie in Scotland-a water demon

There was a river goddess in Germany.
whose temple stood at Magdeburg, of whom
legend exists that she also once visited
earth and went to market In Christian cos
tune, where she was detected by a continual
dripping of water from the corner of her

Mikes may be described as the descendants
of the naiads of ancient times and as some
what resembling the Russian Rusalkas. of
which the peasantry live in much dread.
A Russian peasant, it is said, is SO afraid of
the water spirits that he will not battle with

these water spirits are supposed to be the

A Little Wanderer.

Saturday afternoon Jimmie, the seven
year old son of Thomas Green, living at
the corner of Twenty-fourth street and
Ninth avenue, went out into the woods
back of the city to look for the cows.
Not finding the COW in the accustomed
neighborhood the boy wandered on past
the watch tower and out on the Rock
river road fully twelve miles from home
when he stopped at the Sparks farm for
a drink and was taken in for the night.
His parents were naturally greatly
alarmed at his failure to return home,
and yesterday morning Mr.. Green in
company with Mr.. Daniel DAILY, went out
on q search for the boy and found him at
the Sparks farm. He was somewhat
footsore but not at all worried or home
sick. The prodigal sons welcome was
not much more joyous than was that
boys when he got back home.

G. L. Eys,er, City Marshal Phil Miller
and Alderman Chas. Evans made a visit
to the Rock Island sbattoir, which has
been lying die pending the result Of the
litigation INTO which the butchers of
Rock Island were shamefully led by one
spiteful cit zen. The Moline committee
was shown through the abattoir, inspect
ing it thoroughly, and all. the butchers
included, expressed their thorough appro-
val of it, and one of the butchers stated
that he was surprised that there should
be any objection to it, and that the Mo-
line butchers would be only too glad to
patronize such an institution were they
given opportunity to do SO.
The Moline city council is considering
the propriety of establishing an abattoir
at the request of the butchers of that city
and will doubtless do so on similar plan
with the one built here. There is no ele.
ment there that is likely to invite rebel-
lion against measures looking to the pre-
servation OF the highest sanitary welfare
of the people.
