The sewer question Is attracting
some attention and the idea of having a
| part of the second street nam only ten
inches in diameter is causing rIdicule
among those who are looking TO the fu-
| ture instead of the present. The court
| house, Catholic college and Normal
school will each require large connect
ing pipes, and il is feared that the con-
| nections will be larger than the mains.
During sudden and heavy storms the
surface water is likely to choke up the
pipe. In laying the pipe It has also
been suggested that the cement works
be given sufficient notice to have time to
make the pipes with socket joints, so as
to be joined together more securely and
prevent the escape of the deadly sewer
gas. These suggestions seem reasona-
bic, and as long as the sewer is expect
ed To last generation or more 1t would
be the wisest policy TO construct it I'M
der the expectation of draining city OF
$4,000 TO $4,000 people.
There are various ways of doing bust
ness in this world. Some men never pay
a debt until a bill is presented, and then
they pay promptly, good naturedly and
with no regrets. There are others who,
if presented with a bill, no matter Of how
long standing, are sure TO get mad. They
consider 1t downright insult that they
should be thus treated, and the "dun,"
as they call it, is reluctantly paid after
many protests. Others there are who
never pay and never feel insulted i'll
asked to settle bill. The various class |
es have ever existed and probably will |
always continue to exist till time is no
more. How to please these different
kind of people has been the great alb
sorbing thought of business men for past
The only correct solution
of this much vexed question that has
been arrived at, we believe, is the one
in common use among the most sue
cessful business men, and that is TO pre-
sent bills when due and take the conse-
luemces. If customers are lost by that
means new ones will take their places.
No one ought to be offended for having
a just bill presented to him for payment,
md by far the great majority of the peo-
pie so consider it.-Er.

THE SEWER.

The new Second street sewer will be
composed of the following sizes of pipe
south of Washington street. Two blocks
of "a inch; two blocks of % inch; one
block each of 20, Is, 10, II, and 10 inch
pipe. North of Washington street there
will be one block each of Is, IL, 10 and
15 inch pipe. There will also be one
| flush tank, % catch basins and 81 man
holes. The house connections, ETC., will
require 5000 feet of six inch pipe and
,080 feet of eight inch pipe. Unless the
quicksand and water should interfere
too much, the cost of the pipe will be
about one-half of the total cost of the
sewer. Mankato cement pipe is to be
taken in preference to any other, all
things being equal. Under the present
conditions this pipe will last for great
many years. Some complaint is being
made by those of our citizens who are
acquainted with the size of pipe propos-
ed to be used. They say that as what is |
being done now is to last for so long it |
would be much better policy to make |
the size of the pipe larger. This Second |
street sewer is TO be the main sewer ly- |
ing north and south, and is larger than |
any of the others. II is held that the /
ten and twelve inch pipe will be hardly |
half large enough, and that the connec-
tons from the large pubic buildings To-
Gated on Fifth street viii be larger than
this main pipe. Said one of our promi-
nent capitalists to-day: SIT is an out
rage that the sewer is to be no larger in
size., The cost of increasing the size of |
the pipe will be comparatively trifling.
We should look to the future when we
make our public works. am in favor
OF all the improvements that are requir-
ed. and | cheerfully paid several hun
dred dollars as special sewe assessments
in Duluth, because felt that the size
was such as would serve the city for all
time to come. If the people knew how
small their Second street sewer is to be,
they would raise any amount of opposi-
ton to 1t Pipe can be obtained, hav-
ing diameter of forty inches or more.

Misfortune Overtakes the Fenner 4
Crane All-Star COmpany---To Dis
band and why.
The Fenner & Crane All>Star Comedy
company. which has been giving such
clever entertainments at Harper's theatre
during the past week. will cease to exist
after the performance at Hsrper's theatre
tonight. Encouragement, is the cause
of the misfortune. The company
is very expensive one. being
possessed of some of the best
dramatic talent on the road, but it
has been doing fair bushes, and
with good management the company
would unquestionably have pulled
through. Fenner. the senior member of
the firm, who has looked after the book
ing and finances is chiefly to blame,
Crane the junior partner being an actor
who devotes his time to the stage.
"Fenner & Crane are totally irrespon-
sible," remarked Rob. V. Ferguson. the
bright and original comedian who has
been the life of the company. this morn
ing. They started us out six weeks ago
with representations that there was lots
of money on hand and with the promise
that no matter how bad business was,
salaries would be paid. Fenner left the
company in Bloomington last week for
Chicago, without word to the members
OF the company. but he sent kilograms
saying he would be in Rock Island with
the salaries Monday night The Blooms
ington house-rent was left unpaid, and
the members of the company were obliged
to reach Rock Island on their own re-
sources. Fenner did not keep his promise
about coming to Rock Island, but sent
his son-for what purpose or reason the
company does not know. Mr.. Crane is
reticent and gives us no satisfaction. To-
night after the show the company will
disbaDd. 1t is simply a case of
Disintegration,
No expostulaton;
Complete cessation,
Donation
Mr.. Ferguson further said the sincere
thanks of the company were due Mana
ger Steel for courtesies and opportunities
given the company.
The company is not exactly stranded
as mas been whispered about hotel corners
for day or two. Business. though
poor at the opening. has increased during
the week. and the actors simply mean tC
quit because their salaries are not paid
1t is the best popular price company thai
has ever played in Rock Island. and its
collapse is to be regretted.
The company appears tonight in the
new play as had been originally planned
and will give away the present sdver-
tised.
