Kicker DOYLE.

In its Captain Doyle the Peoria bal
club has the most inveterate and most
unreasonable kicker in America. There
seems to be a sort OF internal connection
between his jaw and his heel and he
can't open his mouth without sending
forth a kick. If he'd happen to knock
the ball over the fence for home run
he'd abuse the umpire because he would
not allow him to keep on running around
the bases and registering home run
every time until the sphere was returned
to the field. He has thoroughly dis
gusted the audiences in every city in the
inter state league and is despised in all
of them, he seems to be placing himself
in the same attitude before the fair.
minded people of Peoria Speaking of
Mondays game there. the Transcript has
this:
Doyle was fined $40 and taken from
the field in the last half of the eighth
inning. The umpire had just had a lit
tie tilt with ME Boy Slrothers. when
Doyle Clipped in and was requested by
MIR. Lewis to desist, which he refused tn
do, whereupOn fine of $40 was assessed
against him and the warning given that
IL he persisted in his talk he would he re-
moved from the field. Doyle retorted by
telling the umpire To ''shut up, and 60
on with the game, when time was called
and the demand made for substitute,
which was finally acceded 10 by Bartson
going to center. Hoffman taking Doyle's
place and the latter going to the bench.
This Is the first instance of the kind re
corded here this season, but the action Of
Lewis is universally commended.

McGuirk's Ambition.

One of the best nominations for second

times plays part as important as either

Pooling the EnEineer-

A system Of pooling engineers, which
will eventually be extended to the short

z at noon Sunday. The main reason
that has impelled the company to adopt
pooling Is to get more work out of the
engines IN busy times with less fatigue
10 the enginemen. AS it is At present. a
crew has particular locomotive. and in
busy seasons this locomotive may have TO
make two or three successive trips. The
enginemen, after the fatigue of the first
trip, are in no condition to stand the fa-
tigue Of the others. They become tired
out, and the liability to accident is thus
the greater. An official Of the road. in
speaking of this. says that when he ran

A Little Letter From Secretary Me-
dIu, or the Improvement Associa-
tion---what HAS Been Done.
Secretary T. ]. Medill. OF the Rock isis
and Citizens Improvement association.
has addressed a circular letter to the
members Of that body on the opening OF
the second year of its useful existence.
He says:
When we consider the great amount Of
good our association has been the means
of causing. in the shape of the paving OF
Second aven ne. the wonderful sidewalk
improvements. the adoption Of the specs
ial assessment and special taxation ordi-
nance. and the appropriation Of $500
for the purpose Of besutifying Union
square, also the large amount Of prospec>
tive improvements. such as free bridges
over Rock river, the viaduct on Twenty
fourth street at the end Of the Rock ISL
and bridge, the Union depot. the Gus tom
house and many others we can justly feel
that our efforts have not been in vain.
Every member of the association well
knows that IL II had not been for the
Improvement association during the last
year. we would have had no permanent
improvements.
We consider what has been done mere
Iva beginning. and with proper support
from our citizens, and well directed ef.
for on the part OF the associa.
ton. we can place Rock Island for
ward in the rank of cities, to where Its
location warrants It,
But we must have assistance, and ears
nestly hope that you will help us in
crease the membership OF the association
by explaining its objects to others. and
instead of decreasing the membership,
We will then increase it.
This organization has become such a
factor in the city's growth and upbuildN
ing, working in harmony and conformity
with the common council, and bearing
the respect and good will of the munich
pal Legislators, that the latest thing that
has been heard against 1t is a remark on
the part OF former member that he did
not propose to continue his membership
any longer, because the association was
doing too much, and pushing the town
ahead. and so notwithstanding things that
the town would not know its former self.
That kind Of member is better out of
the association than in it. There is no
room anywhere in Rock Island for
a person who can't keep out of the
way OF its advancement and it is be-
cause the Improvement association is
going to keep things turning over that
Its membership will increase. rather than
decreases II should.
1t is fact that will be of interest to
the members of the association that sat
isfsctory arrangements have been made
with Secretary T. J. Medil by which he
remains in the same capacity another

Piles Methodist alliance, the OXFORD

League. the Young Peoples Methods
Union, and the Young Peoples Episcopa

Each society and its features were duly
presented, spirit of mutual concession
was shown. and after thorough discus
sion and earnest prayer. it was unani-
mously resolved that all existing socie
ties be merged into one new society fol
the entire church. to be called the Ep

The object of the Epworth League i:
to promote an earnest. intelligent, prac

people of our church, to aid them in
constant growth in grace. and in the al
tsinment of purity of heart.
