The Teachers' Institute.

The attendance at the opening exer-

ing. although much larger than that of the
two preceding morning, Is still small
However, the hardness on the part of
some is excusable on account of the long
distance they are compelled to come.
Prof. Ray has not yet made his ap.
pearsnce, but it is hoped he will be able
to be here in a day or two. This vacan,
cy in the list of instructors is being filed
by Profs. Bishop, of Rock Island, and
Griffith, of Moline. The class in primary
reading and writing methods is very in
teresting, and many new and ingenious
methods were shown by Prof. Felmley,
the instructor, by which the little ones
may be interested in school work.
Prof. Rays class in primary English,
which is for the present in charge OF
Prof. Griffith. is instructed in the way in
which the primary scholar should be
taught English. 1t was shown that the
scholar should be taught first, how 10
see, or in other words to observe; second.
ly, how TO talk, and lastly how to write
The afternoon session which is given
up to academic study, had to be omitted
this afternoon on account of the inability
of the instructor, Mr.. Bishop, to btain
the necessary material for class work.

Yesterday. A well dressed stranger
called at the residence of Joseph Hun

stairs which he was very much pleased
with. He decided to board there. He
ate dinner there, and Immediately after
went to his room, which by the way, was
next to room occupied by one of MIR.
Huntoon's daughters. He remained up
stairs about half an hour. then came
down and departed. In the evening he
failed TO put in an appearance. The
young lady whose room was next to the
one he stranger decided to oc>
cupy, went to her room and soon dis.
covered that her gold watch and chain
and $50 in money had been taken from
her bureau. The stranger had burglarized
her room shortly after dinner and then
left the city.

NOT JUST THE PROPER THING

A Rather Inappropriate Emblem said
to be In the steepIe OF the First N.
Z. Church-..somewhat Amusing
Circumstances.
Those who are engaged in the task of
removing SO much of the old First NJ. E.
church building at the corner of Fifth
avenue and Nineteenth street. as is nec-
esssry to make way for the elegant new
edifice. may make surprising discovery
about the time they are completing their
task, and the result may be considerable
of a shock to members of the church,
some of whom have worshipped in it for
nearly thirty-five years. In order to ex-
plain what the workmen may, if reports
be true. find, a bit of the church's histo-
~ must be related.
When the present building was erected
in 1855, Mr.. Henry Housman, of this
city, who. with his wife, was at that time
one of the most devoted members, not
only contributed considerable cash
money, but donated the copper ball and
other ornaments on the top of the stee-
pie, which has since grown familiar
to everybody in Rock Island.
Some years after the church had
been entirely completed and occupied
Mr.. Housman was shocked-and mortified
to learn from one of his men that two of
his hands to whom he had entrusted the
work of putting up the steeple ornaments,
had played very bad trick upon him.
and this was how they did it. Before
putting on the large copper ball they Sc
cured good sized flask of Mononga-
hela whisky. wrapped it carefully in sew
eral newspapers and enclosed it in the
copper ball, which was then carefully and
firmly fastened in place on the top most
point of the church's steeple. Mr.. Fred
Hass, afterward one of the most success
full business men in the city and now one
of our weslthiest and best known citizens,
was then serving an apprenticeship under
Mr.. Housman and he having learned of the
mischievous caper of the men, informed
Mr.. Housman of it. The latter was of
course indignant and very angry. but it was
too late to mend the trouble, and SO he
adopted as the best course entire silence
on the subject, and did not reveal his
knowledge of the fact until recently,
when he learned the church was to be
removed, when he informed Mr.. Cue of
the circumstances. requesting him that
when that steeple was removed, he
wanted to look for the bottle of whisky
on its top and to see whether or not his
men really did do such trick, or
whether they were simply attempting to
annoy him by sending such a message
thorugh the boy, Fred Hass.
Since the original erection of the
church, MIR. Housmsn has spent several
years west, and has now come back to
Rock Island. Both the men who put up
the copper ball are now dead, so that
only actual investigation will reveal
whether the flask is in 1t or not. The
search for it will be awaited with interest.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local application, as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflaned con-
dition of the mucus lining of the Eustach-
ian tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
hammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inf1smed condi-
ton of the mucus surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that we can not cure by taking Halls

there is no harm in mixing my

you are the worst mistaken man

ever lived who erases the name Of a
single candidate from the ticket hon

then have we done as great an in
justice to our party's cause as though

THE WELL.

Monday night of this week the
city Gouncil proceeded to open the
bids for the sinking of an artesian
well at this point. There were five
bids in all, at least five firms sent
applications, though a number Of
them did not resemble bids at all.
Those bidding were, St. Paul Arte-
sian Well Co., 1915 per foot for
first 1900 feet; knight, Of Ellen
dale, said in his bid that he would
drill for $500 per foot, but failed to
say whether he would drill over a
thousand feet for that price; Gray
Bros. Of Milwaukee bid $3.75 per
foot for 1st 1900 feet and $4.75 for
any greater depth; Bolles Bros, of
Aberdeen, bid $3.19 per foot and
would guarantee nothing; Swan
Bros, Of Andover, put in just such
a bid as the Counsil expected from
all bidders, that is, the free per foot
with water guarantee, and without
guarantee the bid was, eve will
drill you wei! for $500 per foot.
for first 1900 feet for $500 without
guarantee, or for 1925 per foot and
guatantee we'll with 50lb. pressure
at least to square inch, and in addi-
tion to this they would put in an
anti hose clogging section at the
bottom Of the we'll and forty feet
upwards, thereby making it impossi-
bic for the hose to clog from rock or
sand at critical time. Every men,
Der of the Council was in favor of
the Swan bid and so expressed it,
butin view of the absence of Mayor
Marshall from the city, it was
agreed to lay the matter for final
action over until the Mayor was
present, though undoubtedly Swan
Bros. will receive the contract.
