Csmmissioner jackson Returns from
Chicago. Full OF Hope and Enthus.
iasm Over the Prospects.
Commissioner jackson, of Spencer
square. returned from Chicago last even
ing where he has been for the past two
days on business connected with Spencer
square. He was hopeful before he went
away that the square would be complete
by July 4th, but he is anxious that all
the ornaments for the square shall be
placed in position at the same time. This
may cause little delay. but not much
Mott & Co., of Chicago. who are the
leading manufacturers of fountains and
vases in the United States. and from
whom the fountain was bought, and
probably most of the things will be pur-
chased. especially the Harper vase, say
our square for its size. will be the hand
soonest in characterization in the state.
The Harper vase will be fully in keeps
ing with the fountain. AS an ornamental
vase it will attract hundreds to see it. No
public park in the state will have finer
vase. The drinking fountain is very
fine. Several of them have been placed in
some Of the leading hotels in the
country. With the supply of artesian wa
ter it will afford the thirsty individual
drink of pure cool water, and many will
be the appreciative thoughts and words of
satisfaction that will be uttered and felt
when the donors perhaps may have
passed out of mind. The settees and
vases furnished by our citizens will he in
keeping with the general character of the
other ornamentation. Mr.. Jackson says
there are a few prominent points of orna-
mentation yet to be supplied; that several
of our citizens have expressed desire to
aid, but as yet they have not determined
what to do; that it is very desirable to
know now what further we may expect.
for 1t would be very satisfactory To have
10 Rock Island one municipal enterprise
that we can regard as substantially com
plete.
Our citizens should remember that the
completion and characterization of Spencer
square is the first and only public work
since the location OF our city fifty years
ago. that has been attempted here. Sc
that our public spirited citizens have not
been very heavily burdened in matters OF
this kind. We hope when the work is
through that the commissioner will make
public report of what has been done,
that credit may be given where it is due,
for many persons have strongly and pub
licly agreed that this very work should be
done and the city council. has responded
well to the call, while many who have
urged it along have now held back and
seem to he perfectly willing to let their
neighbors do what they were chiefly in
strumentsl in starting. We hope when
the fountain Is put in everything else will
be supplied. The C., B. & @ r. r. has
indicated willingness to transport the
articles for the square from Chicago as a
donation.

The June Festival

The Moline Dispatch says of Mrs.
Choppers musical entertainment in that
city Tuesday night:
The June festival of song at Knowles
hall last evening proved to be one of the
most delightful entertainments ever given
by home talent in that hall. The comic
operetta of the flowers of the first part
was well rendered, each fair vocalist be-
ing endowed with sweet voice and a
face that looked exceedingly pretty in
the center of the bright corolla. The
cast of the operetta, consisted of four
teen persons, representing all the most
popular flowers as well as a gardener

the great fall meeting, meet
ing that in the expressed opinion of
such horsemen and breeders as Budd Doble,
Orrin Hickok, John Splan, Colonel J. w.
Co ely. e. j. Hamlin and others, eclipses all
harness events. not only in the sport offered,
but in its effect interests all. Having

Globe not being able to make the short turns
handily, went to break and there brought
back for another effort, and they got the word.
They are taken back at the turns. and are only
made in 2:l6%.
1t was then announced that within an hour
Belle Hamlin with Justina as mate. would be
driven by w. J. Andrews against the worlds
record. Promptly the great team was brought
out and after scoring several times to get the
Andrews nodded for the word. Mindful of
the turn. Andrews let them go easy
and to the quarter pole in 3z14. Now he leus
them have their heads and to the half in 1:0S1z,

menced, and with their tails floating
like banners in the breeze. another link is let
out the third quarter being done in 3S15 Sec

reached, as with flying feet they turn for
home. Without skip or wabble the mile is
done strong in 2:l5
Another worlds record stands to the credit
of the Terre Haute track. Three rousing
cheers were given for the great team, three
more for the superb driver. three more for
the breeder, e. j. Hamlin. and three
more for the Terre Haute track
and its President W. P. Ijams.
The second worlds record of the day and the
fifth of the week was the average time for 4S

THE comparative failure OF the present meeting
at Morris Park has started the tongues of horse
men. and any number of rumors about changes to
be made are flying about. The chief Of these is
that after the present meeting Secretary Koch
will sever his connection with the track. 1t is
said that young Morris has been responsible for
the handicappine and other features of the pres
ent meeting that have proved such dismal failures
and that he has interfered in every way possible
with Koch's duties.
For the last week there has been growing SEN
timent IN favor of developing long-distance run
ners at Princeton. The best means of accomplish
ing this object now as in the past is by the long
cross-country races of the various college hare
and hounds clubs. To this end the captains of last
years clubs have agreed to begin these races at
once and to organize all the class clubs into one
big university association. The juniors took the
first step to-day and d.sbanded. Captain Bren-
nan, '92 will meet the senior captain tomorrow
and make the necessary ARRANGEMENTS for a
university organization, after which the sopho-
mores and freshmen will fall into line with their
older college mates.

Conference.
MoHoNK LAKE, n. Y, October 10.-At
the session of the Indian Conference to- day
a letter was read from Miss Kate Field, who
has been making an official visit to the
Mission Indians of California. Miss Field
said the Indians are still the victims of the
greed of their white neighbors. Hon. Aus
tin Abbott, of New York. reported for the
Law Committee, giving the Indian the right
to sue and be sued. The report was dis
cussed by Phillip Garritt, of Philadelphia,
and Senator Dawes.
The Executive Committee, reporting the
platform OF Mohonk for 1890, reviews the
work done toward the civilization of the In
dian, and urges Congress to make such lib
eral ano increasing appropriations as may
be necessary to perfect this plan and carry
it into full operation; it calls for further ex-
tension OF education in all the industrial
arts essential to preparations for self-sup-
port; 1t protests against the removal OF capa-
BILE officials for party reasons; it urges
the churches to larger gifts and
greater zeal in their distinctive
Christian work among the Indians. The
Conference unanimously adopted a resolu-
tion, offered by General Whittlesey, urging
that money derived from the sale of sur
plus reservation be held as u fund to aid the
Indians on allotments in learning how to
support themselves.

npro,Ar TELEGRAM TO THE prsrArcH.,

wAsHIN GToN, PA, October 10.-The
West trial is almost concluded. Since the
examination of but one witness after the
opening of the morning session for the de-
fense, the counsel have been arguing the
case. The witness, William Crawford. tes-
titled that he had passed the Crouch home
on the night of the murder about o'clock, and
had seen light in the window. This the COM
monwealth attempted to show was the fire,
which at that time should have been dying out.
j. M. Patterson. Esq, addressed the jury at
some length for the defense, and was followed
by Ma jor vankirk. for the same side. The ar
guments we're able, and consisted briefly of
critical review of the evidence presented by
the prosecution. L. A. McCracken. Esq, ad-
dressed the jury for the Commonwealth be-
ginning at 2:30 and finishing at late hour
after they had reconvened from supper. His
speech was an able and logical argument, and
was said to be a masterpiece by many attorneys
and leading citizens.
The case Is now very serious. and interest is
unabated. Judge Stowe charged the Jury very
briefly, and court adjourned until 9 A. M. TO-
morrow. No verdict is expected until that
time.
