1t has been known for some time that
Aid. j. G. Adams contemplated resign

assembly from the Seventh ward in view
OF the fact that he expects to spend most
of his time during the winter and spring
In Chicago, where he has arranged to
study law. But it was not expected that
his resignation would come with the
sbIuptness with which it was presented
at lsst nights council meeting.
AID. Adams had made strong plea for
the improvement OF Seventh avenue east
OF Elm street. An ordinance had been
presented for doing the work by special
assessment in lieu of which Mr.. Adams
offered resolution that it be done by
general taxatior, accompanying the same
with an earnest and able speech The RESI-

sequent motion by MIR. Adams that the
city expend $500 on the improvement
failed of passage. while the special ASSESS

there is one thing for which Aid Adams
has worked long and faithfully, it is the

OUR PUBLIC BUILDING.
The Warren Lot Selected as the
Site.
Com missioner Av.ry's first Choic q
the Lot at sixteenth ana second
ana His Next. Ninete enth
aud Third.

The site for Rock Islands public build
ing has been selected.
The Warren lot at the southwest corner
OF Second avenue and Sixteenth street ia
Commissioner Avery's preference and the
hsrshall-Ferguson property at the north
west corner of Third and Nineteenth is
second choice. This information is con-
veyed BY the following Washington tele-
gram to today's Chicago Tribune:
The special treasury agent who in
spected the sites offered for the public
building at Rock Island, H., has recon-
mended as first choice the property on
the southwest corner Of Second avenue
and Sixteenth street, and as a second
choice that on the northwest corner of
Third avenue and Nineteenth street.
Either of the sites can be procured for
$4,000.
This may be reasonably expected TO
settle the question Of location of Rock
Islands public building. o. course the
selection is bound to cause much grstifi-
cation and no little disappointment
This was expected. It is the natural
outcome of every location the govern
ment makes of a public building. 1t Is
so IN every city where public building
is erected. 1t is not now probable that the
special commission heretofore believed
would be appointed will come to Rock
Island The next step will no doubt be
the purchase of the favored property, and
the acceptance of plans.
While rs above stated there will be
many disappointed. it is to be hoped nc
one in Rock Island will follow the very
bad example of disappointed property
holders .ong the Hennepin canal route
and cause delay in actual construction by
stirring up row with the government

1t is claimed that the Holstein Freisian
COW, Pauline Paul, has made 1858 pounds
l1i ounces Of butter in nine months 1t is
pity that she troubled herself about the
one-fourth Of an ounce. We prefer to
store it in memory without regard to the
fraction, calling it 964 pounds. If this is
a true record it beats any other that has
been made since man first began TO appro-
pirate to himself the natural sustenance Of
calves. 1t is claimed also that Pauline
Paul has beaten the seven-day records
making the largest yield Of butter on rec
ord for that time and for her age when
she was two years old, three years old, and
four years old.
The name of this COW. by the way, is

AGRICULTURAL.

The National Stockman says that prod
ucts are often hi chest in price when poor
est in quality, and that that is the situation at
present in regard to potatoes As indica
ted by this statement, the potato crop Of
1880 was generally poor--a fact that we
should have never known judging only
from the crop in Windham county, where
the yield was good and the quality Of the
potatoes excellent For the state at large,
however, rather low average yield was
reported by the department Of agriculture,
though only two states, Oregon and Wash
ington. were reported TO have a higher av-
eraEe Nermont's average was ~ bushels
per acre, while the average for the United
States was only ~ bushels, which was.
with two exceptions, the lowest yield ever
reported by the department.
