By letter received from Henry Hinman to
his parents, written from Havana. Cuba. we
learn that he has been hospital yellow fever
patient the past four weeks. He was still in the
hospital at the time of writing. though rapidly
conval escing. and expected to be able to leave
that institution in short time.

Council held an adjourned meeting Friday
evening. to consider further the stone sidewalk
question. But as certain members of the munic-
ipal congress are now inclined to go slow in
the matter, the much talked of ordinance was
discussed in very gingerly manner. and the
end is apparently no nearer than at the begin
ming of the agitation. A committee was appoint
ed with instructions TO confer with dealers and
ascertain the lowest price on stone. brick. or
:" other good material other than wood" and re-
port at the next regular session.
In the meantime the man traps continue to
multiply. It can be truthfully said that the
walks in many parts of town are positively dan
gerous at night. Some action should be taken
at once toward ones. In our opinion. it
stone walks are ordered. they should be paid for
by general taxation. This would equalize the
burden more justly. and enable our citizens to
pay for the Improvement without any particular
hardship.
We recommend that Council thoroughly con-
slider this matter at its next session.
The Solicitor was instructed to if there
is any ordinance in force by which the petty
depredations and annoyances committed nightly
| by the young van ials who make loafng place
of the park. can be stopped. and if not, to pre-
pare one at once. This has got to be an intoler-
able nuisance, and it is high time for Council to
deal with the young rufians without GLOW es
| Ten days in Jail and good stiff fine will work
wonders in this matter.
We hope this matter and that of the sidewalks
will be satisfactorily disposed of at the next
sion,

We find we have much too large a
stock of Carpets to carry over. In Or
der to reduce it, we have decided to
make a horizontal reduction that
will move them at once.
We are not prone to indulgence in
sensational head lines or extravagant
boasting, but - at this time and place"
positively assert that we shall place
lower prices on Carpets than they were
ever before sold for in Portage County
"a bona fide cost basis.
"There is reason in all things" and
our reason for this sacrifice in price is
that we want the room for our Fall
stock.
Now is your opportunity. You will
scarcely have another such an one in
life time to buy elegant Floor Cover
ings untainted with profit to the seller,
1t will pay you to anticipate your
purchases in the line of Carpets.
We mention ia particular our large
and superb stock of Body and Tapes
try Brussels. The prices we have
marked on them will meet. your ap-
provai, and cause you TO willingly part
with your bottom dollar. if needs be,
in Carpet investment. Just think
of it: An elegant Brussels Carpet at
but trifle more cost than an Ingram.
Our Moquettes, Art Squares, Rugs
Mattipgs. Oil Cloths and LiDoieums
are all dumped in the cost hopper.
These prices necessitate strictly cash
sales. Respectfully,

Nights Concert-Notes.
The Congregational and Baptist Sum
day schools of Gslva, composed an ex-
cursion of $50 people who were brought
in on R. l. & P. special Of six coaches
this morning and taken direct to the
Tower by the D. & R I. Ry. company,
where the day is being spent.
Last evening being the occasion of the
regular semi weekly ladies' and child.
rens' concert the Tower was visited by a
great many people. including
some OF the most prOmi-
nent in the three cities. The concert by
Otto's band was greatly enjoyed. and la
ter there was vocal and instrumental
music in the parlors of the Inn on the
second floor. to which the new piano con-
tributed it's part.
Tomorrow occurs the next ladies' and
chiidren's concert, the hours being from
4:20 until 9. and Bleuer's band will furnish
the music.
President Louderback has leased of
Richard Mansill the three acres irlme-
diately west of the slide for period of
10 years. and they will be thrown
into the Tower for picnic parties. tables
and seats having been ordered for their
accommodation.
Park Policeman Cohen appears in his
uniform in conformity with park reguia-
tions. He is ornamental as we'll as use-
full. Chief of Police Miller. of the Rock
Island police. has generously offered to
fit Policem an Cohen out with the neces-
sary tools of office.
The grounds were beautifully illumin-
ated with Japanese lanterns last night.
The material has been ordered by
President Louderback for illuminating
the depot, summer pavilions and merry
go-round with incandcscent lights. A
string of incandescent beads will be
placed around the turrets of the Inn
which will produce a pretty fleet.
The grounds presented the appearance
of an ideal summer resort last evening.
While an Improvement is noticeable In
the appearance of the men on the Tower
line. nearly all of them now appearing in
regulation csps. there occasionally hobs
up one who does not believe in comply
ing with the requirements. This will
undoubtedly all be remedied on Supt.
HuntoGn's return.
The gratifying news comes from Supt.
Huntoon, of the Tower line, who is now
at Manitou, that change for the better
has taken place.
A sacred Sunday evening concert is be-
ing talked of in the near future.
A balloon race in which Miss Rosa
May will participate. and a tight rope
walking exhibition are among the com :
ing attractions at the Tower.
A special wire is to be run to the
Tower from the power house for lighting
purposes.
