at 80 O'Clock, where serenade selection
was played and then 10 stirring airs the
musicians led he way through the busi>
ness streets 10 Armory hall. Owing
however, to The fact that not all the

voted therefore to concert by the band.
While there yet remains considerable
WORK to be done on many of the booths,

the inscription Hand in Hand with Pro-
gress We March to Success" is displayed.

fancy presided over by Mesdames L. E
Englin and Joseph Gretegut and Miss
Louise Englin, the soda and refreshments

to be misunderstood. The donations to

displayed about the room.

are:
President-T A Fender.
Vice President-George Barnes.

MR.. GEST WANTS DAMAGES.

He Asks the Courts to Force the CITY
to Pay Him $4,000 Because of the
second Avenue Paying Improve.
ment.
Ex-Congressman W. II. Gest has sued
the city of Rock Island for 50 600.
Messrs. Kenworthy and Sturgeon as at
torneys for the plaintiff have filed the
papers in the circuit clerks Office for the
SO. 900 damage suit against the city of
Rock Island for alleged damages to MI
Gest's property at the corner of Second
avenue and Twelfth street. by reason of
the change in grade made in connection
with the permanent street Improvements
in the matter of paving inaugurated by
the city council on this and other thorough
fares.
Mr.. Gest, as is known, has failed to
bring his property to the newly estab-
lished grade, enjoying distinction single
to himself among the Second avenue
property holders. in this respect, fact
no mere clearly demonstrated than in the
necessity which the council realized of
placing dznger signals about the walk in
front of the premises at night.
The reason of Mr. Gest's refusal to
comply with the conditions of the ordi-
nance changing the grade is doubtless
thus explained by his belief that his
property has been more heavily dam
aged than that of other property holders.

.AURoRA.-On Saturday night last we were
treated to one of Natures finest magnetic
displays. At about 1890 o'clock it was mag
nifcent: there were two wholly different
phenomena, the fleecy. fog-like waves, fol-
lowing each other rapidly all emanating from
an arch Of white light resting on the dark
base and the long, plumeike rays reaching
nearly to the zenith, changing in form but
not rapidly. In the region of the Great Dip
per the light was red and at one time crin,-
son. 1t was one of the most interesting
aurora's that we have ever witnessed.
1t may be noted that great disturbances IN
the sun are again apparent by the spots on
Its surface: 1t is now accepted as rule that
great disturbances In the sun are followed by
magnetic or electrical displays in our atmos-
phere. 1t seems wonderful that impulses
may be conveyed more than ninety millions
of miles, yet 1t is no more marvellous than the
transmission Of Fight and heat across the
same iinmC.ge space.
