Keeping Its Promises With q Ven
EeaB ce.

&CohC &C.
Much indignation and surprise is ex-
pressed on account Of the disposition of
the Postal Telegraph company to suspend
its night Office here. At the time the
Moline city council was hampering the
cOmpany's entrance into that city and en-,
deavoring to make a provision in the
ordinances for night office. the Postal
representatives here gave our citizens the
assurance that if allowed to come into the
city it would give Rock Island a per,
manent night service, without any provi-
slonsstipulating the same. Rock Island
gave the company its gateway into the
tri cities, and for this the company recip-
rocated tby giving Davenport a service
superior in every respect to Rock
Island from the first. but Rock ISL
and made no objection as long
as the company fulfilled its obligations.
To the Gable company belongs, to be
sure. the credit of getting from the West
ern Union the service hat the public de-
served, but as it followed the Cable in
lettering the service, it will no doubt do
the same in the retrograde movement the
Cable has now adopted.
Rock Island asks no favors or accom-
modations of the Cable company. 1t
merely wants it to verify the promises it
made to the city council when it came in
here, that it would give the city perma-
nent night office and irst-class service
generally. Let the company make an
effort to secure business and give SER
vice that will invite it,snd it will find that
Rock Island will sustain it.

New capes of the very latest Partisan

cheviots, Bedfords, broadcloths, beav-

REFERS and the English top coats are
great favorites in the higher cost
goods, while the blazers, capes and

grades ranging away down to almost
nothing, yet well made, with shape and
fit both perfect.
Our misses and children's line of

the Duke of Buckingham; by others
that he was "a twin brother of Louis

thus disposed of to avoid dispute

po.ms have been written about him,
and the elder Dumas built up IA whole
romance on the subject. Finally u
