that Davis & CO., who have the pres

The Columbian Park Project

The property holders in the east
end of Rock Island, presented pc
tition praying the city to make a
park out of one block of the Column
bian grounds. The property will
soon be sold at auction, and as there
is a park in the west end of Rock Isl
and and the center, they ask for one
there. The matter was properly re-
ferred, and it is hoped and confident
ly expected the city will purchase
sufficient ground to give the people
of the east end the advantages they
seek in common with the other por-
tions of the city. 1t is the last op-
portunity to provide a park in the
east end, and the council should not
permit il to 90 by default.

a SMALL BLAZE.
Fire Breaks Out in No. school Building
Timely Discovery.

The alarm of fire turned in from
box II at about 40 this morning
called the department to Thirty
eighth street and Seventh avenue
where fire had been discovered in
the basement of School Building No.
Z; but before the department arrived
garden hose was brought into play
and the fire soon subdued with small
loss. The firemeu made their usual
good time, but the need of a COM
pany in the east end in the event of
a more extensive fire was again fully
shown.
The fire had started in some coal
no one knowing just when it started,
but most likely it originated during
the night. The only cause that can
be given is the excessive heat at
tached to the place where the coal
was, and which caused combustion.
There were 1924 bushels of coal
in the cellar, and it is a source of re-
joicing to know that the discovery
was made in time to avert the de
struction, or more serious damage Of
one of the handsomest school build
ings in the state.
Timely Discovery.
Yesterday afternoon George Vein
berger stepped on match at his
home, us Fourth street, and at the
time paid no attention to it. but later
on the odor OF burning cloth wasNde-
tected, and upon investigation it was
found that his sisters clothes which
were hanging in closet were all
ablaze. They were taken from the
wall, and what might have been a
serious blaze was narrowly averted
by stamping, water, etc.

SPEECHES AT NOTRE DAME
A Reception to Mgr. Satolli by the Con-
zaga Faculty and Students
Rev. Father DOlan's Address of We'll
Italian and English.

The reception rendered his eXcellency,
Monsignor Satolli, by the faculty and
students of Gonzaga College drew a large
audience to the hall of Notre Dame this
afternoon. Monsgnor Satolli was attended
by Monsignor Sbaretti and DR.. Papi.
The address of welcome was delivered by
Rev. Father NJ. C. Dolan. He said:
Less than short year ago over the
main, ploughed four centuries ago by the
Prov of one of his own countrymen, the
Christ-bearirg admiral, comes Leo and lands
on our shores in the person of his apostolic
delegate, Mgr. Francesca Satolli, Arch
bishop of Lepanto. Honored by the choice
Of Christ's vicar to fill this exalted posi-
ton by his lofty character and distin-
guished gifts and attachments he adds
fresh honor to the position. Our holy
father in selecting him as substitute has
made no rash venture. With proud, faith
erly gaze he has followed the onward and
upward course of his delegate from
scholarly seclusion to the Perugian pro-
fesslonal chair so long, not only occupied,
but filled by him and to that loftier seat of
wisdom. where, surrounded by propaganda's
polyglot students, he poured out unto the
shaking of their thirst for sacred science
the full and perennial stream of scholastic
theology. Nowhere is authority more
deeply revered and more promptly obeyed
than in this youthful land, where it is so
clear to the national intelligence that the
freedom we cherish and it's accompanying
blessings can alone be conserved even as
they have been won by laws wisely
framed and faithfully enforced.
The faculty and students of GonZaga
college bid you welcome to this locality,
ana pray that you may be well and happy
in your new home They are not unaware
OF the onerous and delicate nature of the
duties you are called upon to perform nor
the sacrifices entailed by separation from
country, home, friends and the illustrious
pontin, by whose admiration and affection
you are favored, and they pray that God of
all consolation may reward you for these
and all sacrifices which your beneficent
presence in our country requires of you.

ease. The main evolution of this drill is the
street square" This is formed by each
company taking one side. with the officers
In the center. The skirmishers, who were
distinguished today by a handkerchief tied
on the left arm. marched in the TANKS, out
SIDE or the square. Some of them had
trouble at first finding out just what was
expected of them, and were inclined to be-
come mixed up with the rest Of the organ
ization. But little patience overcame this
and by the time that Thomas Circle was
reached things were going very smoothly.
By this time two or three hundred rioters
had been slain in their tracks, and all the
streets leading into the avenue had been
swept by the raking fire that was poured
down them. At Scott Circle the battalion
wheeled into column and went down 10th
street a short distance, to wheel into bat
talon line for brief rest. Then the COL
umn of companies was formed again, and
the line OF march was resumed up 1eth
street. with the company that had been in
the rear on Massachusetts, avenue now in
the front.
Terrific Execution on 18th Street.
Terrific execution was done on 18th
street. The skirmishers were learning what
they were there for. and the companies had
found out that the only way to obey or
ders is to do it at once. So when the or
der to fire was given every man pumped
fictitious lead down the street that he was
facing with deadly effect. At the corner Of
Madison street the square was formed on
the theory that the mob had gathered on
every side. So the entire battalion went to
work and laid low whole ranks OF rioters.
The sharpshooters were thrown out on the
banks at the eastern junction of the side
street and picked Oft scores of fighters who
were thought to have stationed themselves
on the housetops.
So they went on up that beautiful street,
getting more and more proficient with their
100, 200 3Oo-yard sights, until there were
signs of WEAKNESS and hunger for turkey
visible in the ranks. Then the colonel
grew merciful, and just before the stand
pipe at the head Of the hill was reached he
gave the order to turn back. and the bat
TALON went shooting and staying down to
the armory again.
There was one section Of the order that
was not strictly observed. This reads as
follows: -combatant stan officers, COL
ors and color guard, musicians. uninstruct-
ed recruits, convalescents, and a suitable
detail for guard duty will be designated to
remain in the armory."
There were few enough of able-bodied
and available men to report for duty, SO
there was no guard left at either armory.
der the charge of these non-combatants
while the regiments were out staying riot
ers, were reposing under the sole care of
a lock. There were no "convalescents" to
be noted, and the ''uninstructed recruits
really seemed to have gone out with each
command in large numbers.
