Model City TO Be Built,

A "City of the Future" such as Bel
lamy dreamed of, will be shown at the
Worlds fair of Paris, which is planned
for the year 1900.
The Inventions Nouvelles proposes a
departure from the usual toy arrange
ment of miniature models, Eiffel towers,
ETC., and advocates the erection of a city
on site sufficiently large to illustrate
practically all the most prominent new
inventions, as well as the fruits of mod
ern electro technique. The cost of erect
ing this future model city is to be COW
cred by renting out the houses. hotels,
ETC., as well as all the stores to tho ex-
hibitors. At the close Of the exposition
the entire site, with buildings, etc.. will
be utilized as the nucleus for q new
quarter of the city of Paris.-Philadel-

Beside the highway that leads from
Bridgton to Norway are two burial plots
upon opposite sides of the road Here
are inferred the Woodsum brothers, and
of course every one who passes that way
is anxious to know why there is this divi-

Woodsum brothers could never agree.
They disagreed in religion, politics and
every conceivable point that could be
brought up between them. On, their
disagreements in story form, as told by

AProspe rous Year.

The year just completed is the
most prosperous the company has
ever had. The demand for its full
line of goods has been very great.
Among other things made by the
company in large quantities are hay
leaders. Of which tits learned, since
November last there were manufac-
tured 1900. all of which. with the
exception of about 800, have been
sold. and as the having season is not
over for month or more. it is
thought the number will be too few
to fill orders yet to come.
While there are 10 or y other
companies. many of them very much
larger, older and stronger institu-
tons, manufacturing hay leaders, it
is modestly but emphatically assert
ed that twice as many Rock Island
leaders have been actually sold in
the last two years than all other
makes combined, which speaks well
for the energy and enterprise of the
company which make and sell them,
and for the merit of the loader itself.

THE PLOW WORKS.

An Important and Prosperous Industry of
which Rock Island is Proud.
For the first time in two years the
employees of the Rock Island Pillow
company have a vacation. Not even
have holidays been observed by this
institution during that time; and it
has frequently been necessary to
break the Fourth Commandment to
the end that the demands made upon
them for goods might be met. The
works closed Saturday evening for
inventory and repairs. Operations
will probably be resumed in linn
tied way about August 1st, but the
shops will not be started with full
force until the first Monday in Sep
TENDER.
s While many of our people know in
a general way that the business of
this company has grown very rapid
ly during the last five years, few
realize how phenomenal the growth
has been, and how much it has had
to do with the prosperity of the city.

SIDE TALK.
Matters Discussed at the Council Meeting
Last Night.

Matters Discussed at the Council Meeting
Last Night.
The session of the council last
night was not very lengthy one.
Mayor Medill announced one new
committee which had been over
looked at the beginning of his adj
ministration, as shown by the official
proceedings. He then appointed Dr.
George l.. Eyster, who has been the
efficient health commissioner for the
past four years, to succeed himself.
Aid. Kinner, from the fire and
light committee, reported in favor of
advertising for bids for furnishing
100 to 40 low lights and also bids
for furnishing 100 low lights and 40
tower lights. This was done, he
said, in order to give the council its
choice as to whether it wanted the
combination tower and low lights or
all low lights. The latter, he ex-
planned, were unsatisfactory in many
places, owing to the overhanging
trees, and he was of the opinion that
tower lights could be utilized with
economy in the out of town districts.
The matter was laid over until the
next meeting.
The ARGUS position on this matter
has been fully set forth heretofore
during the time the tower system
was in vogue here, and when they
were found impracticable as located.
The idea now is to use a combination
of low lights and towers. The low
lights to be used in the business
parts of the city and the towers To-
Gated in the out of town districts
where the shadows of high buildings,
etc, Will not enveloy things in the
| darkest gloom. In this way the OBJ
! lectionable features of the trees could
also be overcome.
Fourth Avenue Walks.
The next thing of Importance was
the matter of filing to grade the
sidewalks in front of Fourth avenue
property. The matter of whether or
not the work should be let by con-
tract, provoked some discussion,
Aid. Evans contending that it should
be let out to teamsters of the city in
stead of allowing outside contractors
to get it, or others who have num-
Der OF teams engaged in other lines
of work. 1t is needed by those at
home, he said, and they should have
! it. Aid. Corken said he had been
approached by teamsters who wanted
it let by contract so they could get
steady work, whereas, if the city did
it, the work would not be as regular.
1t was decided to secure bids on the
work. A report on the cost of the
proposed storm drain for the TWEEN
ty-fourtb street property was re-
eeived from City Engineer Darling
and placed on file.
