united labor operates, that an injury
to one is the concern of all. Labor's
interests are conferred about the
proposition to build a new court
house. Labor is to reap the direct
benefits. Realizing this. the Fri
City Labor Congress embracing all
the trade unions in the three cities.
recently endorsed the proposition and
urged its members to sustain it, only
STIMULATING that Rock Island county
labor be employed in the construc-
ton. The Rock Island Industrial
Home association adopted the same
course, and last evening the Paint
ers' and Decorators Union, No. ISL,
adopted a series of resolutions en-
dorsing the proposition, calling on
all union men to vote for it in the in
terests of labor, and commencing it
to the attention of the labor classes.
Labor fully appreciates the boom
the new court house is to give all
classes of tradesmen, and the boon it
will prove to the entire county. A
boon to us all the new court house
is bound to be. Let us build it.

Worthy Couple
The hosts of friends Of the con.
tracing couple all over the city will
offer their congratulations in their
Joy. Mr.. Sweeney is so we'll known
that remarks of an Introductory ma
ture would be entirely superfluous.
OF his wife, the same may be said.
A niece of the former Mrs. Sweeney,
her home was for IL years in the
household over which she has now by
sacred ordinance been called to pre-
side. 1t was in these years while
one of the family that the respect
was formed between the two which
in the course of events ripened into
that affectionate regard one for the
other, which brought today such
happy contamination.

Amusements

One of the most novel and striking
scenes of I'm Old Kentucky" the
play which created more talk than
any other last season, is the pad
dock at the Lexington track. Here
are seen the horses, saddled and
bridled, the jockeys in their bright
colors preparing for the race. The
stable boys hurrying to and fro TAX
ing orders from the trainers, the
touts, bettors and owners. all ex-
cited and anxious about the great
event. Through the gate out of
which the champing horses go to
take their places at the post can be
seen the big grand stand crowded
with spectators awaiting in excited
expectancy the result of the great
contest. A vast amount of special
scenery is carried for this interesting
American play. and it is described as
a very elaborate scenic production.
as well rs an admirable play, which
is to be seen at Harpcr's theatre this
evening.

STRANGE FIND.

Night.


Night.
While seining for minnows at the
foot of Nineteenth street last evening,
George Lindquist and f. Swain
pulled in a bundle of stuff which
may lead to the discovery of Mis-
sissippi river tragedy. Mr.. Swain.
upon opening the bundle, found it
contained a lot of women's clothing.
The stuff was turned over to the po-
lice. 1t was afterwards discovered
that in the bundle was also a letter
dated at Davenport. Oct. IS. 1894.

who does not view with pride the at
tractive beauties of Garnsey square?
Is there a citizen in any portion of
the city who does not rejoice to
know that we have such an insti-
tuition in our midst with such mag
nificent buildings as Augustana COL
lege? Yet all these objects of orna-
ment, of influence for good and de-
velOpment of the higher ms
tincts of human nature, haye
come from the united energy
of our people without regard
to selfish motives. They are the out
growth of a patriotic spirit which.
locally speaking, finds a synonym in
public spirit. Home pride is essen
tial to healthy. successful advance
ment. Public buildings are the re.
Election of public pride-of the dispo-
sition of the people. The govern
ment, whether national, state or
local, should set the pace for individ-
ual enterprise. The individual in
return should not be more devoted to
improving and identifying his per-
sonal possessions than he should be
in contributing to the improvement
and adornment of that which repre-
sents him as citizen of the republic.
Is there a nation on the face of the
earth which does not do all in it's
power to make magnificent in all
that pertains to the structures which
represent the seat of government
Is there a state that spares energy or
expense to improve its state build
ings? Is there a county that would
fail to carry out these same
principles? Are there any coun
ties round about Rock Island
that have failed to execute the
this principle? Exists there a county
in the state to which Rock Island
county will acknowledge inferiority?
There is not citizen of Rock
Island who will assert that
there is any other county in the
state that is better than that in
which he resides. There is not cit
| izen who does not want his county to
be as good as the best, and there is
not citizen who will submit to 9TH
er counties having points of vantage.
| where his voice will count to prevent
it. Prompted by the instinct of 10y
atty to his own which burns eternal
IN the breast of every true citizen Of
the republic; confronted by situa-
ton which demands a change; face
to face with the necessity Of taking
some steps. either in the direction OF
adding more expense to the perpet-
uation of that which does not repre-
sent the spirit, the tendency or the
citizenship of the county or the prin-
ciple which underlies a republic
builded by the deeds of the people
who love it and ore willing to make
sacrifices for it if need be, the peo-
pie of Rock Island county are to say,
shall they build new court house
which will represent them as people,
What shall the answer be? The true
sense of duty will assert itself when
the day comes to record it, and no
motive whatsoever will smother it.
The apyeal of the county to those
who compose it will not be in vain.
Rock leland county will be lifted up
and made to stand proudly side by
side with the other counties OF the
| state.
