ICE MAKING AT LAKE PROVE.
DENCE.

MIR. Fred Moser, late OF The Coa-
sumers' Ice Company, has leased the
Lake Providence Ice Work aud leaves
for that city in a few days, to take
charge of the plant. Lake Providence
will gain an active. useful aud agree
able citizen by this business vrlture
on the part of Mr.. Moser, whose re-
moval from this city will be much re-
gretted-Yicksburg Herald.
Mr.. Fred Moser was for several
years with the Consumers Ice Factory
of Vlcksburg as manager, and comes
here highly recommended as a sober,
industrious, good business man, aud a
gentleman. His assistant, Mr.. Ed.
Tickle. who, by the way, was born in
Providence, is thorough niachinist
he saw the Consumers ice plant put
up aud ran it from the beginning
until last season he is practical ice
maker. Under The new management,
the Providence Ice Factory is bound
TO be success, and when you add TO
the popularity of Mr.. Moser up and
down the river, the fact that the cor.
sumers of ice along the river are
clamoring for the Providence ice De-
cause clearer, harder, and better than
any ice they had last year, we predict
that these gentlemen will not only do
we'll but are bound 10 make money.

Mrs. Eva Marian, Hon. E. j. Ham,
ley aud Masters Marian aud Edward
HamIey left last Thursday morning
by the steamer City of New Orleans,
for Canton, Mo-, the home OF Mayor
Hamley's parents. Mrs. Marian will
spend the summer away, but Mayor
Hanrley will return to us withia four
or five weeks.
Fourteen long years have elapsed
since "Ed', as he is Familiarity called
among us, left Canton for Providence
to make his home among US. Since
then he never went back. In the
meantime, he married in Providence,
and is now the proud father of four
lovely aud Intelligent boys. He owns
one efthe incest homes in the town,
is the President of the Ice Factory,
aud half owner in the Providence
Lumber Company; all of this he has
made by his own exertions, prudence
and attention TO his business. The
fact that E. j. Hamley lie Mayor of
our town for the third term, though
quite young man, cvinces the high
esteem in which he is held by our
people and in this occasion especially,
the Banner Democrat loves to pay him
The tribute that no better, firmer and
more fearless Mayor ever filled the
office since the town was chartered.
If Providence to-day is rid of the law
less element that used to walk our
streets and occasionally attempted TO
show what they could do, il il due to
the fearless way in which Mayor
Hamley prosecuted them. We arc
glad to see him taking vacation, q
much needed rest, al the home OF his
father and mother, who are yet living
and have many reasons TO be proud
of one that we ourselves esteem SO
highly.
The Banner Democrat wishes Mrs.
Marian, Mayor Hamley aud the two
boys a safe trip and speedy return.

An Omaha dispatch says that the
Rock Island road has its surveyors
out on the line of the short cut be-
tween Beatrice and Harrington, Kan,
blazing the way for the new road.
This road will shorten the distance
between Omaha and Texas by about
100 miles, and the tendency will be
to further equalizc Texas rates on
live stock as between this point and
Kansas City, as the distance then 10y
the shortest line will be very little
more from Omaha than from Kansas

DON'T THINK HE'LL GET THIS FAR,

Inability to Agree as to the Treatment of
the Tramps-Adiourned, Subject to the
Call of the Chairman.
Mayor Medill's Office. was, .yester
day afternoon, the scefie sof a quiet
conference in which Mayors Medill.
of Rock Island; Vollmer, of Daven-
port, and Bennett, of Moline; Shcriirs
Gordon. of Rock Island, Jones. of
Davenport, and Chiefs Sexton, Kess-
Ter and kittlesOn, were the partici-
pants. The purpose of the meeting
was to decide as to the proper recep-
ton and treatment of the Kcllyites,
but what was said, was said behind
closed doors. Mayor Medill was ap-
pointed chairman, and the officers
expressed their views on how to treat
the crusaders should they get here.
Each expressed his idea on the sub
jcct.
These ideas were so varied that no
Roadway was made at all. so at last
conclusion was arrived at that Kel-
ly's army was on the ragged edge and
it was the candid opinion prevailing
Rock Island at all. and that they
would therefore adjourn until such
time As the army decided to move
east. In that event Chairman Medill
will call meeting. and the manner
of receiving them will be discussed,
1t is learned that Capt Poke Lam
bert Is greatly agitated over the
meeting for the reason that he was
not called into concultation. His
band of followers mum bers now in the
ncighborhood of 20 to 25.
A TIP to Kelly.
There is one paper published that
seems anxious to have Kelly's army
come its way, but it is published a
long way out of his present line of
advance. The Duluth Tribune saws:
There is one march that the men
could take most advantageously, and
that is march to the unsettled gov
ernment lands, which are only wait
ing for settlers to come to make them
productive. There are thousands %,
acres of such lands in the Duluth and
st. Cloud land districts north of this
city. in the Rainy Lake region and
on the upper waters OF the Missis-
sippi. The land can he had for the
settlement, and if a great body of
men were to turn their attention to
such settlement they would get all
the encouragement they needed and
help. too. The regions accessible
contain vast tracts of rich agricul-
| tural lands. Duluth and tb. rre,t
mining and lumber districts. which
now import their vegetables and
other farm products, will furnish
them markets. Why not organize IN
industrial and agricultural army OF
5000 or 10000 men to 90 TO these
lands? There are lots of lands in
other parts of the country, govern
ment and railroad, that can he util-
lied in the same way. This is good
| time to make determined effort to
settle the idle men of cities upon
| far2s.

A Musiral Event,

The recital given by Mrs. Rather
inc Fisk. of Chicago, at Harpcr's the
atre last evening under the auspices
of the Rock Island and Moline ANA
teur Musical club, proved, as was
the occasion of the distinguished
lady's former appearance in Rock
Island, an event in music circles.
Miss Harriet Adams acted as accom-
PIANIST for the solois:, while Mrs. Ben
f. Gable of Rock Island, and Mrs.
Frank Gates Allen of Moline. assisted
as pianists. The large and apprecia-
tive audience present bore evidence
to the popular desire to again hear
the gifted vocalist whose rich con-
tralto voice charmed so many of our
people on her previous appearance in
Rock Island, as well as evinc;nr the
manner in which the opportunity to
hear the local pianists, Mrs. Gable
and Mrs. Allen, was appreciated.
The program embraced eight num-
bcrs, six of which were given by
Mrs. Fisk, besides responding to an
encore and giving concluding num-
bef after the program was completed.
In an instrumental way Mrs. Allen
gave a delightful combination OF
Chopin's masterpieces. and respond
ed to an encore in the first part.
while Mrs. Gable rendered charming
ly two exquisite selections, one from
Paderewski and one from Messenet
in the second part, and gave a pleas
ing additional selection responsive to
an encore.
