Rock Island Takes Des Aolnes' scalp for
the Second Time.

Yesterdays game should have
been a shut-out, but as it was Des
Moines made but one. AL Mauck
was in superb shape and pitched a
pretty game, and it was not until the
fifth inning that a canvas-covered
"prohib" saw third base. Danny
Sweeny led off with hit and went
clear around to third on the tield-in Of
Joe Cantillod's hit. On the throw
to catch Danny, Joe went to second.
Putty Zeis was gifted base and katz
struck out. Kreig hit fly to Seisler,
who made an error, and Daniel, the
small. was allowed to score. Hills
hit at Griffin was certainly full of fire,
but he jumped and got il. and
doubled Putty ut second.
Des Moines' half of the first needs
no explanation, and for that mat
ter none of it's halves do,
In the second Sage hit to
McFadden and was out; Lynch and
Mauck were each given base and
Danny Sweeney made hit which
brought Patrichias home. Joe Can
tillon made hit, and Al and Danny
scored. Zeis sacrificed and Joe Katz
hit to Holmes and was put out at
first. The Twins had the game
then, hut by making one in the third.
two in the fourth, one in the fifth
and one in the ninth, they made vic
tory more than sure. 1t was in the
fourth that Putty Zeis tried to run
away from Joe katz, and he placed
q hoS Ia INIT ,hn
tograph. Joe followed him ant
placed 3-baser himself. BaNendal,
was to so in and pitch for De-
Moincs. but he didn't.
The score is as follows:

Notwithstanding s Secured weyerhau-

Mayor Medill's conference with
Mayor Bennett and other municipal
officers of Moline with relation to the
city's water supply yesterday after
noon resulted in an arrangement
whereby Rock Island will be pro-
vided for hereafter. Mayor Bennett,
together with Aid. McBeth, chair
man of the waterworks committee of
the Moline city council, and Supt. of
Waterworks Theo Wheelock, met
Mayor Medill in more than a spirit of
neighborly consideration and kind
ness. They demonstrated their will
ingness to aid Rock Island in a man
ner that was extremely gratifying,
giving assurance of their desire to
give to the city every possible meas
ure of relief. They not only stated
that the connecting valves on the
city mains OF the two cities in the
division line would be opened at all
times except between the hours of 5
and p. m, but that in case of fire
in Rock Island it would be only nee
essary to telephone the waterworks
at Moline, when the supply would be
furnished, no matter what the hours.
and furthermore, in such an event
the bluff portion of Moline would be
cut off and the full force of the sup
ply pumped direct into Rock Island.
Having made such arrangements.
Mayor Medill Immediately conferred
with Weyerhauser 4 Denkmann, who
have facilities for pumping million
and half gallons n day, and who
agreed to give the city this advan-
tage also.
On an average the city Of Rock Isl.
and is pumping 3,0o0.o0o gallons
daily through the inlet pipe. The
stage today is just what it was yes
terday.
Enforcing the Sprinkiing Ordinance.
Last evening the mayor gave or
ders to enforce the sprinkling ordi
nance to the letter, and in addition
to the night force of police three
men were detailed to see that Their,

An Idea of How Rock islands Federal
Structure win Look Two Full stories
With Attic Roof Best Plan of Build
ing Of Its Glass.
Secretary J. W. Day. of the Citi-
Zens' Improvement association, has
received an important and interest
ing communication from Congress
man p. S. Post relative to the pro-
gress of the Rock Island public
building. In this it is stated that
the sketch plan for the building has
been made. and the working
drawings are progressing. although
it is impossible to say precisely how
soon the architects office will he
ready to advertise the contract. Mr..
Post SAYS, however. that additional
force will he put to work on these
drawings.
Plan OF the building.
The sketch plan shows fine build
ing 92 by 80 feet, two stories high,
with attic roof. The first floor is in
tended for the postoffice exclusively.
The second floor contains eight
rooms, one 16 by %, and another 16
by &c. This floor is designed for the
accommodation of the surveyor OF
the port, internal revenue Offices and
the river engineer offices. On the
third floor there are three or four
attic rooms.
Best of It's Glass.
Congressman Post states that in
view of the fact tina: it is expected
| that at this time contractors will un.
dertake contracts of this nature for
less money than formerly, these
plans have been adopted. and that
the officials of the architects oflic,
regard the plan for the Rock ISLAND
building as the best which has beer
put for a building of its class. Shout,
tie bids Of the contractors disap
point these anticipations. congress
may he induced to supply what al
ditional appropriations may be need
ed.
1t is to be hoped that Rock Islam,
contractors will demonstrate thei
pablo spirit by taking into consider
alton the style of building whe
their opportunity comes to bid. an
not delay operations until congress
ppropriates further money, but wi
, make their proposition so that th
structure designed may be put u
within the appropriation, and wor
begun at once.

arrived yesterday in a car of mater
ial, together with goodly portion Of
the people attached to the show in
various capacities. More of the COM
bination is expected today. The
presentation will be the grandest
historical and pyrotechnic event of
its kind ever given here. 1t is ac-
curate in historical representations
of a patriotic nature, grand in its
scenic and categorical effects. its bal
let's, etc, and in all respects it is an
this country are favored with seeing.
Charles Parkinson. under whose
immediate direction this $45, 900 pro-
duction is given, is in the city ar
ranging the preliminaries.
Mr. Parkinson said this morning,
speaking of his attraction: 1--WE
carry $50 people and have $50 in our
cast. We have already appeared at
Louisville, Cleveland and Columbus,
to immense business, and after our
engagement here we go back to Gin
cinnati. At Columbus we exhibited
to $4,000 people, which will afford
an idea of the drawing capacity Of
our show. At Cleveland on July 4
we had 3,942. We have with III
here now 20 ballet girls. % Arabs
and six Persians, the foreigners being
all specially people of the most re
markable kind. We give splendid
Performance, discounting Payne's ef

tv have no idea of what is in stor,
for them in ..Americus" next week.
