Attractive store Displays Tor the Glad
some Tide.
The approach of the gladstone fes-
tival, Easter, has not before brought
out more bright and attractive dis
play on the part of Rock Islands
merchants than is demonstrated this
season. This morning McCabe COM
menced his 3-days' Easter sale, his
mammoth stores on Second avenue
being artistically decorated in honor
of the occasion. From the immense
window displays. in one of which is the
tasty arrangement of p. N. corsets
brought direct from New York and
represented by l.. A. Downs, who is
present in person, to the remotest
corner of the establishment, all is
fresh and inviting and suggestive of
the tide which lifts up the hearts of
all christendom. Two of the stores
are darkened, the jewelry, china and
crockery and millinery, which with
the brilliant illuminations, present a
very pretty scene. A feature that is
relished too, is lemonade which Mr..
McCabe has arranged with Ruth's
band to serve to all gratis, as far as
the public Is concerned.
Other Bright Displays.
Other bright displays are those of
Young & McCombs, who, by the
way, are having their first annual
sale. and their store is appropriately
decorated in consequence. McIn-
tyre-Reck Dry Goods company, al
ways among the leaders, have a eor-
geous pair of windows, evidencing
the refined taste that prevails in the
assortment of stock, while Krell &
Math. NJ. & K, Lloyd & Stewart, j..
B. thinner, r. Champion and the
London have window displays such
as they can always be counted on to
present during holiday times.

so foreign to their Professionalism.
They are members of that organ

TO TALK TT OVER.
Mayor-elect Knox to Confer
With Party Aldermen.
APPOINTMENTS TO BE CONSIDERED

Having Hard Time Fixing 1t up-A d.
versity Of Opinion Among the Party
LiRbts-Tomorrow Nights Meeting and
Its Object.
Mayor-elect B. F. Knox has in
vited the republican aldermen, who
will be included in the coming mu-
nicipal assembly, to his house to-
morrow night to confer on the SUD-
ject of municipal appointments.
There has been SO much of diver
sity of opinion among the aldermen
and others o! recognized influence
and standing in the party councils
that the coming mayor, who
has found out already that he
who wears the crown munich
pal does not walk, midst roses,
has determined to call about him the
councilmen and place to some extent
the situation in their hands, and see
if mutual adjustment of all matters
may not be the outcome. There has
been q great pressure brought to
bear on the mayor-elect. as has been
said, to appoint Phil Miller marshal,
but he has. it is asserted, been food
ed with protests equally as positive
and convincing. There has likewise
been a movement to restore William
Ramskill to the fire department., but
he cannot consistently do this, it is
unnecessary to state, but it is be-
lieved the mayor is hesitating be-
tween Ramskili and Hampton, which
one should be sent to the toll gate.
The other appointments are giving
Mr.. Knox considerable concern. as
he is anxious to have popular ad-
ministration and is firm in some
points, but he is being set upon by
the hungry after Office and their
friends in a manner that would shat
ter the nerves of most anyone.
Down In the Fir.t.
There has been considerable re.
publican caucusing of late in view
of the coming special election fer
alderman in the First ward to fill the
vacancy caused by Aid. Bladel's res
ignation. Among the republicans
mentioned for the nomination are
Foster Coyne, Z. B. McKown and
Hugh Rahlston. The democrats are
viewing the situation from a conser-
vative standpoint. and when the
time comes they will do as they did
in the late election-nominate the
winner.
