Morning at the Once of the River Ensi-
nesrs.
Maj. Alex Mackenzie, in charge of
the river engineer corps of the upper
Mississippi. yesterday attained the
rank of lieutenant colonel. In rec
ignition of the occasion, as an evil
dence of esteem and appreciation, as
4 fitting greeting, the entire corps at
the engineer Offices planned a most
pleasant surprise. and ore that the
new colonel appreciated greatly.
When Col. Mackenzie reached his
office to look after his Sunday MORN
ing mail, he was taken somewhat un-
awares in finding his entire force on
hand-for all had assembled there
to bear evidence of the kindly feel
ing they feel toward their chief.
and to informally bear greeting
and congratulation on his new
honors. II. Bosse, the expert
draughtsman.h had designed unique
representation of Uncle sam in full
dress, holding a glass of wine in one
hand and a pair of lieutenant colonel
shoulder straps in the other, and be-
meath it the legend, Here's to YOU
Colonel" while accompanying the
same was magnificent horse shoe
of flowers so artistically arranged as
to present most effectively the ma
tional colors. red, white and blue
The good wishes so pleasantly en-
pressed moved the colonel visibly.
for MANY of his staff have been with
him throughout the ID years he has
been stationed here in Rock Island,
and thus he felt all the more deeply
touched by the splendid tribute. He
expressed his gratitude in his char
acteristic appropriate manner. and
the occasion proved one for which all
connected with i: will have the most
happy remembrance.
The CoIonels Force.
Those included in Col. Mackenzie's
force are:

TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.

A Move Toward the Formation of an Or
ganization In st. Joseph's Parish.
In anticipation of the perfection Of
a temperance organization composed
of the young men of his congrega-
ton, Rev. Thomas Mackin, of ST. Jo-
seph's church. made a powerful adj
dress yesterday morning, on the fruits
of excessive drink. He outlined the
vices which young men fall victims
to because of their weakness for
liquor. Many promising youths
mind was lost, his life blighted ere
he had ripened unto manhood be-
cause of his early associations with
those just entering upon a career of
dissipation and licentiousness-the
results of strong drink. Liquor had
plucked from a mothers breast her
beloved and dearest child. and led
him down the pathway of vice and
disgrace. until n drunkard's and
many times a murderer's grave was
his. A broken-hearted mothers ap-
peal was of no avail; drink was the
master. Statesmen, ministers and
others of high station in life often
FELL into shame and sin as a result of
their weakness for the sparkling
fluid.
Rev. MackIn urged the necessity Of
parents in guarding their children
against evil associations, which were
the initiative step sto degradation.
An organization should be formed
taking in all young men above the
age of 16, and learn them the danger
of drink, illustrate to them the evils
of bad association. convince them Of
the happiness of virtuous life, and
they would blossom into manhood
useful. honorable and law-loving cit
liens. In conclusion, Rev. Mackin
called meeting of the young men Of
the congregation at 4 O'Clock in the
afternoon.
The First Step
The matter was fully discussed in
the afternoon, when a goodly number
of the young men gathered st St. Jo-
seph's school, and adjournment was
taken until next Sunday. when the or
ganization will be perfected.
