Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, of Washing
ton, New Jersey, the great Organ
and Piano manufacturer, is building
more Organs and Pianos than ever.
In 1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a pen
niless plow boy, and by his indomit-
able will he has worked his way up
so as to sell so far, nearly 1O0,OOO of
Beatty's Organs and Pianos since
1870. Nothing seems to dishearten
him; obstacles laid in his way, that
would have wrecked an ordinary man
forever, he turns to an advertisement
and comes out of it brighter than
ever. His instruments, as is well
known, are very popular and are to
be found in all parts of the world.
We are informed that during the
next ten years he intends to sell 200,
900 more of his make; that means a
business of $40, 200, 900, if we average
them at 500 each. 1t is already the
largest business of the kind in exist
ence. Write or call upon Daniel F.
Beatty, Washington, New Jersey, for
catalogue.

President Burns 10 Ont !.

The numerous friends in Rock ISL
and of Simon Burns will regret to
learn that disaffections have arisen in
the ranks of the Window Glass
Workers Association of America
which have resulted in his retirement
from the executive office of the asso-
citation. A dispatch from Pittsburg
says:
president Simon Burns, of the
Window Glass Workers association,
was deposed from Office at a lively
meeting of officials in this city last
night. With him, four members OF
the executive council we're ousted.
Burns, whose home is at Streator,
was charged with disobedience
and incompetency generally. Under
the latter head it was directly alleged
that his blunders in presenting the
scale to the manufacturers resulted
in defeat of the workers. The move
is the climax of a factional fight. and
the Burns people promise to come
back with startling allegations"

Amusements.

If the opening production Of the
Gordon-Gibney company given last
evening at Harper's theatre can be
taken as a criterion of the remaining
plays to be presented during its en-
gagement here, the amusement-lov-
ing people are assured class of en-
tertainments, the equal of which. it
is safe to venture, was never before
attempted by repertoire company
in Rock Island. Frank Linden, in
the leading role of 1.-The Son Of Monte
Cristo," showed himself capable of
handling the several characters of the
legitimate drama. and the company
which surrounds him is indeed
meritorious one. The company
carries its own orchestra and has nc
doubt entered upon a successful en-.
gagement, which it deserves.
Salvini will make his bow before
his many admirers in the three cities

porting the four derricks distributed
along the Rock Island railroad en-
bankment paralleling Fort Arm
strong avenue ON the island. and
used in elevating steel to be used in
the construction of the new Rock
Island bridge to the fiat cars, by
which it is transferred to the base of
operations. snapped this morning
and the four machines fell with q
crash. Notwithstanding that num-
Der of men were working about the
derricks at the time, none of them
were hurt. although one man was SO
near to one of the immense struc-
lures that it in falling grazed his leg
and removed the skin, but no other
damage was done.
Delayed the Work.
The effect of the accident was to
block traffic on the Rock Island road
for short time, and operations on
the bridge construction were delayed
half day pending the erection OF
the derricks again.
The Phoenix Bridge company is
getting along splendidly with its
work and in a weeks time the anti.
