wrought up over an incident which
involved the cost of q pair of shoes
and resulted in anything but that
which he intended it should. The
truant officer in his rounds came
across little fellow who explained
that he was compelled to remain
away from school on account of hav.
ing no feet covering. So the truant
officer agreed to purchase a nice pair
of shoes for the little fellow if he
would promise to 20 to school. The
boy promised. He got the shoes.
And now the truant officer can't find
the boy. who didn't attend school a
day. 1t is supposed the family has
changed locations. And Mr.. Sweeney
has come to the conclusion that he
has been worked.

Doard Of Edueation ADOPTS . NJ Word
Book.

-
Book.
Swinton's word book was retired
from the Rock Island public schools
after many years Of service by the
board OF education at its meeting
last evening. The adoption Of
Reads speller was recommended by
the text book committee and the
board finally sanctioned the change,
after listening to quite an argument
from Director Sinnet, who was not in
sympathy with the proposition,
which he considered unnecessary and
only tending to heap more financial
burden upon parents. and he accord
ingly cast negative vote in the bal
lot which resulted in the selection of
Reads book by vote of 3 to l.
President Robbins being absent and
DR.. e. b. Kinyon being elected chair
man.
The ultimate demand for increased
accommodations for scholars was
impressed upon the board when it
was learned that III new pupils en-.
tered school during January
enough to ELL three rooms. This was
according to the report of Superin-
endent Ament. who reminded the
school directors that the present sit
uation might be taken as basis for
their forthcoming years calculations.
An epidemic OF sore throat has
lowered the per cent of attendance
TO 93.6S, but the actual average daily
attendance for January-2.61S- is
the highest recorded in the history OF
the schools, continues the superin-
tendent's report. There were "a
cases of hardness among scholars;
seven suspensions (all boys), and in
IL instances in dealing with as
many boys corporal punishment was
reeorted to.
Too Many Tardy Teachers.
There were six cases OF hardness
among the teachers, and the super.
intendent concludes his report with
this comparison: ..lf We had Is
many teachers as We have chill
dren in the schools and the
teachers should continue to be tardy
at the same ratio that they report
this month they would have 2iC
cases to account for-nearly three.
and-one-hah times as many as the
children. In other words the teach.
ers during the past month were
actually guilty of three-and one-hali
times as much hardness as were the
children, numerical proportion being
considered.

The River Front Improvement
and Prospects.
RAILROAD COMPANIES WILLING.

The Golden Opportunity for the city
Contractors VIII Take the Job and Wait
for Their Money-Nothing to Prevent
Work Going Ahead.
It is now or never with the river
front improvement, that is If the city
is DESTROYS of awaiting itself of the
opportunities which are now pre-
scented to accom- plish the undertak.
ing at moderate cost. The offer of
the railroad companies are still open.
1--WE are willing to fill out the ordi-
nance with our proportion at any
time" said one Of the officials yes
terday, "but we do not intend to ex-
tend an indefinite option. We will
do our part if the city pushes the
enterprise without further delay"
This also is the position OF the other
railroad interested, and this with
the ferry company held by
good faith should insure action in
the matter early next week. w. II.
Edwards, of the contracting firm Of
Edwards & Walsh, said this morn
ing: There are twenty firms of con-
tractors who will put this improve
ment in this summer and wait an
other year for their money. We
will do it and as low as if we were
going to be paid cash for it. We will
take our chances about getting our
money from the city Of Rock Island. a"
Terminal Compsny's Position.
F. P. Blair, of the Terminal COM
pany, stated this morning that his
company desired to bear its proper
ton Of the expense of the improve
ment, and when asked if he was will
ing to have his tracks located now
between Sixteenth and Twentieth
streets ard graded in accordance
with the i'm provement, he said he
thought such an arrangement could
be made. II the Terminal company
is willing to do the right thing with
out ..ifs" or lands" the city can
readily come to an understanding
with il.
Bat IT is time for action now on
the river front. and it's as good an
opportunity as the city will ever
have 10 understand who are its enc
mics and who are its friends. The
people who are crying delay are not
sympathizing with the improve
ment.

SCIENTISTS HOME.
New Denomination to Have a
Church in Rock island.
LOCATION TwEHTY-THIRD STREET

Number Of Prominent Families Interssted
Hand in the Matter and Propose Imne-
diate Erection of Place OF worship.
Rock Island Christian Scientists
are to have o church Of their own.
Property on Twenty-third street
between Eighth aud Ninth avenues
in Mixter's addition has been pur-
chased at cost of 81, $50 and thereon
will be commenced the Immediate
construction Of a place Of worship
for this new denomination. with
which q number Of Rock Islands
prominent families are identified.
The location which the Christian
Scientists have chosen for their new
church is one of the most desirable
in the city. The site contains a
frontage of 80 feet with depth Of
125 feet, and it lies on the east side
of Twenty-Third street near the cor
ner Of Ninth avenue. What the
style Of the proposed structurs will
be is matter to be yet determined.
But it is going up. and very soon at
that.
There are now about twenty-five
Christian Scientists in this city. For
some time they held meetings Fri
day evenings at the Industrial Home
and are now holding them at the
Swedish Baptist church at the corner
OF Twenty-first street and Fifth ave.
nue.. The Rock Island Scientists
meet every Sunday with the Daven-
port congregation at the Knights of
Pythias hall in that city. But they
came to the conclusion sometime
ago that they should have a place of
worship which they could call their
own. So all aoquiesced in the plan
of purchasing site and going ahead
with building. The lot was
bought by Fred C. Denkmann.
Selecting a style.
A committee has been appointed
to select the architectural design
for the proposed church aud make
some recommendations as to what
material it shall be constructed Of.
1t is not improbable that a frame
building will be gotten along with
for the present until the congrega-
ton grows in members and wealth,
although some favor Putting up q
modern stone structure. Such q
building would certainly add to the
beauty of that already attractive
thoroughfare- Twenty-third street.

Circuit Court Notes.

A motion for n new trial in the
Van Patten e. Marks VS.. Hansgen Il
Buncher case has been overruled
by Judge Bigelow. This case,
which is one of number, was tried
a short time ago and resulted in a
victory for Mr.. Hansgen. Its out
come will decide the others. The
plaintiffs will carry it to the appel
late court.
\ case which has been hanging fire
before the justice Of the peace of Ill
inois City for 4 couple of years was
disposed of in the circuit court yes
terday. NJ. +. Thompson, Of Mus
catine, sold Wiley Gilbert, of Hi
nois City. the agency of the North
western Iowa Mutual Insurance CON-
pany for $1,000. Gilbert gave his
notes for the amount, but when the
time came refused to pay. The first
note was for s75. The jury said the
defendant had no right to pay, as
