Rock Island as the people are to
have them here. The Royal Neigh
bors know Of the large number of
Woodmen and Royal Neighbors in
Rock Island county and know Of
tho distinction that has been &C.

Mr.. johnson spoke of the hesd

all the great gatherings OF women in
the country this is peculiar in itself.
in that it is distinctively a women's
fraternsl and beneficiary society, one
OF the few In the world, and one
of the most successful. He spoke
Of the growth and development Of
the order in the six years Of its ex-
isteDce, Of its having branched out
from an organization originally en-
tirely fratern al and social until now
it provides . means of insurance for
the relatives by blood and marriage

responsibility laid upon us and
standing shoulder to shoulder in the
endeavor to carry out the wishes Of

expressed through the delegation at
that meeting. We went forth to
battle for the support of our order,
and although opposition has been
great and foes Of many kinds were
plenty, we were enabled to give the
cry of 'victory" on every hand as
the official reports of the various
officers will show in no uncertain

length on the important questions
that were likely to command
the attention OF the head camp

and Of increasing the insurance pol

A communics tion from J. d. Tay.

give the avenue the uniform width
for $40. and agrees to forfeit 500 Of
the amount to the municipality. pro.
vided the thoroughfare 10 brought to
grade and sidewalks are caused to be
laid this season. 1t Was the under.
standing of some Of the aldermen
that the former city attorney had
held that land could not be acquired
for widening . street without con-
demnation proceedings. City At
torney Marshall said that il was op-
tional with the city as to the manner
OF acquiring such land.
The mayor suggested that some
measures be adopted for the protec-
tion of the alleys. especially the
paved ones. He thought An ordi-
nance should be adopted covering
this question, and that it should be
rigidly enforced, so that the alleys,
after the city had gone to the expense
OF cleaning them out, be kept clean.
and that refuse be deposited in boxes
or barrels. Aid. Winter said that
people should not be allowed to keep
wagons or any convey ances in their
alleys. as they are . great obstruc-
ton to travel. 1t was ordered that
an ordinance be drafted covering
this question and presented at An
early meeting.
The mayor recommended to the
aldermen the consideration of cur
few ordinance. He said many OF the
larger cities had adopted measures
Of this kind. And he believed it
would be good thing in Rock ISL
and. Numerous people. particularly
business men. had spoken to him
about it. Children under Q Ger.
tain age. unattended, the mayor held,

that the matter be referred to the

The mayor stated that he had
hoped to be able to submit fo- the

Improvements which he had under
