HELLO GIRLS EXCURSION.

esvsesl Hundred People Erjoy . Trip sn

Several hundred people enjoyed
girls of the Rock Island Central On
ion telephone station. last night.
The pretty steamer, City Of Wlnona,
and barge. with the genial Commo-
dore Streckfus in command, was en-
gagged for the occasion. The gener-
Gus patronage which the excursion
received was indeed deserving. The
operators at the Rock Island station
work hard and are lily paid, and the
public which suffers because the
girls have more than they can do.
was glad OF the chance to help the
operators.
But the excursion was great sue
cess, anyway. The girls did them
selves proud. The crowd came from
Rock Island. Davenport and Moline.
They we're all jolly people bent on
having q good time. They sang.
chatted, drank soda water, ate ice
cream and danced. Bleuer's or.
chestra held forth on the lower deck
Of the barge and discoursed entranc.
idg airs for those who wished to min.
gle in the May waltz. 1t was
warm. but a number danced anyway.
1t was Just Q lovely night, too.
The moon shone out in all her splen
dor, and afforded . magic view oil
the pretty scenery between here and
Buffalo. There are several camps on
the islands below the city. When.
ever the Winona's pilot would no.
tice a camp he would turn the pow.
erful headlight on it and reveal tc
the excursionists the beauties Of liv.
ing like the aborigines did. Every
one seemed to have q delightful
time. The boat put up stream when
about q mile below Buffalo and
reached home at midnight.
Mrs. r. P. Hampton, one Of the
excursionists, stumbled on o box or
the boat and was quite seriously
bruised. She was taken home in
carriage.

server Hunt, of the weather bureau,
said this morning tIat it was one OF
those good old-fashioned hot nights,
and that was all there was 10 it.
While the temperature declined
somewhat during the night, the at
mosphere was so charged with the
heat of the day that comfort seemed
out of the question. And to use an
expression that has become some.
what common of late, humanity
sweltered. bat think il is safe
to venture the prediction that there
is relief Ia store" said Observer
Hunt. "You caunot always tell abou,
these things, but there is every in
dication of thunder sho wer, and
the general conditions are favorable
to a declining temperature, anyway.
They are having cool weather in the
west and it is coming this way"
