Practical improvement Of the
River Front to Be
Begun.
THE COUNCIL SEEKS PROPOSITIONS

Csatrset % He Awarded for the gIrss Ave-
me Portion Two Weeks Hsaor. sad the
ConsldsFssien Of the Gsne IL Lsvee Pro.
Jest Already Well in Hand-A Much
Needed Improvsment.
The city council, at its regular
monthly meeting last evening, took
the necessary step to the inaugura-
ton OF the river front improvement.
Mayor Medill called attention to the
fact that the assessment roll for the
First avenue portion had been con-
6rmed. and hence that all the pre-
liminaries were disposed of. He
therefore suggested that bids be in
vited forthwith. Thereupon Aid.
w. c. Maucker, who has been one Of
the most steadfast and unfailing ad-
vocates of the levee Improvement,
moved that the city clerk be in
structed to advertise for bids for the
paving OF First avenue. to be sub.
mitted at the regular semi-monthly
meeting two weeks hence. The mo-
ton was adopted by unanimous vote.
Thus is provision made for the prac-
teal beginning of this great and
much desired public work.
Whole Plsn to He O. rrisd Dat.
1--WE will complete the paving of
First avenue from Sixteenth to Twen-
tieth this fall" said Mayor Medill
after the council meeting last night,
land the grading and planking of
the railroad tracks, the extension of
the Intersections and the establish
ment of the levee proper will be in
augurated early 10 the spring. As q
matter Of fact We already have plans
under consideration and 1t is q source
Of qualification to know from
the suggestions we have received
from people in u position to know
what they are talking about, that the
work can be done so economically
and yet SO substantially. We will
have levee here by the time river
navigation is fairly open to us
another year that will be one of the
finest along the upper river, and the
entire surroundings down there u i'll
present q much different appearance
from what they do now, le. me tell
you"
And the mayor walked of with thu
air of one who felt that another ont
OF the great objects of his admins
tration was in u safe way to be con
illuminated.

-Aysessy Of the Dsash Of Jsnss BAIRD.
Of Lyon. Ievs-Was Wsaasa in TAls

A few years ago James Baird and
Susan Dorrance we're married

there . number of years and finally
removed to Chicago. but later took
up residence at Lyons, Iowa. On
Aug. % the dead body of an I'M
known man was found in Q pile OF
refuse in the rear of "a Myrtle
street. Dunning, near Chicago.
There was apparently no means of
Identifying the remains and after the
coroner's inques had been held they
were inferred in the potter's field.
Now the Chicago Dispatch of last
Saturday evening brings this inform
alton to the Identification a. to the
remains as those OF Baird, the form.
or resident Of Port Byron:
although decomposition had
practically destroyed all means Of

she believed from q published de.

come to her notice, that the dead
body Of her husband had been found
in refuse pile in the rear of "a
Myrtle street OF Aug. 20. Reference
to tina records of the police showed
that the body. presumably that Of q
tramp. had been buried in the pot.

to have been due to heart disease
Detectives Flynn and Elliott were de.

LAsOR's GREAT HOLIDAY.
The G. LIBERATION IT Prospect Pa ri
Moline.

The Celebration IT Prospect Park
Moline.
The Labor day celebration at Mo-
line yesterday will be recorded as
one OF the most successful yet held
in this part of the country.
Words of encouragement to the
workingmen-advice to organize
were given at Prospect park, where
the picnic was held. g. E. Allen
presided. Mayor Gustaf Swens.on,
Of Moline, gave the address of well
come. He said organized labor
might be blessing to the country
il the true intent Of unions is carried
out. They must work hand in hand
with capital.
M. j. McEniry, OF Moline, followed.
He spoke Of the importance of Labor
day. and then turned to govern
ment BY injunction and the postal
savings bank. He recommended the
establishment Of the latter, thereby
providing q safe depository for the
earnings of she laborer. While bow
ing to the will of the courts, the
speaker believed that the power as
sumed BY the federal and state
courts. particularly with reference
to iDjunctions. should be curtailed.
G. j. Searle, of this city. was the
next speaker. He scored the ra 'lroads
and other monopolies. He said
there was more danger of the rail-
roads regulating the country than Of
the people regulating the railroads.
He said the last three legislatures
we're corrupt. He had no 81 mpathy
with the sentiment which would re-.
tard any movement looking to the
Advancement of the cause Of labor.
James P. O'Connel. grand master
machinist of the International Asso-
citation Of Machinists. gave the ora
ton Of the day. He said labor wants
the right to organize and wants the
hours of labor reduce until every
man who wants work may obtain It.
Long hours Of labor are the cause OF
intemperance, prostitution and d.
vorces. Shorter hours, Mr.. O'Con.
mel held. mean more and better
wages and more comfortable homes
He said the first step In this direc.
ton will be made May 1, 1898, when
organised labor every where will de.
mand . shorter work day. Then the
equalization of wages will be insisted
on. and women doing mems work will
be asked to be allowed mems pay.
Laboring men must unite and stand
for their rights. They must lay
aside their petty differences as to
race. religion or politics, aud then
this country would not be disgraoed
BY such scenes - Mr.. O'Conuol said
he had witnessed In West Virpinia
within the past two weeks-a father
sitting beside the body of his dead
child for two days, because the oom.
Pany which owned the cemetery, and
everything else. would not permit
him to bury it on ito land, and finally
being compelled to carry 1t in bis
srms beyond the oompanys land 70
plant It beside the highway. He de-
nounced the courts which not onlv
enjoined men from using the pub c
highways, but prevented q minister
from visiting the miners TO preach
to them the gospel Of the Christ who
was crucided for preaching to the
poor.
