GONE STEADILY ON.
Has Rock Island in Substantial
Improvements During
the Year.
AGGREGATE OUTLAY OF 100000.

The Reservoir. Levee. New Bridge. Wood
men building, Etc. Are Among the
Most Notable Instances-But the Spirit
of Progress Has Been General Through
out the City.
In the matter of substantial pro-
gress and steady growth as in general
prosperity, the year 1898 has left the
impress as one of the most notable in
the city's history. Following the
pace set by the municipality, i'm
Provements have gone steadily on.
1t has been said before that few peo
pie realize to the fullest extent the
record the city has made in the past
II months in enduring improve
ments. a splendid reservoir has
been provided in a most advantageous
location through the enterprise of the
present mayor and council, at a cost
of 5000 Through the same in
strumentality the levee has been pre-
served and ID river front established
for all time att an outlay of SIG, 900,
portion of which amount, however.
was borne by the Rock Island &
Peoria railway and the Rock Island x
Davenport Ferry company. The new
lower bridge has come and is prac-
tically completed, representing with
the connecting shore work, etc,
$3.50, 600 on this side of the
river. Paving on Elm street,
affording a new, modern thorough
fare of entrance to the city, involved
$50 692, while Twenty-sixth street
improved and paved cost $5.2S7. In
watermains $4,000 was spent: in
streets, alleys and grounds $4,000.
Beside these improvements, carts for
the systematic hauling and DISPOSE
ton of garbage, rubbish, ashes, etc,
have been provided, and the health
regulations put on basis that few
cities the size of Rock Island enjoy
the advantage and blessings OF. Side
walk Improvements have gone stead
lily on in all parts of town.
And, as said before, the march of
improvement has not been confined TO
the city government. The city
has simply led the way though
with good lead. The home
building OF the Modern Woodmen
of America has gone up, repre-
senting $500 and standing as one
of the finest and best structures of its
kind in the world. The Rock Island
Plow company has put up $4,000
building adjoining its plant down
town, the Rock Island X Peoria has
provided itself with new $4,000
round house. the Tri-City Railway
company has put $4,000 into i'm
provements during the year, includ-
ing track. paving, new motors, trucks.
cars, new summer cars,
etc. The Harper house is undergoing
the process of remodeling, at 4 cost
of $50, 900, and the Rock Island house
has been improved to the extent of
s., coo.
Improvement Has Been General.
These are some of the important
in the progressive
IN which Rock Island has
oris included. Improve
nent has. though. not been confined
to the outlay of large sums exclu-
sively. 1t has been the watchword.
New buildings, homes and business
blocks, have gone up all over town.
in the aggregate $780,

with more notable instances enumer-
lted, will swell the years work to

The bicycllst is a reformer who is too
little appreciated. Wherever he
abounds good roads are becoming COM
mon. n.-Harrisburg Patriot.
1t is taking Hon. Billy Mason a long
time to prepare the speech with which
he is going TO explode that Spanish
editor.-Philadelphia Ledger.
While it is not to be supposed that
Great Britain is going to offer to spend
Of its substance in helping the United
States fight its war, there is no doubt
that Great Britain more and more ap-
preciates the fact as the years roll by
that 1t is well for it to be on good terms

places more dependence upon thefriend-

Austria seems to be the only open
and earnest opponent that the United
States has in Europe All the countries
OF the first rank, Russia, Germany,
England, France are friendly enough,
but Austria's dislike OF America has a
touch OF vindictiveness. The memory
OF the Austrian people and Austrian
statesmen runs back to the time when
the United States compelled France TO
leave the Maximillian attempt to get
possession of Mexico to it's fate. 1t is
a sore memory and il accounts for sew
eral Of the anti-American suggestions
which have come from Austria OF late.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION
NOT THE VOICE OF A LEADER. q"

mot THE VOICE OF A LEADER"
The message of President Mckinley,
which yesterday went to the Senate and
the House, will satisfy the country
hardly more than it satisfied Congress.
The president recounts the history Of
the Cuban insurrection at more length
than was necessary at this time, but
that would have been forgiven If he
had reached the measure of expectancy
in his recommendations for the solu-
ton of the problems Of the existing
situation. He writes temperately-
most temperately, considering all the
circumstances-with a pen dipped in
the mild milk of human knowledge. He
writes the brief of a lawyer, without
the vigor of an advocate. He quotes
Jackson and Grant, and Cleveland and
Mckinley and one reads through it all
as patiently as may be, willing to hear
him for his cause, but disappointed
that when he does state It his cause is
not worthier OF so much verbiage.
The marrow OF the message seems to
be this; Peace must be restored to
Cuba. Give me power to forcibly inter
vene to that end when and how !
choose. The Independence OF Cuba
should not now be recognized. With
these recommendations l tlrn the whole
matter over to Congress, with the re-
quest that 1t turn it back to me.--LOuis-

WILMINGTON MANS ROMANTIC
MARRIAGE.

Rosalie Schultz. 10 years of age, from
LOebau, Germany, was among the
steerage passengers on the North Ger
man Lloyd steamer Willehad, Captain
ROben, which arrived at Locust Point
yesterday from Bremen, says the Bal
timore Sun of to-day. She became a
bride before she left the pier. Four
teen years ago when Franz Zilinski,
now % years old, left LOebau he
pledged his love to Rosalie Schultz,
then a girl of years. ZilinsH came
to America with his parents and now re-
sides in Wilmington. Del A short time
ago he sent for ROsalie to come to
America to become his wife, and upon
her arrival he was at the steamer to
meet her. The barriers the immigra-
ton department raises against immi-
grants were extended to Rosalie and
her Franz. She must marry him at
once or be returned in the ship as one
who was an undesirable immigrant.
lAll was made well, however, when
the lover and his fiance were recOnciled
TO the situation. A license was obtain
ed from the clerk of the Court OF Com
mon Pleas and a minister soon tied
knot that set the girl from Loebau
free.
