1t is desired by the city council that
all trees in the residence districts be
trimmed Immediately, as it is found
branches with their leaves, especially

ever in case the tower system is
adopted.

The colored discs Indicating the
routes of the cars have made their
appearance on some of the cars of the
two Moline lines. The discs are the
product of happy thought on Gen
eral Manager Lardner's part, but right
at the start ii is suggested that some
particular part of the car be specifi-
cally designated for the display of
these discs, and the public viii then
become accustomed to knowing in
stinctively and at glance just where
to look for them.
Henry Merker, who is the author of
the grand spectacular production of
Black Hawk, to be presented at the
Watch Tower next season has another
equally attractive Indian play which

deserving cause. The play is called
'.Tonti. = and like Black hawk, is his
torical in plot, situation and story.
Mr.. Merker has the plans completed
for the new theatre to be erected at
the Tower, contingent upon the prop
er encouragement being given the en-
tertainments to be presented there
next summer under his direction.
The ferry Augusta finally reached
winter quarters, at the Kahlke boat
yard, Saturday night. after a rough
voyage. 1t was necessary to call the
assistance of n Peoria locomotive in
order to eXtricate the boat from her
ice imprisoned position at Twelfth
street, the operation being performed
by means of rope attachment. The
boat then suffered few hours delay
in waiting for the draw on the Cres-
cent bridge TO open. This had to be
done by hand. as the machinery is
not vet installed. SuPt. Milliken, of
the Phoenix Bridge company, which is
building the structure, says had no.
tilication come in time the draw
would have been swung, without de-
Law to the ferry.
