The combination of the manufac-
turers of merchant bar iron, ups
which the Chicago promoters have
been at work for several weeks, is
practically consummated, and within
a few days the properties will be
taken over by the corporation to be
organized under the laws of New Jer-
sey. The title of the Republic Steel

although not fully decided upon. The
total capitalization is to be 500, 900, =

The properties include all the bar
iron manufacturers of Importance
west of Pittsburg, some of the largest
being in the Birmingham and Ala
bama iron districts. Extensive iron
mines in that section and in the
Mesaba range of the Lake Superior
copper district will be transferred.
The combine embraces about forty
plants, including the Sylvan Steel
works, of Moline. These mills have
an annual output of over one million
tons of merchant bar iron. In addi-
ton to the rolling mill property,
there are six blast furnaces with an
annual capacity of about four hum

Future of Local Plant.
Col. &. w. French, one of the own
ers of the Sylvan plant, was seen at
his home in Davenport yesterday by
Democrat reporter and said: The
deal is not completed, but there seems
to be nothing in the way of its COM
pletion by the transfer of the prop
perty. to the new company within
few days. The operation of the plant
here will depend upon whether it can
be operated as economically as those
at other places"

the proper authorities at Washington,
as it was not within his province,
even were he disposed so to DO to
either grant or reject their demands.
There are about 200 machinists en-
ployed at the arsenal. The exact ma

ascertained, but it is understood one
of the chief demands is for the re-

DOING A NOBLE WORK.
Union Mission and Free Kinder
garten and Auxil-
iarieS.
TO FORM YOUNG woMBNs CLUB.

Meeting for the Purpose to Be Held Fri
day Night-Its objects Social and Intel
IectuaI-Course in Physical Culture With
Talks on Hygiene and Foods Planned
Concert Once Il Month.
A grand and noble work is in pro-
gress in Rock Island under the gen.
eral title of the Union Mission of
which people outside those who have
partaken of its benefits know little.
The mission was lately moved from
Fourth avenue and Fourteenth street
to above Longs grocery on Second
avenue between Sixteenth and Seven
teenth streets.
Mr.. German superintends the re-
ligious department. He is an earnest
and enthusiastic worker.
The attendance in the kindergarten
department has been small, owing to
much illness among. the little flock,
and them too, on account of the in
clement winter. Spring will usher in
many new faces, and a kindergarten
association is to be formed among the
ladies of Rock Island in order to re-
lieve Miss Pitcher of some OF her
many duties. Miss Pitcher has many
homes to visit, mothers meetings to
hold, and ought to be free from the
task of raising funds necessary to this
good work The work speaks for it
self, aud the little group of people
who meet each day shows a decided
improvement in many ways, and
few tired mothers have been relieved
for few hours each day at least.
A new club in connection with the
mission will be of much interest to
the young working women of Rock
Island. This club meets for the
first time Friday evening, and all are
cordially welcomed. All young wom-
en- under % are eligible TO member
ship. The objects of the club are
social and intellectual. A course in
physical culture with practical talks
on hygiene and foods has been
planned. A good concert will be held
once month, when the young women
will have the privilege of bringing
their gentlemen friends.
