The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Quartet on the Rounds.

The hcCOnOchie-Schaner-M r-O'COnnOr
Quartet on the Rounds.
The McConochie Schaffer Miller :
O'Connor corner" engineered and
''cornered" combine is making its last
desperate pull for the shore. All over
the city last evening the quartet was
heard from. The willy politician who
heads the combine was first seen with
one of the others and then with an
other, but he managed to be
brought in contact with the par
ticular friends of each without if
possible letting the friends of the
others know. This tangled web
weaving is a dangerous business, even
in politics, but Mac seems to enjoy
the excitement. 1t certainly cult
Yates the distinctive qualities of the
artful dodger, and although Willy Mac
has acquired the art to perfection. he
has been caught so many times that
it would seem that he would become
tired of the performance after a while.

People Already Have the Benefits.

As far as the merits of the reservoir
operations are concerned the water
consumers of Rock Island are already
beginning to realize the blessings.
and this. even in the early stages of
the plants operation, when the water
receives but about one-third of the
treatment it will when completed and
in thorough working order.
The plain and indisPutable facts are
that the people are having an oppor-
tunitv to practically demonstrate the
merits of the reservoir system-and
they are having it without cent of
additional tax or increase in water
rent, and what is more there viii! be
no increase in taxes or water rent in
consequence of the enterprise on
Mayor Medill's part which has given
to the people of Rock Island this great
improvement, and the benefits that
have grown out of it.

The London Times omplimentary

The London Times Complimentary.
England's greatest newspaper, the
London Times pays a glowing tribute
in recent issue to American railroads.
Among other things it says: In every
thing that makes railroad travelling
safe rapid and convenient. America is
the only country which can dispute our
English primacy. While, for example,
English signaling methods have set the
standard, it is to America we owe auto
matte brakes and sleeping and dining
cars. Within the last few years, more
over, American railways and their SER
vice have improved more rapidly than
their English rivals.
A splendid illustration of this was
the Inauguration of the Pioneer Lin
tied" trains of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul railway between st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Chicago a year ago
known as the only perfect trains in the
world. The equipment of these trains
is the finest ever built. Tourists from
abroad have been quick to approve the
accommodations fer journeying afford
ed in America. ana particularly on the
through trains of the Western railroad
already mentioned.
