Anniversary of the Birth of American

July-the anniversary OF the birth OF
American independence, the day on
which we all join in celebrating the
signing of that memorable document
that proclaimed to the world that this
country would thereafter stand alone
and Independent of other nations.
1t is the day on which America,
young and old, wage war on the fire
works output as an appropriate
means of giving vent to the patriotic
feeling that swells in the breast of
every true lover of his country and
flag.
AS accidents ARE inevitable on the
Fourth, we NAV expect to hear of the
usual number of burned fingers and
powder-marked faces, but if strict
precautions are taken in the handling
of explosives serious mishaps can be
prevented, and all hope that the day
will pass attended by less serious
consequences ttan has been the case
in years gone by.
Amusement for All.
There will be the customary sus-
pension of business throughout the
city. While Rock Island has not ar
ranged for n celebration, there will be
ample amusement for all-special
attractions having been provided at

PAY ORDINANCE is PASSED.
City Council Allows Salaries for the
Month of May.


Bills aggregating s12, 16O.S7. repre-
senting the labor, ETC., performed fol-
the city during the month of May,
were allowed at special meeting OF
the city council, called Saturday even
ing by the majority mem bers. 1t
was also stated the in call that the
June payroll ordinance would be con-
sidered, but as Clerk SchafTer stated
he had not had sufficient time in which
to prepare it, it was let pass until a
future date.
In order that only such bills as had
been contracted by due authority
would be allowed, at the request of Aid.
Wheelan, each item in the May
ordinance was read to the council. 1t
was found that bills had been con-
tracted by Aids. j. o. Freed and G. A.
johnson, chairmen of the street and
allev and police committees, respec-
lively, without the sanction of either
committee or council.
That is rather loose way of do
ing business" said Aid Fender, adj
dressing the council. Il will vote to
allow these bills tonight, but here
after l will oppose the allowance of
all bills that are not properly author
ized. The aldermen of this council
lave right to know where the city's
money is going, and protest against
the employment of such reckless
methods.
1t is the purpose of the council not
to allow pay to any of the mayors
uncontirmed appointees.

STEAMER ATTACKED.
Princeton Ruffians Bombard the
Verne Swain With
Stones.
LIVELY MISREPRESENTATION

Three Young Fellows Who are Elected
Pay Their Fares Organize a Band and
Direct Fusillade of Rocks at the Packet
Clerk Draws Revolver With Eject.
The steamer Verne Swain was bonn
barded with stones at Princeton, Iowa,
while on hel way to Clinton from
Rock Island late Saturday afternoon.
The attack was led by three young
villagers named Rock, Wermet and
Nye, who refusing to pay their fare
after boarding the boat here, were or
dered TO go ashore when Hampton was
reached.
The Princetonians showed fight and
a desperate struggle ensued before the
crew accomplished their election.
Rock was badly bruised in the scrap.
When the Verne WIS about to pull
away from Hampton the mutinous
trio went aboard again. Wermet hand
ing Clerk Remer ticket for himself
and paying cash for the transportation
of his companions.
The supposition is that one of the
three men telephoned from Hampton
to Princeton and complained of having
been misused by the Verne's crew
and calling on their townspeople to
avenge them, for when the steamer
put into shore at the latter point the
jumping from the boat of Nye and
Wermet was the signal for the begin
ming of an attack by a crowd of row.
dies that had gathered on the river
bank.
Stones rained thick and fast until
Clerk Remer procured his revolver
from his state room. and leveling the
weapon on Wermet who was ap-
parently leading the assault, declared
he would shoot if another rock was
thrown. Warmet dropped the rock
he had in his hand, and his mother
and sister ran to his side and implored
the clerk not to fire.
Crowd Disperses.
The crowd then dispersed and
the boat pulled out for Clinton.
Three mem bers of the crew were hit
and knocked down by rocks, but none
was seriously hurt.
A story explaining the attack on
the Verne is that one of the trio is
related to the famale companion of
'~'''h Rlocker, recently indicted for
~ having

The Verne was in command of
Capt. Black Saturday. Capt. John
Streckfus, owner of the boat. said it
was not likely there would be any
prosecutions.
Clerk Remer was assaulted yes
terday at Princeton by young fellow
whose name is said to be Walter
Schafer. Remer was knocked off the
gang plank into the river. Schafer
will probably be arrested.1
1t it said that during Saturdays
attack Mayor Chapman, of Princeton,
sat in a carriage near by and counte-
nanced the lawlessness of his towns
people.

SAID TO BE COMING STILL.
Announcement of tue Presidents Visit to
the West Again Made.

the West Again Made
Many as have been the rumors and
counter rumors as TO the presidents
coming west during August. it is now
given out by Gen. R. 6. Dyrenforth.
commander-in-chief of the Union Vet
erans' Union, that the president will
attend the national encampment of
the Union at Des Moines, Aug. 22-
The national encampment of the
Union Veterans Union was held in
Rock BLAND last year, it viii be re-
membered, and the attendance of the
president was then promised, but it
was announced at the time that the
state of war in which we were en-
gagged required his presence at Wash
ington. The encampment held in this
city elected Gen. Dyrenforth command
er-in-chief, and selected Scranton, Pa.
as the place of meeting this year, but
the change to Des Moines has since
been made. The influence of Con-
gresham Henderson, of Dubuque, the
speaker of the next house of represen-
tatives. and who is member of the
Union Veterans Union, is said to be
in large degree responsible for the
success of the endeavor to secure the
visit of the president to Des Moines.
If it is ascertained for certainty that
the president is to go to Des Moines
the three cities ought to be in posi-
ton to secure that long promised visit
here. and the repetition of the oft
made invitation from this city is in
order.
Word went to General Passenger
Agent Sebastian, agent of the Rock
Island road, yesterday, asking him if
his company would not renew its
offer of train from Chicago for the
presidents accommodation.
