Several Hundred People Entertained at

Furnishings.
New Years social gatherings were
numerous. but the one to which
all eyes were turned was the formal
opening last night of the Rock Island
Club, anevent that marked the begin
ming of an organization that it is eX-
pected will WELD an influential hand
in the future upbuilding of the NUM-
cipality- Several hundred invitations
had beer issued, and as early as s
O'Clock guests began to pour in, many
alightirg from carriages that were
heard to keep constant roll on the
pavement. and all ascending the stair
way which had.been specially erected
for the occasion on the Third avenue
side and leading to the second floor of
the spacious club house, the carpeted
pathway being Illuminated by large
electric light that hung from an arch
at the fence.
1t was estimated that no less than
six hundred people attended the
reception, Davenport and Moline be-
ing well represented. The visitors on
entering were directed to rooms where
wraps were hung, and then continued
to the buster scenes that were in pro-
gress on the first floor, and where 4
welcome hand was extended by Presi-
dent Frank Bahnsen and the other
officers of the club. Here the hum of
conversation, frequently broken by a
ripple of laughter, was heard,
ali eventually coming up in
front of large table in the dining
room, where simple collation., con-
sisting OF coffee, salads and sand
wiches, was served by corps of wal
tiers. There was more to please the
palate, such as punches, which were
astonishing in appearance, yet mild
in flavor.
Time sped swiftly as the guests
wended their way through the house
and inspected the various rooms and
their tasty furnishings. Strains of
music echoed through the Railways,
and notified those who would indulge
in the gayities of the ball room that
there were both opportunity and con-
venience for them on the third floor,
and many found their way thither,
especially the young folks, and they
kept pace with the lively two-step
and the enchanting waltz rs rendered
by Bleuer's orchestra.
1t was an exceedingly delightful
laffair-well conceived and ably man
aged. all who came being made to
feel that they were among friends and
at home, and departed feeling that q
magnificent enterprise, with the
brightest prospects of success, had
been launched in the Rock Island
Club.

Rep.), of Freedom, gave notice of
reconsideration of the vote by which
the bill was lost and the friends of the
measure will make another effort to
pass it,
HELP FOR SOLDIERS OF 81.
H. F. PAL, by Mr. Roberts (Rep.). of
ly to the support of the. soldiers home,
was recommended to pass in the house
yesterday without any opposition.
The author of the bill made lengthy
speech in favor of the Measure, iex-
planning that the one}tenth of a mill
tax levied for the relief of soldiers
outside the home in 1896 had brought
into this fund $4,000 and it was sup
posed this amount would be enough
to take care of the institution as well
as afford the relief for Veterans out
side. In 1897 but $4,000 was collected
from this source, and as the legislature
had cut off the appropriation for the
home in 1897 the relief fund had to
be drawn on to the amount of $4,000
in that year, and for $4,000 in 1898.
This made the relief fund so small that
hundreds Of deserving, applicants were
turned away
The state contributed nothing for the
last two years direct to the home and
it was run on what was received from
the government, $50 for each inmate
and about 81 900 from the pensions Of
the inmates.

days work ON the bookscof the defunct

with the s. G. Ginner case, and then
passed resolution hiring the expert
at SIS per day to prepare a bill Of par
tlculars III the case. The resolution,
which was presented by Commissioner
Iiardlck, created quite a ripple before
it's final passage.
1t appears that the commissioners
some time ago agreed to pay no more
than $40 per day for the services of
any kind Of an expert, and it was sug-
gested that Mr. Temple might be will
ing to work for that amount. County
Attorney Bigelow explained that the
work asked for was absolutely neces-
sary and must be accomplished by
March "a. Mr.. Temple had done the
preliminary work and therefore was
best fitted to tackle the bill of partic-
ulars. Furthermore, the accountant
had refused to work for less than SIS
per day. On this showing the bill was
passed.
