Entire Police Force on Duty-Only One
Blaze So Far Today.
At 4:3G this afternoon a barn on the
Simmons property, on Fourth ave-
nue. between Nineteenth and TWEEN
tieth streets. was discovered to
be on fire, having undoubtedly
been set by an incenuiary. Although
the department was summoned, the
blaze was extinguished with a few
buckets of water before its arrival.
Up to 4 p. M. today there had been
no further cases of arson in Rock ISL
and since the blaze on the Fender
premises yesterday afternoon.
Chief Miller detailed the entire po-
lice force on special fire duty this af-
ternoon. All the patrolmen turned
out in citizens clothes. Each w;k
given a certain district to cover. with
instructions to arrest ~ and all per-
sons whom in the officers opinion
might have anything to do with any
fire that has occurred or may happen
during the day.
Elmer Stark. the boy detained at
police headquarters on suspicion of
knowing the parties who set fire to
the Hadsell barn, has so far failed to
give any tangible evidence. The boy
is though ut to be mentally unbalanced.
His parents want him sent to some
state institution.
Rock Island suffered series of fires
in 1876 at the hands of ebugs whose
special prey consisted of barns. Twelve
barns in all were either destroyed or
damaged. w. L. Butler was mayor
and Thomas Bollman chief of the vol
unteer fire department. The police
finally fixed the blame on four boys,
who were properly punished. The
majority of the fires, as in the pres
ent instance, were in the business
section of the city.
The loss sustained from the fire on
the premises of the Messrs. Fender,
on Twenty-first street yesterday af-
ternoon. was 5000. There was no in
surance on the barns.

The whaI float Proposition.

There has been some talk today OF
the revival of the wharfboat PROPOSE
ton. and of a scheme to raise suffi-
cient amount of money by subscrip-
ton to enable the city to build and
control it thus keeping all buildings
of the levee. 1t is hoped that if any
such a plan is under way, it will
materialize speedily, as the business
interests of the city are demanding
accommodations on the river front,
and, as has been repeatedly stated in
THE ARGUS, the city is in duty bound
to provide the warehouse unless a
better way is not only suggested, but
is presented in tangible form.
wInona Prettier Than Ever.
Capt. John Streckfus' trim and
palatial packet, Winona, started out
on her initial trip this season this
morning. Since acquiring the Wi
mona. Capt. Streckfus has gradually
improved her each year until she is
now the prettiest little packet that
sails the waters of the upper Missis-
sippi. This ason's improvement is
more marked than ever. Inside and
out the packet has been improved and
painted. The new wheel built for
her this season is but a small part of
the Improvements. The interior of
the boat has been refurnished with
entirely new and costly material. un-
til she resem bles a floating palace. Be-
low like conditions prevail. The en-
CINE room is as clean and neat as a
parlor, and so much pride will the en-
gineer take in the handsome decora-
tons made during the winter that he
will endeavor to have the season
come TO 8 close with the packet in as
fine shape in his department as when
she opened the season. The machin-
cry in the engine room is painted in q
new kind of paint, resem bling silver.
