MISS MATTE JONES TO SING

Gifted Young Vocalist to be Heard In Con-
cert In the Near Future.
THE ARGUS heretofore chronicled
the return for her vacation of Miss
Martha Jones, of this city. the gifted
vocal pupil of w. H. Niedlinger, of
Chicago. Many friends have ex-
pressed q desire to hear her sing.
Some of the influential ladies of Rock
Island have manifested much interest
in the matter. 1t has been decided to
give an entertainment in the form of
one of the old-time musicals of the
Jones family. The place and date
have not been arranged, but will be
announced later.
Genius is not so common that a
city finding it in possession of one
of its daughters, should be in any de-
gree Indifferent to it's presence. Miss
Jones' success in the future will add
to the good name of the city of her
birthright. Unfortunately personal
gifts and the financial means to their
development do not always meet to-
gether, as in this case. knowing this
the lady patronesses will probably
take such active measures as will in
sure large net proceeds to the end
that the young singers expenses may
be provided for during the remainder
of her musical studentship in Chicago.

Steamboats, Cannot Land at the New

The surprise that was created by
the location of the steamboat ware
house has been equalled ouly by the
obstinate determination of the mayor
to permit obstacles to its use by its
owner. As has been referred to here
tofore the new warehouse is inacces-
sible for the purposes for which it was
constructed. on account of the pres
ence in the river in frontof the land
ing of sand and stone barges. Even
Capt. John Streckfus, the owner of the
warehouse, cannot land his pack

tempt to do so until other quarters
are secured for the sand barges.
street and other points
have been suggested as harbors for
these barges. but as yet they do rot
seem to have received the word to
move from the proper authorities, al
though the council voted at recent
meeting that another location be Sc
lected for them. No objection would
be made to the presence OF the barges
along the river front-they have
a right to land there and do business
providing thew would not take up
the territory that belongs to the
steamboat companies. for whose ben

as they are now doing, with the re-
suit that the heavy wagons. driving
