10 the right of the narrow pass. keeping
the Beers back on a ridge to the left,
while the infantry deployed in plain
sight and the artillery occupied a po-
sition under the ridge.
THE Beers worked their guns rap
idly. but the howitzers replied with eff
feet and drove back the Beers over-the
ridge.
The convoy passed safely and when
the force began to retire the Beers
again advanced with a gun I the
ridge. The British left field battery re-
piled. The first shell forced the gun to
retire"

SHAMEFUL NEGLECT,
That of the Mayor, That Per.
n1its Weeds in Paved
Street.
CITIZENS ARE JUSTLY MORTIFIED
unsightly Condition of a Promi-
nent Down Town Thor
oughfare.

One of the most notifying specta-
cles that the present city administra-
ton is permitting citizens who pos
sess pride in Rock Island to endure, is
the neglect of the paved streets down
town. While failure to sYstematical-
" clean the public thoroughfares has
been one of the most marked charac-
teristics of the present control of mu-
nicipal affairs, where inattention to
duty has become so conspicuous that
weeds and grass be allowed to sprout
in the pavement, the people are nat
urally somewhat amazed. Only once
in the history of modern Rock Island
has such a condition existed before;
that instance, too, was under repub-
lican administration.
No less prominent a thoroughfare
than Second avenue is afflicted with
the weed habit. and while the crop of
weeds and grass Mayor McConochie toll
crates is outside the business district,
it is nevertheless in prominent part
of the town, and the business men
passing between their homes and up
town are constantly talking of the
5ndHeluIlS HeOIeCIeu COuulllOu VI
what is in reality one of the most de-
lightful streets in the city.
Popularity of the Soil
1t is not due to the fact that lower
Second avenue is not traveled-this
for the information of contemporaries
in rival cities-that weeds grow in
the street there. 1t seems to be re
suit of the peculiar condition of the
soil, whose fertility seems to nourish
vegetation despite the fact that We
hicles of all kinds are constantly run
ming over the street, and what would
seem to be more destructive the dead
ly current from the electric car of
two lines of electric cars passing with
the frequency of 7-minute intervals
do not in the least retard the mayors
growing crop. Unless harvester or,
at least lawn mower is sent over the
down town pavement pretty soon. the
people who travel there will become as
much confused as they do in other
parts of the city in lodging the "dead"
electric wire poles.
