MISS MATTE JONES TO SING
Gifted Young Vocalist to be Heard In Con-

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 a 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 its 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.

sARGES. STILL IN THE WAY.
Steamboats, Cannot Land at the New
Warehouse.

Steamboats, Cannot Land at the New
Warehouse.
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 it's
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
irg of sand and stone barges. Even
Capt. John Streckfus, the owner of the
warehouse, cannot land his pack
cts there, and says he will not at
tempt to do SO until other quarters
are secured for the sand barges.
Twenty-fourth 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 they would not take up
the territory that belongs to the
steam boat com panies. for whose ben
eft largely the levee was improved,
as they are now doing. with the re-
suit that the heavy wagons. driving
to and from the birges, have ruined
the pavement between Eighteenth
and Nineteenth streets. That such
extreme partiality to the barges
should be shown by the city in the
present instance cannot be under
stood.

Sylvan Steel Works Improvement to Cost
$4,000.
1t is said that the Repu bile Steel
and Iron company has decided to
make the Sylvan steel plant one of
the leading mills of the company. At
the present time there are 75 men en-
gagged in repairing and charging the
mill and improving the power plant.
Two Hyde tubular boilers of the latest
design have been installed. which is in
addition to the ordinary power plant
of the company.
Two Louth furnaces are being built
and they are said to be of the very
best pattern. One will burn coal, the
other gas. A 50-ton track scales,
three new hot beds and set of 1S-inch
rolls and a new engine very much
more powerful than the old one are
also being installed. The new ma
chinery is expected to increase the
output of the plant % per cent. 1t
is sad the improvements will cost
$4,000.
