NOW ENTER PENNSYLVANIA.

FraternaI TrIbunes Are Licensed In That
state
Permission to organize lodges of
the Fraternal Tribunes in the state of
Pennsylvania has just been received
by Supreme Secretary Rexdale at the
home Office of the society in Rock
Island in the certificate of the insur-
ance commissioner.
1t is gratifying to learn that the
Fraterual Il ibunes. a society in which
Rock Island citizens take Just pride
has received the unqualified indorse-
ment of the Pennsylvania insurance
department. The plan and condition
of the order and the high personal
standing of its supreme officers are
such that full confidence is felt ia its
future growth and management. The
society has also recently begun opera
tions In California. and has state
deputy, Walter A. Way, located at
Los Angeles.
The state deputy for Pennsylvania
will be Capt. w. A. Parkinson. of To-
ronto. Can, for many years a promi-
nent field manager for the Indepen-
dent Order of Foresters. lie has been
in the work of the Fraternal Tribunes
for the past year and half and in
that time has had splendid success in
Illinois, and has made many friends
for himself ana the order. Capt
Parkinson has an extensive acquaint-
ance in the eastern states.

Moline for all passenger and perhaps
all freight business. There appears
to be strong probability that the
company will soon utilize the proper
ty on the river front in Moline, pur-
chased some time ago. as "a site for
passenger station and il will be
reached by double track through
this city and Moline along the D., r.
l. & n. w. right of way. In addition
TO the advantages to be derived by n
double track, greater speed can be
maintained along the river than on
the present line.
The q is showing decided DISPOSE
ton to economic in the different de-
partments in this city. In the neigh
borhood OF Is men have been laid off
in various places about town during
the past week. avowedly because of
the advent of the dull summer season,
but obviously for other reasons.
Just what the object may be does not
easily appear, for local officials are
very reticent on the subject.
Engineer Howard Dempsey has
gone with his family on a visit TO
Chicago. and Engineer George Battles
has his place on the Monmouth local.
Engineer McNeill. who had the
night switch engine which was taken
off during thu week, is now on the
East Moline local.
That Deceptive Sign.
1t has been pertinently suggested
that. since the Northwestern road has
severed the last connecting link with
the tri-cities in cutting off the traffic
arrangements with the d K. 1. & n
w, it is meet and proper that the
electric sign that illuminates the Sew
enteenth street passenger station in
the day time should be removed.

A FINE IMPROVEMENT
Some Of the Details of the Plans
for the Rock Islands New
Passenger Station.
THREE BUILDINGS TO BE ERECTED
Site Will Soon Be Cleared and
Work Will Begin at Once--
Notes of the Rail.

The last house on the site of the
new Rock Island passenger station
on Fifth avenue has been sold and its
demolition begun. In about 10 days
the coEpany will begin the laying of
the foundation. which will require
probably between four and six weeks
for completion. Volk 4 Co. will be-
Gin the erection OF the building as
soon as the foundation is done. The
purpose of the company is To have
the main buildings in this city and
Davenport under roof before cold
weather and in shape TO finish early
in the spring.
The new passenger station will be
located west of the present structure
and far enough to enable it to be
built without interfering with con-
Quoting the business as at present.
The present baggage and express
room. however. will be demolished
and temporary one erected. Three
separate buildings will be put up. &C
cording to the completed plans, which
were in this city during the week in
the hands of William Harley, assist
ant in the chief engineers Office at
Chicsgo. The passenger station will
be the central Building with a lunch
room in a separate structure at the
west and the baggage and express
building at the east. Tine pas. enger
station proper will be long bu Id
ing. running parallel with the tracks
and connected with the lnnch room
and the baggage room by long shed
or covered sidewalk bordering the
tracks on the north The main room
in the central building will have n
ceiling about % feet in height with
the ticket office projecting at the
north. The gentlemen's rooms will
be at the east and the ladies' rooms at
the west. The baggage and express
rooms will, of course, be on the
ground floor of the east building, and
the second floor will contain the
offices OF the operator, train dispatch
ers and trainmaster. The material
used in all the buildings will be La
Sale pressed brick, buff in color.
The roof over sheds and all will be
tile. South of The station will be
q grass plat parallel with the avenue
and tapering to point az the east
end. The difference in the elevation
of the pavement and the tracks will
probably render terracing necessary.
The entire Improvement when com
Pleted will probably have cost the
the road in the neighborhood of &c.,
600.
