Grent Games For buffalo.


The Pan-American exposition man.

exposition in the matter of sports. Ev-
cry effort is being made to get the best
athletes of the world to meet on the
grounds at Buffalo.
1t is probable that tha A. A. U. cham
pionships will be contested there. Two
days will be set aside for them. Col
lege teams will play baseball and foot
ball. All the tennis champions of the
different states will be brought togeth-
er in an interstate match.
Caledonian games, in which all the
Scotch athletes will take part, are be-
ing planned, and prizes too attractive
to ignore will be offered.
There will be no department of sports
neglected. Gaelic and association foot
ball will be seen on the same field
where the college giants will meet
Water sports will not be neglected
There will be swimming champion,
ships under the sanction Of. the A. A
u, polo, fly casting, diving and any
thing else in the water line that the
promoters can devise.
Shooting over the traps, at targets
with rife and revolver will bring han
dlers of the gun from all parts of the
world. Lacrosse, cycling, gymnastics
cricket and bowling will be we'll cared
for in the way of prizes. Even croquet
and racket, nice ladylike games, will
be fairly treated. There is no branch

WHERE KNOX ACTED ON A LICENSE
AND CHARLEY PARKER'S ZEAL

The Union thinks that by call
ing attention of the public to
single case where the council,
under Mayor Medill's admins
tration, took up the matter of in
vestigating the notorious Parker
dive, still aourishing on Market
square, it can prove that Mr..
Medill revoked no saloon licenses
while he was mayor. The fact of
the matter is that Mr.. Medill de-
prived two disreputable saloons
of licenses, and one of the acts for
which he received the greatest
credit was the refusal to grant,
in the face of a remonstrance of
those affected, a license for the
establishment of saloon on Elm
street, near the South Park
chapel.
When Mr.. Knox succe eded Mr..
Medill in the Office of mayor,
however, the license was granted.

which it was the intention of the cities

in a manner that is wholly within the

difficulty in breaking up the arrange
ment. 1t was not entered till the
best corporation lawyers of the coun-
try had worked it out, and it will
stand" OF course, that settles the
matter, aud we are sorry that we
spoke. As long as Mr.. Blair operated
his fine work here for the Davenport
side it is natural that the voice of the
oracle should be sounded from the
Iowa shore.
II we may be permitted to say just
one thing more it will be that with
out committing ourselves as to what
the people of Rock Island think
either of the legality or advantage of
what has been transpiring with refer
ence to the new road and bridge OF
late. there is no reason why Daven-
port should not be just as the Demo
crat represents it-most serenely con-
tented.

FINISHING TOUCHES ON
CLUB MINSTREL SHOW

Beginning next Monday there will
be nightly rehearsals for the Rock
Island Club minstrels to be presented
at Harper's theatre the evening of
April II and at the Burtis in Daven-
port the following night. Daring the
past week two important changes
with reference to the direction of the
entertain ment have been made, Prof.
C.. F. Toenniges, leader of Strasser's
orchestra, having been engaged as
musical director, and Frank McNish,
the we'll known minstrel, for stage
manager, Messrs. Grabbe and Jack
son, who were first secured for these
positions, finding that they would be
unable to perform the duties owing
to the calls on their time by other
work.
Special stage decorations have been
ordered from Chicago, not particle
of house scenery to be used in the
first part, in which all but the end
men will appear in evening dress.
There are to be 40 people on the
stage. Particular attention has been
given to the drilling of the chorus,
which will be heard in connection
with all but one of the eight songs to
be rendered in the first part.
Among the vocal numbers will be a
sextet from the opera, ''FoTy CUTLER, "
to be done by six of the leading vocal
lists of Rock Island.
The ballads and "eoon" songs are
all late and it is promised there will
be no moss on the jokes that will be
sDruup.

| A well founded report fixes the tip;e
of the removal of the Rock Island g
entire freight business to the Haw-
| thorn yard at two weeks from the
present or about April Is. This will
mean the Immediate exodus from this
| city of over three hundred persons, q
loss that will be keenly felt by our
merchants. Of course, it will be i'm
possible for railroad men to take their
families to Moline before houses are
constructed for them, but they will
have to find temporary quarters for
themselves. There will be quartered
here not over eight switching crews
and dozen passenger crews. The
hopeful feature in the prospect is the
purchase of expensive real estate by
the road, which is a pretty good as
surance that the property will be util-
lied in some way.
Part of the coal chute is being taken
away, portion equal to the length of
one car, and one will be erected at Mo-
line. The old roundhouse, it is hint
ed, will soon be RACED.

quired by the company extends for SIS
miles from Clinton, Iowa, to Daven-
port, Rock Island and Moline. 1t i 5
fully equipped with rolling stock and
has fine roadbed and is a complete
