G CROWD SEES THE GAME

The ARGUS baseball bulletin from
Evansville last night brought delight
co the heart of the Rock Island fans.
The administering of a shut-out in the
opening game of the season is be-
ginning that augurs well for the pros
poets of the local aggregation in the
race for the pennant.
Mayor Covert pitched the first ball
over the plate. The game was well
played, although Evansville lost two
runs in the third on bad coaching
Manager Tate rearranged the inield
for the game, Cope playing third,
Hoy second, and Bates, who was
picked up at Evansville, short. Mil
Ter, of St. Joe, has been signed for
pitcher. Fifteen hundred people were
in attendance. The score:

PLOW COMPANY WILL
REMODEL OFFICES.

The Rock Island Plow company
contemplates a still further extension
during the present season, in addition
to the large building recently referred
to in these columns.
An increase in the Office force has
become necessary and more Office
room is required. To meet this need
plans are now preparing for a remod-
cling and extension of the office build
ing. 1t will be extended 90 feet to
the south, nearly doubling it's capaci-
ty, and the lower floor fitted up more
deliberately for display rooms. The
plans for the new factory building are
not yet completed.

Kansas City and Chicago shall run by
the way of Clinton and Davenport.
Rock Island, however, which always
feels sggrieved of late whenever Dav-
export or Moline gets something that
doesn't come to her, is not going to
allow it..
Rock Island is not saying what ii
proposes to allow or what it proposes
to do. 1t is asking nothing that Dav-
export or any other city might not
reasonably ask if placed in the same
position. and it is not seeking TO deny
Davenport any of the privileges that
may come to it in the same connec-
ton. As far as the Milwaukee road
is concerned it is, so 10 speak, up to
it to say whether it estimates the
commerce and good will of the cities
on this side of the river of sufficient
value to run its Kansas City line this
way or whether 1t is so indifferent to
these cities and the opportunities they
present as to 60 around them entirely
in order that the aceomm odations in
Davenport may be little more de-
sirable. That is the sum and SUBJ
stance of the matter as it is today.

FIRES DURING YEAR 1900.
Property Damage OF SI01,I95, High
School Being Greatest Loss.

school Being Greatest Loss.
The total damage by fire in Rock
Island during 1900 was $191, 195, ac-
cording to the report of Chief c. N.
Hastings, the most costly fire being
that which destroyed the high school
The value of the property involved
was 1853 SIS and the insurance 1868 :
$50. The department responded to
"a alarms, three of which were false.
Sixty-four of the alarms were sent by
telephone and 10 through the alarm
system. Fifty-three of the fires were
in frame and 10 in brick buildings.
The greatest number occurred be-
tween April and May IL. when SO
barns were damaged, having been set
on fire by the 9-year- old Achtermann
boy, who was sent to an industrial
school.
The chief recommends a new indie
pendent ire alarm system. This will
likely be provided during the sum-
mer, the council having accepted the
bid of the Gamewell company. The
contract will be executed as soon as
al appropriation has been made.
Chief Hastings states that but one
mem Der of the department was dis
ciplined by dismissal. and urges that
merit alone should be considered in
the appointment of men to positions
in the service. He recommends that
the department be increased so that
there shall be four men to each appa-
ratus. He accords due praise to AS
sistant Chief Frey for efficient help in
directing the work of the department.

OPERA is ABLY sung.
Pretty Performance OF The Pir'
ates of Penzance" at Har.
per's Theatre.
LOCAL TALENT DOES ITSELF PROUD
Principals Supported by a Strong
Chorus-To Be Repeated
Tonight.

Gilbert & Sullivan's tuneful opera,
The Pirates of Penzance, as sung
at Harper's theatre last evening by
local talent, was an agreeable surprise
in many respects, the performance as
a whole exceeding the anticiPations OF
those who went to witness what they
supposed would be an average anna
teur entertainment.
The principals, all of whom were
admirably drilled and fitted to their
parts. were supported by a splendid
chorus, large in mum bers and strong
in voice. The opera abounds ia
catchy choruses. and these were made
the most of, with results that should
be gratifying to Prot. G Rawson
Wade, under whose direction the pro-
duction was staged.
The warm weather undoubtedly de-
tracted from the attendance, which
was not as big as the entertainment
merited, and the house should be
filled tonight at the second and last
performance of the opera.

Characters In Capable Hands.
Mrs. Reidy was an ideal Mabel
adapting herself to the character both
in voice and acting in q manner that
won her the hearty applause of the
audience, which seemed to want her
to repeat every mum bef in which she
appeared. She added feeling and ex-
preston to her part giving it a flavor
of genuinepess that was charming
Mrs. Reidy has pleasing and powerful
soprano voice that nenever tires of
hearing. Mrs. Reynolds shared the
honors of the evening with Mrs
Reidy. her interpretation of the diff
cult role of Ruth being graceful
and artistic, and allowing ample range
for the display of her beautiful rich
contralto, of which she has masterful
control. The other ladies' parts, the
Edith of Mrs. Casey. the Isabel of
Mrs. McHugh. and the Kate of Miss
Bogue. Were in hands that gave to
them the desired finish.
Keith Collins was bold and dash
ing pirate king and was in fine voice.
Mr.. Maui sang and acted the slave Of
duty to perfection, win Collins was
excellent as Samuel. and Mr. Stewart
led the police brigade like an old-time
chief, Mr.. Wade, as the major-general
being simply immense.
The instrumental music was fur
nished by Petersen's orchestra, with
Mrs. G. Rawson Wade as directress.
The opera was neatly costumed
throughout. 1t was presented under
the auspices of the Amateur Ladies'
Musical society.

Some of the 1000 people objected
to what they considered the unwar-

rushed it to the lake, where several

QUIET PREVAILS.
NO EXCITING FEATURES IN CON.
NEcTloN WITH STRIKE OF
STEEL WORKERS.
CONDITIONS ARE PECULIAR

Repair and the Real Contest Will
Begin When Manufacturers Decide
to Resume-Surprising Cut in Prices
by the Combine in the Face of a
General Shutdown.
Pittsburg, July 3.-The second day
Of the strike of the sheet steel and
steel hoop workers Of the Amalgamat-
ed association opened without inter-
esting or exciting features. It was
evident that neither side anticipated
early developments, as there was no
unusual activity about the combine
offices and the utmost quiet prevailed
at the headquarters of the workers.
AS President Shaffer remarked, the
conditions Of the present strike We're.
peculiar and no decided results were
expected for 10 days or two weeks.
BY that time the manufacturers hav-
ing all necessary repairs at their mills
completed would be anxious to resume
operations. The struggle would then
begin in earnest. The belief is quite
general, however. that the real test
will not come until the close Of the
hot weather and the general resump-
ton of business in the early fall and
in the meantime it is thought that the
conflicting interests will see their way
clear to recede from the present posi-
tions. That President Shaffer Of the
Amalgamated association Is preparing
for the rainy day which may come II
the strike is prolonged indefinitely is
evident from the circular mailed to the
association lodges. The circular d.
rects the lodges to lay assessments
upon their members. the money to be
used for the relief of such members
Of the association as might be out OF
work.
Outside the combine plants there Is
little apprehension over the situation.
The announcement that the sheet
combination had cut prices occasioned
surprise, as 1t is known that all the
mills have been busy and many orders
remain unified. The heaviest cut Is on

The advisory board of the Amalga

called to consider the situation, but 9
meeting will be held soon If the
American Sheet Steel company shows
no disposition to reopen negotiations
President Shaffer SAYS the call for an
other conference will not come from

ultimatum of that organization was
