OAK PARK IMPROVERS
An Improvement League Formed to Look
After Part of the Third
Ward


If DR.. w. F. Nye, the newly elected al
derman Of the third ward, shows any
signs of being backward about securing
much needed improvements for his baili-
wick, his constituents will be hot after
him with sharp stick. 1t is the Oak
Park Improvement league, organized a
few days ago, which intends to do the
prodding whenever occasion requires.
Among the improvements which the
league will insist upon next season will
be the paving of Sixth avenue N from
the Fifth street bridge to Humboldt ave-
nue.. The league will see to the curb and
gutter and street crossing needs of the
Oak Park end of the ward.
Alderman Nye has assured the repre-
sentative citizens of the league that the
third ward will get it's full share of ap-
preparations for next year if he has to
move heaven and earth to accomplish that
end.
The officers Of the league are: Presi-
dent, r. S. Tomlinson; vice president,
Fred Kraft; secretary and, treasurer, c..
J. Gutgesell; attorney, c.. J. lockwood.
The members Of the executive committee
are w. c. Stone, M. F. Stillwagon, L. R.
Steinmitz, Frank DANES and F. e. Har-
denberg.

In beaten egg and again rolled in crumbs.
After this allow them to stand at least
an hour before frying.
Never cook canned vegetables in the

can an hour before they are to be used,
pour contents into a colander, let the liquor
drain off, and allow them to stand in

All Pleased with Season In Rock Island
but the KnOcker.
The baseball situation in Rock ISL
land was never more favorable than
it is at the present time. All admir-
ers of the game are well pleased with
the showing made by the team and no
complaints are heard from a finan-
cial standpoint. On the contrary, all
those who have taken an interest in
the furtherance of the game in Rock
Island are enthusiastic to enter upon
the plans for another season.
While as has been said on former
occasions Rock Island is not a city
whose team must be constantly win
ming to command support. there ex-
lists the indisputable desire at all
times to see the club successful and
it is the intensity of this disposition
which amounts in certain form To
patriotism that makes the game what
il is. But Rock Island is not quit
ter. If the team does not win one
day it may the next. and no one is
going to give up and stop going to
the games on any account as long as
first rate article of ball is being pre-
scented.
Fortunately Rock Island has among
it's baseball lovers very few chronic
faultfinders, and less of what are
known as knockers" Of the latter
there are of course a few, but they
are growing fewer and of less infiu-
ence on the game each year. They

Rockford club pays its bills, as it al
