Now that the city is to maintain an
athletic field for the use of the public
the conditions governing the use of
the field are beginning to be dis
cuSsed, although there is no prospect
of the field being available for use
for some time. One of the first
questions which has been raised by
those interested in the new play
ground is that of its use for Sunday
games. Whether or not the gates
will be opened to ball games and
other sports on Sunday. Moline new
er had the question fought out as
many cities have where there are
professional baseball teams so that
the present instance promises to de-
velop a great deal of interest and
perhaps feeling.
Indications lead to the belief that
Moline will be called upon to enter
tain vast crowd of visitors from out
of town points on the occasion of the
Woodman picnic and general good
time next Thursday. Communica-
tions from camps in towns within a
radius of 100 miles are to the effect
that large delegations will be on hand.
1t is stated that the C., b. d q. is al
ready assembling seventy coaches for
use on the Illinois division on that
day, that number of coaches having
been chartered for use from various
points, and will be distributed over
the lines for service on that occa-
sion.
Pending the selection of a site for
and the completion of a power house,
the Moline. East Moline & Watertown
railway will arrange to purchase pow
err in order to have the line in opera
ton as soon as work on the line and
rolling stock has been completed. 1t
is hoped to settle the location of the
power house in the near future, and
though several sites have been offered,
none has been seriously considered
on account of the price asked. The
new building which will serve the
company for the first year or two will
be of frame construction and will
necessarily be placed outside of the
fire limits.
Nels Pierce, the contractor, while
employed Wednesday evening in tax
ing measurements for the improve
ments on c. V. Swanson's store build
ing on Fifth avenue, backed into an
open space on the first floor and was
precipitated to the cellar below. No
bones were broken, but he received Il
general shaking up and was conveyed
to his home in buggy.

Mrs. Christine Carlson, through her
attorney, has taken preliminary
steps to secure a divorce from her
husband, Nels j. Carlson. the plas-
terer. She charges him with drunk
enness.
Tri-City Typographical union, 1O7,
Wednesday evening held an impor-
NSiI q
work, Labor day plans were discuss
ed. and it was decided to turn out in
a body i'm Davenport on that occa-
sion and take part in the great indus
trial pageant arranged, the printers
of the three cities joining in one
body. a fine of 81 will be imposed
upon all members who do not attend,
providing it cannot be shown that it
was impossible for them to do so,
either from being employed on pa
pers or other valid reason. The union
set aside $50 for incidental expenses
of the members that day. The strike
of the coal miners came up for dis
cussion and the sum of S25 was vot-
ed TO the strike fund for the benefit
of the men who are out.
