PLENTY OF WORK
FOR ALL LABOR
No Occasion for Idle Men in ROCK
Island This Sea-
son.

superintendent of one of the large
construction companies remarked re-
Gently that if there was an idle man
in the whole city Mt was because he
did not want to work. Said the same
gentleman: I'VE are now paying So
a day to our laborers for pick and
shovel work, for which in ordinary
years we have paid but $1.50. In
some instances where we are behind
on our contracts we are paying as
high as 1925 day to secure the
number OF workmen required"
The latter figure is a record-break-
er for this city as wages paid to an
unskilled workmen. Every large
construction company in this part of
the country is now short of help
and taking on every man who applies
for work. There is also the same
scarcity of artisans i'm all lines. Car
penters, bricklayers and stonemasons
are not to be had upon short notice
at any price.
Farmers in the country are also eX-
periencing great difficulty in securing
help in their fields and as harvest
time is approaching they are consid-
erably worried over the situation.

1nfielder Hunter Hill arrived in
the city last evening, much to the
surprise of the local fans, and stated
that he had been released. He says
that he has been wanting to get away
for some. time. He finally told Man
ager Donnelly that he could not re-
main longer, and he was allowed to
go. 1t had been known here for some
time that lie was in receipt of good
offers 10 play in the Texas league.
Hill says, however. that he is going
to return to Texas and take rest.
He does not intend to play any more
ball this year. He and Mrs. Hill, who
is in the city, Will leave at once for
Austin.
Hill has shown himself to be n fast
player and he has many admirers in
this city who regret exceedingly
that his connection with the team
has been severed. While. of course.
he has not been able to please every
body. his work has given gen
eral satisfaction. Graham will be
kept at third, where he played yes

From Hot To Cold.

Dysentery is prevalent everywhere
in summer and is due to miasmatic
poisons, and begins abruptly with in
fiammation of the mucous lining of
the large bowel. In America the dis
ease is common, but properly treated
does not result as seriously as in the
tropics. Perry Davis, Painkiller is the
best known remedy and the most eff
cacious in the treatment of dyson
terry.

Wandering down the street, and
thinking of Santos Dumont and
Heald's burnt leather goods at
one and the same time, l was
jostled into the commonplace by
the question of q friend. "What
do you think of the Civic League?"
/ answered adroitly, and passed
on to Flanagan's. At the Arc
Light corner, where men of leis-
ure do most congregate and grave
ly expectorate in company, lit
tie group was discussing the same
organization. There is no doubt
whatever about the fact that the
Civic League has caused u local
stir, and there is also no doubt
about the fact, as ! remarked last
week, that the effort is one of the
most praiseworthy that could be
imagined, and each and every one
who Commends, must be prepared
TO give practical evidence of good
will. ! will show you why. The
few ladies gathered together TO do
good, are the leavcn to improve
the mass, but the powers of re-
action are never sleeping, and
License in the name of Freedom
stands ready, alert, for the falling
of the edifice of Well-doing now
in process of erection, and is pre-
pared to rush in whooping his ex-
ultation, and do his savage war
dance. Remember Tammany,
and know that the tiger never
sleeps! Correct organization
means health; our present state
means putrefaction. The force
that raised up humble fishermen
to be leaders of mankind, is the
same force that inspires the ladies
of this Civic League. Let one
and all aid in cherishing it. The
powers of savagery and degenera-
ton are always in solid phalanx,
