INSTALLED
AT TRI.C1TY GYMNASIUM

The apparatus for the new gymna-
STUN at the new car-house of the Tri-
City Railway company was set up in
the commodious quarters yester-
day and the employees will now be
able to exercise their muscle while
waiting to go out on their runs. The
set is a complete one and was pur-
chased from the Moline Turner's. 1t
includes parallel bars, horses, travel
ing rings, wall machines, and the
like. Shower and tub baths are con-
venient of access, and in general
and arrangement the gym
nasium excels that of many of the
schools, and colleges.

Choral society concert at the First
NJ. Z. church Friday evening. He
showed great love for music when
but baby, and especially paid great
attention to the violin.
He had his present instrument
when about year old. but never
treated it as a toy, and in conse-
quence the violin did not have To suf-
fer as usually toys do. When about
year and a half old he began to
make an effort to do as violinists do,
by putting music on the stand, turn
ing over the pages, etc, and of course
initiate playing. He made his violin
his companion, and many a night he
would take it to bed with him.
1t is great desire of Christian to
De man, and he feels indignant to
be called baby. He is not alone
bright in music. but is quite a think
er in every respect. He is of strong,
robust constitution and has great tai
ent in information and Tythm. If
Christian continues the strides he has
made in music he will soon have a
place among the child artists of the
country.

1t appears that there was some mis-
understanding about the basketball
game that was to have been played
with Davenport Tuesday. Rock Isl
and cancelled the game on account of
the one to be played with Augustana
college Saturday. 1t seems that the
cancellation was not made public in
Davenport, as quite number of Dav-
export people came over expecting to
see the game and were surprised to
find the building closed and no signs
of basketball game. They went
home, not knowing whether to blame
themselves or the managers. The
mistake was probably due to the fact
that there is no school this week in
Davenport and so no opportunity was
given to make the announcement in
time.

The discovery of covellite ore in the
Gibraltar, a mining claim situated
near the abandoned townsite OF
Gilman, on Big creek, will be no
surprise to the people who are ac-
quainted with that country, for it has
long been considered one of the rich
est mineral regions in the entire
country, by mining men. As to the
reliability OF the reports from that
claim, there can be no doubt. The
men who own the property are TAX
ing the matter very coolly, though
much elated over their good fortune.
The discovery of covellite mineral in
the Gibraltar will do more to bring
a railroad into this country this sum
mer than anything that has yet hap
pened in this entire country. A rail
road cannot be much longer delayed
when such prospects develop into
such remarkably rich propositions as
the Gibraltar.

Very few remember the existence OF

If 1T were not for the weather many
people would have nothing to con
verse about. But the weather fur
nishes something to find fault with,
and kick and roar about-somethipg
that wont fight back-and the conse.
quence is that they can make all
kinds of disparaging remarks about
it, and condemn it in severe terms,
and get credit for being quite wise

II GOVERNOR Richards could only
read the fiattering obituary notices
that have been written about him, in
every part Of the state, he would be
surprised as well as gratified at the
estimation in which he was held by
everyone. The trouble about such
things is they cone too late. There
were times, no doubt, when the road
was long and he was weary with the
effort to travel it. If, at such a time,
he could have been sur OF the love
and esteem Of his fellow citizens, it
would have lightened his burden very
much. The way we have of reserv-
ing all of these nice things we think
about "A nan until after he is dead is
decidedly discouraging, and "A man
may go to his grave under the i'm
preston that his services were not
appreciated. II ought to be- a crime
not to let a public man know that
what he is, and what he is doing,
meets with our hearty endorsement.
Such an expression of sentiment
should never be beneath the dignity
Of any good citizen, and the papers
of the state should not be at all lack
ward in commencing such II man as
Governor Richards was while he is
able to appreciate it.
