and Ntzhugh,.
IN EFFECT NEXT MoNDA'
HosteIry to Be Reprinted, Remod-
eIed Inside and Other
wise Improved.

Negotiations that have been pend
ing for some time were completed last
evening, as a result of which Messrs
j. L. Montrose and Charles McHugh,
proprictors of the Harper in this city
and the National at Peoria. become
the lessees for term of 10 years of
the Rock Island house. Proprietor w.
o. Negus. of the latter hCstelry, has
been in poor health for some time.
and he is thus relieved of the respon-
sibility of directing the hosiery in
order that he may take much need
ed rest.
Change Next Monday.
The change in control of the Rock
Island occurs next Monday morning.
when Charles McHugh will take up
the managerial duties in addition to
those at the Harper. Mr.. Negus pro-
poses to go to ColfaN, Iowa, for the
purpose OF recuperation. Mr.. Negus
has already let the contract for the
repaiRting of the exterior of the ho-
tel, and will also make such addition
al repairs and improvements as are
necessary. and Messrs. Montrose and
McHugh will make extensive improve
mcnts in the interior. The house will
be thoroughly overhauled, a number
of new bath rooms added, the bar re-
furnished complete, and the house
otherwise put in modern shape. No
change is anticipated in the personnel
of the employees.
The Rock Island house is one of the
most widely known hotels in this sec
tiOn, and the aim of the new proprie-
tors will be to keep il to the best
standard of hotels of its class.

Rockford ball sluggers went up
against Case yesterday. and as with
some lawyers the Case was their
downfall. The final verdict was
to 1 in favor of the opposition.
Four puny hits and single abortive
score were all the champions could
harvest, and if the performance is re-
peated with any regularity their pen
nant pole, instead of proudly throw
ing out the coveted bunting to the
northern Illinois breeze. will moulder
away in innocuous desuetude. For
six long innings the big men toiled,
but no score was their portion and
three skinny hits was their best-and
then it rained. Umpire Conn was re-
lertless and called them to the fray
after wait of Is minutes and the
grind was resumed with the score FIVE
for Rock Island and large and sym
metrical cipher for the eX-champs.
Not until the ninth inning did the
merciless Donnellyites allow & them
even the proyerbial grain OF comfort,
when Pollock scored ON Rehsamen's
slow return of Hess hit. a.
