been connected with the paper for
some time and has by faithful service
risen from the position of reporter to
that of city editor. becomes associate

for number of years and until last

ton with it to embark in other un-

ROCK ISLAND HOUSE TO BE
RUN ON EUROPEAN PLAN

Messrs. Montrose and McHugh have
definitely decided To change the Rock
Island house, of which they recently
took charge, to be operated upon the
European plan, making the altera-
tionS in the interior arrangements
previously referred To in this conncc-
tion by The Argus. The change will
not be in effect, however, for about
sixty days, and the alterations, it is
thought, will by that time be com
plete.
The bar is now closed and will be
completely refurnishcd. Back of it
an addition will be built so that a
ladies' cafe may be installed there.
The dining room on the second floor
will be done away with and this part
of the building probably arranged for
sample rooms and the cafe Will be
placed in the room west of the bar
room. This will practically complete
the extensive improvements that the
new managers have in mind.

The origin of Pyroernphx.

About century ago an artist named
Cranch was standing one day in front
of a fire in his home at Administer.
Over the fireplace was an oaken man
telpieCe and it occurred to Cranch that
this eXpansc of wood might be i'm
proved by a little ornamentation. He
picked up the poker, heated it red hot
and began to sketch in a bold design.
The result pleased him so much that
he elaborated his work and began to at
tempt other fire pictures on panels of
wood. These met with a ready sale,
and Cranch soon gave all his time to
his new art. This was the beginning Of
what is now known as typography.
The poker artist of today uses many
different shaped tools and has special
furnace in which they are kept heated.
The art has been elaborated greatly.
The knots, curls and fibers of the wood
are often worked into the design and
delicate timing produced by scorchiDg
the panel.

cccdings were begun by their father,
Stephen Archer. of Moline. and Judge
Parmcntcr decided that the training
school is the best place for them.

Would Locate Here.

The only other business matter of
any Importance taken up at last ev-
ening'S session was the discussion of
a communication from party who
claims to be about to organize a COM
pany capitalized at 100000 to manu-
facture woven wire fencing. The let
ter described the sort of building
that will be needed and stated that
it would be highly desirable that $25,-
600 worth of stock be placed in this
city in case the firm decides to locate
here. No action was taken on the
matter. for with the carnival on the
hands of the association il was
thought best not to take up anything
else for the present.

it was due to that alderman's haste
that the ordinance that was found de-
fective was drawn up, while he. Mr..
Scott, was spending his two weeks
vacation out of town. The instru-
ment was drawn up by the mayor and
city engineer, to which fact some of
its imperfections may be attributed
