The plans. which were drawn

Young Men for Presidents.

For the near future. at least. the
great political parties intend to show
preference to the young men as candi-
dates for the presidency, their expert
ence with the present one, who broke
all records in youthfulness, having been
highly satisfactory. The experience
with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, ex
tending over half a century, has also
been highly satisfactory to everyone,
and the record of cures of stomach,
liver. bowel and kidney disorders es-
tablished by it, far exceeds that of any
other medicine. You cannot sleep, eat,
work or enjoy life if any of these
organs are weak or diseased. That S
why we urge you to try a bottle today
and good health will be your sure re-
ward. 1t cures poor appetite, sleep
lessness, biliousness, costiveness. kid
ney troubles, dyspepsia, indigestion,
and malaria. fever and ague. Insist

DIPLOMA
$500

Mr.. Warren came to Rock Island
when a boy. from New York, his first
school experience being in Long Isl
and. where he was born. He attended
the Second ward school for a number
of years. and when the schools were
crowded he attended school in var
ious improvised school rooms in the
city Among the various places which
were used for school purposes during
that period were the old seminary
building on the site of the old cracker
factory. where Rosenfield Bros plumb
ing shop now is; the basement of the
old First NJ E. church, and also of the
old Baptist church. Other rooms were
also made use of for school purposes.
These places were poorly adapted for
school work. and it was a very poor
system of school buildings which ex-
listed in Rock Island in those days.
Mr. Warren loves to tell OF the days
of his attendance at the original Sec
ond ward school. and of the activi-
ties OF his schoolmates there and in
the other schools he attended in the
city.

IRVING SCHOOL IN RAPIDLY GROWING DISTRICT

The original building which stood on
the site of the present Irving school,
at Ninth avenue and Twelfth street.
was erected in 1876. 1t was first Occu-
pied for school purposes in November.
1877. with four teachers in charge
Miss Lucy A. Taylor. principal: Miss
Lille Murphy. fifth and sixth grades;
Miss Ida Phillips Mrs Ida Lundy. now
principal of Longfellow SCHOOL,. third
and fourth grades. and Miss Randeline
Requa. later principal OF Washington
school, and who died in 1900 while in
that position. in charge of the first and
second grades.
This building had four rooms above
the ground. and two basement rooms
which were later equipped and used
for school rooms. making a total of
six school rooms. The school very
soon became too small for the needs
of the school district, but no action was
taken toward an enlarged building,
until in 1891. when the building was
destroyed by fire during the night of
Nov >. The cause of the fire was
never discovered. and its origin still
remains q mystery. The day follow
ing the fire the school board held a
meeting for the purpose of making ar
engagements for the accommodation of
the pupils of the destroyed building.
The board accepted a proposition for
the rental of the old Davenport home
stead for school purposes until the No.
G. or Irving school, as it was later NAM
ed. could be rebuilt. 1t was decided AZ
once to rebuild on the same site, and
plans were submitted by several ar
chitects, those of f. S. Hammatt, of
Davenport. being finally selected.
Has Eight Rooms.
The contract for the building was
awarded 10 SEWERS & Anderson, the
contract price. not including heating
and seating. being $15.745. The build
ing as it now stands has eight rooms,
and an office for the principal. which.
if necessary. could be converted
into a school room. 1t is one of
the most conveniently arranged build
ings in the city Ii was completed in
1892. and was occupied in September
of that year When the building was
rebuilt the late Dr. c. c. Carter was
president of the board of education of
the city.
There have only been two principals
in the history of the Irving school.
Miss Lucy Taylor. the first principal.
now teaching at the Eugene Field
school held the Office from the time of
the opening of the building in 1877 I'M
til June. 1881, when she was succeeded
by the late Miss Sa%ah Ann Kirkpat-
rick. who held the office up to the time
of her death last month. The building
is now in charge of Miss Leonora With !
