Rock Island and p. S. McGlynn for Mo
line. In the course of his remarks the
latter speaker expressed his conviction
that eventually the cities of Rock Isl
and and Moline would become one. He
thought this inevitable, but it would be
consolidation, he maintained not an
nexation. At which President T.lling-
hast remarked that when that time
came in order TO show that there were
no feelings OF jealousy. Davenport
would come over with brass bands and
perform the ceremony of union. and

The elegant new excursion steamer
of the Acme Packet company, the "W.
w. named for Capt. Walter D. Wish

and Saturday evening at 100 O'Clock.
The boat was built during the winter
at Paducah. KY. and with the eXcep-
ton of the hull, is entirely new. The
new steamer is modelled after the pat
tern of the popular J. S. and through
a somewhat smaller boat. is quite sim
liar The texas is fitted for officers
quarters, and the entire hurricane deck
is protected from the sun by a canopy
top. On the upper deck are the Off
ces, and a refre2hment stand. with
large dancing floor in the cabin.
There is a wide promenade between
the railing and the cabin walls. The
steamer has a capacity of 1000 pas
sengers, and on its excursion yester-
day to Muscatine, that number of peo-
pie were on board. There are on the
decks in prominent closets, 1000 life
preservers, of the most improved style.
II was the delay in securing these
that caused the boat to be held a week
longer at St. Louis than had been eX-
pected. The new steamer has floor
space OF 5000 feet. Several hundred
electric lights are used for illuminat-
ing the boat. all colOrs of globes being

Moline From All ri.
rections.
LINE FENCES ALL DOWN
Danger of Herd Breaking Out of Mo-
line Stockade and Coming to
Rock Island.

Elks from all over the state of Hi
nois are headed for Moline and a STAN
Dede is looked for during about four
days. The rattle OF the hoofs on the
pavement can already be heard as they
come running in from the east. north
and south. As the fences are all down
between Rock Island and Moline there
seems TO be great danger Of a portion
Of the herd getting away and into this
city. Moline viii undoubtedly do her
best TO get them within a stockade,
but as the animal is fleet of foot mot
TO say tasD it is probable that the
herd will not be held under control.
EIks Are Welcome.
Although Rock Island has no stock
ade there are numerous Elks at large
here who will greatly enjoy a meeting
with their kind from all parts of the
state, and as those already here have
proved harmless by keeping on the
pavements and off from peple's gar
dens. the people have concluded that
they will welcome those who may get
away from Moline. In fact the
clatter of the hoof has become so mu-
steal to the ear that it now seems prob
able that d stockade will be construct
ed here to keep them from wandering
longer into far away pastures.
Reception This Evening.
The reception to the visiting mem
bers of the order will be held this ev
ening in the Manufacturers hotel. To
morrow the guests will be shown some
of the sights and in the afternoon there
will be parade. In the evening there
will be an open meeting at the First
Congregational church. the address be-
