! Our readers viii be pleased to know
that the proposed plan TO publish a
tEeE. Up-tO-date atlas of Rock Island
county is meeting with the encourage
mcnt and support which Will no doubt
, enable tae publishers 10 complete this
Important work The actual necessity
of a comprehensive atlas and farm
plat book should De fully appreciated
and indorsed by every progressive cit
izun of this county.
The work viii be under the direct
supervision of Mr.. HuCbinger. presi-
dent of the Iowa Publishing company
Of Davenport, Iowa. whose ability as
a practical expert civil engineer is not
only known and recognized in the tri-
cities and vicinity but throughout the
central west. J. w. Lloyd. represen-
tative of the Iowa Publishing COM
pany is now in the city looking after
subscriptions, etc, for the new atlas
and should receive every support pos
sible TO insure grand success of the
work. To show the high regard and
estimation of other works published
by the Iowa Publishing company, we
append the following letter:
Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. 81. 1905.
Gentlemen: 1t affords me great
pleasure to say a word concerning
| The Iowa State Atlas of 1904, of
which the historical department was
fortunate in securing an early copy.
Having copies of its only lineal pre-
decessor, the Andream Atlas of 1875,
and of our county and state histories,
| am able to compare this great work
with all that have been gone before.
| We also have similar publications
| from other states in the middle west
| In comparison with these, / do not hes
| itate to say that it is far ahead of the
best-it leads them all It's maps. por-
| traits, views of public buildings, etc,
are maryels of the engraver's art.
| These are so numerous that no por-
| ton of the state has been neglected.
| The maps - -0wa counties are the
| best that have ever come under my
obseryation-fa better. | believe, than
hitherto published. The descriptive,
historical. statistical. scientific and
educational notes relating TO the state,
are so full and complete as to meet
all the needs supplied by the most
comprehensive works of reference. 1t
is. in fact, a complete cyclopedia of in
! formation relating TO our state, and de-
serves a prominent place in every pub
| lie library.
One of the best thoughts in connec-
ton with this work is the fact that
the publishers have lately announced
their intention of issuing a cheaper
edition. in order that il may 20 into
school Libraries. and thus disseminate
the useful information it contains
more widely among the people. This
| is not only an excellent idea from the
purely business standpoint, but it is
pubic spirited end patriotic as well
I congratulate the editor and pub
fishers upon the success which has at
tended them thus far, sincerely hop
ing that they may be well rewarded
for the enterprise which led TO this
great undertaking
Very sincerely yours.

CRACK ATHLETES
ONE CLUB THAT HOLDS
81 CHAMPIONSHIPS.
An Irish Association Is the Best
Equipped Amateur Organization in
the United States-Foot Races
From a Few PAGES to a Mile and a
Half-An Round Athletic Events.

New York, Feb. 4.-Lovers of ath-
letics will have a chance TO witness
the cream of the athletic world in
competition in Madison Square garden
tonight, when the Greater New York
Irish A. A. will hold its annual ath-
letic carnival of sports. The associa-
ton lis probably the largest and best
equipped amateur athletic club in the
country. There is hardly a member
of it but is personally interested in
sports, and they hold among them
no less than q championships.
Among the events to be contested
tonight are 300-yard handicap run,
a 600-yard novice race, a 1000-yard
handicap run and a mile and a half
handicap race. Then there will be a
running high jump, handicap; an $50
yard relay race for school boys; a q
mile handicap relay race for four
men teams; throwing the 56-pound
weight from a stand; putting the Is
pound shot: the 10-mile run for the
A. A. U. championship a one-mile
intercollegiate relay race from scratch
and game of old Gaelic football.
Probably the most interest centers
in the 1o-mile championship run, the
winner of which will receive a dia-
mond-studded gold medal donated by
John d. Crimmins. All the best dis
tance runners in the amateur ranks,
including Champion Joyce and E. p.
Carr. will start in the race for this
prize. The carnival will be open to
all registered athletes, whether mem
bers of the athletic clubs or not. The
entry list is the largest in the history
of indoor meets In the metropolis and
unless all signs go astray several new
records will be established.

London, Feb. 4.-The English press
Ambassador Choate, announcement
of whose intended retirement has
been received with a feeling of genu-
Inc regret that is absolutely without
precedent. The following paragraph
from the current issue of BLACK and
White" is a fair sample of the
friendly sentiment that has found ex-
preston in newspapers and periodi-
Gals throughout the country:
''In all the long line of distinguished
men who have filled the post of
American ambassador at the court of
st. James. none has enjoyed wider
popularity than Mr.. Choate, and none
will be missed and regretted more
sincerely on this side of the Atlantic
when in the course of a few months
he presents, as he has decided to do.
his letters of recall. We in England
have come to regard the American
ambassador as much more than a
diplomat. He is. in a way, a public
institution, and the part that he
plays in our social life is almost as
active and intimate as II he were one
OF our public men.
"On all sorts of ceremonial occa-
sions and celebrations the American
ambassador is invited to deliver ora
tions, which are invariably models OF
felicity. and which are unchilled by
that formality and reserve imposed
by tradition on the utterances OF
other diplomatists. The art of apt
and graceful speech has been cult.
waited to a high degree of perfection
in the states. but none of Mr.. Choate's
predecessors has excelled him in Its
practice; and his withdrawal from
our midst will indeed be a sensible
loss TO many sides of our social ac-
tivity. OF his qualities as a diploma
tist 1t is possible to speak as high.
! ly. for during his residence in England
several anxious questions between tht
United States and Great Britain have
come up for adjustment, and theil
settlement has been due in no small
measure to his exertions. He under
stood the English people, and HI
liked them as much as they like
him. and II should be some satisfac
ton to him to know that he return
to his own country having helped t.
bring about a better understanding
between the two English-speaking ma
tions than has ever before in thei
| history prevailed"

Bladder troubles almost always result
