 Asked today if he knew anything with regard to the report that the Mobile and Ohio Railroad and the Ilii- nois Central road are soon to enter Birmingham through c joint arrange ments among themselves, 4. D Light ner, general agent of the Frisco Rail- road. representing the executive de- partment of that road, said that all the information he had was that the Illinois Central had arranged to use the Frisco tracks from Jasper to Bir- minRham, a distance of forty miles. It was understood, said Mir. Lightner, that the Illinois Central would build from a point on its line in Mississippi to Jasper.
 The announcement was made some days ago that the Illinois Central would use the Frisco tracks from Jas per to Birmingham, but this Is the first time 1t has been confirmed. The other report is that the Illinois Gen. tral will use the Mobile and Ohio tracks from Jackson, Tenn, to Cor inth, Miss, and from that point will build a line to Haleyville, on the Northern Alabama road, which both it and the Mobile and ohio will use. The Illinois Central will then use the Northern Alabama road to Jasper and come from there to Birmingham over the Frisco, while the Mobile and Ohio will reach Birmingham from Jasper over the Ensley Southern, which is controlled by the Southern Railway, which also controls the Mobile and Ohio.
 It is not known whether this story is true or not, but it is known that the Mobile and Ohio is figuring on coming to this city. The Illinois Gen. tral recently secured a charter in Mis- sissippi to build from Corinth to Jas per and the coming of that road is regarded as a certainty, a fact which is confirmed in the statement of Mir. Lightner.

BUY new WATCHES
Fifteen Thousand of Them for
Employees of Bur-
lington.
NEW RULING BY COMPANY
Plans For a General Examination of
Timepicces Now in
Use.

Plans are being perfected for a gen
eral examination of watches over the
entire Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad system. which may mean the
purchase of new timepieces by $4,000
employ of the company
The last rules requiring the per
chase of-certain kind of watches and
providing for their examination were
issued in 1889, and for 16 years there
has been no change in the code AT
that time certain jewels and a spe
cific case were named for the official
watch to be used by all trainmen and
telegraphers. Employees were priv
legged to pay as little or as much fol
watches as they pleased, so long as
the timepieces came within the classi,
fications.
TImepieces Are AntIquated.
II has been discovered recently that
many, probably a majority of the
watches used by the trainmen arc
more or less antiquated. or not as
good as modern timepieces. AS most
of the employees of the Burlington have
been in the service of the company a
decade and longer, il is the presump.
ton of the officers that the majority
of the conductors and engineers arc
carrying watches that, while they keer
fairly good time, are out of date
The management of the Burlington
will send an expert matchmaker ove1
the system to examine all watches
and make a report. There is no doubt
that when the revised rules are is
sued they will call for a new style
watch.

BEAUTY FOR HOME

PUTTING OUT THE FLOWERS
And Cleaning up the Residence Lots,
Raking the Lawns,
Etc.

The Home Improvement association
desires to call the attention of the
people of Rock Island to the fact that
the time is at hand for cleaning up the
residence lots, whitewashing and paint
ing the fences, raking the lawns, SOW
ing the grass seed, putting out of flow
ering plants, vines and later the SOW
ing of flower seeds.
y 1t is earnestly desired that the peo.
ole in every ward of the city will take
IN interest this season in home I'M
-rovement. 1t is especially desired
that the present time be improved by
raking the lawns and sowing the grass
seed, that the see may have time tC
weather sets in that might destroy ii
if sOwed too late.
Flowers In the Windows.
The cultivation of flowers in win,
dow boxes is a style of some improve.
ments that cannot be too highly rec
commended. This method of improve
ment is not expensive, and adds great
ly to the beauty of the premises
where it is done. The shade trees
hat add so much to the beauty of the
streets should be carefully pruned
The careless cutting of trees without
reference to the symmetry of the tree
after cutting should be discounten
anced, and care should be taken that
the place where the sawed limb is CT,
should be covered by paint or coal tar
so as to avoid injury to the tree be

Little Cost Involved.
There is in many cities of the Unit
I'd States a very pronounced purpose
to increase the beautifying of the
homes of the people, especially in re
lation to outdoor improvement. The
private decoration of the home is {
matter of the personal taste of the oc
cupant, but the beauty of the lawn
trees, vines. shrubs and flowers is en-
loyed by the whole people. If every
citizen would do his or her part, the
city can be beautified at little cost.

public buildings take a personal inter
est in these matters. 1t is a seltisf
policy for one half of the community
to improve, and the other half to fail
What we need is an earnest public

best this season and begin early.

John p. 5ladel, of South Rock Island,
Assaulted on Sixteenth
Street

John p. Bladel, of South Rock ISL
and, was murderOusly assaulted Satur-
day night in front of the skating rink
on Sixteenth street and Fifth avenue.
He was on his way home. In passing
the south end of the building two mon
suddenly sprang in front of him and
commanded him to halt. He obeyed,
but prepared TO give the pair a battle,
for he is physically capable of hand
ling two ordinary men. Mr.. Bladel is
of the belief that the men mistook him
for another whom they had spotted
during the night around the city and
had decided TO hold up and rob. for
one, when he got a look at his face,
ran away. The other had gotten in a
fistic alteration with Mr.. Bladel, and
when the latter handled him roughly
drew a knife. with which he slashcd
the South Rock Islander several places
in the left arm. His injuries. however.
are not serious. The men fed. They
were entire strangers to him.

NO FLOWERS IN EGYPTA
Admirers Must Send Posies to Dress
ina Rooms

The first performance of the Beth
any Home benefit opera "Egypta" oc-
ours tomorrow night at the Illinois.
The advance sale is heavy and large
audience is assured.
Owing to the length of "Egypta'
the overture will begin very shortly al
ter o'clock Ushers will not seat late
Corners till the end of the first act.
The passing of flowers over the foo
lights destroys the realism of any dra-
matte situation, and will not be per
mitted in "Egypta." Friends desiring
to compliment singers may send flor
al offerings to the dressing rooms.
The following clipping is from an
account of a performance in Spring
field, ILL.,, found in the State Journal:
"The sacred opera 'Egypta' has lost
none of it's power to delight since II
was first seen in this city year ago.
When Mr. Chenery composed the lines
and adapted them to music he had
fashioned a work not doomed to a
short life. The whole work from
musical standpoint is cast in mar
mony that does not wear out. The
lines breathe a wealth of sentiment
which time will not affect. The story
deals with a period in history whicE
the world now invests with romance
Incidentally it treats of human liberty
mothers love and devUtiOn for her
child, themes that are old yet eve
new and welcome. The rich stage
settings. the play of colors, the gor
geous costumes, the pageantry of roy
atty suggestive of oriental spiendor
all to those subtler charms which ap
neal to the finer senses. All tisse
points for permanency combined in a
single opera could not have come by
accident. They attest the existence
of creative genius behind them
