In a session three and one-half hours
long the city council last evening vot-

hook and ladder truck and a new fire
alarm system, ordered a wagon for the
chief of the department. and heard dis
cussions at some length on other mat

The city at present has no funds

alarm system. but they will probably
not be installed much before the time
of the next appropriation The bids for

Civil Service.
One OF the amusing things of the
session came from Aid. Sexton in the
way of a resolution authorizing the cir
culation of petitions for signatures for
the purpose of having placed upon the
ballot at the spring election the propo-
sitiOn of taking advantage of the stat
utory provision for placing all depart
ments under the civil service rule
The proposition meets with favor
among the aldermen. but the fact that
il was introduced by the alderman
from the Fourth ward caused smiles to
appear on many faces.
Again and again the alderman has
had tits with his associates in the
council chamber when civil service in
city departments was mentioned, buu
it seems now that the alderman has
been converted to this policy and will
no longer be the leader on the floor
against such a measure.
saloon Site.
Considerable time was occupied with
the question of the advisability of al
lowing a sa,oon to open in the prop
erty of Charles Oswald at 2129 Fourth
avenue, near St. Marys church. The
signatures had been secured and the
petition published. A protest came in
from Rev. a. Geyer, pastor of St.
Mary's church, as did also a communi-
cation Withdrawing certain names from
the petition. leaving it without the nee
.essary number. John Looney was heard
on the proposition. The whole matter
was referred to the committee on IL
cenSeS.
Again the Storm Drain.
Although the matter was supposed
to have been settled in the courts at
a considerable expense, the storm drain
question was dragged into the council
chamber again. \ communication from
Matthias Schnell set forth his side of
the proposition alleging that the city
IS still indebted to him. notwithstand-
ing the action in the courts
His attorneys. II. A. Weld and JOS
eph l.. Haas, appeared in his behalf
and set up the claim that the case was
tried with the understanding that the
council was ready and willing to pay
Mr. Schnell if the court decided that
The city owed him anything: that if
they had had any idea that the city
would plead bankruptcy the case prob
ably never would have gone into court
The matter was referred to the finance

ON THE DUAL PLAN
Harper House to Become Euro

lean After Jan. 1.
FINE CAFE TO BE PUT IN
Bringing the Hotel Up to Metropolitan
Requirements in All Essential
Respects.

Commencing with the first of the
new year the dual American-European
plan will be adopted in the classified
lion of the Harper. On that date the
hotel, one of the best known in the
state, will cease to be the strictly
American house which it has been
since it was opened over a third of a
century ago, and will become both
American and European, this in
pursuance of Manager McHugh's poll
cy of keeping the hostelry abreast of
he times. 1t is but one more step for
ward in metropolitan ideas-a move in
keeping with the trend of the times.
Elaborate Cafe Being Put In.
To meet the requirements of the
coming innovation, the three private
lining rooms. including the ordinary

conditions has already been entered
upon Carpenters and decorators are
busy. the contract providing that all
The improvements are TO be completed
by Jan. /. The result will be, beyond
question the most handsomely ap-
pointed cafe in the three cities. With
the elevator convenient to the main
and ladies' entrances TO the hotel the
Harper house cafe will have all the
advantages of a ground floor location,
with the added attraction of such ex-
clusiveness as its patrons may desire.
Attractive Furnishings.
When the work of remodeling and
/ \
will be entirely refurnished. new car
pets will be put down, and the tables.
chairs and other furnishings, the dra-
peries and general appointments will be
brand new. This will likewise be true
of the silverware and of the linen, both
of which will be of special design
which Manager McHugh goes TO Chi
cago this week to arrange for. Spe-
cially selected light fixtures, including
polished brass candelabraS for each
table. will add lustTe to the effects.
While the main dining room will be
continued just as it is now, as a feat
ure of the American plan, the cafe will
be separate and distinct-from the
kitchen service out. Additional ranges
and French broilers are being installed,
and this end of the business will be in
charge of a special chef. The cafe
will likewise have its own corps OF
boy walters, and while the service will
in the main be on the a la carte plan
table d'hote dinners will be served each
day from II to 2 and Sundays from q
| TO 9. on which latter day there will be
music, as there will be on special oc
casions through the week.
Open All Day and Evening.
The cafe will be open continuously
| from 6 i'll the morning until midnight
each day. and apart from the advan
ages it will afford to the guests of the
house who prefer the European to the
American plan, it will present oppor
| tunities to the people of Rock Islam
which of course will be appreciated
| Ii is the desire of Manager McHugh
not only to provide a popular adjunct
to his hotel, but TO make it a favorite
Dlace for after-t heatrp Darties etc
