Hill Street Society.

The regular meeting Of the Hill Street Improvement club was held at their rooms on Hill street Saturday night. A large attendance was pres ent and much satisfaction was ex- pressed that at last they were to have the Improvements they SO long sought. The setting of curhing and laying of sidewalks having been fa- yorabiy acted upon by the aldermen and board of public works. It was hoped the board of public works would not delay action very long. but proceed with the work as soon as possible. so that it can be finished this year.
 After the meeting all the members present went to the home of John Anderson. who was a member of the club since il was organized. and who with his wife is soon 10 leave for their old home in Sweden. Mr and Mrs Anderson proved themselves equal to the occasion and made ev- eTvbody feel at home Lucheon was served and songs. music and phono. graph selections helped to spend a pleasant evening.

WHAT PARKS ARE FOR.
Man Wondered Why Union
 Square Plot Was Fenced In.

Square Plot Was Fenced In.
 .'Whats that?" inquired a trayel- ing man of a Democrat reporter, as he set his valise on the street to wait for a trolley car, and pointed to Union square green. The newsman informed the gentleman that it was public park, whereupon the drum mer remarked that he thought 1t was a gold mine by the way it was fenced in. That's the funniest public park,
 he said, in a sort of fatherly way, that ever came to my notice. There is a stout iron fence all around and no gateway or entrance at any point. What in thunder is it for? Why don't they have a few seats in there and some way for people to get in there and sit down on them?" The man was just starting in to give the off cials a good call when the trolley car hove in sight. and much to the dis comfiture of the reporter, he cut his speech short, and stepped aboard and was whirled away in a cloud of dust. but before he got too far he shouted back ::.'Tell your commissioners to make tour of New England and see if they cannot get some idea as to what park is for.
 The reporter thought the man was all right, but it should be remem- bered that the commissioners have not yet had time to put half what they learned during their outing into practical operation. and for this req son it would not be fair to find fault with them just now But it might not be amiss to say that while the fence at Union square park is nice thing and adds considerably to the looks of the whole neighborhood, but it never was intended that the Improvement should put the park out of business so far as being of any practical use is concerned The commissioners should take this matter into consid- eration and put three or four dozen seats in that square and then put II up to the department of safety to maintain good order there. This would be getting some returns out or 1 the money spent in fixing the place, but if it is to remain there simply to look at, why few people will believe that it is being made the most Of.

MISREPRESENTATION

should not be allowed. no matter what the circumstances may be, be- cause people do not like to be and should not be hoodwinked. Take for instance that base ball game the other day between the news gath erers and city office holders. We were led to believe that we were going to see good game of ball and fair, square umpire, but oh what . deception and oh what a. a4conglom- eration of ball players. We'll, when we say the lockers on were filled with eleutheromania after the game is putting 1t mildly. but there is lots of deception going on every day. For instance you can buy tea or cof- fee from almost any merchant who has it for sale and he'll tell you its the best in the city. but after you have tried it you'll he the better judge. Now if you buy tea, coffee, butter, cocoa or spices at our store you won't be deceived, because the quality we sell always speaks for itself; in fact, it makes you call again. That's the quality that does not misrepresent, but on the contrary it's just what we say It IS. By the way, did you get one of those little rocking chairs with one pound of our warranted good Baking Pow der, AS cents per pound? We have a few base ball catcher's mitts which we are giving with one pound of our 5O-cent tea, and we have a nice line of window screens (the kind that keeps the flies out), one with hound of Baking Powder, at

port to the Commercial club of that

pany with T. j. Medill of this city and

Hennepin canal. In his report he
said:
For 1G years the people Of Illinois
and Iowa more directly. but supported
by the states of Minnesota Wisconsin
and Missouri with endorsements from
every water ways convention assem-
bled. have regularly asked congress
for appropriations to construct this ca
nal and they have been granted en-
ough, with the last one made. to finish
and open it for traffic.
we have been informed that some
private interests are presenting Il
claim for a change of plans which Will
cause a long delay in the completion
Of this canal
Our people in the west seriously OBJ
ject to the recognition of any private
interests that viii suspend the con
struction or in any manner prevent its
speedy completion.
Criticism comes from some quartz rs
as to the size of this canal and the s.
sertion made that it will be of it'll =
use unless large enough for the pas
sage of large lake vessels.
Lake vessels, if the canal permitted
their passage. could not navigate the
Mississippi river with a draft of > to
20 feet of water and transfer would
have to be made at its mouth TO barges
to take the cargo TO its destination.
The capacity of the present canal
will permit barges of c0G tons passage
through its locks. A tug boat running
at an expense of $50 per day can tow
three of these barges and in two days
at most tow them through from Chi

tons of freight at a cost. including
transfers of cargo. to not exceed $500

MILK SUPPLY GOOD
Quality of Product Here Rated
High by Professor John

BEST OF ANY CITY VISITED
Agricultural College Expert Compii-
ments Dealers and Authorities
Results of Tests.

81 have found that Rock Island is
furnished with better quality of milk
tLsn any other city ever visited. The
tests show better averages of butter
fat This statement made by
Professor John NJ. Trueman of
the University of Illinois. last ev-
ening, is the substance of his con-
ciusio:ls regarding the milk supply of
Rock Island. Mr.. Trueman's samples
for the tests were gathered without
warning End the showing made in his
tests :-pPaks well for the dealers and
health authorities of the city. Only
three of tie samples from the dairies
fell below the standard of butter fat.
some were below in total solids, and
CHe sample was found to contain for
nialdihyde. but on the other hand the
majority were up to the standards, and
sonic even above the standard The
showing in the tests of milk from the
restaurants and hotels is charged by
Mr. Trueman to the restaurant, rather
than the dealer, for obvious reasons.
Is Educational Work.
Mr.. Trueman's report on the tests
of Rock Islands milk supply was made
production and care at the city council
chamber last evening The council
gathered in committee of the whole to
hear the discussion. and a number of
dealers and others interested in the
subject were present. Professor True
man. in introduction defined his posi-
ton in relation to the state and the
state food commission. He is connect
ed with the agricultural college of the
state university, and is engaged in
educational work along the line of mu-
nicipal milk supply. The object of the
department is to secure a universally
good quality of milk for the cities of
the state, by educating the producer
and the consumer as well. The work
he is in charge of is entirely distinct
from that of the food commission in
regard to milk supplies the food COM
mission taking up the work along po-
lice lines, while the agricultural college
works along educational lines.
Production and Care.
He spoke of the Importance of the
subject. and showed by reports from
Rochester the bearing that the quality |
of the milk supply has on the death |
rate of children 1.-The effects are more |
serious from dirty and impure milk |
than from skim milk or adulterated |
milk said Professor Trueman. and |
he cautioned his hearers particularly |
on the necessity of seeing that the milk
supply is clean and that no dirty sedi-
ment be allowed in the milk. He |
spoke at length on the methods of the
ordinary dairyman that result in dirty
and impure milk, and gave number
of suggestions for the betterment of /
the milk in this respect. He also gave
