10 AN INA MeNsE STOCK.
The Bee Hive, Davenport, Outdsss All
Former Efforts to Chow Most EIab-
crate and Nsriea DissIay

The millinery opening OF the Bee
Hive, Davenport, which came TO a close
yesterday was an suspicious event. for
never before has there been a more
elaborate and interesting display OF
spring millinery than is to be found
at the popular emporium. The Bee
Hive is the largest exclusive cloak AMI
millinery store il the central states,
and visitors are at once impressed
with the inmeusity OF the stock, and
The arrangement of the store is such
that shoppers may trade with ease
and comfort and under the most per
feet conditions. The millinery section
has been newly RENTED with fine oak
fixtures. The cases are lined with
French plate mirrors and are so ar
ranged as 10 form continuous line of
mirrors along the entire wall of that
section of the store. Each one of the
cases is electrically lighted, producing
a very pleasing effect. In fact. the
decorations throughout are a delight
to all visitors, who, despite the unfav
orable weather conditions OF the past
week, Nave thronged the store The
success OF the Bee Hive from a small
store to the enviable position it now
maintains is attributable not only to
courteous treatment of customers and
the consideration shown them. but also
TO the fact that goods are sold at the
lowest possible prices and those prices
are marked IL plain figures, 4 plan
strictly adhered to by this firm.

PAVING FAVORED
Entire City Interested in Proposed
Improvement OF Seventh
Avenue.
OPINIONS DIFFER ON GRADE
Question of Depth of Cut and Plan TO!
Boulevard Before Board OF Local
improvements.

Residents and property owners along
Seventh avenue are taking consider
able interest in the measures looking
toward the improvement of the avenue
from Thirtieth to Forty-siXth street
with asphalt, and the proposed i'm
provement is attracting the attention
of the entire city. AS this is certain
to be the main drive between Rock Is
land and Moline the opportunity TO ins-
prove the avenue in a manner to make
it one of the most attractive in this To-
cality should be taken advantage OF by
the property owners. The question OF
material, boulevarding and grade are
now before the board of local improve
ments. and the differences of opinion
as to the proper grade will undoubted-
ly be satisfactorily settled.
An Ideal Drive.
AS has been pointed out at the warn
Gus public meetings held for the dis
cussion OF the proposed Improvement
the paving of Seventh avenue will
make possible a relief of the traffic on
Fifth avenue. Owing to the railway
tracks which parallel the avenue, the
lower thoroughfare is unsatisfactory
for ordinary traffic, while with con-
venient grade Seventh avenue would
become an ideal drive when paved and
boulevarded.
Grade is Important.
The question of the grade between
Thirtieth and Thirty-fifth street is per
haps the most important under consid-
Grafton The estimate of the city en-
gineer on the improvement includes q
cut Of 10 feet through the highest
point but an average cut of Tx feet
has been proposed and is being con
sldered by the board. This means a
cut OF 371a feet at the highest point
The property owners, where the Big
cut would be made state that such a
cut would result in considerable dam
age to the property abutting the av-
enue, but those who favor the uniform
grade between Thirtieth and Thirty
fifth streets, maintain that the cut
should he made and the property own
ers reimbursed for any damage result
ing.
The plan for a boulevard is meeting
with general favor, and Will probably
be adopted
