NAME DELEGATE
TO STATE Meeting
Mrs. Belle Jones Elected to Go to Chi
cago as Representative of County
Humane Society.

Mrs. Belle Jones was selected at q
meeting of the Rock Island County
Humane society last evening to rep
resent the society at meeting of the
state society which is to be held in
Chicago next Thursday. While there
she will try to secure a man to speak
in behalf of the society at some meet
ing to be held in this city in the near
future
At the last meeting of the society, ii
was decided to appoint every member
as a humane officer because of the
fact that the regular officer who held
that position has resigned. Accord
ingly, there was no regular report
other than that submitted by those
who had reported cases to the police
or who had caused arrests on theii
own account. There was but one ar
rest made but there were a number
of cases where warnings were given
The meeting, held at George c. Wen
gers office, was very largely attended

HOSPITAL HERE
Helpers Circle Of Kings Daughters
Launches Project for Another
Institution.
HAS FUNDS FOR A START
Idea Is That There Is Large Enough
FieId-Proposition Will Be Sub
mitted to Doctors.

AT the meeting of the Helpers Cir
Gle of the Kings Daughters yesterday
afternoon at the home OF Mrs. James
Mcnamara, on Twentieth street, pro.
ject for new hospital in Rock Island
was launched. The circle has some
funds of its own that would form the
nucleus of a fund to provide the city
with new institution. The circle es-
tablished the Old Ladies' home, and
while. this project was abandoned be
cause of lack of patronage, the circle
still has the spirit to do some impor-
tant work for the community.
Think city Needs Two.
The idea prevails that the city is
large enough to find need for another
hospital and the members of the cir.
Gle will submit the matter to the peo
pie of the city and particularly to the
physicians and surgeons, with view
to determining the general opinion as
to the field for another hospital. As
has been stated, the circles funds
would form q handsome foundation fol
an undertaking of this character
should it be decided that there is q
field for second hospital.

VOTE s1,OOOF FOR
A PUBLIC BEACH
Sum is to be Set Aside in Appropria-
on Ordinance for Baths
al Seventh Street.
ADOPT THE FILTER PLANS
General Specifications Are Formally
Acted on--New Measure Affecting
Pawn Brokers.

The city next year will establish a
bathing beach and public bath at the
foot of Seventh street A resolution
was adopted by the city council last
evening authorizing the setting aside
of $1,000 for this purpose in the next
annual appropriation ordinance. The
bathing beach proposition has been
before the council for about a year.
II was inspired by a photograph pub
lished in The Argus, accompanied by
n suggestion that a public bath and a
bathing, beach would be a. valuable
thing for Rock Island Alderman Holz-
hammer, who had just short time be-
fore been a visitor at several cities up
the river where these baths exist, took
up the proposition, and has been work
ing for the establishment of the beach
since then While the sum of 81 900 is
designated in the resolution, 1t is
thought that the. beach can be estab.
lished at a smaller cost, and it is prob
able that the actual appropriation will
be less than $1,000
II Denkmann Park.
The city council last evening adopt
ed the name of Denkmann park for
the new public square between Fifth
and Sixth avenues and Fourth and

mann, and the park has been named
in honor of the donors. The motion
to name the park, made by Alderman
Blochlinger, was adopted by unani-
nous vote of the council.
There is a considerable fill to be
made TO bring the block. and the side
walks about the park to grade, and
steps to start this work were taken,
the council adopting a resolution max
ing this the dumping ground for. rub
Dish from the streets and alleys. The
park will. of course. be placed in the

The council formally adopted the res
olution acted on in committee of the
whole session, instructing the city at.

at the suggestion of the city attorney
The city's portion of the taxes in thi:

tions.

and that they had been published in
full. Every step. he stated, had been
taken to give the people of the city
plenty of opportunity to be heard on
the subject, and care had been taken
to avoid the possibility of any charge
of hasty action. There was no discus
sion of the proposition before the vote
was taken.

While there is no absolute surety
that the country will get the kind
of tariff bill it really ought to have,
recent developments prove that the
so-called insurgents are the repub-
icans who have represented the
presidents views on the tariff ques-
tion. Mitchell Clarion.
The tariff bill has been passed,
and if the Clarion is right then the
president has a faculty of making
himself effectually misunderstood.
When the bill got to the conference
committee the president suggested
several changes. These changes
were largely in schedules that had
been adopted by the senate with
the assistance of the so.called in.
