COUNTY PLAN TO
HAVE ROCK PILE
Board Of Supervisors Disap'
proves Recommendation
for Workhouse.
USE STONE ON ROAD WORK
Suggested That All Prisoners Be En-.
ployed at Same Place-Other
Business Transacted.

A county stone pile is offered by
the board Of supervisors as a substi-
tute for a workhouse recommended
by a committee of the board that
had investigated conditions in other
cities Of the state. At the closing
session Of the June meeting of the
board yesterday afternoon, 1t was
voted as the sense Of the board that
the Rock Island and Moline commits
sions unite with the county in es-
tablishrng a stone pile where pris-
oners can be employed in breaking
rock to be used in the improvement
of roads in the county. This was
offered as a suggestion to the COM
mittee which was appointed at a pre-
vious meeting of the board to inves-
tigate the county workhouse plan.
The Rock Island and Moline city
commissions opposed a workhouse
on the grounds that, assuming it
would embrace the manufacturing
features introduced in similar insti-
tutions in the state, 1t would be a
competitor Of the product of legiti-
mate labor. The committee was
continued.
The semi-annual reports of county
officials were received by the board.
The circuit clerks report contained
the following financial statement COW
ering the half year: Earned $4,-
1856; received of same, $4.343.56;
received from previous earnings,
$14; total received, 4,357.56; clerk
hire, s2.160; miscellaneous expenses.
$213.70; salary for half year, 5000;
total disbursed, $3,297.20; excess to
be turned into treasury, S1,O60-36.
The figures from the county clerks
office We're: Earned s4,713.O6; re-
eeived of same, 1,4O4; received of
previous earnings, $6,223.39; total
received. $7.627.39; clerk hire. ST.
017.5O; miscellaneous expenses,
$6S.2O; salary for half year. 81 900:
total disbursement, S5.O69.62; ex-
cess for treasury, S2.557.77. The
sheriff's report showed an earning of
s1.514.25. of which amount S6S6.45
was collected. The probate court
earned $4,295.69. collected ST.
so3.6S. paid for clerk hire. $50,
and for salary $3.50. The balance
for the treasury was $t57.OS.
BILLS ARE AUDITED.
The various committees reported
to the board as a whole and their
bills were audited by the board and
for the most part ordered paid or re
jected as per the recommendation
of the committee which brought
thcm in. An appropriation of $1,000
for new engine house at the county
infirmarv was voted.

French Millinery
At Prices Below Anything
We Have Heard Of

Last prices, and probably lowest prices for
which French hats have been sold in New
York, have been placed Upon all our imported
Winter millinery, without reserve.
The cost of materials alone is in many
instances not covered in the prices we have
placed on them.
There is one group of forty hats, for ex-
ample, any one of which you may take to-
morrow for IS. Yes, all from Paris, all delic-
iously French, all fashioned of the choicest
French materials. A little while ago not one
in the group was less than $40, and most were
more. Fancy acquiring them for SIS!
Let this one group hint of the others, which
are now SIS and $40, and on up to SOS.
Each group represents practically as radical
a cut as the SIS collection.
Do you wonder we say that certainly
French hats have rarely if ever been sold at
these prices? Or wonder that we suggest an
early visit tomorrow on the part of the women
who know and appreciate the choicest OF
millinery?

private dressmaking business. These gar
ments are not sold until they have paid for
themselves several times over in furnishing
inspiration and ideas for costumes made to
our c~henfeLe's orders. For this reason,
when We are ready to sell them, we can
afford to place upon them prices which are
actually trIf7i1g compared with the origi-
nal prices fixed upon them by their
creators.
This, as we have explained, is not
our loss, because we have already had the
good Of the mastery idea represented in
each gown.
But it is the immeasurable gain of
women who wear beautiful clothes and who
will care to have such masterpieces as
these (all of them practically unframed by
their s~ojourn in the glass cases Of our
Dressmaking Salons) at enormous econ
omies of price.
Each garment is a veritable Chef
d'oeuvre of some great master in the Paris
ian dressmaking world. In buying them
we think ahead for earliest Spring dress
making requirements, so that a number
will be found perfectly suitable, in material
and style, for Palm Beach, Pinehurst and
