BILL NEARING APPROVAL

Steps are now being taken by the
United States engineers office TO re-
sumo Mississippi work as soon as Off
and harbors bill has passed both
houses of congress and is signed by
the president
The improvement of the upper Mis-
sippi will go on in full blast and it is
thought that with favorable weather
two months of work can be gotten in
on the river before this season ends.
These two months will mean much TO
the stream. Dredging, which is urg-
ent, and installation of wing dams,
which is absolutely necessary at this
time, will be accomplished or placed
in a condition of practical complete
ness.
II is not thought that the exact al
lotment which the local division of the
river will receive will be known here
before the early part of October. The
extent of the improvement of the river
of course will depend on the part of
The 100000 appropriation which the
secretary of war will apportion to the
work on the upper stream. The usual
annual appropriation in the past has
been $500, 900. but it is felt here that.
as a result of this emergency appro-
priation. the local Office will not re-
ceive this amount, but only portion
of it.
Next Years Prospects Bright.
1t has been often the case in the
long session of congress that the ap-
preparation has been delayed. The
latest il has passed previous to this
time has been Sept. 25. However, the

in December, will be the short one,
which is scheduled to adjourn on
March 4, and as the appropriations re

senate during short terms, il is be-
lieved that the money for next years
work will be on hand before the sea-
son of active river Improvement is
opened, SO that the work can go along
unhampered by delay in passage of
the bill. OF course, there is nothing
which guarantees that she full $780,
600 appropriation will be made at the
coming short session, for conditions
may be such at that time that con-
gress will think it impracticable TO
make the full allotment.
The Hennepin canal and many locks

affairs is broken he announced in
getting down to the local campaign.
For years the republicans have been
managing the affairs of this county.
The present chairman of the board of
supervisors, now a candidate for sher-
if, has sought in every possible way
to tie my hands and prevent the pro-
per administration of the affairs of my
office Within a month after my cleo
tion he came boldly into my Office and
wanted to install two republican spe-
cial states attorneys to usurp the
powers and rights of my office.
There is a small coterie of the
board OF supervisors that has con-
trolled things and the rest have fol-
lowed like dumb sheep, but the condi-
tions are changed The last two meet
ings the democrats have controlled,
with the help of some of the good re
publicans who are beginning to see the
light. and the progressives. There was
time when the people Of this county
thought all the brains, honesty and
efficiency rested solely in the republi-
can party But this partisan attitude

crates in Plan to Entertain
Pupils of City Schools.
EACH SATURDAY MATINEE
Public and Parochial Classes Includ-
ed. at Least Five Hundred to
Be Guests Each Time.

Every pupil attending the public
graded and parochial schools of Rock
Island ds to become a guest of The

with Manager f. #. Dolly of the EN-
pire To set aside Saturday afternoons
for the youngsters attending the
schools of the city.
The first matinee for the children
will be given Saturday, Oct 3. Man
ager Dolly has entered enthusiastically
into the plan and is endeavoring to Sc
cure attractions that will have a spe-
Cial appeal for the young folks; that
is. there will be at least one act on
each bill that will be particularly to
their liking. In addition to the 'vaude-
vile sets there will be four reels of
high class censored photoplays shown
at each performance. 1t is aimed to
take care OF about 500 school pupils
each Saturday matinee until every
school in the city has been entertained.
A< the Empire seats 1.4OO persons.
there will be little danger of over
crowding the regular matinee patrons.
The further fact that the Empire seats
are all on one floor assures against
the possibility of accident. Here i.
the plan that is to be followed:
Names to be Drawn.
The name of every school in the
city will be written on a card and
placed in a sealed envelope. Every
Wednesday one envelope will be
drawn from the pack and the name OF
the school entitled to see the matinee
at the Empire the following Saturday
will be announced in Wednesday eve
ning's issue of The Argus. The Argus
viii then arrange to distribute tickets
good for one admission to each child
attending the school selected. The
following Wednesday another name
will be drawn until every school in the
city has had an opportunity to attend
the matinee. The first school to at
tend the matinee Saturday, Oct 8, will
be announced next Wednesday.

H O. Walgren, stranger here, ar
raigned before Justice Carl ]. Kuehl
in police court this morning, stoutly
persisted that he had been robbed of
$40 bill
Walgren was arrested on Second av-
enue on a charge of disorderiy con-
duct by Officer Charles Ginnane late
yesterday afternoon. At the pol.se
station a $40 bill was found protrud-
ing from the band of his hat.
This morning he still persisted to
Judge Kuehl that his $40 was missing.
The Judge added to his losses by tack
ing on fine of s5 and costs, and $500
came from his treasury.
He went on to explain to the justice
just. what he did with his money, stat
ing that when he arrived in Rock Is
land he had $71.S0. Not much cred
ence is placed in his story, it being be-
lieved that he told the tale in order to
be dealt with lightly by the court.
