SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER IS, 1894. THE NEW COURT HOUSE. The Proposition te Malta One aura to Car ry oa Election Day. It seems to be a conceded fact that ' the proposition to be submitted to the taxpayers of Rock Island county on election day, empowering the county to issue bonds amounting to f 125,000 for the erection of a new court house will carry in the city, and there is consequently not a great deal of dis cussion of the matter, as all public- spiruca people win not give the sub ject a thought other than to make their expression in the aflnnative. It is gratifying, also, to note the popularity with which tho enterprise is received in all parts of the county, the most conservative Agreeing in the view that it is time for Rock Island to take place among its sister coun ties of the state in the erection of a temple of justice such as will reflect the spirit of the people composing the conimunitv. A farrier from the lower end this morning when asked the sentiment down his way, replied promptly that he had "no doubt whatever that it would carry in every township. "The proposition does not look to the assumption of any burdensome obligation on the part of the connty," he said, "and it will insure a court house that we can all be proud of. The present building has outgrown its usefulness, and Rook Island being just as good as any county in the stato should have just as good a court house. We are all interested in this." In Moline. A prominent citizen of Moline ex pressed himself in a similar way the other day when discussing the mat ter in a casual manner at the ball park. "I take a practical ov of it," he said. "The question is hardly one of preference it is neces sity. A new court house is a need ful improvement, and that is all there is to it. The old building is inadequate to the present require ment of the county, and perhaps not more so than the county jail. Mr sentiment is that while we are about it we should do the entire job and be done with it let us broaden the scope of the undertaking. Let us Erst carry the proposition, and then when we begin to build, put up a structure with a basement of proper design to include the couuty jail. I am for the whole business. UNTIMELY DOWN POUR.

The latter will return tonight or tomorrow. In to day's game Zeis is assigned to first base. Andrews right ficid and Con nor left field, while Burrcll and Sage constitute the battery. Even the Jacksonville papers are deprecating the hoodlumism that prevails in the base ball audiences there. The Courier has this admon ition: "A good deal of the guying of the visitors by a few fellows on the bleachers might be dispensed with. It does no good. On the other hand, it is absolutely disgusting. Espec ially is this the case when there is no occasion for it.

There is a decided change in the countenance of the average freight trainman on the Kock Island these days. After seeing business gradu ally dwindle nntil it seemed as if his very existence was to be taken from him, as one by one the trains were diminished, aud regular men went on to the roll of extras, he now views a more hopeful aspect. The crisis has come, and the turning point has been made things are looking np August was a frightfully dull month on two accounts, one, the effect of the great strike, and the time it took commerce to rally from the paralyzing effect of suspension of traffic, and the other, the dismal prosjiect for crops in the western states. For a time, at least, it looked as if the chief grains would lie abso lute failures, but the rains, late as they came, had some 4-ffect. and though much reduced, there will be grain to move presently. Locally speaking, the month of August was a little better than a year ago with the Rock Island, but it was bad enough at that, and it is now daily improving, while through busi ness is gradually mending. Freight is moving with pleasurable activity, and trainmen running out of Rock Island are bep-inninc to realize that their avocations are not entirely gone, as the call boy comes around wiin more frequent regularity.
