If riant OMltu At OuilH Oat, Sato Km mi Will aa the Haadaoaaaat BaUi lac la taa Tare Clttea Matrapaitaaa la all KMpteU. Rock Island is likely to have ma other big mercantile house. This will come with the execution of the lone considered plans of L. S. Mc Cabe. For several years Mr. McCabe has had in mind the erection of a metropolitan business block on his admirable site at the corner of Third avenue and Eighteenth street, one that would contain and properly distribute the various departments 01 ms immense ana constantly In creasing; business. The design is to construct a modern and model build ing of steel and pressed brick at least four four stories high, and pos sibly five, at the corner of Third ave nue ana Eighteenth street, and by retaining nis own second avenue block, which furnishes the main en trance and main portion of his pres ent business house, give him an en trance on the three main business thoroughfares of the city to the most extensive mercantile establishment in the three cities, and with a floor area unequalled west of Chicago. xnis comDination would be arranged by a boulevard from the second floor of the old building to the second floor of the new over the alley run ning between Seventeenth and Eigh teenth streets, if all the transactions essential to such a purpose are car ried out. The result would be a building in its general arrangement similar to that of Marshall Field & Co., of Chicago. Originally the Marshall Held building was on State street. but when the great firm get ready to enlarge it erected its modern palace on Wabash, back to back with the State street property and very simi ilarly situated to what Mr. McCabe, it is reported, proposes to do. Mr. McCabe is not talking .about any of his plans yet, but he is known to be doing a lot of thinking and is going east shortly to look over build ings and consider plans for the erec tion 01 tne building which is to com plete the great emporium he has always bad in mind, and which he has hoped to make the subjeet of his enterprise ana nis pride in his busi ness and in Bock Ieland.

The Des Moines ball team passed tnrougn tins morning en route to Peoria. The bovs were a tired look iug lot, havicg been roused from their slumbers at 3 a. m. to catch the train out of Cedar Rapids. One of the players said that Des Moines was the poorest ball town in the association. Ton couldn't pull the people of that town out to the park. Nothing will at tract or interest there in the base ball line. Despite this condition of af fairs the club will be carried through the season, it is claimed. Manager Frick has a few greenbacks left and he is gamy enough to let the largest portion of it go before he will say die. He would sell out, though. It is not likely that Des Moines will have professional base ball next sea son surely not, the players from that town say, unless the people are aroused and show a disposition to patronize the game. Kock Island will be in excellent shape for a ball team next year. The fans here have been deprived of the amusement so long that they have grown desperate. A movement should be started soon with a view to getting a franchise in one -of the associations next season. Kock Island Is up-to-date other respect, and she ought to have base ball. in every certainly The Sacaaa AiUb Aawalt Case. . The second charm In tha mu .1 A.J.

NO KNOWLEDGE OF IT. f aaiaataala Pptaaaala aa Um OBaa af Pattaa atatvaa. The Union of today presents a la mentable spectacle of the small knowledge it possesses of the obiect of a aity in providing a police ma tron aca 01 tne duties that properly BKasn a suon an omse. it is very evident that it is the same old dispo sition of pure eussedness that led it to oppose the paid fire department, the park commission, and manv other improvements in the past with out a knowledge ot the good to come irom the change, that is at the bot tom of its present hostility to the desired innovation in the police de partment. Time and space are too valuable to be wasted in detailed reference to the morning paper's ex planation of its previous attempt to convince iae local pa one, and Inci dentally the world at large, that Bock Island is content with aocept ing its population ot 1890 as a basis of judging how she should conduot her- ae.l with reference to the police ma tron. It need only be said that the council Is capable of estimating Rook Island's present population without accepting the figures of 180 which were at that time 2,000 short as ap plicable. In its discussion ef the duties of a police matron the Union exhibits what small conception it has ot the position and the requirements of the incumbent. 1 he duties of the police matron are not to bo exercised solely in dealing with the fallen, the vic ious and the immoral of the sex, nor is the province of a matron the car rying out of a spirit ot toleration The idea is to prevent vice; at least to check it. it often becomes necessary to detain wayward girls, who, if thrown into contact at police head quarters with the hardened classes of both (exes are simply punished and dismissed, would depart further from the paths of reotitude as a re sult of the disgrace and degradation. than if they were shown that instead ot having suffered the mortification of imprisonment they were simply checked in their folly and given tha considerate ana kindly advice that would arouse their better nature if they postessed it. . The establish ment of the office ot police matron is not the furtherance of a policy of toierauon nor in line with the car rying oui 01 the outrageous propo sition which the Union suggests to traffic in beastialiiy." The policy is one of prevention ot vice before it is too late a duty the state and the city owes to humanity, while it is no less a duty that female prisoners, re gardless ot the offense under which they are detained, be given separate apartments from the men, and in charge of one of their own sex. A lady whose indignation is aroused has written The Abous a communication with refeference to the Union's position, in the course of which she says It "ras language which must be considered as a ie flection upon the good judgment of those interested in this enterprise, and which should not pass unchal lenged. It remarks: 'The idle and vicious are not confined to one sex, and if we wish to pander to the curse of the age, ot course we should have a house of sympathy in charge of sympathetic persons, where strain pets may be considered as unfor tunates, instead of being driven out of town by masculine stern ness, which regards their pres ence as pollution.' " "Of course," says the lady, "we will con cede that enowftakes do not like smut, but up to this date we were unaware that the moral atmos phere of Rock Island was kept pure by 'masculine snowflakes.' Passing unrestricted the unwarranted as sumption that the office of police matron is created solely in the inter est of fallen women, consider the terrible charge of sympathy' sup posed to be purely feminine." The correspondent maintains correctly that the Union is not sufficiently logical to discuss the difference be tween sympathy with the sinner and sympathy with the sin. and closes by saying that the morning paper "would ruthlessly push on to de struction those whose feet have al ready slipped." The Davenport Democrat of Sun day last had this argument which may be used now in reply to some of the misconceptions printed in the Union today: "The Davenport house of detention has done a greater work in the reclaiming of straying girls than it has in the imprisonment of abandoned ones who are under ar rest. It all lies in the sort of ma tron the house has, whether its work will be merely punitive and coercive, or whether it will be reformatory and reclamatory. We prefer the latter." This is the correct opinion. Thra. Nsrvoaa, pi Men and women how gratefully they write about Hood's Sarsaparilla.

Bat rtaaa Ba Taaklas taa Wi There wes a lively aeene at pallet headquarters about 5 o'clock yester day afternoon. Desk Sergeant Ar cher and Ben Hoffman, a fellow charged with vagrancy, were the participants. . It lasted one round. Archer won. Hoffman, who says he has resided in Rock Island over twenty years, and ia employed ia steamboating, was taken in by Officer Byan. He was carrying a fair load ot hop extract, and he was decidedly eloquent in his use of blasphemy. He eulogized the copper who was guiding him to the oooler In lan guage that would cause a doorknob to blush. When he was turned over to the desk sergeant he proceeded to dress him down. Hoffman was told that he was not helping along his ease by abusing the of ficers. He replied that he knew how far he was permitted to assert his rights as an American citi zen, and was preparing to deliver an address when Officer Archer request ed him te hold up his arms until he relieved him of his valuables and weapons. - Hoffman appeared indignant at the proposition. So, indeed; he would not permit anyone to go through his pockets. The officer taw that it was necessary for him te handle Hoff man, so he took him by the collar and started to lead him over to the desk, when the obstreperons hobo separated the guardian of the peace from about a yard ot his shirt, and then pot up bis dukes with the com. mand that the battle proceed. Hoff man co a tinned to blaspheme the effioer. Hoffman was again admon ished to behave himself. Officer Archer finally found that there was only one way to handle his man. He again took hold of Hoffman. The hobo made a pass at him. The offi cer was not in the best of humor, anyway, afutr having had his shirt torn, and he landed his right oa Hoffman's face. The amber began to flow. Hoffman then became like unto a wild man. Archer handed him another, which staggered the hobo and took all the ooneeit out of him at to his ability as a pugilist. Hoffman was searched. Then be was taken to a cell, where he re mained until this morning. There was crepe over his left glimmer when he was taken before Magistrate Staf ford and his physiognomy ahowed evidence of colliding with a bunch ot knuckles about the sire of Offioer Archer's. Hoffman is charged with vagrancy and resisting an offioer. He plead not guilty and asked tor a trial oy jury. He will be aoeonmo dated. Vwaty Days Fa Bartla. James Martin, another hobo, ar rested by Officer Byan. was given 20 days for vagrancy by Magistrate btanora.
