FINE IMPROVEMENT LOOKED FOB Said It Will Result in Important Changes Officials Not Talking. Options have now been secure! by the Rock Island road on nearly a block of residence property on the north side of Fifth avenue between Thirtieth and Thirty -first streets, on which it pro poses to build the new passenger sta tion. Just when the improvement will be undertaken is not announced by the company, which, by the way, has nothing to say regarding the matter beyond intimating that it has something up its sleeve that will be a benefit to the community. For weeks, as heretofore stated in The Aij;us, the company has been negotiating for the property above re ferred to, and from an unofficial source it is learned that all details have been consummated except the transferrin? of the deeds, and no hicch is Ijokei for in that proceeding. May Be I n ion Depot. As to the extent the property pur chase will affect local railroad affairs is purely conjectural, but it would not be at all surprising, as said before in this paper, if other roads would become partners in the new Fifth ave nue depot. The Peoria and Milwau kee. trains, under the present arrange ment, take on passengers at the Rock "land station, and there is no reason doubt the former will continue to L so. ana the latter also, unless a re- cTit report to the effect that it is forming an alliance with the D., R I. & .V. W. proves true. Xt any rate, several interesting chf ges ire scheduled for the coming yea' among the railroads entering Roc Island. The Burlington will sootiVie in its new station, the North west I'n ha 9 under way a new depot on SeVanteenth street, the antiquated brick luilding on Sixteenth street now oiV.upied by the Burlington is to be razl I and the ground converted into ya d room. In fact the local railroad map is to be pretty well altered. V- Speriilna; Considerable Money. The Roi Island company is spend ing a deal' of money in this locality. It has made expensive purchases "in Moline, wLere it is in need of more yard room, and where it is also erect ing another roundhouse. This move gave rise to the rumor that the round house here was to be abandoned, but R. R- Cable, chairman ot the board of the road, put a quietus, for the time at least, on that rumor through The A kg us when he said his company was not contemplating any cha.igesthat; would be regretted by this city. However, citizens generally will have their eyes on Fifth avenue, and will wait anxioasly for the Rock Is land's new passenger station. There is every reason to believe it will be a handsome structure. BROWN ASKS $25,000 DAMAGES FROM PEORIA. Suit was instituted in the circuit court today by Maj. J. M. Beardsley for $ .'5,000 damages against the Rock Island & Peoria railway in behalf of Andrew Brown, of Orion, who lost a leg in an accident at the road's depot in this city Dec. 6, and is now at St. Anthony's hospital. Brown claims that in boarding the train he was thrown o!This feet, clung to the coach railing and vsa dragged two blocks lKar thetAiin was brought to a stop, the wheels passing over him, necessitating the amputation of the left limb between the ankle and knee and the amputation of a toe on the other foot. Brown is 37 years old, is a farmer and has a wife and seven children. Court Term Ends. Judge Gest vesterday afternoon ad journed the circuit court for the term. The January term begins Jan. 7. Before adjournment Charles Kim- mel, who has been serving a 30-day sentence for the theft of a bicycle. was brought into court and released from the payment of & $50 fine. He was then given his liberty. J oat Saved BltUh. It was a thrilling escape that Charles Davis, of Bowerston. O., late ly had from a frightful death. For two years a severe lung trouble con stantly grew worse until it seemed he must die of consumption. Then he began to use Dr. King's New Discov ery and lately wrote: 4,lt gave in stant relief and elected a permanent jcure."

Deep interest is manifest among the liquor dealers of Davenport over the organization of a lodge of the Knights of the Roval Arch. Grand Organizer Maurice R. Hodgman is there for the purpose of instituting the lodge. Iu speaking of the new order Mr. Hodgman says: The Knights of the Royal Arch is a national fraternal order tor liquor men exclusively, and was suggested by the stand taken bv other fraterni ties in barring from membership all persons engaged in the manufacture or sale of liquor and denying to them the rights and benefits freely extended to men in otner vo cations. There are thousands pf business men against whom, as citi zens and members of society, nothing can be said beyond the fact that they arc engaged iu the liquor trade. Al though but three years of age, the Royal Arch has a membership of 150, ouu, in .si states in the union, over 4 000 being in Chicago. The order includes many of the most prominent Iiouor dealers throughout the coun try." Copper Like TIiU Kill.
