EAGLE WILL SCREAM How the Fourth of July Will be Celebrated in RocH Island and Vicinity. riKEWORKS AND PIC2TI0 ORATORY Excursions on River and Rail roads. Baseball and Other Attractions. Tomorrow the eagle will scream throughout tho length and breadth of this mighty land. Millions of people will assemble in thousands of groves to hear road that concise and logical statement to which our forefathers were patriotically inspired to sub. scribe, to see the neighbors, to eat a picnic dinner and to gratify a hundred and one other unexplainable desires. Tomorrow the small boy will spend his hoarded pennies for ex plosives and his pa will foot the bill of damages; the young member of tho bar will vo ciferously thunder forth that creation of his fertile brain over which he has been sweating for the past two weeks; the refreshment vender will veil bim Mlf hoarse and b-j compelled to talk in a whispir for a week. The 1-our th i,f July will bo ob served in Rock Island tho same as elsewhere. There will be as much nuiu. as many accideuts and as largo a Dumber of fore heads on the li'th a- la any town of its size in the west There will be no general congrega tion for picnic purposes, private en- terpiiu having triumphed over pub ic pin t In this direction hereabout. In tpafte of this, however, there will be many strong attraction to tempt tho truly patriotic to wander abroad and spend their money. Attractions and Outings. First there are the Watch Tower and Prospect park the management of both of wbich nave takeu pains to let the people know what will be doing.

Also tlio'o are cheap ra Iro-d rates to surrounding town wbich will draw many away from hooie. Lastly, there is the alternative open to all of re maining decorously at home, which wi 1. no doubt, be tho Lito of many. The ball game at Davenport between I be teams from that city and Kock lrland will be one of the most inter esting tjf tho Tear. No doubt hun dreds of the funs from this side will bo on hand to see that the Shamrocks' good plating d jes not spoil for want of approbation.

Kng'eer I. YV. Mend has rccora mended a $200,000 water system for Moline. The city, however, has only about $30 000 in sight at present Mayor Weasel hopes that some genox out-hearted citizen will step forward with an offer to establish a monument to his memory through a liberal do nation to bo used in carrying out the plana that Kagluccr Mead has prepared. , lne represents eitncr a low sand filter, gravity filter or ar tcsian well system with a stand pi po and reservoir on the blutr, a new pump at the waterworks, new mains and everything else to make a perfect system. ' Not In Quarantine. Probably by misunderstanding. possibly by beinr misinformed, some of the tri-city papers stated that the Hart z & liahnsen company wholesale drug houso had bceu quarantined. This, we aro glad to state, is not tho cane. It nappens that tno nouse nas employes, who aro tilling Important positions, who aro in quarantine, ana this has put it to some inconvenience in its work of tilling its orders with the promptness and accuracy for which it is noted, but it has managed to get there, and has not been quar antined as stated.

MORE TROUBLE WITH THE RESERVOIR SEWER One point of stoppage in the sewer laid at such heavy expense last win ter to drain the settling basin at the reservoir has been found, but it has been 'discovered there are other im pediments in the pipe. The stoppage found was due to a collection of mud, and it is likely that this will cause much trouble in the future. Search ing for these clogged portions of the pipe is very costly work, owing to the fact that they are laid about 20 feet deep and tho sides of the excava tion have to bo walled up with plank to prevent their .caving in.
