The man ner in which the elements pot to gether and brushed away the clouds and ploom for two whole days in succession was almost phenomenal and shruld serve to bring back a nor mal depree of optimism to residents of this locality. A finer day for the national holiday could not have been devised, and with the fair day that preceded it, the ground was dr'ed out so that gettinp about was a pleas ure. The day was observed throuphont the citj- and the county with a fittinp degree of patriotism. There was the regular suspension of business, and the ' picnics, , fireworks and all the rest. The majority of eople staid at home, as usual, but there were nu merous private picnic parties anil great crowds wherever there were public demonstrations of any sort. The ball games took a large share of attention during the day. and in the afternoon and evening I!Iack Hawk's Watch Tower was the.. Mecca of thousands, who went for an outing and to see the fireworks. The crowd was so large at night that there was a jam at the cars and it was well af ter midnight before rill the people were able to get away. Prospect park also drew a large crowd. There were several picnics in both the up per and lower ends of the county, and all were well attended. Owing to the fact that the clear weather gave the farmers their first oppor tunity for days to make war upon the weeds, there was an unusually large number who staid at home and put in the day in the fields. The small boys in the neighborhood of Twentieth street and Ninth avenue had a rousing patriotic parade early yesterday morning, the advance 'of which was a reminder of the battle of San Juan hill. Flags floated and firecrackers popped, until the mar shal of the parade, W. D. Mclntyre, satisfied himself that everyone in the neighborhood had been wakened. The celebration of the Columbia club at Huber's garden was an un usually successful affair and a large crowd was present both afternoon and evening. Something out of ihe usual in the way of a celebration was that which Dr. Taylor arranged for the patients and attendants of the Watertowrr hospital. There was a basket picnic on the grounds of the institution and an address by J. B. Oakleai. of Mo line. The music was furnished by the Marine band, of Moline, and in Herman Schmacht Slashed and Knocked Down With ISrickbats. In a saloon fight at Smith's place on Fifth avenue in the lower part of town yesterday afternoon, Herman Schmacht. the ice man. was cut with a razor ubout the left arm and knocked down with brickbats. He was taken to his home at Ninth street and Tenth avenue in the buppy uscd by the police department, the ambulance being away at the time. His injuries may be more serious than was at first believed. Henry 'lerry, colored, who was mixed up in the scrap, was placed under arrest and gave bail for an appearance.

BOARD IS TO ACT Franchise Expires Tomorrow- Company Seems Willing. It looks very much as though Milan will be without street car con nectio'n with Kock Island in the near fut lire. As has been previously stated in The Argus, the town board some time ago made formal demand upon the Tri-City Railway company for ce tain reductions in the fare to this city and the immediate installing of electric service across the bridges to take the place of the bobtailcd cars that have been run from time im memorial. The granting of a new franchise in the village limits to take the place of the old one which expired June '.10, according to the officers of the com pany, or will expire July G, according to the villape records, was made con tingent upon the company's yielding the above points. Kails Will Come I'p. As the company has made no move toward conceding the demands, it has been decided in the villape to order the tracks torn up and the service discontinued. A demand to that ef fect has been made by F. 11. Caldwell, president of the villape board, but Manager J. F. Lardner. of the com pany, asked that formal action in the matter be taken by the villape council, when, if the request were confirmed, the tracks will be taken up and the cars will cease to run further' than Sears and the Watch Tower. The Milan council will meet Monday evening and there is little doubt that the position of President Caldwell will he sustaiued and that an end of the street car service will follow.
