C. Maacker Plans a Handsome Building on Seventeenth Street. The city council is still debating over the sale of the triangular space of land on the west side of Seven teenth street between Fourth and Fifth avenues. W. C. Maucker opened the negotia tions for the acquirement of the prop erty, desiring it in order to carry for ward an extensive improvement he has in view, a $10,000 pressed brick building to cover the site now occu pied by his livery stable and the strip in question. The building he .proposes erecting will correspond with the one he re cently put up on Fourth avenue, and on its completion it will be leased by the Amazon Pickling works, of Dav enport, the entire floor space to be used by that concern as a distribut ing depot. Hence' it would seem for the lest interest nf the city to dispose of the ground in such manner as will insure the erection i,f an attractive building and at the same time bring other bus iness pursuits here. Owners of real estate on the cast side of Seventeenth street say if the strip is improved on the scale contemplated by Mr. Mauck er they will provide modern buildings on their property, so the city ought to remember that the best bargain to be struck is the one that, will help the city most. And in view of the city talking of placing a city hall in that locality, it ought to know the character of struc tures thaY are to be built there. PERSONAL POINTS.

CORNING PAPER SEES BUT ONE SIDE OF THE QUESTION The I'nion attempts the defense of the party playing tlie role of special detective under a special dispensation from Mayor Knox, one of whose esca pades was related. in yesterday's Ar gus. The argument is advanced that the detective (V) did his duty in chas ing a citizen to his own home. The morning paper does not concede, how ever, that in these burglarious times the citizen, as well as the detective, has a right to be suspicious of those whom he encounters at night on lone ly st reets. The burglars are still at large. PRESIDENT BOYD GIVEN HANDSOME DIAMOND RING Most of the master plumbers who attended the convention that closed here yesterday left- for their homes on, the morning trains.

There were a number of informal toasts respond ed to'nnd the speakers displayed no little, talent as after-dinner orators. One of the feat arcs that followed the feast was the presentation of a dia mond ring by the stute association to President T. J. Hoyd. of Peoria. Circuit Court. The ejectment case of Mary J.

ACTIVE OPERATIONS PUT Oil Plans of John Siegrist and the Rock Island Ice Com pany. Ice dealers who cut at the west end of the city are not making very good progress with their harvest. The chan nel, where the ice has to be obtained, has been slow to freeze to the requi site thickness and neither the Kock Island lee company nor John Siegrist has so far begun active operations. Mr. Siegrist, however, is making preparations to cut from the chan nel west of the Crescent bridge and will start a force of men Monday morning. He expects to put up about 2.000 tons. There is still some ice In the houses of the Hock Island Ice company, and as the field adjacent to the houses is poor it may Ite that no harvest, will be undertaken this sea son, the linn supplying its needs by purchase from wholesalers during next season. Moline Ilouncs Filled. The I'nion Ice & Coal company has tilled its houses in the cast part of Moline with a very good quality of the cool, the harvest having been completed Tuesday of this week. The houses on Kock river are still well stocked with the supply harvested last year, the cool summer and the flooding of the railroad tracks lead ing, to them haying prevented exten sive shipments. Therefore there will be no cutting done there. Most of the consumers who put up their own ice have done so. OBITUARY RECORD.

"JUMBO" CARLSON LEAVES WORKHOUSE ON LEG BAIL Sheriff lleider's force of deputies had a sprint this morning, the object being the recapture of "Jumbo Carl son, of Moline, who accepted a favor able opportunity to slip outside of the walls of the workhouse and make himself scarce, hate this afternoon he was reported si ill hard to lind. Carlson was doing time as a "vair, ' having been sent down from Moline for six months on this charge.

This morning about '- o'clock a wagon was backed into Hie gate, unloading rock and Carlson was engaged in helping move the stone. Having in the KisT shown so strong a preference for the inside of the jail as against the outside, it was not deemed necessary to keep a very rigid watch over him. Therefore great was the surprise when it was learned that he hail taken advantage of a chance to slip out on the Opposite side of the team from the guard ami get away. Chase was given, but Carlson seem ed to be in earnest in his desire to es cape anil he could not be overhauled. SherilT Heider is only hoping that he ran so far that he never succeeds in getting back. IMMocated Her bhonlder Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of Fergus Falls, Minn., .fell and dislocated her shoulder. She. had a surgeon get it back in place as soon as possible, but it was quite sore and pained her very much. Her sol mentioned that he had seen Chamberlain's Pain Halm ad vertised for sprains and soreness, and she asked him to buy her a bottle of it, which he did. It quickly relieved her and enabled her to f-leep which she had not done for ?everal days. The son was so much pleased with the relief it gave his mother that he hassince recommended it to many oth ers. For sale by all druggists. Stop It!
