Island gone before the public .vith so strong a tioket as it presents in its township candidates this year. For Supervisor. -Morris WV Battles, sandidate for supervisor, was born in Kingston, Ulster county, N. Y., and at .he age of 4 years was brought to Illi nois. The family located in Pike coun ;y in the village of Prairie and lived there for a period of about 12 yeart. He then went to Henry, Marshall coun ty, and lived there for about the same length or time. In 1S6S no came to this city and since that date Rock Is land has been his home. Most of the ears of his residence in the city has been spent as carpenter-contractor and he followed that work till five years ago, when he retired from the business. Mr. Battles followed farm ing while residing in Pike county with his parents and in Henry ran a gen eral merchandise store. He has serv ed altogether for two terms as super visor, and has been renominated as candidate for the position. He is one of the representative union labor men of the city and has been honored with numerous posts of re sponsibility by the labor organizations. Mr. Battles resides at 729 Seven teenth street. For Assessor. George W. Henry, candidate for assessor, was born in New York City Dec. 10. 1S34, and lived there for 20 years, receiving his education there. At th end of that time he came to this locality and open ed up the coal mines at Carbon Cliff. He sent the first carload of coal into Iowa in the year 1S57. He also engag ed in the mercantile business in Car bon Cliff. H has resided in this lo cality since his coming we?t and this oity has been his home for many years, having been for nine years in tiie grocery business. He has served for two years as deputy assessor under J. R. Johnston, and years ago served several terms as a; derman for the Third ward. He is a painstaking man in all that he does, and will make a faithful assessor. He is more familiar with property values than the average man, and is just ihe man tn make the coming assessment which is to be made on real estate for four years. The man who make? it must understand h:s business, and Mr. Henry is such a man. He resides at 1302 Second avenuw. For Collector. Orrin Leonard, can didate for township collector, was born in St. Lawrence county, X. Y. At the breaking out of the war his father en listed in the 9th New York volunteers and went south. He lo3t a leg at the battle of Coal Harbor and when h had practically recovered was given a place in the treasury department and moved his family of wife and three children to Washington. He could not recover his strength, though, and shortly after the war died as a result of his wounds. This made it neces sary for Orrin Leonard at the age of will not be a ftool pigeon. He will be heard from. He is the kind of a man the interests of the city neod on the floor of the municipal assembly at this particularly peculiar time. Frank Lawler will make a creditable alderman, and the people of the Sixth ward will not be disappointed in him. And what is better the entire city will be grateful to the Sixth ward for send ing bim to the council. He has no al liances that will deter him from serv ing the public faithfully. T. A: Pender made a creditable alder man during all the time he served in the past and will do so in the future. The people of the Fifth ward should see that he is again tent to the city council. John Sexton ouglit to experience no difficulty whatever in getting away with Weather Beaten Benson in thp Fourth ward election day. John Holzhammer, the democratic candidate for alderman in the Firs: ward is certain of election. It is mere ly a question of majority. Charley Smitk has- made friends bo- cause of the unreasonable and unjust campaign of abuse that Frank An drews has been conducting against him. Smith ought to have a majority that will place the teal of public con demnation upon the Andrews methods. Vote for Battles for supervisor. Blankenburg, Schaab, and Hill are the right men for assistant supervis ors. Elect them, every one. - If you want a new and uniform as sessment elect George W. Henry as sessor. He is competent to do it. Orrin Leonard will not only make a creditable collector, and will give hi.-t personal attention to the duties, but he is deserving of the position, A meeting of the democratic city committee and candidates has boon called at the Rock Island hoxis for Monday evening at 8 o'clock. Rumor ha it that Charley Ober; is about to be heard from for the first ! time since ae was ejected-alderman. Me proposes a letter to each voter in the Second ward relating wkat he has done. There is some satisfaction know ing that it will be much shorter than had Mr. Oborg undertaken to enumer ate what he has not done. Residents and property owners along Seventh avenue are taking consider able interest in the measures looking toward the Improvement of the avenue from Thirtieth to Forty-sixth treei with asphalt, and the proposed im provement is attracting the attention of the entire city. As this is certain to be the main drive between Rock Is land and lloline, the opportunity 1o im prove the avenue in a manner to make it one of the most attractive in this lo cality should be taken advantage of by the property owners. The question oi material, boulevarding and grade arc now before the board of local improve ments, and the differences of opinion as to the proper grade will undoubted ly be satisfactorily settled. An I ileal Urivr. As has been pointed out at the van ous public meetings held for the dis cussion of the proposed improvement the paving of Seventh avenue wiil make possible a relief of the traffic oa Fifth avenue. Owing to the railway tracks which parallel the avenue, the lower thoroughfare is unsatisfactory for ordinary traffic, while with a con venient grade Seventh avenue woulo become an ideal drive when paved and boulevarded. Grade it Iniportnmt. The question of the grade between Thirtieth and Thirty-fifth street is per haps the most important under consid eration. The estimate of the city en gineer on the improvement includes a cut of 15 feet through the highest point, but an average cut of 17 feet has been proDOsed and is being con sidered by the board. This means a cut of C7i feet at the highest point. The property owners, where the big cut would be made state that such a cut would resi.lt in considerable dam age to the property abutting the av enue, but tboso who favor the uniform grade between Thirtieth and Thirty fifth streets, maintain that the cut should be made and the property own ers reimbursed for any damage result ing. The plan for a boulevard is meeting with general favor, and will probably be adopted. SEE US ABOUT IT. We've enjoyed an unjual trade in Sideboards, Buffets, China Closets, etc., this month.
