The report of the building committee made through Mr. A. M. Blakesley out lined the work of the movement from the time thii first subscriptions to the fund were m ide Jan. 30, '87. by two little girla. of Reyt olds, Illinois, and wt-re for fifty cents ech. To this was added, a little later, a gift of a like amount by a Rock Island boy. In May of the same year, the board of directors appropriated the surplus from the current expense fund of previous years, amounting to ovtr 200, to the sime object. On tbe evening of Sept. 2, '87, a meeting of members of the Association was held, at which $1,000 was sut scribed and a building committee appointed. The project began with a proposi ion to rent, and later, to buy No. 1609, 8 cond avenue, next to buy and rernodeJ the Armory building, and after some efforts looking to a joint building on Spet cer square, it was finally decided to buy a site and build. The question of location was of great difficulty. The commit :e cim-fully considered twenty three si.es, being all that were available that we-e at all suitable, and tbe result was a unanimous decision, by the com mittee tnd assotiii'ion, for the present location. Tbe purchase was consumated n Aug., '88, bv articles of agreement. and tbe transfer made by deed in March, 89, at which time entire payment was made and a satinfactoroy and clear title secured. The movement received great help frcm the state convention. Sept. '83, shortly after which the fund stood at $12,00(1, with all subscriptions binding. In Oct., '88, the committee decided on an architect, and since then have spent mudn time on the plans and held several 1 consultations with tbe best posted associ ation men in the country. The thorough, careful work done has resulted in floor plans verfectly adapted to the need of the association. In June, '89, the con tract for the foundation was let, which was completed in August. It rests on rock and is laid throughout in cement. The contract under which the present work is being done, calls for enclosing the building and finishing four rooms by Sept. V. next- The total cost of lot and foundation was $7,115. Tbe present contract is for f 16,290. The total available subscrip tion to the present time is $16,686. leav ing, af.er deductions for architect's fees and otl er expenses, over $7,000 to bo raised on present contract. Mr. B. F. Houghton, of Peoria, mem ber of he Illinois State Executive com mittee of the Y. M. C. A., made an ad dress on tbe significance of the corner atone to a structure, such as this prom ised to be, and spoke at length on the work of the association in the way of new biildings, complimenting the Rock Island braucb for what it had done, and dwelt cn the accomplishments of the Y. M. C. A. everywhere in the state. There was another selection by the male chorus, the benediction by Rev. G. W. Gal, and the exercises closed.

Well, last evening the new Wide. Awakes had one of their own little socia ble affairs. They had a keg of beer, and about the time the keg was empty and the firemen were full, John Rooney. who knew of the condition the men, went up to Trcraao's meat market at the comer of Third avenue and Seventeenth street and sent into the waterworks an alarm ot fire from the Fourth, ward to see the new company turn out. There was tbe usual clanging of bells, and tbe wild west exhibition on the street, as tbe team aanea aown in "not haste from a livery stable" half a mile away to the Wide awake hook and ladder house, Tbe firemen were in fine spirits for fight ing a fire, and the language they used as they went out of the bouse on the truck would have shocked the religious morals of Bob IngcrsoII. On the corner at Harper's theatre stood Leo Let tig, and as the apparatus came up he said something about the "scab firemen, "and the men on the truck forgot all about fire fighting and leaping from the truck be gan a fight on Lettig, whom they pounded frightfully meanwhile the fire might have been burning to its heart's content, but happily the alarm was false and it is no telling what would have been the outcome of the episode had not Rock Island public schools, and is thoroughly accomplished.

To get something that will be good of its kind, pleasing and useful, and not too costly, is what we all wish to do, but don't always succeed in. We store keepers all think we can meet these require ments; but perhaps in a China store, the things to choose from make it easier to satisfy oneself than in most others. If you intend making birthday, wedding orannivereary presents, wouldn't it be well to call and see what is here? I have a great many new things, some expensive, and some not at all so. Among staples are a new and very neat brown decoration open stock dinner pattern; something good enough for every day use, or far better if you don't use fine china, and in which you can have just what you want from a tea pot lid (for example) to a full dinner set. A regular 112 piece set would cost about $14.00. I have others for less one style for $10.75, decorated in colors. Plenty of Koae bowls ; plenty of ice tubs 01 taoie tamniers. yoa want some oi these.
