Rock Isla id at the Mercy of One Theatre. Aeothrr Hhoald be Erected, and a Practical Plan for Providing It with Profit to the Project ero.-ISoine Monad tougzcittle an. Rock Island is is dire need of another theatre. Tais fact has been apparent for some time. It is needed as a character istlc featuro of a growing city. It is needed in the interests of improvement. It is needed as a mean of keeping and amusing our own people at borne. It is neenea ai present apparently as essential to Rock Island's having an opera bouse or theatre at all. It has for some time been realize 1 by many that Rock Island ought to have two such places of amuse ment. Time was when this city pointed with pride, ttmply justiSed to as pretty a little theatre as there was in the state, but time, too, his brought changes; the opera bouse has run down, and instead of the improvements which were promised in the theatre this season, comes with au thority thf assertion that the house will in till probability be nailed up the coning se.isin. Exceedingly gratifyiny news that to a community that is just begir ning to realized that it is on the wave of popular advancement, isn't it? But wt at is Hock Island going to do about it? There is but one thing to do; build a new theatre. The plati is not impracticable. A thoroughly conservative business man was talking on the subject this morning and showed very conclusively how a syn dicate could be formed to purchase a site and erect a handsome building not for a theatre alone, but contiining one on the first floor of modern design though handsomer than anything io the three cities, but stores, offices and suites of rooms from wbich a handsome revenue could be dt rived. The plan was to put t where it would be convenient both to the cars from Davenport and Moline and also in the properly considered business portion cf the city. Mmtrt Alreko. There are smart alecks in every pur- suasion of human existence. You meet them on ever path and byway of life. You find tiem on foot, on horseback and on wheels. It is to this latter class that attention was more particularly drawn by an incident of last evening. Every man who rides a bicycle is not a smart aleck, not by any means, but there are men who ride byc'cles who are smart alecks, as v-as fully demonstrated in the event herein alluded to. It has be cornea pleasant custom of late for the local possessors of wheels to get out on the Second avenue pavement and enjoy themselves for several hours, skimming over the sm oth surface. The practice is not a disagreeable one; in fact it gives life o the thoroughfare, and therefore af irds pleasure alike to the merchant, the citizen and wheelman. But like all priv ileges, it has been abused. Recently some of the bicyclists have taken to rid ing close to the street cars, catching hold of the railings on the open cars and let ting the cars pull them along, and when the drivers object, as they should, the wheelmen become saucy and fresh and eay smart things. Last night a driver on the blue line snapped his whip at one of these fresh young- men who was hanging on to the car and drove him away, whereupon another rode up close to the car and kept so near as to almost touch the car for several blocks, thus attempting to taunt and ttntal;k-f the drivtr, who, how- ever, got the Itetter of the fresh young man by paving no attention to him. If the driver bail stopped the car and given the fellow a sound thrashing, there were passengers in the cur who, would have cheerfully paid any fines incurred. The habit alluded t. is an annoyance, not only to tl e drivers, bill passengers jn the car, and should be stopped by the police. The street car company has a right to di-mand this protection, for if this fresh young man of last evening had collided with the car and had been in ured, he would no doubt have expected damages from the company, and so it would be with others who might meet with misha and this is a case where the company ould not have been at all to blame. Kiirocer Nnnarc. The wort of preparing the foundation for the fi unttiin in Speucer square has been in progress the pact week under the superintenlence of John Lloyd, and it is expected that the work of placing the fountain in position will begin on Tues day. The balance of the ornaments will likely be received the latter part of next week. The ornamentation of t' e vases, figures and atatutary has all been provided for with tome trifling exceptions. Mr T. F. Caty and George Sutcliffe have agreed to (mint and ornament the Harper vaBc; Rabu & Co. the Huber & Wagner vases, Mr A.

From the arrangements as abovo it will be seen that the prospect is for some v;ry fine vork in the line of ornamenta tion. Our painters will nave a nne op portunlty to display their decorative skill, and we have no doubt they will inr prove the occasion.

Weldon, the Confidence Man of Wal lace at Company' Nhow, A rain Slakes) a Hani and to Again In Limb. While the Wallace & Co. shows were in Rock Island July 11, it will be remcm bered that Dick Weldon. a fine working confidence man, was arrested by Sheriff Silvia at the instigation of Detective J. T. Nerris, of Springfield. Ohio, who had been following the show for that purpose, Weldon having duped a farmer at Greene, Iowa, for $1 .000. Through the arrest by Mr. 8il vis this amount was recovered.and the prisoner liberated, much to Sheriff Silvis' disgust. But it ssems that the rascals had barely got their skirts cleared of Rock Island until they again commenced their fine work and succeeded in catching another sucker. this time for $1,500. Detective Norris got onto the game and got after the "con" men, though they bad threatened his life while here if be pursued them further. On Tuesday Sheriff Silvis received the following dispatch from Detective John T. Norris dated at Matteson, 111 : Come to Joliet on first train prepared to be absent three days. I bear all ex penses. The sheriff left that night for Joliet and there mul Norris who told him of the late work by Weldon and his pals des cribed further on, and that the show would be in Ottawa the following day. The two officers accordingly left that night for Ottawa and the next morning bright and early Sheriff Silvis again had his hands on Weldon. We will permit the Ottawa Ftee-Trader to tell the rest: Elvi Martelle, a French Canadian, liv ing at Kankakee, was fleeced out of $1,500 by "con." men following Wallace & Co.'8 circus. The men got MarleKe nto a little eanie bv wbich he could make soifhe money and at the proper moment took the $1,500 and skipped. A detective was employed in the case and tracked the men to Macomb, JU-, but they smelled a rat, so to speak, catching the detective and giving him a good trouncing. De tective Norris was then employed and came to Ottawa Wednesday - to arrest Weldon. Norris well knew that if he showed himself in the city the gang would skip, so he sent for bheriff Sil vis. of Rock Island, to identify Wel don. Deputy Sheriff Reed was fur nished a minute description of the man and at once began search. He spotted Weldon on Main street yester day morning, traced htm past the court house where Silvis was concea.ed ready to identify him. The identifica tion was complete, and Reed pushed out and arrested the man, placing him be hind the bars at the county jail. Kichard Weldoubad the lunch pi ivt- lege with Wallace & Co.'s circus, sml carried a special car of his own. Car No 25 is the number. In this car is served lunch and refreshments for the circus employes, and a gambling room is run in connection on the q. t. hen the Wal- ace show left its winter quarters at Pe ru, iod , lor the season.

Streckfus has built np a big busi ness peculiar to bis boat and a patrnoage such as he is deserving of. The White Eagle hsd a narrow escape from a disaster which would have plunged hundred of homes in the three cities in mourning Thursday. She had taken the M. E. church of Moline to Clinton on an excursion which the Ditpate.h describes as follows: An hour later the people were on board again now as eager to return home as they had been to start on the trip in the morning. It was now that one of those uncalled for occurrences took place which, on account of gross and criminal carelessness on the part of the boat man agers, can scarcely be termed accidents In backing out from the landing at Clins ton, the pilot undertook to run stern foremost through the draw of the bridge This piece of folly might have resulted less disastrously had not the wind veered around and struck the boat just as it entered the draw. The side of the boat and the wheel struck the bridge pier with great force. The excitement that ensued bid fair to become a panic, and it was with the greatest diffl culty that some of the people were re strained from plunging into the river. A. R. Drury in a fine frenzy of excitement called for "life preservers" and swung his arms around like a Dutch wind mill. The crash of the breaking wheel and terrible grinding noise as the boat struck the pier made it plausible that the side of the boat had been staved in, and that it would rapidly sink. Happily these fars were Dot realized, and the principal damage done was to the wheel. After some tie lay it was repaired sufficiently to make the home trip. The lluiap Boat. A wail of complaint is burdening the air in the vicinity of First avenue and Seventeenth street. It is all caused bv the city dump boat which is anchored at the levee there. It is claimed that a fear ful stench, prejadicial to the public health, permeates the atmosphere and to a degree particularly offensive to the olfactory nerves. Health Commissioner Eyster says he has investigated the jus tice of the plaint, however, and thinks it has hardly sufficient merit to require of ficial recognition or necessitate a removal of the boat. The box is air tight, and should any odor escape, it could only be when the lids are raised to receive the refuse. At such times, however, a disin fectant is employed which, thoroughly deodorizes the smell. The city refuse has for the psst few years been dumped be low the city, and a large reduction in ex pense is cited In justification of its pres ent location, although the public health would be a paramount consideration should it be conceded that its operation was at all noxious. The health commis aioner says If there is any disagreeable smell in the locality mentioned, it ema nates from a sewer instead of the dump boat. .

'rogres9 of the. Improvements at the Bridge. The Cofferdam Xearty C'omplcted- The PnmpInK Apparatns In Placc Kume Kutlmatco. The Davenport Democrat states that but a small section of the work of the cofferdam around the draw pier at the Rock Island bridge remains to be built around the lower end of the pier. and the inclosing wall will then be fin ished. It is a twelve foot cofferdam built of plank driven down to the rock bottom of the river, braced with string ers running traversely to the planks, and the two sides being connected by rods of iron bolted at either end. The space between the sides is filled in with mud dredged from the bank of the government island. The upper bulkhead is braced upon its lower side by a number of cribs filled with rock and sunk. About sev enty men are furnished employment at resent. A twelve-inch centritugal pump is in place, and it is hoped to have it at work by Aug. 1. It will then lay bare the bed of the river enclosed by the dam n about seventy two hours. Not long after August 1 building operations will be commenced and the- walls will rise rapidly. About 600 yards of the Joliet imestone to be used in their construction is on hand now, having been unloaded near the arsenal building. Some 3,800 yards will be needed in all. The big blocks are all fitted and marked, and wiii go into place rapidly. The Democrat continues: Between the cofferdam and pier is a , space of eight feet. This will he filled with trestle work and a track which has already been laid along the cribs below the upper bulkhead will be extended upon it. A steam der rick will lower the blocks of stone from the bank to trucks upon the track below, which will then be run out to the pier upon the track. Here four crane der ricks worked bv hand, two on each side of the bridge, will receive the blocks and place them in position. By the middle ot November it is hoped to have the lasf course laid on a draw pier which Lncle Sam will have every reason to be proud of. The temporary bulkhead at the power pool has been repaired and yesterdav for the first time the foundation of the new draw, which has been covered so ong, was laid bare. Tremendous ob stacles were overcome in the work of repairing the break, as this had to be lone when the river was at its recent high stage. The water poured through the aper'.ure in a boiling torrent, and the work of sinking cribs and planking them required an immense amount of exertion and no little skill in management. About twenty-five teams and sixty men are at work at this point, the teams and a ma jority of the men being engaged in remov ng the mud and sand wbich has washed nto the space between the two dams since the break. There are 70,000 yards of this debris to be removed, a large part of it the finest ot building sand. The work of laying stone upon the dam will begin early in August, with a proba bility of completion before the year 1891 closes. It will stand in the river eight feet below the site of the former dam. extending across in the same direction, and will be 700 feet in length. Cleve land sandstone is used here, 7.700 yards n all, and the twelve arches will contain 500,000 bricks. CITYCIIAT. Mr. 8 F. Lynde. of Chicago, is in the cuy. Mr. J.

Sorrow hasnpidly followed joy in the home of Mr. and" Mrs. A. D. Welch, in South Rock Island. Thursday night as if brought by an angel's visit, a sweet daughter gladdened that home.

In the first place Mr. Loosley showed that means you know, the dishes that color is something between a blue and green he called it celeste. You can see it when you come, for I bought just what too. Then I got a neat decorated chamber set, a pretty red water set, sis tumblers and (there's a splendid lot to choose from) and jelly glasses and fruit jars; these cost $1.85. For a reading lamp I chose a pretty center draft lamp, shade and vase de corated to match, f 3 00 and a lovely hanging lamp for $5.00. That finished np my money; but John came in just then, and spoons, Roger's plate. Of course I saw these things in more me, when jou what I've got, that Loosley's is just the place for people who want good things at reasonable prices. FIIED KANN.
