On ac count of tbe necessary abs; cce cccaiom d by sickness of the originator of the i lan. Rev. Mr. Marshall, the meetiDg was called to order by Rev. John II. Kerr, wto nominated S.

The tw Londta. The New London Clothing- company to day formally enters upon its career as one of Rock Island's substantial, represents-tive-ero-ahead business bouses. Having been busy since coming in .o possession of the original stock after it bad fallen into tbe bands of the sheriff, tbe new company has sicured an immense new stock of goda, and as per more extended announcement else where.is cow in readi ness to receive its friends and to treat tbem with characteristic old time cour tesy, liberality and fair dealit g. Of the new company little need be said by way of introduction. J. B. Sax, of Ottumwa, Iowa, one of the men chiefly interested is practically a Rock Island citizen. If tbe nearest and best social ties can bind a n an, and his 8uccc8tfi.il business career is too well known to require further comment. E. I. Leveen, who has been asrociated with tbe London from tbe time of its establish ment in Rock Island, bears a reputation as a hustler and has hrsts of friends. C. E. Rice.his associate ia the management, late of Ottumwa, liKe himself, is thor oughly versed in tbe clothii g business, and with this trio of wide-uwake busi ness men in charge of the Li ados, and a competent force of clerks, f.nd the lar gest and most carefully selected stock of goods ever brought to Rock Iland, the new London ought surely to ilourish, and it is not only the hope but the belief of The A noes that it will.

The child, a boy, is about five months old, and was play in 2 with his brother, a boy three years olt1. Tbe lat ter had a large brats backed comb, with which they were playing. The comb slipped in some way or other and struck the baby in the eye, cutting tbe eye-ball open.

One Way to Roast a Turkey. I was nmonfj the first to enter the new city of Chandler, in Oklahoma not as a lwinier, but .is a boomer's caterer, a voca tion which I decidedly prefer. Business was marvelously brisk while I was there, and so far as booking orders and taking in money were concerned I did well. But the tortures of hunger and thirst we endured were calculated to elraw profanity from tbe most careful of men. The best meal we hud was oft a wild turkey secured in some inexplicable manner. There were no cook ing uteuhils or appliances handy, but an old pioneer who had been through the mill before offered . to prepare the meal if al lowed to share in it. His offer whs accepted, and his efforts were watched with much incredulity and very little hope. He simply rolled the bird, feathers and all, in mud until it was caked completely. Then be roasted the queer looking concern over a wood fire, and when he thought it was done tore off tbe baked mud and clay. Feathers and skin came with the covering, leaving a not very inviting, skinless but weli brown ed bird. The loomer had timed the opera tion to a nicety, the turkey was cooked to a turn, and though it was of uncertain age, was fairly tender and delicious in flavor. Even making allowance for the sweet sauce hunger Ls admitted to be, it is only common fairness to describe that meal as a success, and I have eaten many a worse cooked and tougher bird in a first class restaurant. Interview with an Oklahoma Man. . A Boy's Attempt to Cheat the Treasury Speaking of the redemption of paper money, a very novel and interesting appli cation was made the other day to the divi sion of the treasury which has this business in hand. The story as it came out was as follows: An ingenious youth employed to sweep out a New York bank devoted attention for a considerable period to gutheringaip the crumbs from the tills in the shape of cor ners and other bits of notes such as get torn off and fall about in any place where dollars are counted. In tbe course of time lie got together a quantity of scraps of tbe 6ort Biifflcient to fiil a pint measure, and he sent them on to the redemption bureau at Washington in a box, with the explana tion that they had been eaten Uy mice. He stated the amount at $200, and asked for new bills in exchange. His little game was betrayed on the face of it by the fact that the pieces forwarded represented, if anything, not less than $1,000. The usual affidavit was demanded from him, swear ing to his lo&s; but he had not thought of that requirement and lacked the nerve to give it, luckily for himself.

Tl;e ft-jt Rtep in the operation of making an ax ia the formation of the ax head with out t he blade). The glowing flat iron bars are withdrawn from the furnace and are taken to a powerful and somewhat compli cated machine, which performs upon them four distinct operations shaping the metal to form the upper and lower part of the ax, then tbe eye and finally doubling the piece over so that the whole can be welded together.- A workman stands by, seizing the partially fashioned pieces one after another with a pair of tongs, and hammering the lower edges together. Next the iron is put into a powerful natural gas furnace and heated to a white heat. Taken out, it goes under a tilt ham mer and is welded together in a second. This done, one blow from the "drop" and the poleof the ax iscompletely and firmly welded. When the ax leaves the "drop" there is some superfluous metal adhering to the edges, and forming what is technically known as a "fin." To get rid of this fia the axe is again heated in a furnace, and then taketr in hand by a sawyer, who trims the etuis and edges. The operator has a glass in front of him to protect his eyes from the sparks which fly off as the hot metal is pressed against the rapidly revolving saw. The iron part of the ax is now complete. The steel for the blade, after being heated, is cut by machinery and shaped with a die It is then ready for welding. A groove is cut in the edge of t he iron, the steel for the blade inserted and the whole firmly welded by machine hammers. Next comes the operation of tempering. The steel portion of the ax is heated by being inserted in pots of molten lead, the blade only being immersed. It is then cooled by dipping in water and goes to the hands of the in spector. Manufacturer and Builder. Death anil the Tide. "When the tide goes out he will die." With the aur:ince born of long experi ence Ix'side deathbeds, the nurse in somber gray whimpered these words to one of the Ktifi'erer's friends in a tenement house in Seventeenth street. The mau had been working on the dock and a crane iind taiien and blruck him on the head. They bore him away to his squalid home. The company had sent ft doctor and a nurse, but these were now of small avail. "it is only a legend." "Yes, it Ls only a legend, but wait and see." There was the faint ticking of the clock, but that was all that broke the silence of the next few hours. The night eblied slowly away. Dawn was almost breaking. "The tide it is very near the full now," whimpered the patient watcher. "Come closer if you want to see. him die." And the little group in the room moved closer, and so, too, he died, died when the tide went out at break of day, and out on the iid'som of the tide had swept away, to ward h great, uulighted sea, a human soni.; "It is only a legend, I know," said the nursti afterward, "but I have lieen beside many deathbeds and never yet have I known ths fancy to prove false. There seems to lie even in death, as in life, a strange tide, and in the case of death a tide in same strange sort blended and act ing in keeping with the circle of the tide that runs out to the ocean."
