By reference to the time table of the Rock
Island road in another column of the Fuek
Thahkii it will be seen that several change?
have taken pluce. Going east the Kansas
City train passes this station at 1:57 instead of
'2:10 I'. m.; freight No. 24 has been changed
from S::V to 7:40 v. m., and No. W brings pas
sengers from Gencseo to Ottawa only, arriv
ing at '2:00 p. m. Going west the fast train
goes ten minutes later :J::30 p.m. The most
important change of all is in the accommoda
tion freight going west in the forenoon, which
leaves Ottawa now ut !t::0, and arrives at the
La Sallo depot ut 10:i"i, making a fust run be
tween the two cities for the accommodation
of those who wish to take the Central train.
A stop is also made at the Central bridge in

ever, withdrew , and Mrs. Dainty wassubstitu.
teil as the star. Mis. Dainty will be remem

All-the-Ruge company of some time ago. She
has developed into an actress of not a little
merit, and her reappearance will be looked for
with interest.

William Smith, employed in the west house
of the window glass factory, suffered a bud

and Dr. Weis summoned to attend him. He
is doing as well as'possible, lilthough the in
jury is a bad one und may disublc him for a
long time to come.

The Illinois River Bridge
The commissioners of Ottawa and South
Ottawa have finally settled the bridge mutter,
so far as they may be interested in any future
proceedings. , They have rejected all bids and
adjourned nine die. The reuson for such ac
tion on their part is best know n to themselves,
although explanations on both sides have been,
offered. Differences of opinion existed rela
tive to the merits of two or three plans sub.
initted, und those differences could not be
hiirmouizcd. Messrs. Maheraud McDcrmott,
of Ottawa, believed that, for the money, one
plan wns the best; und Messrs. Skinner, Drake
and Mills, of South Ottawa, and Meyers of
Ottawa, favored another. The public, wc
venture to say, Is thoroughly disgusted at the
result, but as yet no plain und immediate
remedy hus been pointed out. Some one has
suggested that the matter be left to arbitra
tion u hulf dozen business men representing
the two townships are named, and that the
decision of these arbitrators shall be accepted
by the commissioners. This proposition is
met on the other side by the questions,
"What does an ordinary business or profes
sional man know ubotit bridge building, or,
the strength of iron, bolts, burs, hooks, pins,
A;e., unless he has a practical and personal
know ledge of liiechanisiu t Why would he he
any better qualified to judge of the merits of
bridges built on paper and their specifications
thun the commissioners themselves?" Even
the public itself is divided on the question of
"combination" and "all iron" bridges. And
so the commissioners stand between public
opinion, the pesterings of a score of bridge
compuuies, und the danger that threatens the
property and lives of our citizens. It is an
open question yet whether or not the sugges
tions offered several weeks ago through the
Fkkk TnDfcit,to the. effect that an honest,
competent and disinterested engineer be em
ployed to make plans and specifications fur
just such a bridge as is required, pluce him
under bonds for the faithful execution of the
work and let the contract to the lowest bidder,
are not the best.
In the meantime ami during nil these delays
someone is responsible for any accident that
may occur. Tw o or three sets of experts have
iilrciiily examined the structure ami pro.
liounced it "unsafe," and even "dangerous;"
and the responsibility therefore is taken from
the public and placed upon the corporutc au
thorities of the towns or city. Are they ready
to assume that responsibility w hen the lives
of the community are in jeopardy, w ithout
taking some action to prevent an accident
that may have such a re-iilt? Will not the
ollieers be held personally responsible fur
damages, if damages accrue? It would seem
that there is a personal liability in the mutter
that would eullsc interested otlieials, either
city or tow nsliip and county, to make lia-lr
ami have the whole Vexed lie-tioii placed be.
yond the reach of trouble before trouble
really comes.
Yesterday J. E. Scotl made an effort to
huvc the ditliculties bet ween the two sets of
commissioners ad justed, and. a- a step in that
direction, secured from Mr. McDcrmott a
pledge that be (MeD.i would In- governed in
the mailer by the opinion ol such men as the
street and alley committee, the city surveyor,
and Messrs. Roddick, Phelps and Callin, pro.
vided those seven gentlemen will closely ex
amine the plans of the two competing companies--Canton
and Columbia and select the
best. If I hey say "Canton" the matter will
remain as it is unless the south Ottawa men
yield ; if "Columbia " he w ill vote with them
and the bridge will be built. The Fkki: Till
KU believe- an amicable settlement is pos
sible and -bould lie made ut once.

Ve desire to call the attention of all lovers of Good
Bread to the "Silver Cloud" and "Hungarian" brands of
Flour, manufactured hy us. These Flours are made from
the choicest wheat that can be procured. By a scientific
admixture of No. 1 hard Minnesota spring wheat w ith the
winter wheat, we produce a Flour possessing all the ad
vantage of each kind. The "Silver Cloud" is worthy of
its name, and makes the whitest of flaky loaves, though
it is especially adapted to pastry, biscuit, rolls, etc. The
"Hungarian" is our greatest and best known brand, be
cause it is the great bread-making flour, producing as it
does a white, moist, nutty-flavored loaf. Ask your grocer
for either brand. You will be well pleased.

Authentic information has been
that between Ufi and liOstreet lights in various
pints of this city were extinguished by the
high wind that prevnilcd on Tuesduy night,
leaving portions of the city in darkness. The
reason for so many lights being out is that
the lamps had been broken by the doors
swinging back and forth in the wind, the
lamp lighter In many cases failing to proper
ly fasten them. Numerous other lamps were
about useless from the flickering of the jets
in'the wind, which found ready entrance into
tin- In i ii j i through loose joints, broken lights
of glass, iVc. The present system of street
lighting might lie greatly improved upon if a
'ittle more care were bestowed upon the
lamps.

highly honored people by their townsmen in
Germany. This was well known to many of
the leading Germans of the city, who protest

matter was allowed to re-t, in expectation
that a retraction would appear in the issue of
ye-terday. As it did not, the Zwan.ig broth
