A Trl City Club Informally Pi opened Will It Prove Advantageous The Knee Coarse More or no Than People Think. The base ball season havintr eniled. and Rock Island having won all the glory possible on the diamond, be anies having the credit of succeeding financially, there is already talk of plans for next season. That Rock Island will have a club in the West ern association, which it led this year, and that the franchise will be retimed here is a settled fact. Be yond this, however, there are other plans materializing looking to the betterment of the club. For in stance, some of the ball enthusiasts on the Davenport side having been shown how a club could be made to win and to pay, are anxious to join hands with Rock Island next year, and with the aid that onght to come from Moline, call it a Tri-City club, it being understood that the fran chise is to remain in Rock Island, and the management to be here, but Dav enport to furnish a portion of the subscriptions and also a park, and every alternate game of the home series to be played in that city. While Rock Island has carried a team through two lirague seasons and won the pennant in both, and Davenport has never sustained a club through an entire year, they have, never theless, always had a good team over there, there is good backing for a team, and they have patronized the games here liberally. Hence, the feasibil ity of the tri-city idea with a park on each side of the river. Theftl lie Trark. There is more to the Rock Island mile track project than some people may think. Those furthering the scheme have even gone so far as to talk of a manager, someone to under take the enterprise and see it through. The projectors, too, are looking about for other tracts, and in addition to the oneat the head of Elm street, have their eyes on other lo calities osscssing eoually desirable advantages for the laying out of the track. Tosr! I'p. Bellduue Hill, who held down the third hag f'r the Twins this season left last night for (ialesburg. No more iaithuil or hard working ball player ever tread the diamond. Pitcher Burrell left the eity last evening for his home in Iowa. Al though he was not with us long, he won many admirers by his hard work and gentlemanly manners. Second Baseman Joe Cuntillon left the city this morning for his home at Janesvillc, Wis. With his feet cocked up on the seats of the coach. with a ciirar in his mouth, the old i man looked more like a capitalist loan a nail player. Joe has evident ly put in a prosperous season, for besides having a little ro'l of monev in his jeans and a good suit of clothes on his back, lie had another outfit in his grip, a liule more than he had when he arrived with the flowers last spring, and on which circumstance now TnE Aunt s joins with his many friends in congratu lating him. Secretary McIIugh has a letter from W. D. Cantillon. assistant su perintendent of the Wisconsin divi sion of the C. & N. W. road, in which he offers congratulations to Rock Isl and on winning the pennant, allud ing to the remarkable record made by the league, and the reputation the city has gained. Making compar isons between the Rock Inland team and the Milwaukee club of the Wes tern association, he compliments the Kock Island management by saying that if Milwaukee had had "as good, the Cream City would have hnished with the leaders of the Western league. Mr. Cantillon, who, by the way, is a brother to our Capt.'jon, attributes Rock Island's success to keeping the team intact as far as possible tnroughont the season. liallroad Xotea. J. W.

After disposing of its regular rou tine business last evening, the coun cil, after refusing to pay the salar ies oi Otlicers Carnes and Kautz ever since their appointment by Mayor Medill, on motion uf Aid. Corken, from the. finance committee, who presented the bills of the offi cers separately from the regular monthly pay roll amounting to $91.6( each, fintlly gave in. Aid. Johnson, evidently tiring of the course taken by his constituents, which he real ized was anything but becoming of representatives of the people, voted aye on the motion, thereby breaking the party ring which has existed in the council over these bills, and mak ing the vote 7 to 7. Mayor Medill then cast the decid;ng vote. The bills were, upon motion, attached to the pay roll. Waterworks Connections. The committee which was in structed at the previous meeting to make a proposition to the D. & R. I. Railway company, allowing it to con nect wilh the inlet pipe now under construction at the waterworks, re ported , having met Secretary Lard ner, of the railway company, and drawing np a formal contract, a copy of which was forwarded by Mr. I.ardner to the directors of the company at Chicago for approval. The contract allows the railway to atta"h its pipes for a consideration of 225 per an num, the agreement being valid at the city's pleasure. Aid. Kennedy again disapproved of the idea of al lowing any corporation to have pri vate connections with city water works, believing it a better plan, if the company's water consumption is of such great proportions that it is unatde to pay for it at the regular rate, to allow said company a reason able reduction. Aid. Corken said that the company already was getting water from the slough and could not afford to pay for it at the regular rate, only asking the city to jrraut such permission for the betterment of sanitarv conditions, as the water now being used was muddy and unlit ior i.rinkitig purposes, and in so doing the city would be in $225 per year. Aid. Corken. then moved that the mayor and city clerk be author ized to enter into an agreement with said company on the basis of the con tract presented, and it was adopted. The llicyrlc Resolution. The resolution presented by Aid. Dauber at the last meeting, provid ing that bicycle riders use bells in davtimc ami lanterns at ni-rht. was reported adversely by Aid. Cramer from the ordinance committee, which view was adopted. A HEALTHY YEAR. Rock Island Makes the Itest Showing In lis History. 'The past season has been the most healthful in Rock Island's his tory," said Health Commissioner Eystcr, commenting on thctxtreme heat a-nd drouth of the summer last evening. The weather conditions have been more favorable to our gen eral sanitary welfare than at "any time before" in the city's hihtorv. There has been less illness, and the mortuary record shows a little over half the number of deaths of anv oth er season in the past 10. A"moii" child ren health has been particular! v good, there being but a very few cases of cholera infantum, and oniv one death, I believe." The Wrasher all Right. "So that while we all felt the ex treme and continued heat and long and uninterrupted drouth, the weather proved of good effect from a sanitary point of view. The drv hot air was much better for human health than the occasional periods of oppressive, muggy atmosphere that as a rule characterize our summer seasons." Kega. Taking advantage of his recent ill ness, his political opponents through out the county have industriously circulated the report that C. W. Negus had withdrawn from the shrievalty contest. This is a canard, pure and simple, and while the dem ocratic candidate's., interests mav have suffered some by his enforced inactivity, the circulators of the fab rication will discover on election that he is nevertheless a cood fin isher. 1 row inc. The town of Sherrard, the termi nal of the new branch of the R. I. & P. railway in Mercer county, is de veloping into quite a village.
