Rock Island Retailers Preparing for Their Trip to Joliet. The Bock Island Retail Merchants1 association meeting last night was poorly attended, other attractions being numerous, and little of import ance was done. A communication was read from the retail merchants of Freeport, stating that they wonld bring an ex cursion of between 1,500 and 2,000 persons here on July 18. Another from the retail grocers of Quincy stated that that body will take tbe town by storm Sunday, July 15. Regret among tbe merchants nere was ex pressed that the. latter would arrive Sunday, as many of our business men will not feel like playing the part of hosts on that day. Local Merchants Ontlnff. The matter of advertising the ex cursion to Joliet, to be given July 31. was placed in the hands of the excur sion committee. At the close of the meeting tbe sec retary stated that a good attendance at the next meeting, two weeks hence is much desired, as it will be the last one before tbe excursion and a new constitution will be ready for adop tion.

If current rumor is to be believed there is an end of all hope of this city that the Davenport, Rock Island. & Northwestern is to become but a link in a great chain of railway liae lead ing from the lakes at Chicago to the gulf of Port Arthur. This was the glittering prospect held ont to us by Mr. Gates when be was tbe controlling factor in tbe Pittsburg, Kansas City & Gulf. But since that road has been worked over into the Kansas Citv & Southern tbe situation has cbanged. It is now reported that tbe Chicago & Alton, the Kansas City Southern and the Union Pacific systems are to be amalgamated and placed under one management. btuart Knott, who recently resigned the vice pre idency of the Plant system, it is said has been elected a vice president of tbe Alton consolidated systems in stead of the Alton alone. . ibis posi tion, it is further rumored, will be only a temporary one, and before New Year's be will be elevated to the office of president of Xbe three Ilarriman roads, President Felton, of the Alton. eoinsr to New York to assume tbe office of chairman of tbe boards of directors of the three companies Mr. Felton has been in New Yerk for some time, conferring with Mr. Ilar riman. The rneeticg. it is said, is for the purpose of arranging details for carrying out the above plans. Since the three roads named, with the Oregon Short line, came under tbe control of the Ilarriman syndicate. there has been every indication that Mr. Ilarriman and those associated with him have been anxious to con solidate the great properties so that there would be a minimum expense in their operation. I he coming t gether will also enable the establish ment of a more complete traflic ser vice, giving the syndicate through lines from Chicago to Portland, Ore and to Port Arthur on tbe Gulf of Mexico. In none of these, however. is there any hint of anything of inter est to us. There is no possibility that the Kansas City & Southern or the Alton will reach our way, and there appears to be no indication that anybody else is going to push the line down in that direction.

Dr. Swensson said last night: "Bethany college is onlv I'J yeaif old. has forged to the front most won derfully, had 650 students last year and has improved financially most satisfactorily during the past four years, but it is as yet practically un endowed.

The city authorities have failed to receive prisoners recently sentenced by Judge Gest to labor on the streets, and complications between tbe city and county authorities may arise. In imposing the Hentence tbe judge exer cises the power vested in him by state law, but it is claimed that tbe cost of guarding prisoners while at work, together with their board, is greater thau the value of the labor performed and the city is not disposed to assume tne expense, wniieitis not known what steps Judge Gest will take in the matter, the fact that be has sentenced a prisoner to labor on the streets after being informed of the city's attitude, leads to the con elusion tnat ne intends taking some action.
