BOAT TICKETS NOT
GOOD ON THE CARS
People at Labor Day Celebration Re
mained Too Late for River
Trip.
Thousands of people spent the af
ternoon and evening yesterday at
Suburban Island park, where the Labor
day celebration was held. The address
es of the afternoon were followed by
a program of athletic sports, and the
festivities continued until late in the
evening.
A misunderstanding arose over the
arrangements wiih the steamers
Eclipse and Helen Blair, which were
chartered to assist in handling the
crowds to the island. The Eclipse
made trips to the island from 12 to 3
o'clock in the afternoon, and the Helen
Blair was held over and run to the
island from 12 until 7 o'clock in the
evening, leaving here on the last
round trip at 7 o'clock. Round trip
tickets were sold, and many were un
der the impression that there would be
a boat to the island until late in the
evening. The return trip tickets were
not accepted on the street cars, and
the management was criticised for not
arranging for boat accomodations.
FRACTURES ARM IN A FALL

fell over the rails laid along the street
to relay the Second avenue street car
tracks. He was taken to St. Anthony's
hospital, where a physician reduced
the fracture.
Numerous and Worthless.
Everything is in the name when it

ONE MORE WINTER
Bethany Home Will Remain in
South Rock Island
Quarters.
ARE NOT READY FOR CHANGE
Moline Is More Successful in Raising
Its Share of Funds Than is
Rock Island.
At a meeting of the Bethany Home
Protective association held last even
ing it became apparent that the home
must remain for another winter at
least in the quarters in South Rock
Island. It has been the desire of most
of those in charge of the institution to
get into another building, one more
comfortable and convenient during the
winter months, but this has practically
been given up. It is the intention to
secure such quarters, when they are
secured, that another removal will nwt
be necessary, and such a place can
not be found in haste, nor can the
amount cf land necessary be purchased
and the home built with the means now
in hand.
Fund for Kiirnri.
The fund of four thousand dollars,
which WE.S being raised in Rock Island
and Moline, the amount being divided
equally between the two cities, for run
ning expenses, is still considerably
short. Moline has been considerably
more liberal to the institution thus far
in the canvass than has Rock Island,
and their share has been almost raised.
A canvass of the business men will be
made there for donations to be taken
out in trade. Rock Island is far short
in its amount, and the indication is that
the right persons have not become in
terested in the institution as they have
in Moline.
The reports received indicated that
the work at the home is going on in a
manner as satisfactory as can be under
the present conditions.
ENJOY A DAY AT
