The season is spoken of as cold and dry, with rain much needed. During last fall and winter much plowing was done. The cheapness of hay, says Mr. Campb-'ll, will make a shortage in meadow land, and the acreage of corn will be on the increase. Timothy and clover are mostly cultivated. Farm hands are reported scarce in con sequence of the machinery on hand hav ing driven them to seek other employ ment. The price of produce compels Ihe farmers to Lire as little farm help as pos sible.

Yesterday Sheriff Silvis sold to Dr. G. G. Craig his four year old Pat O'Mara. The horse b as a peculiar record.

Police Officer Loge surrendered bis star and club to Marshal Miller last night and retired from the service of the city in the capacity of guardian of the peace and morality. Loge bad made up his mind that the policeman's lot wss not exactly what he liked and will turn bis attention to other pursuits hereafter.

In today's Chicago IlcraW appears the following Joliet dispatch: The wealthiest convict who ever wore prison stripes at Joliet was discharged this evening and left at once for New York to sail for Switzerland. He carried a roll of bills amounting to $1,09;), after giving away several hundred dollars to convict associates. He has recently fal len heir to over $500,000 in one of the principal cantons in Switzerland. He is a handsome and cultured man, twenty-five years of age, and is highly connected in bis native land. There is much mystery surrounding his record, and all that could be learned from the officials was that he was sent up from Rock Island for one year for forgery. He worked as an artist in the granite department on de signs. The prisoner's name is J. C. Fulver, who was sent up from this county March 25, 1889, for forgery. Kbea a Joirphinr. The New York dramatic critics all were very enthusiastic over Rhea as ''Jo sephine, Empress of the French," and all paid her high tribute. ITere is one of tnem: The story of thj unfortunate "Jose phine" was very neatly told by Mr. Al bert Roland Haven. It must be a fear fully difficult thing to attempt to drama tize a series of historical episodes. I don't believe that the work could have been done better by anybody than Mr. Haven. Of course the play was not con ventionally dramatic, but it was interests ing, seemingly accurate and nicely writ ten. Rhea is a "right down tragedy queen." Alan Dale, in XT. T. Evening World.

Amos Gordon died at his home a mile southeast of Moline this morniog, aged 98 years, lie was born in New Hampshire and was within seventeen months of his 100th birthday. He settled in Rock IsU and county in 1842' and has lived here since. He was the father of Surveyor Daniel Gordon, of South Moline. He was a veteran of the war of 1812.

They are willing to pave, but they would like to have it done out of the general fund they would like their emploves to pay their part of it. This is an illustration of what manufactories can do to block a town's advancement. What the Union don't know about fire department efficiency would fill several large volumes. Rather than encourage a paid Ore department such as is character istic of. any modern wide-awake city.lt would rather go back to the unreliable and almost useless abandoned idea of keeping the team for the hook and ladder truck In the livery stable and speaks of "the wis dom of the old arrangement whereby a team and driver were furnished from a liverv stable in hot haste on the alarm of fire, to draw the hook anil ladder truck." That phrase "hot haste" is a distortion of the facts as they actually were under the old arrangement, but u it came from any source other than the Union it might be caded sarcasm. As it is it U simply ridic ulously idiotic. , Sterling is taking time by the forelock with a vengeance. A meeting was held last week at which arrangements for a grand Fourth of July celebration were made.
