MOLINE.

Yesterday a large number signed the
new water main petition, and from present
it will no doubt be adopted.
The council should take immediate cogniz-
next meeting. The requisite number Of
signers will undoubtedly be secured. We
are glad to notice that personal feeling in
the matter is being made secondary to
public benefit.
A number of young mechanics, and
others, who are employed during the day,
are anxious to see night school opened. |
There certainly should be such facilities |
afforded our working men who desire to
improve themselves educatioually. There
is nothing that SO effectually smoothes the |
rough edges of a mans character as
education, and it is hoped that the matter
will receive attention from those interested
in the progress of literary attachments.
The object is certainly worthy one.
On Tuesday night officer Teller arrested
man named Charlas f. Faith on COM
plant of Mrs. Griffin, with whom he board
ed, charging him with larceny of a gold
chain and breastpin and pair of sleeve
buttons Faith confessed the charge but
said it was only done in a joke; that be in
tended to return them, ETC., etc., and Of
fered Mrs. Griffin IS to let him off, which
she refused to do, He was taken to the
callaboose by officer Teller, and this morn
ing he had hearing before Justice Mapes
who sent him to jail in default of 800
bail. Faith is a printer and had just gone
to work at the ReUieao office. He came
here from Chicago. He is a young man,
probably 25 years old, and married. The
articles stolen were probably worth $40 in
all and it was question with Justice
Mapes whether he could bind him over on
account thereof,
Tuesday night, rich and racy family
episode occurred ON the bluffs, between
Richard Lane, horse doctor, and his
wife, formerly Mrs. Mckay, those un-
explored heights. y 1t appears that Lane
and the ex crusader have not lived amic-
ably together, in fact, as Lane states it,she
is not the woman whom Caesar would
have chosen. Lane has one child, by his
first wife, little boy, who, it appears, the
ex-crusader choked Monday and then
kept from informing his father of the fact
by all sorts of threats. Lane heard of it.,
however, Tuesday, and Immediately re-
paired to the house in company with a
policeman, to fix matters up. He found
her in bed, called her down, when words
ensued between them, during which the
ex-crusader was accused of leading a life,
not particularly notable for chastity.
Lane became noisy and disorderly, which
led to his arrest and incarceration in the
Pilgrims Rest" Next morning he was
up before Mapes, and was fined S. and
costs. He threatens to make some im
portant disclosures, which he claims viii
reflect on some who are not DESTROYS Of
being noticed in that way.

Dewey Dimock.
! The friends and relatives of Dewe
+ Dimock, the missing ex-city clerk Q
e Moline, claim that he has gone to Connec
e ticut, and that his going was known t
e them previous to his departure, they ais
e claim that he will return and honorabl
IS settle all his obligations.
e It Is to be hoped he will do so. He is
!. young man of fine abilities, and cannc
afford to rest under the dark cloud that

fore him. and can yet enjoy the confdenc
of his fellows, if he will only exercise d.
cision of character, and discard his forme

signs can be furthered. There are few,
