SDThursday morning, Swede, named
Westberg, while polishing plow in the
grinding shop of the Moline Plow Co.,
met with serious accident by the burst
ing of the heavy walrous betting on the
emory wheel. His collar bone was broken,
and his breast face and arm badly acer-
ated. The unfortunate man was con-
veyed to his boarding house on Wells
street near Lynde. and DR.. Piper sent for
who did all in his power to alleviate his
sutferings. Although painful, his wounds
are not necessarily dangerous.
AS Thursday morning, .P. B. Fisher
was up before Magistrate, on complaint
of John s. Smith. poll tax collector, for
refusing to pay the tax. He was fined
$40 for refusing to obey the law, which
with costs $l.35, and the tax 50, made
$l3.35 in all Rather an expensive poll
tax. Mr.. Fisher justified his refusal on
the ground that partiality was. shown;
| that last year not more than one-fourth OF
his neighbors paid the tax; and in bis
opinion the tax was made profitable to the
collectors by means of sub letting the work
at reduced rates, and he therefore did not
consider it a legal tax. The case will
probably be appealed,

The opening of this new and important
avenue to the farming country east to the

The chairman Of the Illinois Republi-

anxious that we should believe that Cul-

hoped that he will. Even if the stories
about his connection with the whisky
