The EOIfnP's whistle

The rafter Moline has whistle that so
nearly resembles the sound made by the
fire whistle Of Clinton that is difficult for
the residents OF Clinton to distinguish
them apart The Nsos says that "Clin-
ton people are often msed into the be-
lief that an alarm of fire has been sounded
and they wait expectantlY for the dis
tricts that are meyer given. This was the
case when the boat passed the other
night. Hardly had the sound of the
whistle ceased to vibrate when the tele>
phone al the water works rang, and the
engineer was called on to tell where the
fire was. He said there was no fire, and
he hadn't blown any whistle, and was
called a liar, straight, by an excited citi>
zen who said, you must think I'm a
darned fool. guess I've lived in this
town long enough to know a raft boat
whistle from the fire whistle. I'll find
out in the morning If you can get peo>
pie out in the middle of the night by
raising false alarm of fire, and then lie
about it and say it was raft boat. "
Clinton ought to do as Rock Island pro.
poses to in the near future--secure paid
department and do away with the neces-
sity OF arousing the whole town every
time there is fire. There will be nc
confusion of whistles and no necessity
for it then.

wife and daughter were the first people
who recognized him, and they had him
taken home and had him buried from
