THE ABOVE REQUEST rs HEARD
l. da ly IN cigar stores, saloons aud
other p aces where cigars are sold, for
it is an undisputcd fact that most smokers
prefer mild cigar and that those who
have for a long time smoked strong
cigars, principally imported Manilas,
will, after having thoroughly injured
the stomach and impaired the nervous
system, surely want mild cigar, if they
could find the right kind.
How many thousands of smokers who
suffer from loss of appetite, headache,
nervous irritability, asthma, etc., and
who have tried all possible remedies
without success, might be cured if they
knew that their sutferings were caused
by the incorporate use of strong cigars,
and that they should only smoke mild
and properly prepared ones.
1t is fact that all mild cigars agree
we'll with smokers, for in most cases
there is lack of care in the selection of
the tobacco, and often the necessary ex-
perience for it is wanting, yet there is
one brand which suits the most fastidious
smoker, and that is

The negotiations between the Chicago
syndicate and the Moline & Rock Island
horse railway closed this afternoon. G. B.
Holmes. president of the West Side rail-
way, Chicago, paying to President Hunton
and depositing with Director Mitchell, at
the First National bank. a certified check
for $50, 900 on the First National bank of
Chicago. for all the stock at par. Mr..
Mitchell has money at the bank to pay
of the stockholders at the rate Of pal
value, and the road is now in the posses
sion of the new owners.
In speaking Of the deal this afternoon
Mr.. Mitchell said the syndicate had full
filed every agreement. had acted il
every way honorable and that the counci
would only serve the best interests of thu
city by granting the desired rights from
Market square to the bridge.
While no other money has changed
hands yet, the rest of the $780,
600 originally deposited in the Rocl
Island banks is still on hand and i
may be conceded that the trans
fer of the Union line and the Rocl
Island and Davenport Bridge franchise
only awaits the formslity of paying th
money over. The same is probably tru,
of the negotiations with the Davenport
lines, the only delay there being in con
sequence of the discovery of a new fran
chise on west Second street which tn,
syndicate is anxious to acquire.

PROHIBITION DID 1T.
A Noted Reformer Fails TO Meet an

Locked nm in Davenport

A Noted Reformer Fails TO Meet an
Engagement In Moline, and Why
Locked mp In Davenport.
The leaders of the temperance and pro-
hibition movement in Moline had back
set last night, and it would be difficult
matter to determine which was greater.
their disappointment at the failure of the
announced speaker to appear or their in
dignation at the reason of his 30 doing.
1t had been published that a great re-
former and advocate of temperance,
James Cornell. Of Ohio, was to speak in
the Y. NC. A. hall there, and great
audience gathered to hear the lecture.
The noted advocate of reform had been
in Moline about week preparing for the
event, and had succeeded in having it
pretty generally advertised. 1t is claimed
that Connell is a talented man and some
thing Of an orator. Lately he has devo-
ted himself to thorough study of the
temperance question and the scriptures.
The people had anticipated the pleas
ure of listening to one of the most
radical temperance addresses that had
ssembled-filled the hall to OVERLOOKING.
But the great reformer did not put in an
ha
spacious Y. NJ. C. A. hall in Moline until
about 9 o'clock, waiting for the orator of
the evening. He did not come. His
most interested friends knew not why.
They did not believe that MIR. Connell
was the man to wilfully disappoint an
audience. But whatever may have been
the past history of the man, it was evi-
Gent that something was wrong-wrong
to his most intimate friends. When it
became apparent to those who had the
M cling in charge, that the temperance
orator would not be present, the large
audience was dismissed and search was
at once instituted for him. who was to
have been the orator of the evening.
Then number of gentlemen eng aged
a hack and drove to this city they
soon got trace of their orator who had
been here during the afternoon and had
gone to Davenport TO investigate Il G
working of the Iowa probibitory law
They drove post haste across the bridge
and at Hotel de Kessler, whose employees
wear blue suits, brass buttons and pol
ished silver stars. they found their orator
who was taking a nap in a room, the ap.
polntments of which were of the latest i'm
improved iron bars. Connell, 1t was soor
explained, had become so enthusiastic
over successful operations of the prohib-
itory law in Davenport, that he took al
old friend into his confidence in his
mood of rejoicing and the result was TIL

The weather nearly always smiles ap-
provingly upon the yearly gatherings of
the old pioneers of Rock Island county.
The elements seem to agree together to
put on their best behavior the days the
old settlers meet. Today for instance,
was an exemplification of this fact, the
occurrence being the twenty third annu-
al picnic. which was held on the grounds
of the Seventh ward school house in
Edgewood park. There was large out.
pouring OF the pioneers, too. many being
present who had not done so before
for years. An elevated platform with
seating accommodation for the old set>
tiers. with seats in front for their wives,
families and friends had been erected in
the rear of the grounds, and there it was
that the exercises were held.
The business meeting was called to or.
der at II O'Clock by President A. NJ. Hub
bard, of Moline. There was music by
the Deere cornet band and fer
vent prayer by Rev G. l. Morgan, of
Moline, followed by song by the Moline
Glee club. Then the president, Mr..
Hubbard, delivered lengthy
vALEpICroRY ADDRESS.
Words. he said. failed to express his
feelings as he stood before so many of the
| men and women whose feet had first trod
the soil of this county and whose hands
had laid the foundation of the country
Mr.. Hubbard then reviewed the OBJ
| Jet of the association, to which
| was to perpetuate the memory of
| the old settlers, and traced the his
tory of the organization from its for
nation twenty-five years ago. The idea
of the society was conceived, he said, in
Rock Island, in December, 1865, when
meeting was held at the court
house, of which Mr.. Geo. Mixter was
president and Mr.. A X. Philleo, secre-
tsry. A committee was appointed to take
into consideration the feasibility of form
ing an Old Settlers society, the object OF
which was to gather and preserve the
memories of the old settlers. The com
mittee reported constitution setting
forth such objects at subsequent meet
ing held jan. 10 of the following yea
and the society was founded. Dr. Pat
rick Gregg was the first president ant
the time of eligibility to membership was
fixed at those coming here prior to 1915
and Mr. Hubbard said that while under
these circumstances the society mus
necessarily die, it had been decided a
the last business meeting to admit t
membership the direct descendants of the
old settlers forever. Mr. Hubbard thel
read the names of the presidents of tn
society in the order of their terms of ser
vice as follows: Patrick Gregg, J. "
Spencer, Jacob Norris, Lucius Wells
John e.. Ely, John A. Boyer, Davl
Halves, VIM. Bell, A X. Philleo. W. I

ton G. Chopper, Frazier Wilson, N
Belcher, Chss. Toblin, Adolphus Dur
lap, Daniel Mosher, E. P. Reynolds

Hubbard. Mr.. Hubbard expressed hi
keen appreciation of the Importance {
the confidence imposed in him in the er
trusting of the badge of authority to h
charge. and he was prouder of 1t than
it were q crown which had come to hi
by hereditary right. He then presente

Considering the salient points of what
the old settlers had accomplished which
might tend to perpetuste their memory
and be their lasting monument in years to
come, MI. Blsnding spoke of the break
ing of home ties and influences, the sew
ering of associations with childhood
scenes, the throwing aside of the advsn.
tages incidental to settled and familiar
community, the giving up of the essen
tisl elements of civil and social life to
come west to cast their lots where civil
cation was comparatively unknown. and
to lay the foundation of a new country.

tiers and within the brief period of fifty
years had Rock Island county grown

of which any locality might well be

for the number and magnitude of its
manufactures and the variety and extent
of its industrial agencies. Their output,

time in which they haye sprung into

for travel, traffic and transportation, how

the early times when old settlers hauled
produce and groceries in wagons to and
from Chicago, or listened for the whistle
of the steamboat TO announce an arriva
from St. Louis. Now there is not only
the same great river flowing majesticslly
by as in days of yore, but no less than

county seat with their thirty-two dali,
