Unpopular y Judges.

The Galesburg Republican Register OF
Saturday co ntains a long account OF the
Inter Colleg ate orstorical contest which
took place there the previous evening,
and Of the feeling prevailing over the re-
suit. 1t says:
The first prize was awarded to the rep
resentative Of the college at Monmouth,
and the second to that of the Illinois
Weslian IN versity. while the young gen.
tleman from Knox college, at Galesburg,
ranked third. The judges in regard to
thought and composition were: Superin-
tendent George W. Rowland. of Chics-
go; the Rev. Adds Albro, Moline, and
the Rev. DIR. Crews. of Toulon; on deliv-
cry they were Congressman W. II. Gest
of Rock Island. the Rev. d. Orr, Peoria
and Senator w. w. Dodge. of Iowa, each
OF whom made his own separate mark
ings. The feeling against the result wa,
30 strong that figure was suspended in

THE WOODMAN'S AK,
Mckinnie Accused OF stilI WELDING
Ii with a View of Destroying the
Worthy Order---Eches

The Echo, the Modern Woodmen's or
gan. edited by near friend of Consul
Root, continues to accuse DR.. McKinnie,
of Moline. of being at 1.-The head of a
bsre-faced attempt to wreck the order. "
by trying to get new charter, and tina,
its importance and extent cannot be too
greatly magnified." The Echo adds:
To state 1t mildly, it was a dastardly
thrust at the life of the order by one or
more who ought to be its best friends
and most loyal supporters. Echo con-
graduates the order upon the ignominious
failure OF the scheme. 1t proves solidity
OF the order and the good laws and faith
ful state officers to discourage such in
cendisry attempts
The paper also publishes this resolu-
ton as passed July %:
ResOlDed, That we view with great re-
greet the conduct of our head examining
physician, p. L. McKinnie, in his dispo.
sition to force from this order exorbi-
tsnt fees, charges postage and expenses.
in circulating reports inimicsl to
the interests of this order, and
uttOEdlDIN W the character and
standing Of our head consul, and in con-
duct unbecoming a neighbor and head
camp officer, in forcing an entrance into
the head consuls office by legal process,
all Of which We unanimously condemn
and hereby enter our protest and cen.
sure.
To this the Moline Republican replies
Yes. it is possible, the above resolution
was passed by partissns of Root, but il
does not reflect the sentiment of the or
der. While it is not possible for the
writer to lay before our readers such facts
as have been brought out at recent meet,
iRgs of the order in this city, yet we can
assure them DIR. McKinnie is not idle,
and hopes soon to produce something
more apprehensible. The members of
the order. while restless, still have conf
dence in their head physician. The
Echo is having its day now, but Pat will
be heard from later.

be included in the stops of the all Amer

Secretary of State James G. Blame, who
tnrned it over to VIM. Z. Curtis, secre.
tary of the delegation, and this is the re-
ply that has come:

would say that il will be impossible for
the excursion rendered to the foreign
delegates to the International American
congress TO stop at Rock Island. You
must understand that the time allowed
for this trip is forty days and that only
large cities are to be visited; that the
programme for the route and the sched-
been arranged from Yesterday. the day
the train pulled out of Washington, until
November 18th, the date they return to
this city, and that inasmuch as it would
require the consent of the commercial
bodies of several cities whose arrange
ments for the reception of the guests
would be disturbed, should the present
programme be changed, have to repeat
that | cannot see how your kind invita-
ton can be accepted.
Very truly yours.
WILLIAM E CURTIS.
But Secretary Medill and Congressman
Gest are not discouraged yet, and the lat.
tet has written strong letter to Secre-
tary Of War Proctor showing how a visit
to the arsenal may be arranged without
interfering in the least with the route and
programme scheduled. 1t is this: The
excursion is planned to leave Omaha for
Des Moines early on the morning of Oct
%, arriving at Des Moines at o'clock,
and spending two hours. and thence go
to st. Louis, where they are to be re
ceived that night by the mayor, the real
reception and entertainment occurring on
the following day. Now it is Congress
man Gest's idea to have the tourists come
to Rock Island from Des Moines, arrv-
ing here at 3 or 4 in the afternoon. and
visit Rock Island arsenal and other points
of interest, and go from here to st. Louis
by night, arriving there early the next
morning. 1t seems as if this alteration
might very reasonably be made.

-Eight-H our Work-Those Gates.
The city council showed a further
determination to advance the best pos
sible interests of the city last night by
ordering Eighteenth street graded. paved
and curbed by special assessment from
First to Third svenues-two blocks.
The action was, with single exception
the negative vote of Aid. Knox
unanimous. and future meetings will see
similar steps taken relative to all the
streets intersecting Second avenue be-
tween Twentieth and Fourteenth.
The council further showed its wisdom
by ordering the curling and guttering of
Third avenue from Fifth to Twenty
fourth on Aid. Schuells motion, the only
opposing voices being those of Aids
Knox and Schroeder.
The council ordered Twenty-fi first street
cut through south Of Ninth avenue by
unanimous vote and a very proper deter
mination on the city's part. The sooner
all streets leading out from the city are
opened up. the sooner the city will grow.
The resolution of Aid. Howard for an
ordinance STIMULATING eight hours as a
days work in al contracts for municipal
work. brought out an interesting discus
sion. during which Aids. Howard. Lar
kin, Schroeder and Corken spoke in adj
vocacy of the resolution, and Aids.
Schnell and Edwards IN opposition to it,
the latter saying that while he would vote
for it, he believed it an idle notion, as the
next council would likely upset the whole

councils might upset anything this coun-

Aid. Corken held that the eight-hour
movement was gaining ground, that not
only in government works. but in the
city of New York it had become the
standard of the days work. Aid. Schroe-
der believed il the solution of the past
trouble in not having work enough for

furnish more work. The resolution was

More Work or Fire Hugs.

Another attempt at arson, as well as a
second attempt TO destroy the old high
school building, was discovered yesterday
morning. when a basket of kindling was
found under the stairs, where fire had
been started and il had sorched the
woodwork about it. Only the lack of
proper draught prevented the fend who
started it, carrying out his purpose. A
clock is missing. and the time before,
when the attempt was made to fire the
building. two clocks were taken.
