Wants tn Trausfer

The Rev G. A. Nybladh's attorney has
decided that the recent anonymous lets
tiers, fires, etc. in Galesburg have made
that an undesirable place in which to
hold the trial of the case OF Nyblsdh VS.
Lindeblad. He has therefore moved in the
circuit court there to transfer the case to
the United States court at Peoria. The
matter came up in this way: Judge Smith
was on Saturday setting the trial docket,
and was looking for a case for Monday
Mr.. G. A. Lawrence wanted the Ny bladh
case set for that day. Mr. MURPHY. Ny
bladhs attorney, said that In thai case
they would be prepared to take up on
Monday motion to have the cHse re-
moved to the United States court. and
that they would have their papers ready
by that time. Judge Smith set tie Ny
bladh case for Thursday. so that IL the
plaintiffs motion is overruled this case
will come to trial at an early date.
Judge Smith this morning refused tc
transfer the case to Peoria, and ii will
come up for trial next Monday.

The Cars arelamInn

General Supt. Scbni,ger. of the Holmes
lines, received telegraphic dispatch this
morning that made his heart fairly leap
for joy. 1t was from the Lsclede Car
company, of st. Louis, and set forth that
nine OF the syndicste's new closed cars
had been shipped last night and that ten
more would be forwarded before the
close of the week. So that by tomorrow
portion at least of the new eauip>
ment will be on hand. and the new
cars. if built according to speciaca-
tons. will be dsndies-the finest that
have ever come to the three cities,
in all respects. Another closed car
wss brought over from Davenport
and placed on the blue line Sunday,
completing the winter service on that
route. the two cars recently added from
the Davenport lines having been so
painted as to match those provided last
year admirably. The cars expected are
a full set fer the red line, the bridge line
and the Second street line in Davenport,
the cars formerly used BY the latter road
having been repainted and assigned to
the blue line here and Third street road
in Davenport, it being desirable to give
the Second street smaller cars.

Fire Alarms.

The alarm of fire at 7:3O last night
brought out the fire department in good
shape. but in the absence of reliable
alarm, much confusion ensued among
the companies, and two of them collided
down town, but no serious damage re-
suited. The fire was in the woodwork
near the cCpOla on the old Downing
foundry building on Ninth street, but was
quickly extinguished.
This mornings alarm was caused by q
blaze in smoke-house in the rear OF the
City hotel, First avenue and Twentieth
street, but was extinguished by
hand hose before the iremen
arrived. though the Hollies. Cables,
Franklins and made good time, "Unser

The council recalled its action in the

reason for this was to save the expense of

Messrs. Champion and Mosenielder

The Good and the Rad.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox, in q little social ser.
mon, takes occasion to say: But, whether in
town or country place, he who seeks shall
find that which he seeks. The man or woman
who sets forth on quest OF evil is sure 70
find it, Early in life / realized that there
was more of pleasure TO be derived from OBJ
serving good than evil, and, consequently,
sought and found it existing in abundance

1t is the crude idea Of the youthful mind
that the world is divided into two armies
the good and the bad-one clothed in dark.
ness upon the left, one in garments of light
upon the right, and In deadly opposition to
each other. As we mix with the world this
illusion vanishes, for we find the two armies
clothed in the same habiliments, mixing to-
gether amicably, and the deadly battles are
fought, silently and out of sight in each
human heart, between right and wrong.
A great native virtue, planted too gener-
ously in human heart and deprived of
careful cultivation, often degenerates into
d rank vice, and the world not infreouently
mistakes a sterile and inactive nature for
one Of great chastity and self denial The
