Arrow over the Electric

Yesterday morning the Central Street
Railway company in Moline commenced
taking out a switch just at the top Of the
hill. and by noon started to lay straight
track in its place. The switch WAS com>
posed Of tram rail. and in its place the
workmen. under orders of Superiptend-
ent w. II. Moore. started to lay the
straight line Of T rails. Mayor Vessel
got on to it, and notified Mr.. Moore to
quit laying the T rail. rs the ordinance
calls for tram rail. Moore refused to
stop the work and continued to lay T
rail. Mayor Vessel instructed Marshal
Kittilsen to 90 up and II the work was
not stopped. to arrest Moore and his men.
The marshal and several officers went
mp st 80 the Dispatch says, and ordered
the work stopped He told Moore not to
driye another spike or lay another rail
What will you do IL | drive another
spikeY" retorted Moore.
ARREST you" replied Kittilsen.
To test the officer, Mr.. Moore coolly
picked up spike.and drove it in. The
officers Immediately arrested him and two
Of his workmen, and they were placed in
the patrol wagon which was standing by
and taken down to the police head
quarters. The Dispatch further says;
One trouble with this ordinance. as
with a number of others is that it has no
penalty attached. MIR. Moore says t rail:
were being used because the company has
no tram-rails at hand. He AYERS that the
taking up of the switch improves the
street. no matter what sort of rail is used
He holds furthermore that the city auth
critics had no right to arrest him OF his
men. the ordinance not being penal one.
He says an Injunction should have been
gotten out had they wanted the work
stopped. lie threatens TO have Mayor
Vessel arrested for abusive language.
The affair was amicably adjusted thi:
morning. and Moore released.

THE average prices in Wall street the
past week were little higher than the
previous week. At the same time the
apprehension regarding money seems to
have been lessened. There promises TO
be less financial disturbance incident to
the distribdtion Of funds than was ex-
perienced last fall. Exports are in>
creasing. There is more confidence in
railroad management than while back.
and the symptoms of disturbance in that
direction are less marked. Foreign
bourses were quiet. with prices mainly
steady. At London discount was in
strong demand, and prices OF American
securities we're well maintained.

nitely known, excepting that the Repub-

and that Prohibition is carried by 5000
The capital question causes the widest ex-

in anything else. Sioux Falls, Huron and
Pierre each have about 10000 votes, and
each claims the location, but the result last
night was as deeply in the dark as it was
forty eight hours before. The vote will be
very close, and it is believed it will require
the official count to settle the question.

one dreaded disease that science has
been able cure in all its stages. and that
is catarrh. Halls Catsrrh Cure is the

Bride, president of the National Progressive

w. Fifer, of Illinois, in response to one
written by w. L. Scott, in which the latter
gentleman endeavored to sustain the posi-
ton he has assumed regarding the present
mining situation in Illinois. After brief
statement of the situation previous to the
publication of the SCOTS letter, Mr.. Nc
Bride says:
"Being willing to accept equitable eondi-
tions and prices, and TO effect an honorable
settlement of the present strike, the follow
ing is offered:
First, To work the second or thick coal
vein at Spring Valley for the price paid at
Streator, namely, 731f cents per ton; this
too, in the face of the fact that the mine is
yet in the crop coal, is full of faults and up
| TO this time has cost the company by their
own admission, over 81 per ton for mining it
Second, Believing that Mr.. Scott will ad
NIT the fact that more labor is required to
| mine ton of coal in the third vein at Spring
Valley than i'll the thick coal in Streator,
| we will agree to mine his thin coal for the
| price paid the thick coal miners at Streator,
| provided the company will do the brushing
and building; or. third,
ave will agree to an al justment of prices
and conditions such may be determined
| by arbitration, or by an agreement to joint.
| ly investigate, and be governed by the facts
developed by such investigation"
| Mr.. Mcbride presents an exhaustive argu
ment in answer to Mr.. Scott, and presents
| facts and figures which seem hard TO dispute
They show that while Mr.. Scott processes
| willingness 10 pay as much for mining as his
| competitors in northern Illinois he ignores
other and more important fields surround
ing him, combining himself TO a comparison

Their say they do not believe Mr.. SCOTS ar
gument is practical, and know that if it wal
applied in a general way it would close Mr.
