The Paving.

The supply of Gslesburg brck in the
Second avenue paving became exhausted
again this morning. the PAYERS having
used as many brick yesterday as they do
in two days. and would have finished the
south side of Second avenue to West
Seventeenth street by tonight had not
this interruption come. A mistake oc-
Cured in transferring the bricl which has
already been shipped, and it will not be
here until late this afternoon.
In the meantime the bottom layer will
be laid on the north side of Second ave.
nue. so that the paving can go right
along when the material arrives.
In Difference to the desire OF the prop
erty owners. the space in front of the
Rock Island house will probab y be paved
with Bardolph brick. and il 50. this can
be done as snon as the under course is in.

A special to the Omaha World Herald
from Norfolk. Neb.. the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. c. G, Valentine, whose differences
we're amended In this city. as related Sat>
urdsy, says that they arrived there Fri
day from Rock Island, and that all is
lovely between them. The dispatch
says:
Early in September Mrs. Valentine
separated from her husband and COM
menced proceedings for a divorce and
soon after left the city with her uncle,
Judge Larimer, of Council Bluffs. Moth
ing further was heard from her until
when she returned to this city with her

After leaving the home of her friends in

They proceeded to the Harper house in
Rock Island, where they were Joined BY
Mr.. Valentines father, and the trouble
that had separated them was satisfactory

Practical Plans for Filling It This
Fall---A Fair Proposition 10 Come
Before the Council.
The wide brick sidewalk about Union
square is being laid rapidly, the Second
avenue side having been entirely com.
pleted. and the corner has been turned,
and work fairly commenced on Nines
teenth street. The more this work pros
crosses. the more unsigbtly becomes the
appearance Of the surface of the square,
and the more apparent becomes the ne
cessity Of filling it this fall.
At the last meeting of the Citizens
Improvement association, as readers of
the ARGUS are aware, the beautifying
committee of that progressive body was
instructed to 60 before the council at its
next meeting and urge upon the city ia.
theirs the importance of having the square
filed before frost enters the ground, SO
that the identifying may be completed
early in the spring. The coun>
Gil has shown by its action
that its ruling spirit fsvors having the
square filled, but the fact that the funds
have become exhausted out of which such
improvements must be made, has handi,
capped the council in carrying out its de
sire in this respect. But way out of
the predicament will present itself to the
council at its next meeting. in PROPOSE
ton from u local contractor who has plenty
OF teams at his disposal. to fl the square
at once and wait until next spring when
the new appropriations are made, for his
money. This is indeed fair proposition
and the council will probably accept it
and authorize the filling done under those
circumstances.
1t is very desirable. as was stated be-
fore the Improvement association Thurs.
day night, that the filling be put in now
so that it may have the winter to settle,
and that early in the spring the plans for
identifying it, such as covering it with
grass, putting in the cross walks, flowers,
etc, may be done. If the council &C
cepts the proposition spoken of, at its
next meeting it will demonstrate that
Rock Island can do what it never has be-
fore, conceive and carry out not only one
project, but two in a single season.

tempts to Take Possession Of a Car
hut Is worsted by Driver Jacobs.
Supt. Nevins in charge of the paving
operations on Second avenue had an ex
perience with Driver Herman Jacobs OF
car No. of the Davenport and Rock
Island line this afternoon. The trouble
grew out of plain usurpation of power
on the part OF Supt. Neyins. The Cal
was coming west on Second avenue
through that portion which is being paved,
when Supt. Nevins ordered the driver to
90 slower. The driver slackeued up his
steed. but did not get it down to
degree sufficient to satisfy Mr..
Nevins who boarded the front plat
form of the car. and exactly what passed
between him and the driver is not
known. but at any rate angry words en-
sued, which resulted in the driver catch
ing Mr.. Nevins by the throat aud chok>
ing him severely, and the two men were
only separated by Sheriff SIlvis, who took
the driver to the armory. Supt. Hill,
on bearing of the facts. went to the ar
mory and had the driver released.
Mr.. Nevins sfterwsrd swore out war
rant for Jacobs arrest for assault and
battery and the latter was held in bonds
OF 800 for appearance next Saturday.
Assistant Superintendent Hill furnishing
bail.
Mr.. Nevins claims that the contractors
have control of the street while the work
is being done; that they have given
heavy bonds for the faithful performance
OF the work; that the drivers have been
needless of his requests to exercise care
In driving through this part Of the street.
and that he had right to board the car
and admonish him to use care.
The driver claims that he was driving
as carefully as he could. that Nevins at
tempted to take possession of his car, and
he had right to resist his doing so. as
he is responsible to the company, not
only to the extent OF controlling his car,
but in making certain schedule time, and
that Nevius attempted to interfere with
both.
Eye witnesses sustain tae driver, and
many found fault that the sheriff did not
arrest Nevins as well as the driver, but the
sherift's only object was to break up the
fight, and In this he was right.
The driver, Herman Jacobs, is the same
man who had the exciting experience at

ling down from the detection Of thous-
ands who didn't believe in prohibition,
and the apathy and indifference of the
professed pr0hibiti0nists who failed to
stand by it. The democratic party, how
ever, was holding its own at all partisan
elections and getting good deal more.
Now the situation has changed. The
democrats say the people have ordered
them to repeal prohibition. Very well,
let them 60 ahead and repeal it, If they
can. But when they begin to handle
this question they will find their trouble
has just begun. The democrats In the
river counties will not be satisfied with
what the democrats In the interior will
demand. The democratic leaders will
have nice time in disposing of this
question. Let them walk the floor

The bourbon Blight.

Des Moines special, |: Some inter
estlng comparisons have recently been
made that neither with nor without
special significance are interesting, to
say the least. TWenty-six counties
were selected from all parts of the state,
half democratic and half republican. 1t
was found that in the thirteen demo
cratic counties the lands are assessed at
an average valuation of 81 per acre. In
the thirteen republican counties the as
sessed value per acre Is sal, q differ
ence of 50. in favor of the republican
counties. AS the counties compared
adjOin each other in many instances the
actual condition of the land ought not
to make that difference in valuation.
The lands may be better cultivated and
have better Improvements in the repub-
lican than in the democratic counties
and these figures suggest that they are
The assessed valuation Of cattle in
the thirteen democratic counties is
SseGe.?8 per head. In the thirteen re-
publican counties it is 1901 per head
In the thirteen democratic counties
horses have III as5fSsGa valuation of
1884 per head and in the republican
counties they are assessed at $3.50 per
head. But the diff erence doesn't stop
with the stock In the thirteen demo
cratic counties there are lO2,il5 persons
of school age and in the thirteen repub-
lican counties there are $3.50. The
total school taxes levied last year in the
thirteen democratic counties was SSlS.-
1856, or IS per capita of school population
But in the thirteen republican counties
the total amount of taxes for school
purposes WAS cS25,s.2, or 1928 per
capita. So the comparison might be
extended almost indefinitely, and it
shows that there is very much the same
difference between the republican and
democratic counties of Iowa that there
is between the republican state of Iowa
and democratic state like Missouri
about the same size.
