Murphy wanted that reward

In connection with its reference of the
capture of the Davenport jsil breaker,
Noel Bradford. at Geneseo. with the
stolen horse of VIM. Coyne, of Black
Hawk township. the Geneseo Neaos has
the following;
An amusing feature of this case was a
constable named Tom Murphy, from
Coal Valley. Murphy. who is q great
detective, had somehow heard of the
theft Of the horse from Moline. and had
somehow traced the thief there. He was
redho after the reward for the capture
of horse thief. The county gives S5C
upon conviction. and VIM. Coyne had
telegraphed around reward of $25
Murphy thirsted for that SIS. He de-
handed Noel Bradford pompously, sir

He went dcwn to the calaboose snd
saw the prisoner, and was for dragging
him out bodily and carrying him off ther

Murphy was staggering around. Noe

Monesmith saw the move, and quick as |

drop the weapon. Judging from the
desperate nature of the lad, he nigh

and regret all over the city. Mrs. Bixby
has accompanied her resignation by q
statement to Mr.. Bartlett of the circum-

dination, but i'll treatment and abuse
on the part of an assistant oper-
ator which has been carried on to
such an extreme, as she states, as to
impair her health, and she believes that
the efficiency of the service as we'll as her
own welfare demand that change be
made.
A petition is already in circulation
which is being numerously signed, and
which, before it reaches MIR. Bartlett, will
bear the name not only ofevery patron OF
the telephone company, but large num-
Der of citizens generally praying that the
resignation may not be accepted and
that the company take steps as will
be smicable to Mrs. Bixby's retention.
She has been in the employ of the Rock
Island exchange for six years and during

manner in which she has discharged heI
duties become very popular with every
subscriber TO the exchange, who feel that
they have right to petition for con-
t;nuation of accommodations which have
been characteristic of Mrs. Bixby as an
operator, in preference to one who has
not merited the same consideration. Mrs
Bixby is furthermore dependent upon hel
situation for her living and she should
not be compelled to make the sacrifice
that under the present circumstances she

Pea rsatl Again.

Supervisor Pesrsall, of Port Byron, is
in the city feeling the political pulse.
Pearsall has turned himself loose in the
shrievalty race, and doesn't need whip nor
spur. The county townships, especially
the upper end, are solid for him and he
drops into town occasionally to worry his
city opponents. When the republican
convention meets, however, Pearsail will
probably find Rock Island and Moline
arrayed against him. and the other candi"
dates ready to enter into any combina>
ton to beat him. The court house ring
proposes to capture the principal nomina-
lions and leave The crumbs for the rural
ties. This has been their game for several
years, and they prorose to try it again,
but with what success remains to be
seen.

music, who leaves this morning for
Florida to rest for few months.
During the two or three years she has
spent in G. F. College she has made
friends of every one she has met here
and won the warmest affection from
all her pupils. She is loved and ads
mired by everybody for her many
personal charms, while as a teacher
she has few equals. There is general
regret over her decision to sever her
connection with the college, and a
universal wish that she may be
induced TO return and take her old
position again next fall. Her place
for the spring term will be filled by
Miss Emily tombstone, of Louisville,
who will arrive to-day, and who
bears the highest testimonials as a
teacher of superior merit.
The semi-annual report to the
Board of Education of Prof. j. g.
Meadors, Superintendent of the Nc
Minnville City Schools, which we
publish on another page, will be found
a most interesting and instructive
document by all who are interested
in the education of the youth of Nc
Minnville. Prof. MeadOrs makes
two points in this report which should
be well considered by every citizen O.
this place, and the matters.urged up
on the Board of Mayor and Aldermen
for action. These are the regarding
of the schools, and the enlargement o
the building, the necessity for both o
which are clearly and succinctly Sc
forth in the report. The report alsC
reveals some facts which will prob
ably be matters of surprise to our peO
pie, viz: that large per cent of th'
educable population are not availini
themselves of the advantages Offered
by our schools, and that by far tn
, greater per cent of these are whit
t pupils. One reason for this we fee
: assured, is the crowded condition Q
. the high school building, and thus
| presented another argument for in
: creased facilities. We hope ever.
t citizen of McMinnville, young AM
old, will read the report. 1t will cer
, tainly give them a much better ide
f than they have ever had before o
5 the usefulness and importance G
. these schools.
