MEXICAN PRISONERS.

Newspapers in the Southwestern por-
ton cf the United States have register
cd frequent complaints Of late against
the method of arrest and imprisonment
Of American citizens in Mexico. Not
that the arrests were made purely from
Il spirit OF vindictiveness or were I'M
deserved, but MeXico's system of dcten-
ton in confinement without speedy trial
or proper explanation of such dilatory
action is the ground of complaint. For
tunately these cases are more isolated
than numerous, more specific than gen.
eral. but that they do exist is not mat
ter OF doubt.
The Mexican government probably
does not intend that existing conditions
should be as they are. A solution of
the whole affair can easily DO found in
native characteristic of making haste
slowly where matters Of justice or diplo-
macy weigh in the balance. BESIDES
most Of the cases complained of arc to be
looked for in the interior and less Access
sible districts, where communication
with the general government is far from
speedy. American spectators and en-
terprising men have reached out after
the still unexplored and undevcloped
Mexican resources in much greater de-
gree of late years than formerly.
1t is not only possible, but more than
probable, that these hustling pioneers
infringe upon and break down customs
and regulations OF the county, and
such actions lead to arrest. At the
So nc time long incarceration without
trial is not cxcusable. The best rem

correspondent at Milwaukee, Wis:
With CLASSY, staring eyes, from which
the light of reason has fed, with sunken
cheeks and despairiLg means, Miss LYDIA
Lsndt was taken from Oconomowoc to
her home in Davenport, Ia, made hOpe-
lessly insane by series of hear;less pract
icsl jokes Miss Landt, who was pretty,
vivacious and about 90 years old, went
to OconomowOc last summer to visit
relatives. She soon became a favorite
in society. During the winter she formed
an attachment for handsome
young man of Oconomowoc. whom
she had met at several social gatherings
The young man paid her several slight
attentions, bat did not even attempt to
engage in q Irritation with her. In some
manner her unfortunate love affair he
came known aud some of the girls of the
village thought the occasion excellent for
= PRACTICAL joke. Accordingly letters
signed with the young mans name we're
sent to Miss Landt. These were kept up
for sometime until the poor girl began to
realize that something was wrong. When
she finally learned of the hoax the shock
was such that her mind gave way. Miss
LAndt comes of a highly respectable fans
lily in Iowa. and her friends there think of
taking legal steps to punish the perpe
traitors of the joke.

AFTER THIRrY.FIvE YEARS

mock Islands Oldest Business Fern
Dissolves-J. a M. R,senf,e,a pas.
aud Future.
Inc Oldest business firm in Rock Island
dissolved today, after period of thirty.
nve years OF pieasantness, progress and
prosperity. ]. & M. Rosen6eld, a mer
cantlle title as well known almost as the
city with which it has always been iden-
tined' has ceased to exist in its original
signlncance, though it continues
and will continue as the legitimate firm
name OF one of our leading business es-
adjustments. The firm of ] s. .Ros-
enfield does not depart from the field of
activity in which it has always taken so
active part. The change applies only
to the junior member. In other words
Mr.. Mayer Rosenfield is succeeded by his
nephew. Mr.. Meyer Rosenfield. The
brothers sever business relations of long
standing, and father and son continue to
carry it on. Mr.. Mayer Rosenfield will
hereafter enjoy the comforts of retired
life.
The firm of j. & NJ Rosenfield, whole :
sale dealers in saddlery. hardware,
leather and shoe findings was formed in
1856, Mr. Joseph Rosenfeld coming from
Germany. and his brother, Mayer. from
Kentucky that year. The business
started on small scale in half of frame
house on the north side of Second avenue
between Sixteenth and Seventeenth
streets. Two years later the firm moved
down TO the east end Of the Palace row
building and there remained until 1862
when the present Harper's theatre cor
ner, then Buford's block, was occupied.
Here the firm remained until the late
Mr.. Ben Harper purchased the building
and transformed it in a theatre when ].
q NJ. Rosenfeld purchased and moved
into the three story building they have
since occupied al 1926 Second avenue
As stated above, the firm has been sue
cessful in the highest sense. Both mem,
bers have proven themselves shrewd, vet
progressive business men, and the disso
luton now is due only to the desire of
Mr.. Mayer Rosenfield to be re-
Iieved of the cares of business life.
He has therefore disposed of his
interests to Mr.. Meyer Rosenfield,
son of the remaining member of the firm
aud who will hereafter be associated
with his father in conducting the business.
He is young man possessed of all the
rudiments of success, integrity, energy
AID determination, coupled with the ex- \
1erience of many years as confidential
smploye of the old firm. J. s. NJ. Rosen
ield continue then, notss of old, but with
lew life engcsfted into it, which will
carry it on to continued prosperity, is
he hope is of everybody in Rock Island.
