Listen to the locomotive whistle and
get the weather forecasts. That will be
the next departure made by the weather
bureau. 1t will be novel system to say
the least. Already the principal railroads
of the country have adopted the plan of
disseminating predictions by displaying
signal figa on trains, and the bureau
hopes to extend this system by having
locomotives give the signals by means of
their whistles. Prof. Harrington, the
chief Of the weather bureau, has arranged
a system of whistle combinations by means
of which persons living at q distance from
the railroads can receive the forecasts.
By repeating each combination few
times, with an interval of 10 seconds be-
tween. possibilities of error in reading the
forecasts will be avoided, such as may
arise from variable winds or failure to
hear the warning signal.

At the last meeting of the Moline coun-
Gil Mayor Vessel said he had received a

that unless the clause of the ordinance
compelling the company to keep its Office

pany will not build to Moline. but will
seek for another route to reach Rock ISL
and. The letter states also that the
ordinances passed in Rock Island and
Davenport contain no conditions as to
the time for keeping its office open.
Alderman McBeth said it appears
strange that the gentlemen should have
seemed satisfied only two weeks ago, and
now want concession. Itappeared like
the commencement of the old trouble with
the street railway syndicate.
Aid. Chadwick said the city should re-
ceive something in return for concessions
granted. in the use OF the bridge and

through the accommodation of its citi-
z,ns. We might be able to struggle
along as We have been doing, without
night Office, for few years lorger. but
the franchise runs for IS years. He
deemed it the duty of the council to look
ahead to the future. The council re-
fused to modify the clause.
The Dispatch adds:
It's we'll known to others, If not to
members of the council, that the represen
tatives of the companj objected to this
clause in the first instance, and expressed
the opinion that it woul be likely to de-

Corothers thought tine bank dangerous,
and Steckman had taken the lines and
backed the team in, and at the time of the
accident the latter was standing directly
under the bank, while Corothers was a
few feet away. The first intimation they
had of imminent danger was when the
bank caved slightly, covering Steckman.
and small pile falling on Corothers, and
before the latter could respond to
Steckman's call for assistance a larger
pile fell. covering him to q depth
of about three feet. Corothers gave
the alarm, and q party Of men
went to work to dig him out, but
it was probably half an
hour before his body was reached.
Shortly after its recovery Dr.
Virgins arrived. andiafter an examil alton
said that Steckman was dead. The body
was then taken to the warehouse of the
National Clay company.
Charles l.. Householder said that he
was working IN the clay pit near by when
Corothers came to the top of the bank and
told them that Mr.. Steckman was buried
in the sand pit. and the men with him
proceeded there with shovels and were
shown the spot, but it was Is or 90 min.

came visible, and they then dug olt the
