1t takes just as much material to make a
dress this summer as it did last summer, and
yet nobody knows just why this should be
so. Skirts are narrower and scantier than
they ever were before, and waists are tight
fitting and come down closely over the hips
in way that seems to take up no material at
all-that is, no more than would be actually
required to cover the figure.
Last year, you know, the skirts were very

Mr. Holmes Retirement.

Mr.. c. 3. Holmes, late president of the
Chicago City Railway Comps nv. has de-
clined his appointment as superintendent
of the company. and Mr.. C. ]. Luck. late
superintendent of construction has been
promoted TO succeed him. Mr.. Luck
will be remembered as the man who was
sent here by Mr.. Holmes to construct the
Davenport & Rock Island line to the
Davenport end of the Rock Island bridge,
in a short space of time offered under
the protection of an injunction.
The south side conductors and drivers
have had meeting and it is not unlikely
will all abandon their positions in conse-
quence of Mr.. Holmes retirement. One
of the men on being interviewed said:
THE moment G. B. Holmes went out
of Office there was dissatisfaction all
along the line. While he was always
strict and maintained the best OF disci-
pline he was always Just and had the re-
spect and love Of every man on the road .
OF course it is out of the question to talk
of reinststing him. He would not take
the position unless he could be president
also and that is impossible now. There
cannot help being clash between the
employees ard the officials

fore the 10th, but inasmnch as he did
file it on the Sd. and did not elect to take
advantage Of the time given him to file

he should furnish us with copies of proof

What would have been the result, had
you not known that tn case was filed in
the court before the 10th of December?
Why. according to rule 81. of the appellate
court. you see it would have been reversed.
but OF course upon showing to the court
it would be reconsidered by them and
justice done.
"Another reason why Mr, HAAS position
is notcorrect is found in rule %, which
provides that oral arguments will he

regular call of the docket on behalf OF
the appellee il he shall have filed his

was called before the 10Th OF December,
hence the court recogn zsd that the briefs
were due us before that day, since We
could not make al oral argument until
the court had been furnished with copy
of our briefs. As to the proposition OF Mr..
Haas that il was the other side and not
he who caused the expenses. it is too ri
diculous to be noticed"

man out in Davenport on similar feat
The Democrat of yesterday morning de-
scribes it:
People passing the corner of Second

to watch William Drsucker, man SO
years OF age. as he slowly walked across
Second street from the northeast to the
southwest corners OF the inter section

bricks. Two other bricks were upon the
curbing. at each corner and Draucker
upon completing his journey across the
street would deposit his pair of bricks
and pick up the two on the curbing. re-

the operation. He worked all dsy, ate his
dinner while walking. and at 5 o'clock
there were no more brick upon either

them at anyone the police officers let kim

passers-by cast upon him he minded not
The way Mr.. Draucker came to be en-.
gagged in his thankless Job is explained
thus: Friday evening he was grumbling
over lack of work IN the presence of sew
eral companions among whom was Fred
Applequist, OF Rock Island. Mr.. Apple
quist asked Draucker Whist kind OF work
he wanted. ANY kind" was the reply.
We'll If you will carry two bricks across
the street here for ten hours a day with~
out stopping for dinner. drop the bricks

and pick up two more, and keep it up
for seven days will pay you dollar and
q half day and give you $50 besides.
II you don't finish the job You don't get
anything"
Draucker concluded that this was $780,
80 better than doing nothing. and So he
started in on the job at I O'Clock Satur-
day morning. He is allowed no inter-
mission for dinner and quits a, 3 O'Clock.
Nick Newcomb is the stakeholder, time
keeper and referee. and as Drsucker is
under watch all the time he has To keep
in motion. Various opinions are expressed
as 10 his ability to complete his part OF
the contract. From the comments oi
persons who have witnessed similar tests
of endurance his chances of winning the

Queer Case.

Joseph Huber had a rough experience
shortly after midaight Saturday as he
was returning home from his saloon in
Huber's garden, on Moline avenue. east
of Wagners brewery. Mr.. Huber lives on
Ttirty-fifth street. the second door from
Moline avenue. Mrs. Murphys premises
occupying the corner. AS he approached
the gate to Mrs Murphy s ward he saw. as
he thought. two men crowdIng within,
but before he had time TO fully conpre-
bend the situation. one OF them jumped
up and viciously attacked Mr.. Huber.
striking him several ferocious blows on
the head and shoulders. Mr.. Huber was
carrying a lantern in one hand. while with
the other he reached for bis revolver and
attempted to IRE at his ssssilant, but the
fire-srm refused to operate. Finding that
he was helpless he ran away from the
brute and was soon in his own gate. The
men seeing the failure of their scheme
fed down Moline avenue. Mr. Huber,
though staggered by the effects of the
blows. recovered soon after. and is today
feeling comparatively comfortable. The
weapon which the hoodluns used, seemed
to be rock tied up in the end Of q
handkerchief.
Shortly before Mr.. Huber closed his
saloon Saturday night two Strangers left
the place. and the natural theory is that
they, supposing that he would carry some
money home-and they were right as he
had 500 on his person-laid for him
with the intent Of robbery.
