During little entertainment at the res
idence of Capt. ". A. Thompson on Sec
ond avenue last evening. the family was
attracted by noise in the hall, and the
captain investigating ss to the cause
found strange man about so years of
age there, who while not naturally repul.
sive or dissipsted in his appearance, was
nevertheless SO much under the influence
OF booze that he was unable to give
clear and comprehensive expia nation OF
the why's, wherefores and whereofs of the
situation and the captain escorted HIM to
police headquarters. There ne gave lis
name as W W. Worley. of Aledo, said he
had been in Rock Island q few DAYS
on business and had perhaps INDUCED
little too freely in old time associations
though he was not nowadays a habitual
drinker He was walking along Second
avenue, he said, and was attracted by the
brightly lightly house of Capt. Thompson
and the sound of merriment within and
he IVES seized with an irresis .ible desire
to enter and he had just stepped into the
hall, when discovered, but that he had
no evil intentions whatever. He had in
his possession $40 in cash, certificate
of deposit for $500 on a bank at Galva,
and other collateral This morning
Magistrate Wivill imposed fine of SO
and costs, which the prisoner paid.

of the alien land law demonstrates
that the law needs amendment, but
1t does not demonstrate the necessity
of absolute repeal. The sentiment
against alien landlordism is healthy
