only a few years since the first OF these

About the safe Blowers

RCCK ISLAND. DEC. 2.-Editor ARGUS:
I notice in last nights ARGUS an
astounding story copied from the Dav-
export Democrat and credited to me.
stating that there were IS safes blown by
burglars between West Liberty and Cedar
Rapids. did not say any such thing
but told Davenport officer that gang
of bungling burglars were operating be
tween West Liberty and Grinnell; that
they had attempted to blow safes in q
number OF small towns. possibly some 25
cases; that in about Is instances thew
did not succeed, and had to GO out and
finish their jobs. The amount OF swag
secured by the burglars was small, in
many cases not paying for tn I,
powder they used, but creating quite an
expense in repairing for the owners of
the safes. Please correct as above and
oblige. CHARLES FIEBIG.

Foster on Epidemirs

Pref. w. T. Foster has made public
his predictions for next year. What he
says about the weather is not very much
interest, because the professor has missed
il so often, but the effect of this weather
on epidemics may be of interest, because
they have already started over in Russia
ard will cross the line over there in spite
of all quarantine regulations. Below we
give what the professor has to say on
the subject:
Cholera, smallpox, sunstroke; the grin.
yellow fever. diphtheris, and other epi,
de mic diseases affecting man; hog chol,
era, pinkeye, Texas fever and other dis
eases affecting the lower animals are pc,
riodlc, caused by the changed condition
of atmosphere, brought about by
sudden increase of electricity, caused by
the position OF the planets Jupiter and
Saturn.
| will not undertake to discus all these
diseases nor all the epidemic positions of
these two great planets. Saturn occu-
pies six of these positions in 295 wears.
three of which are easily traced in his
torical statistics, and Jupiter occupies
four OF these positions in lis wears. two
of which cause important epidemics.
will only try 10 establish one of these
epidemic causes at this time and this will
open up great field Of thought for our
medical students.
When Jupiter crosses the suns equator
as the former is going to peribelion the
greater epidsmics occur and their periods
are nearly II years apart. Midway be
tween these Jupiter crosses the suns
equator as the former is going toward
sphelion and following this event the lesser
| epidemics occur, which also have periods
of nearly II years.
Taking the records of sll nations we
| find that cholera epidemics have occurred
in the following years: 1905, 1901, 1907
1913, 1919, 1925 1881. 1896. 1912. 1s4s
1854, 1850 1866. 1872, 1877, 1883 an6
1889. and these are the years in which
Jupiter passed the suns equator. The
dates given are the beginnings OF the ep.
| idemics which usually continue from one
to three years.
The greatest epidemics occurred q,
about SO years apart, and that is the pc.
Rod at which Jupiter and Saturn occupy
relatively the same positions as in tina,
time when Jupiter makes exactly five
revolutions around the sun and Saturn
exactly two revolutions.
On the same basis we may calculate
the periods OF all epidemics that affect
man and beast. These diseases are
caused by microbes which are greatly in.
creased in number by great increase Of
electricity In our atmosphere. Electricity
is the life principle, and when i, is right.
~ understood BY our physicians they will
have better success in prolonging life.

WHERE is THE PLAT?
The boundaries OF n Moline school
District are UnknOwn.

The boundaries OF n Moline school
District are Unknown.
They are in muddle up in the west
end Moline school district over the boun'
daries of the district, the plat having
been lest The Lincoln school is over
crowded with pupils, and children resid>
ing outside the district are permitted TO
attend school there without paying tut
ton.
The fact is. the Dispatch says, that the
plat of this school district. which gives a
record of its boundaries, has been lost.
1t was filed with the county clerk to
gether with the proceedings of the trus-
tees, when the boundaries of the district
were changed, something like eight years
ago. Last year the superintendent of
schools. assisted by the county clerk,
made vigorous search for the plat.
This resulted in learning that the plat had
been loaned to some party who failed to
return it.
The Moline board of education took
steps some months since to determine the
boundary in the rgon of Paramount
Park, but has been unable to ascertain
anything official. The school authorities
are well aware that there are children
from Fairmount Park in attendance on
the Lincoln school, but they have no off,
cial record showing what district these
children belong in. They might go to the
parents. and say, 'Mr. So>and So as
sGres me you do rot belong to this school
district therefore you must pay tuition
for your children gong to the Lincoln
school," The parent would want to
know at once what Mr.. SO and SO knew
about it. or had TO do with it.
The Moline board of education will re-
munerate anyone who will furnish the
requisite official information.

Excitsment ON = TrAin-searehlng for =
Missing Passenger


The greatest excitement prevailed here
last night about IL o'clock when the
Bay Ridge train due here at 80 arrived
at the Short Line depot, where large
crowd had gathered awaiting the arrival
of the tran. All sorts of wild reports
were afioat as TO the cause of the delay,
and great uneasiness was occasioned by
parents having children and others hay-
ing friends on the train. Among the ru-
mors was one to the effect that a tele,
gram had been received here for the ar
rest of certain parties on the train for
rioting, and that child had fallen
from the car window and been killed
and that the train had gone back in
search of the body. All this added TO
the excitement of the people, and when
the train pulled into the depot at quarter
to eleven O'Clock the greatest excitement
prevailed. 1t appears from the best in
formation that we can obtain of the af-
fair, that the whole excitement was
caused by a drunken Washingtonian
named J. L. Voltze, who had gotten
aboard the train with the intention of
going to Baltimore. When the train
reached Hawkins station, near Annapo-
lis, scuffie ensued on the platform be.
tween the Washingtonian and another
purity, and an alarm was given that
child had fallen out of of the window.
This, with the drunken man, caused
panic among the women. who commenc-
ed screaming, when young lady who
was so frightened swooned away. The
train In the meantime was backed slow
lY back over the track to Bay Ridge, all
the train hands with lanterns searching
on every side for the mangled form of
the reported missing child. After fruit
less search the train returned to the city,
where the young lady was carried to the
waiting room still In an unconscious
condition and was then removed to her
home in the Western section of the city,
where a physician was called to attend
her. The man was arrested by officer
Taylor and taken to the station house
where he was locked up until this morn
ing. The young lady we learn has re-
covered consciousness, but is still in a
very nervous condition from the excite
ment
At hearing this afternoon before
Justice Gassaway the one arrested was
found guilty and fined So and costs,
amounting to 80 20, which was paid.
