THAT'S WHAT TALKS.

Freeport BASES Great EXP citations on
the sale of IT'S street car Line 70
Eastern CapItaiisIs-Rock Islands
start.
The Freeport street car line has been
practically sold and there is little doubt
that II Will be controlled by eastern par
ties after the first of next month. The
news will be peculiarly interesting to
ROCK Island people in view of the fact
that the purchase and consolidation of the
tri-city lines was the keynote TO the pro-
gress and prosperity now seen on every
hand in the cities of Rock Island, Moline
and Davenport.
The Bulletin views the change about to
transpire in Freeport in the light of philos-
ophy, and commenting on the announce
ment of the transfer, says:
This will indeed be cheering news to
the hundreds of people in Freeport who
want to see more complete system of
rapid transit in Freeport. They have no
fault to find with the present owners of
the line. but they are strong in their be-
lief that if cars are run oftener and the
line enlarged it would be of more benefit
to all parties concerned, both in finan
cial and public way.
The gentlemen who will control the
plant after the first of next month are
eastern capitalists. They are men of
money and no expense will be spared to
make the line one of the most complete in
/ the west. They are men who have given
many years of attention to the studying
OF the electric system of operating cars,
In fact they are the owners of numerous
plants in the east and their knowledge of
how tc conduct a system of electric cars
is extensive.
When they assume control of the line
it will be extended to nearly every part
of the town. In fac loop will be laid
around the town. 1t is their present
intention to build at least five and
one>half or six miles of new track
and IN all will spend about 800. 900
The system of electricity used to operate
the cars will be of the latest improved,
such as is being used to run cars in the
large cities in the east.
The company that will assume the
ownership of the line, if the deal is con-
sumsted, and there is no doubt but that it
will be, firmly believe that the investment
will be paving one. They realize that
Freeport is growing town and it needs
a system of electric car service.
The new deal will be of great benefit to
the people in more than one way. Es-
peciallv will it be hailed with delight by
owners Of suburban real estate. as it will
increase the value of their property to q
considerable extent.

Police Points.

Samuel Mccormick was arrested on
Saturday on warrant charging him with
burglary. 1t was on complaint of James
Powell. Both men were employed at q
brick yard on Elm street, and Powell
claims that on the 9Th inst. he and Nc
Cormick were in barn talking when
Powell was called to dinner, and that after
eating his meal he returned to the barn
and found his trunk which he had kept
there, broken open and some clothing
missing. He alleges that he sfterward
found the clothing at neighboring
butcher shop where Mccormick had
pawned it. He will probably be allowed
to go into the county court and plead
to the charge.

Additional particulars concerning

Empire Order OF Mutual Aid at Buffalo,
N. Y, show that forty five death CLAIMS
remain unpaid. The policies are near.
ly ali for $4,000, SO that the order is
liable, for 100000. The assets are
estimated at about 100000. Irclud-
ed in this is the $4,000 paid to Mrs.
Byrant Cranlall, which is secured by
an indemnity bond. The courts will
have to decide the matter ofthe death
claims when q receiver is appointed.
The climants may not be paid the full
value Of their claims, but they will re
ceive q good portion. The cause of
the embarrassment OF the order is the
excessive rate OF mortality with which
it has had to contend for the past
eighteen months, and owing to the
numerous assessments the member

rass the lantern. Lenberg was reach
ing through a hole in the forepart Of
the ship, and was about to crawl
through when the explosion occurred
