company has a large factory established
at Quincy, and it is their intention to es-
tablish a branch factory somewhere in

ing over the ground here and is pleased
with the city and surroundings. and will
no doubt report favorably

as the company's business is constantly
growing. which has been the cause Of
their determination to start branch
factory.
The city has several different locations
that could be utilized to an advantage in
establishing the factory here and the mat
ter ought to be looked into by the I'm
provement association, in order to let the
company know that Rock Island is awake
and DESTROYS of securing anything that
will be an advantage to the city.
Eli Mosenfielder, with his accustomed
public spirit, is pushing the matter of

News Gatherinr in America.

The role of the American press in the
growth of journalism has been distinctly
the development of news gathering as a
business. leaving TO the work of COM
ment only a subordinate place, and, in
fact, one might say comparatively in
significant one. In American news,
too, the field in which news may be
found has been greatly enlarged; a
much larger class of facts is drawn
on for letters and dispatches. News
in the journalistic sense has never
been clearly defined. Taken literally,
news is everything that a man has
not already heard; but no journal under
takes to supply him with news of this
sort. The line has to be drawn some
where between news which may be use
fully and leoitimately served up to him
on his breakfast table and news which
would either do him no good or to which
he has no fair claim.
When enterprise and business compe-
tition are allowed to trace this line with
out the control of either law or morality,
it is sure to have as many zigzags in il
as there are journals, and it is equally
sure that the commercial result will
largely determine the question of legiti
macy in the public eye. In CONNER
| cial country it is inevitable that the ac
| QUESTION of money should be the gener
ally recognized, as it is the most easily
recognized, sign Of success. AS a conse
quence of this, the modes of acquiring i
which only offend against taste or dis
erection, and are not legally criminal, are
treated with considerable indulgence, o.
even, in some cases, call forth admira
ton. Nothing is more unreasonable, il
truth, than the impotence of the Amer
lean public with the excuses of the new
gathering department of American jour
nalism, considering the enormous re
wards in money and in social considera
ton which it pays and has paid to thos
who work this field with least regard t,

Saving an Arm of.

gJol H. G. Hamilton, clerk of the
United States district court, was telling
yesterday how it felt to have limb Tut
off He was perfectly conscious when
his arm was cut off in a field hospital.
and says of it:
"It really doesn't hurt except when the
first cut around the limb is made, cut
ting the skin. That's because the nerves
are all situated just under the skin, and
after they are cut there is nothing to
convey the sensation of pain. Cutting
through the flesh is like cutting nail or
bit of dead skin-a dead feeling. Even
saving the bone is only a dull. feeling.
The real pain is over when the knives
get into the flesh. Atlanta Constitu-

The Game of Proverbs.

A game calling for ingenuity is "Prov-
CRIBS" 1t is rather old, hut perhaps is not
known to all One player is made to leave
the room, then three remaining select a
proverb more or less familiar. The first
player then returns and asks each player a
question. The answer must contain a
word of the proverb, and must be brought
in in its proper turn. When this is not
done in a very clever way the first player
soon selects the word, and having the clew,
gives the whole prOverb and takes his
seat, the detected player then leaving the
room. A proverb once chosen was, "Need's
must when the devil drives" and the as
constituent of the guesser may be imagined
when in answer to a question put to a
lady of we'll known refinement and gentle
ness the reply came, "Oh, you go to the
devilp' Her apology to the amazed and
laughing hearers was that she was in de-
spair of bringing in the necessary word

one she could think of.-Cor. Springfield
