Jowa-IiIinoiS Boundary.

Chief Justice FULLER has modified
the order of the supreme court OF
March Z. in the original case involv-
ING the designation of the boundary
line between the states of Iowa and
Illinois BY the terms OF the order
of the date named the commissioners
were directed to mark the line at
each of the nine bridges spanning the
Mississippi river at points within the
limits of the two states in accord
ance with the decision of the court
announced several months ago. 1t
was shown to the supreme court of
the United States by counsel that no
appropriation had yet been made for
carving out the order of March Z.
and a modification was asked. which
would permit the commissioners to
mark the boundary line at Keokuk-
Hamilton bridge, when an emergency
existed for prompt action. and to
continue the work at the other eight
bridges as soon as convenient. This
petition was granted, and the order
modified accordingly.

An Important Meeting at the Improve

in which an Understanding was Reached
A Branch of the Ouinc,- mandatory
will Probably he Located Here.
An important meeting was held at
the rooms of the Rock Island Citizens
Improvement association last even
ing under the direction of the COM
mittee on manufactures of the 2sso-
citation. W. b. Ferguson presided
and Eli MoSenfelder was chosen see
rotary of the meeting. Besides a
number of representative local citi-
zens, Messrs. |. II. Lessen and Harry
Nelke representing the NoNall Over
all factory of Quincy were present,the
object of the meeting being to- con-
slider what arrangements might he
made to locate a branch of the factory
in Rock Island. the purpose of the
visit of the representatives of the in
dustry being rs stated yesterday,
being to establish such branch
here.
What is Wanted.
Mr.. Lesem explained fully and in
detail the condition of the factory
and the reason for desiring to
locate branch away from
Quincy. The present plant in
that city is one of the largest engaged
in the line of textile fabrics in the
country. While Quincy is in every
| way good point and the factory
there is prospecting and increasing, it
| is desirable to locate a branch estab-
| lishment somewhere within conyen-
| lent distance of Quincy. ut a point
susceptible of enlargement and where
| female help such as the factory en-
ploys is plentiful. The company is
| willing. Mr.. Lesem said. to throw its
capital. ability and experience into Il
new point. and in return it wanted no
| bonus. but merely to be recompensed
| for what it would actually lose in
| coming to point located as Rock
Island is outside of the company
beaten path not directly accessible to
Quincy, where its distri buting depot
| would remain. The factory started
| in Quincy five years ago and now has
400 girls employed. and incidental to
its establishment a box factory had
sprung up and grown. while laun-
dry had more than doubled its capac-
ity and business. The factory today
can dispose of four times what its
product amounts to and that Is the
reason it seeks branch factory. 1t
| would require a floor area OF 5000 to
10000 square feet. and to come here
it would desire n building at once for
temporary use, while in the near flu
ture the company would erect per-
manent building as it had done in
Quincy. All that it asks is to be re-
imbursed for time. trouble and labor.

ARBOR DAY.
A Pleasant Commendable Custom to be
Observed Tomorrow.


Tomorrow will be Arbor Day. and
Notwithstanding that the Rock Island
public schools are not in session now.
the dav will be observed in many of
the county schools and through the
country generally more than ever be
fore. The originator of the idea. j.
Sterling Morton, is now the secretary
of agriculture. and this will be in
clined to add to its popularity. The
main change has been everywhere in
the direction of improved public
opinion. 1t began first in the public
schools in all the states. This was
the best possible beginning. The
pupils had holiday in which to
plant trees in school grounds and
parks. The next step was to plant
trees along public highways. The
planting was always accompanied
with pleasant ceremonial observances,
speeches. recitations and music.
From this the next move was to
set before the people the frightful
injury done their farms by stripping
off the timber. especially near the
headwaters of streams. They were
set to thinking of the damage they
had already done and the ways in
which further damage might be
checked. Then they began to set out
trees on their private grounds. both
fruit and forest trees. Millions of
trees have thus been planted by the
children of those who cut trees down.

work done in his behalf by his counsel,
who put up the plea Of insanity as his
defense and was sustained by the jury.
It was hard fight. The fee was good
one, but the negro had no cash. In lieu
thereof he decided building lot in the
suburbs TO his lawyer, who accepted the
deed, duly signed and delivered, and
locked 10 away in his safe.
A short time ago he bethought him
that with the help of a building and loan
association he might put house on that
lot and increase its value. so he offered
the property for loan to one of the
home building and loan associations.
His application was duly received, but
when lac went around TO hear the result
the secretary told him that the commit
tee had rejected the application.
The astonished lawyer asked the rea.
