building All Glory to the Board of 'o3
The Rock Island county board of
supervisors is all right. 1t so. re-
corded itself yesterday in its action
regarding the proposition of build
ing new court house. At the last
session of the board, Supervisor Joe
FitZpatri ok, of Milan, introduced n
resolution for the appointment of a
committee to report on the cost. etc.
OF new building. As stated by
The ARGUS at the time. the commit
tee was thoroughly in sympathy with
the necessity for such move. and
accordingly made its recommends
tion for 4 structure to cost 1925. 900.
as shown by the Official record. Fol
lowing this up. the board-be it said
to that body's credit-caught the
progressive spirit of the times. and
yesterday adopted the recommends
ton of the committee that the coun-
~ clerk be instructed to take the
necessary steps to have it voted upon
by the people at the next general
election.
Necessity for n New Court House
For several years past the necessity
for new county court house has
been matter of comment by both
residents here and visitors to this
city. Not alone is the present struc-
ture an eyesore from an architectural
point OF view. but it is utterly unfit
for the purpose. Dark and drearv
and built for occupancy when the
county had but little business to
transact, it has long ago outlived its
usefulness. A few years ago it was
found necessary to do something to
provide more room for the increas-
ing business, and instead of facing
the question of a new building which
should have been done the
present county court building
on one corner of the square
was erected. Under the pres
ent arrangement it is necessary
to run out in the rain or weather of
any kind with books or papers which
are being transferred from one Office
to another. and there is no system or
convenience in the matter whatever.
Both Mercer and Warren counties
are now building court houses. which
will leave Rock Island the only cOun-
ty in this judicial district without a
new one. Every resident of the
county ought to feel Il certain pride
i'll the county institutions and doubt
less does. SO that the action of the
board will be commended by resi-.
dents of all parts of the county. who
have its welfare at heart. 1t is not
matter of city pride alone, but the
whole county is interested. Rock
Island has as good a name and stand
ing as any other county in the state,
and should have court house to
grace it that will he in keeping with
its reputation.

RUNS LIKE SIXTY.
Swift Motor Car on the Tower Line
summer Outing Trains.

Motor No. 60 of the Tower line, is
the fastest in the three cities 1t is
q double motor, 30-horse power, open
car, and has made the run from the
Tower to the Harper house in 16
minutes, whereas the regular time is
80 minutes. The distance is four
miles. which gives the car the speed
of mile in four minutes. An in
teresting feature about No. 60 is that
it has only 30inch wheels, there being
but two motors on the system with
wheels of that diameter. The stand
ard is sc inches. which size wheels
were used on the two open motors
last summer. This season. however,
President Louderback ordered Il
trial Of 80 inch wheels, as with the
larger size the cars were rendered so
high as to involve great inconven-
fence in getting on and off. There
was some fear felt that with the
smaller wheels the cars would not
make the schedule time, but GO has
overdone herself and 81 is not far
behind.
The discovery may result in small
er wheels being placed on all the cars.
A standard of 30 or 33 inches would
make the steps much lower and con-
sequently better for the public and
the company may be counted on to
make the change if wholly practical

Lost His Grip

w. j. Reed arrived in the city yes
terday and put in the day using the
telegraph wires looking for some bag
gage he says he lost in Chicago. Mr..
Reed states that he was in the Rock
Island depot in Chicago and was al
most ready to board his train and
wished to step outside minute and
inquired of a lady if she was going
west on the Rock Island. She re-
piled that she was going to Wichita,
Kas., and he then asked her if she
would watch his baggage moment
until he came back. She consented
to do so and he went out, returning
a few moments later to find both
his baggage and the woman
missing. Getting on the train
and going through he found
her. Upon being asked about the
baggage she replied that she left it
in the depot and did not have time
to watch it. He could not find it
and so came down on the train as far
as here. After reaching here he con-
cluded that the woman had his grip
under her dress in the seat and so
telegraphed the depot master at Kan
sas City to have the woman searched.
In the grip Mr.. Reed says are three
return tickets to Oakland, Cal, and
other valuable articles. No trace OF
the missing grip has yet been re-
ceived

MYSTERiOUSlY MISSING.
A Registered Letter Causes Inquiry-A
Lost Grip.

Ed. Foster is colored individual
who, until short time since claimed
Rock Island as his abiding place.
While here he had some business
transactions with Ferdinand Holdorf,
who runs the saloon at 1916 Third
avenue, the outcome of which was
that Foster left the city indebted to
HOldOrf to the tune of some $50
After he went away, number of let
tiers directed to him in Holdorf's care
were forwarded to him by the latter.
On Friday last there came a regis
tered letter to Foster in care of Hol-
DORIS address. 1t was delivered
there by the carrier and Holdorf reg
istered for it, This letter was not
forwarded to Foster. who today put
in an appearance and demanded his
his letter, which contained $40.
1t so happened that this morn
ing Holdorf reported to the po-
lice that about So'clock while he was
away and his bartender was for a
moment out of the Saloon the till was
tapped and the registered let
ter addressed to Foster, be-
sides so in cash and a bull
dog revolver taken. Holdorf there
fore, told Foster that he had
been robbed, and consequently could
not pay him, but was willing to give
him $25 and call the account between
them square, thus releasing Foster
from what he owed. The latter re-
fused to accept anything, but his reg
istered letter and applied to the post
office, and investigation showed that
the letter was properly receipted for
by Holdorf, who is accountable for
its safe delivery to Foster. Holdorf
was accordingly notified that he must
produce the money without delay as
the postoffice had nothing to do with
his former transactions with Foster
