Progress in Leather Dressing in America.
ROCK ISLAND, Aug. S.-Editor AR
GUS: Tanning and dressing skins
has become distinct and separate
feature of the glove industry, and
but few glove manufacturers dress
their own leather. Such remarka-
bic progress has been made in the
manufacture of sheep and lamb skins
that the great majority of the gloves
made from these skins are termed
kid gloves In fact. the term
domestic or imported kid is taken
literally by the trade as meaning
sheep or lamb skin treated with the
Kid dressing. Until recently the
imported "kid skins have been con-
sldered superior to those manufac-
tured in this country, as they come
largely from Germany. where a
greater amount of time is consumed
in dressing and tanning. but within
the past few years rapid strides have
been made by the United States man
ufacturers in dressing kid leather
from sheep and lamb skins,
and many experts now claim
that the leather made here is in
every respect equal to that from
abroad. One obstacle in the way has
been the fact that foreign manufac-
tuners have controlled the market
on the sheep skins, and have thus
drawn to England, Germany and
France the choicest skins in the
world. Competition and an in
creased local demand here, however,
created new market for these skins,
and American manufacturers are
rapidly being placed on an equal
footing with those in Europe.
Yours. GEORGE BENNETT.

Other Mishaps.
While engaged in eXcavating on
the Hennepin canal, for which he has
contract, last evening David Sears
met with great misfortune short
distance above Milan. falling in front
OF dump car in such manner
that it ran over his left foot, crush
ing and fracturing it. and bruising
him in several parts of the body. He
was attended by DR.. Virgins, of
Milan, and later removed to his
home at Sears, where he is resting
comfortably today, and his injury,
while exceedingly painful, will not,
it is gratifying to know. prove per-
manent in its effects.
Other Mishags.
Minor Curtis. farmer living five
miles southwest of Milan. was kicked
by vicious horse Yesterday after
noon, and two ribs were fractured.
Frank Tindall, while driving into
Milan Yesterday afternoon. was
thrown from his cart, short dis
lance east of the town. and his ankle
fractured.
William PAIL, n machine hand at

while working at one of the machines
this morning, had the second finger
on his left hand caught and lacerated

necessary to amputate it. Drs.

NOT A BID CAME,
Contractors do Not Seek More
Paving.
NO PROPOSITIONS SUBMITTED

The Duh Times Accountable For the Luke
warm Attitude of BIdders-Import,nt
Work That Should be Attended to but
Which the City Can Get Along without
II Necessary-Other Matters.
Not bid was offered to the city
council last evening for the paving
work contem plated on Seventeenth.
Nineteenth and Twentv-third streets.
The contractors attribute their fail
ure to bid to the condition of the
money market and dun times. They
claim to have great amount OF pa
per now on hand for work done in
the past and which is not bearino
anything. The consequence is the
contractors did not care to assume
any further obligations until times
ease up little. 1t looks very much
though. as if the contractors had had
their heads together. and that if the
city expected to do any more paving
this year it will be Obliged to look to
a wider field for bidders. The work
proposed on Seventeenth and Nine
teenth between Third and Fourth ave
nues is particularly important, and
public safety demands that something
be done, while there is a block on
Twenty-third that is nearly as bad.
Should there come heavy rain these
streets would be practically impassa-
BILE for the distance named. to say
nothing of The damage to AUDITING
property. As Il matter of course the
city can get along without the i'm
provement desired, but it will be nee
essary to do tremendous amount of
illlng If the streets are not paved.
and the work should be done well
while it is being done. if possible
Lighting .he City
The council determined to continue
to adhere to the low light system in
illuminating the city in future con-

lights are to be provided for. 1t is

THEY'RE AFTER TAYLOR.
\ ColOred Politician Receives an anony-
nous Warning Letter.


Last week, Charles II. J. Taylor.
the colored politician and editor, of
Kansas City, was in the tri-cities.
While here he received a anonymous
letter which he forwarded to the
Kansas City police. 1t reads as fol-
lows:
KANSAS CITY, Kas.. July CSC.
II. j. Taylor: You are hereby given
until August 10 to get out of the city
and state of Kansas, or you will be
shot down on the street at any time.
Now get out. and don't come back
any more or You will be killed within
l. days from date.
Purely Politics Probably.
The letter is not signed, and the
writing is in disguised hand. 1t
was posted at Kansas City on July
%. The friends of Mr.. Taylor are
somewhat exercised over the mvster-
ious letter. and are sure that it was
sent by some of his political oppo-
uents. They claim they have a clue
that viii lead to the arrest of the
guilty person. but will not give his
name to the public.
II looks rs If somebody were trying
to hoodoo the late minister to Libe-
ria and applicant for Fred Douglass

he could run but he does look like n
fighter.
