road is trihe over tenth OF a mile
and the equipment consists of motor
car aud two trailers, each car being five
feet long by two feet wide. The guage
OF the road is IA inches, the rails being
regular steel I rails, weighing II
pounds per yard The rails are laid on
. by 4 inch pine ties and bonded with
No. II copper wire. Instead of the

John Glrard Tells the Police . Story that

John Gir.rd Tells the Police . story that
Looks Peculiar.
John Girard. Of Newton, Iowa, an
pcarcd at police headquarters last
evening. Just as the night patrol was
in line for roll call, aud told . story
that seems to lack the essence of fact.
Girari's allegation was that at 6
O'Clock he was coming down Moline
avenue. when in front of Elynn's res
taurxnt he was approached by a
stranger who asked him for a dime.
As he was reaching down in his
trousers pocket for it. he received q
staggering blow on the back of the
head from pal Of the fellow who
had accostcd him, and rendered un.
conscious. when he recovered his
assaiIants were gone. and so was his
overcoat. watch aud chain. 3xa $500
in money.
Made Rigid lave I'll CATION.
Chief Sexton Immediately de-
spatcfc,l several officers 10 look into
the matter. Girard's story appearing
plausible from the fact that he had q
scar over his right eye. Officer
Weigand made a rigid investigation
with the result that he ascertained
that the hour Girard alleged that he
had been robbed there wera25 men,
at least, on the sidewalk in that i'm.
mediate vicinity. Hence the police
take no stock in his representa-.
tions Of Having been robbed.

GRAVE OVERSIGHT.
Men Who Leave Will.Makins
Too Long.
JUDGE SMITH on THE SUBJECT.

There Seems to he = supersiitioa About II,
hut It Rs . Costly One 1t All Evcsts-Llt
iEatioa that Is Almost sure 10 Follow
Testaments Made Late In Life.
1T has always been a puzzle to
me" remarked Judge Smith Satur-
day, when conversing with an ARGUs
representative concerning the long
drawn out Weaver will contest,
''why men will leave will-making to
one Of the last acts of their lives,
especially where something Of an
estate is involved. The drawing of
a will should he one of the most inn
portant moves Of mans life. lie
should attend il in the full
ness OF health. il possible.
instead Of waiting. as is too often
the case, until he is old and feeble,
and when. perchance, through physi-
cal ills or otherwise, there is room
to raise the question of unsoundness
OF mind. Too many men of ordinary
good judgment neglect this very
important transaction, and the con-
sequence is endless litigation and ex-
pense that might well be avoided.
IL cannot understand why this
duty is SO often delayed. unless it is
as l have been often told, through
superstition. many inclining to the
belief that after ones will is made,
his days are numbered, most ridic-
ulously absurd theory
Words Of Wisdom.
Those were words of wisdom on
Judge Smiths part. Within sin
months the two eases in the Rock
island county circuit court consum-
ing the most time and invOlvin" the
greatest amount of costs have been
disputes over wills, the Sinnet and
Weaver cases having occupied more
time than any other trials that have
been before the circuit court, and in
both of which the wills were broken,
and both appear, too, to be but the
commencement of lengthy litigation
in the higher courts of the state. In
both of these proceedings the costs
are enormous, consuming fully q
sixth of the value of tn e estate.
1t is as Judge Smith says, strange
that men of sound intellect and
Judgment should yield at last to
superstition. and neglect that which
they otherwise would not think OF
overlooking in ordinary business
transactions. Why they should be
more reluctant to provide for the
final disposition of their estate after
they are gone. than they are abou,
providing for life insurance and !:
benefit for their dependant ones after
they are gone. why there should
be more superstition in one case than
the other, is difficult question to
solve.

Cutting Ice.

Probably the busiest spot on the
river these days is the ice field OF
Weinberger 4 Hildebrandt at tn,
foot of Seventh street. About 81
men are engaged in getting the ice
from over near the Davenport shore.
An ice canal is cut through the ice,
which cost this firm $50. and through
this load after load is pushed. When
sufficiently near the platform the ice
is brought upon it with the aid OF
horses. and every load which i.
brought up fills a wagon. Forty
teams swarm around like bees. and
keep the men near the Davenport,
side very busy to keep them sup.
piled.
The men began cutting las,
