Charge IL to the Elementa-

The shifting OF responsibility on
the part of the municipal authorities
has ever been practice fraught with
startling consequences. The latest
theory is to charge the blame
of street conditions to the wealth
'er. The Union seeks to ex.
plain the reason for the deplorable
condition of the streets by the state
ment that the street brigade was be-
ing held off for seasonable rain TO
lay the dust and enable a thorough
job. The public was treated this
morning to the practical demoustra-
ton of cleaning up after and during
the rain. the general effect be-
ing the piliDg up of the mud
and throwing it water soaked
into wagons which acted as strain
ers to systematically distribute
it over the streets again-the dissem-
ination Of bright ideas on a gloomy
day to bear seed perhaps as soon as
the clouds break, in the sprouting of
further monuments to aldermanic
greatness.
After this when the streets need
cleaning pray for rain.

Heroic Louis X.

Could a circus manager in quest
of a daring equestrian have wit
messed the performance occurring on
Twentieth street this morning Louis
X. cleveland would have been en-
gagged at such a salary that his Fifth
ward aldermanic aspirations would
be henceforth abandoned. The hero
ism of Louis was realistic. He has
a young animal which gets bit gay
occasionally. This morning in hitch
ing it up to the buggy he forgot to
attach the line to the bit, and when
he boarded the conveyance away
the steed flew. Down Twentieth
street it came with terrific speed.
Louis was as cool as q cucumber.
Meditating while the animal contin-
ued its mad course, Louis stood up
and with a leap straddled the horses
back and conquered it without a
struggle. There was no damage
only Louis had his locks disarranged,
the zephyrs having removed his
headgear.

CLEANING COMMENCED.

Tho street Forces start on the Pavement-
Let All Rejoice.
The spectacle which has been so

mortalized yesterday through the
genius of DR.. c. A. Speidel, OF
a force of men cleaning the pave.
ment Of the city was present
ed this morning. Nor was it a
fancy, as many were prone to be-
lieve. 1t was a reality The sound
of shovels upon the brick surface, re-
calling the days of past adm:nissra.
tons. when this was regular thing.
fell with inexPressible gladness upon
the ears of the merchants who had
long since abandoned the thoughts
that the streets of Rock Island would
again appear respectable. The &C.
cumulations of the summer and au-
tumn had become .beaten down until
they stuck to the brick with adhesive
tendency until it took brick to re-
move them.
General eioicing.
There was general rejoicing all
along Second avenue when the once
familiar brigade appeared, and the
veterans of the city pay roll who
wept yesterday over-the emblem OF
their past deeds, which they viewed
with reverence. but dared not re-
move, wore happy, hopeful counte-
nancss again. The beginning has
been made. Now let us trust that
the good work will continue until
every paved street in the CITY is
swept of its unkempt appearance,
and if the proper disposition is made
of what is removed it will 90 a long
way toward filling up what remains
OF the slough. And it should not
stop with the streets. 1t should
reach out to the alleys, every one OF
which should receive the attention
common to this time of the year in
the interest of the sanitary well-be-
ing Of the community.
Long life to the thoughtful citizen
who prompted the work begun today.

The Monmouth Review, speaking
OF the prospects for the location of
the Western Insane hospital, says:
The principal claimants for the
honors are Rock Island and Gales
burg. The latter is making an earn
est fight for the place and it is said
is getting proposition into shape
for consideration. 1t is reported
that the board of supervisors Of Knox
county is ready to offer $40. 900 to be
applied to the fund to bring it there.
The city and people are also willing
to help. Rock Island seems to have
the best chance of getting the asy-
lum. The board of supervisors of
the county has appropriated $4,000
to be used in the purchase of q site.
Then Trustee Medill has options on a
number of tracts of land near the
city that lie just right for splendid
grounds. They range in size from
24O to 265 acres and comprise some
pretty lands on both the Mississippi
and Rock river bluffs and in the fer
tile valleys"

Inspecting the Locks.

On his visit to Rock Island yester.
day Lieut.. Henry Jervey, of Mai.
Marshall's engineer corps at Chicago,
was accompanied by Engineer Hall,
Of the engineer corps at Cincinnati.
The chief object Of the mission OF
these gentlemen was to inspect the
locks in the Hennep;n canal here.
Mr.. Hall had already examined those
at Tiskilwa, the general idea being
to adopt similar locks for use in the
fock river and the Green river in
Kentucky.

sNIDE ADVERTISING.
A Warning to Merchants Not to PatronIze
Transient Fakes,

A Warning to Merchants Not to Patr0nlze
Transient Fakes.
The fake advertising schemer is the
abomination of the century. Theo-
retically speaking. he is no more
worthy than the versatile individual
who works the silver brick and kim
dred rackets. He obtains money I'M
der false pretense, but in his case
his victim in a measure goes into the
transaction with his eyes open. The
shark who goes from place to place
beating his patrons as well as his
hotels and every body else who comes
in contact with him, comes around
once in so often. reaps his harvest
and passes on. And in every city
there are business men who come
under his persuasive influence. They
listen to his story, are fascinated bv
his visions OF the beneficial results
of his scheme; they give him their
money. and he is gone. He gives
them a snide in return and then
when the representative of some es-
tablished means of advertising.
whose fruits are known and whose
good faith and reputation are as
much part of the commercial COM
position of the community as the
merchant, comes around, manv of
these same business men who have
given the man whom thew don't
know their coin, hesitate and some
times doubt the expediency of en-
trusting that essential to success in
business-judicious advertising-to
the legitimate agencies of the city.
One Fake In Particular.
The most notable of the fake means
of advertising now displayed in the
city is the corner thermometer. Re-
Gently stranger worked up the plan
OF placing a temperature register on
q prominent corner and surrounding
it with attractive cards." The Their
mometer has been displayed, the
l'attractIve cards" are executed on
with a stencil brush. As for the
thermometer-the blue streak which
represents the mercury has not moved
a point from the % above zero notch
since it was put up 10 days ago.

WRIGHT WAS ALL RIGHT,
The Charge of Assault With q Deadly
Weapon Against Him Dismissed.

The Charge of Assault With q Deadly
Weapon Against Him Dismissed.
Police Magistrate Schroeder YES.
terday afternoon dismissed the pro-
ceedings instituted against Motor
man c. c. Wright by Michael Kava-
naugh for assault with a deadly
weapon. The case was the out
growth OF scuffle between Wright
and kavanaugh few weeks ago.
Mr.. Kavanaugh while intoxicated
acted contrary to Motorman Wright's
wishes on an Elm street car and was
elected therefrom. Words followed
during which tue motorman struck
Kavanaugh over the head with the
brass regulator. Kavanaugh was
afterward fined for disturbing the
peace. Then he had Wright ar
rested under a charge of assault.
The street car company took up
Wright's fight, retaining William
Jackson, while States Attorney
Searle appeared for the state. Mag
istrate Schroeder's contention was
that the prOvocatiOn was sufficient
to warrant WrigAt,s act.
On the Bridge at Midnight.
John Kelly didn't stand on the
bridge at midnight, as the story
goes. His navigators wouldn't have
it and ne lay on the bridge to slum-
Der off that Woody feeling induced by
rye extracts. He couldn't spare
time for reflection and appointed the
incandescent o'erhanging as substi-
tute. This put the guard on; he put

route to Omaha. He was "chased"
this morning.
Boys discharged.
Herman Thoms and Thomas and
Charles Anderson, the boys accused
OF the theft of old iron belonging to
NJ. j. Murphy. were discharged by
Squire Schroeder this afternoon.

THEY MADE BAD MONEY,
Denver Detectives Arrest Three
of a Gang of Clever
Counterfeiters.
Product of Their Exten-
Sive Plant.

DENVER, CoLo., May 19.-City Detec-
tives Loomis and Burlew have discovered
what they claim to be most important
job of counterfeiting, and have made three
important arrests, capturing at the same
time wonderfully perfect outfit for money
making. The prisoners are James c. Cor
bett, Charles Williams and George Allen
The first two were detected disposing of
some of the product to tamale man, and
Corbett has made partial confession. So
far as yet ascertained the gangs operations
were confined to dollar pieces, being made
of tin plated with silver.
Corbett and Williams recently came to
Denver from Grant, Colorado. They are
married to sisters, who were aware of the
employment of their husbands.
The authorities believe that a third SIS
ter and her husband, who live in Montana,
are also involved in the counterfeiting
operations. George Allen, the third man
under arrest, is thought to have acted as
mechanic for the others.
Secret Service Agent Walker pro-
nounces the dies and apparatus the finest
he has ever seen il all his long experience.
Their plant and facilities were also of the
best order. AS yet nothing is known as
to how many of the counterfeits have been
circulated, but it is supposed that large
number have been disposed Of as it is the
theory that Denver is but one point of
many at which they have been pushing
their goods.

COLOR LINE 0BL|TERATED
New Reform Inaugurated by
the Woman's Club of
Chicago.
Character and Intelligence Made
the Only Basis Of Admission
to the Organization.

CHICAGO, ILL, May 19.-The Chicago
Woman's Club has obliterated the color
line. Character, and character alone,
backed by intelligence, is now the only
condition of membership in that organ
ization. Race, color, creed, political lean
ings are pushed aside. This was ac-
complished last night after prolonged,
and at times heated, discussion, and to
DR.. Sarah Hackett Stevenson belongs
much of the credit for the victory. Since
Mrs. Fannie R. Williams, the well-known
colored woman, had become a member of
the club early last winter, the question of
color had been the one live issue in the
club.
But the victory is only half won for the
Chicago women. They must carry their
point in the Federation of Women's clubs,
National organization with which the
Chicago club is affiliated In the fedora
ton are number of women's clubs in
Southern cities. With them, wiping out
the color line is proposition which will
doubtless cause prolonged wrangle.

1t Is Estimated That Fully $1,000
Settlers VIII Rush for Reser-

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May ia special
to the Times from Guthrie, o. T., says:
The publication of the Presidents proc
lamation opening the Kickapoo Indian
country to settlement created great excite
ment in this section. Although everybody
was expecting the news its sudden an
nouncement came as a surprise. To-day
all is excitement in the towns surrounding
the new Ell Dorado, and everything from a
horse to bicycle is being got in readiness
for the coming race for farms, which bids
fair to equal the great rush to the Cherokee
strip.
Next Thursday at noon 132, 900 acres will
be thrown open to settlement. Eighty
three thousand acres have been reserved
for school-land purposes, but Governor
Renfrew gave out word to-day that he will
Immediately throw open the school lands.
This fact will help hundreds of people who
will fail to get in on the ground floor in
Thursdays race.
The trains are already bringing in hun
dreds of prospective settlers, and it is esti-
mated that by Wednesday night 1900
people will be lining the borders of the
Kickapoo country.

A VERY BIG COAL SHIPMENT,
The Captain of the British Warship
Royal Arthur Died on His
Way Home.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, May 19.-The
brewers picnic, which was celebrated to-
day at Richmond Grove, on the outskirts
of this city, ended in a genuine riot, and
several persons were seriously injured.
A man named Fred Markey had his
throat cut, and was found slowly bleeding
to death near the outskirts of the grove.
He was placed in an express wagon and
conveyed to the Receiving Hospital,
where City Physician Fowler was COM
PEELED to take sixteen stitches to close the
CHASTITY wound.
Markey was so completely under the
influence of liquor that he was unable to
give the name of his assailant. 1t is
rumored that he was the aggressor, and
stabbed some unknown man, who retail
ated by cutting his throat.
At present no arrests have been made,
the police being entirely at sea until the
wounded man RECEIVERS from his drunken
stupor sufficiently to be able to give them
information of the assault.
After the general fight took place party
of young hoodlums attacked Gebhart's s
brewers at Twentieth and streets, smash
ing all the windows by hurting cobbles
through them. The police patrol-wagon
soon arrived on the scene and one of the
gang was arrested and taken to the police
station. A complete list of the names of
those concerned in the latter outrage has
been obtained by the authorities and they
will all be placed under arrest tomorrow,
as the police are determined to make an
example of them. This particular crowd
has for long time been creating disturb

HYPNOT|zED WHILE DYING
The Occult Power Utilized to
Secure a Deathbed
Confession.
Maggie Bottoms Tragic Description
of the Murder of Million
aire FouSt.

ANDERSON, IND. May IA scene be-
lieved to be without parallel was enacted
| ere to-day. A AJudge of the Circuit Court,
aided by the court stenographer, took
| down the statements of a dying woman
| under the influence of hypnotism. Should
| the Judge accept the statements as true
they will cut great figure in a murder
mystery.
George Hires was sentenced by Judge
Ellison to thirteen years in the peniten-
tiary on conviction of the murder of Will
liam Foust, July 8 last. The main witness
against him was Maggie Bottom. After
the trial she confessed that her testimony
was false, and that she herself had done
the deed. DR.. J. B. Callen, who claims 10
have hypnotic power, was granted permits
sion to place the woman in the hypnotic
state to ascertain which of her statements
was the correct one.
To-day Judge Ellison, the official court
stenographer and DR.. CalIen went to the
hospital, where Mrs. Bottom is said to be
on her deathbed from consumption. and in
the presence of witnesses soon had the
woman in the hypnotic state. Mrs. Bottom
spoke in loud, clear tone, though hereto
fore, on account of her weakness, she was
scarcely able to whisper. Mrs. Bottom
seemed to live again on the night of the
crime, and in forcible manner she re.
counted the details OF the crime.
Mrs. Bottom said the shot that killed
Foust was fired by Hires. Her confession
that she had done the deed was extorted
from her by Hires, who said the authori-
ties suspected her son.
After she had been brought out of the
hypnotic state she did not remember any,
thing of what she had just told. Judge
Ellison was greatly impressed, but he de-
clined to state what effect it would have on
his ruling in the case. A motion for a new
trial for Hires is pending
