Deere Imports Huns.

Thirty Hungarians arrived last
evening to occupy the positions of
Deere Il Co.'S. grinders, who went out
on a strike few weeks ago because
their employer refused a restoration
of the wages paid in 1898. The for
eigners were imported from Indiana
by Mr.. Deere, rather than allow any
concessions to his men, who submit
ted the settlement of their difficulties
to committee of citizens who had
arranged to call on the pillow magnate
yesterday and endeavor to ad Just mat
tiers. The Huns were accompanied
by 4 representative of Deere & Co.
This morning when the new arrivals
were to go to work, Deere had. the
police to guard them from violence
at the hands of the strikers. 1t
seems that the men were not in
formed of the true state of affairs.
and when they ascertained a strike
existed, all but five refused to go to
work. Moline is considerably worked
up over the strike.

TARG ct FOR BURGLARS,


That IL What the Mosenfelder Residence
Has Been in the Past.
The Mosenfclder house. one Of the
list of houses entered last night,
seems to have been target for burg
lars in the past. They have had
their aims and designs on it four
times in the last five years since MIR.
Mosenfclder has resided there, and
two times before, during the time it
was the home of Maj. II. c. Connolly
and family. One of the times the
house was entered during Maj. Con-
nelly's occupancy it was attended
by sensational circumstances. The
incident occurred ut > o'clock in the
morning in January. 1878. While
one man guarded the situation by
means of step ladder, which en-
abled him to view the scene through
a south window, another entered n
window by boring two holes near the
window sash on porch on the east
and entered. Mai. and Mrs. Con-
nelly's chamber was off the back par
Tor. and Mrs. Connolly, aroused by a
disturbance in the room, quickly
awakened her husband, who, seeing
human figure cropping on hands and
feet through the room, sprang from
his bed and attempted to grapple
with the intruder, who fled, firing a
revolver at the major as he did so,
the bullet entering the ceiling. where
it is still lodged. The scoundrel es-
capped through the window he had
entered. The following night he
tackled j. A. Hanley's house and
stole some silverwarc. MIR. Hanley
discovered him and gave chase, meet.

but the name or identity of his pal
could never be ascertained, as he re.
fused to disclose any information on
the subject. The night prior to his
entering Maj. Connelly's house, he
had burglarized Peter Fries resi-
dence of valuable property, and to
this he plead guilty and was SEN
fenced to eight years in the pcniten-
tiary. During the time Of his con-
finement he escaped. but, was cap

The other burglary during the
time Maj. Connolly lived in the
house was one Fourth OF July a few
years after when some silverware
was stolen in the middle of the day.

Burglars operated successfully in
Rock Island during last night by
entering two residences and n car
penter shop. appropriated such val
uables as were not burdensome and
silently departed without causing
alarm. None of the robberies
were discovered until this morning.
The sufferers are: A. Mosenfelder,
sos Twentieth street; William A.
Baum, 1126 Nineteenth street, and
G. NJ. j. Van Battum. of Davenport,
a carpenter employed by Hudson &
Parker. From the location of the
robberies the police are confident the
same parties perpetrated them all,
although no clew bearing on the ap-
prehension of the guilty ones, any
more than that couple of men were
observed coming from he neighbor-
hood of Mr.. Mosenfelder's residence

These were seen by l.. Simon, who
was returning home in carriage
from the depot.

The same tactics were used in seek
ing an entrance at the different places,
the intruders prying the windows.
At Mr.. Mosenfelder's residence en-
trance was effected through n win
dow on the side and the circum-
stances surrounding his discovery of
being victimized are peculiar. On
returning from reception Mr.. Mos
enfelder retired about midnight.
Sometime after he was awakened by
the coughing OF one of the children
and upon his wife's suggestion started
for another room to get something to
soothe the cough. In the hallway
the gas is always kept burning dur
ing the night, and the door leading
to the sleeping apartment kept
closed. Reaching for the door, MIR.
Mosenfelder's hand went into space
it was open. Neither was the light
flickering-ail was darkness. This
seemed queer. Going to the dresser
his pantaloons were gone, and his
vest which he hung up had also dis.
appeared. Now MIR. Mosenfeldcr be-
gan to realize what had occurred.
Upon further investigation he dis.
covered that several articles were
absent from their usual locations.
Valuable Watch Taken.
Mr.. Mosenfcldcr's heaviest loss is
a gold watch with diamond Sc,

EXPLAIN IT'S WORKINGS

And Overthrow the Alleged Wrong Con-
struction Gained Among the People ~ TO
Its Mission-Other DoinEs Of Last Nights

The idea of securing someone thor
oughly versed in the workings of
reform organization to address a
public gathering and impress upon
citizens the aims of the Civic
federation was given further discus
sion at last evenings adjourned
meeting at the Y. NJ. c. A. and re.
suited in President Foss announcing
a meeting of. the central council
Tuesday evening to further look into
the advisability of such an affair
from a financial standpoint.
Five additional members were re-
ceived. The meeting was attended by
about so. The constitution and by
laws were formally adopted, as here
toforc published, except a few addi-
tions relative to the duties of officers
and committees, and William Jack
son and W. b. Ferguson appointed a
committee to have them printed in
pamphlet form.
MISREPRESENTATION a Pretense.
In the course Of discussion con-
corning the Misrepresentation of
many people as to the objects of the
federation, William jackson believed
the misconstruction idea was mere
pretense and should be ridiculed
rather than drawing out considcra-
tion as to how it could be remedied.
He said it was very easy matter to
feign ignorance. There is nothing
about the organization" continued
MIR. jackson, (which the people can
misconstrue, unless they want to.
It's body of citizens formed for the
investigation and suppression of all
matters pertaining to the social,
moral and financial interests of our
selves and city. Everyone knows
what that means. For instance,
there is shortage of $4,000
in the improvement funds Of
the city. There is certainly
something wrong there. and should
be investigated. That's what the
civic federation is existing for

son believed the antagonism was
merely squirt and would soon die
out.
Speaking in the same connection,
President Foss said: II would
rather be dictated to by the car OF
Russia than the gang which seeks to
pollute the morals and liberty Of our
people,"
The secretary read a communica-
ton from someone signing as "Suf-
