A SUIT DiEMURRED TO.
MT. Cain, However, Agrees to Amend
His Petition.


In the city court yesterday demur-
rer to the suit of NJ. p. Cain against
the Western Union Telegraph Company
was argued, Messrs. Cain & Kennedy rep
resenung the plaintiff and Messrs. Erwin,
duBignon & Chisholm the defendants.
Mr.. Cain claims he lost a position as
school teacher for four months, which
would have paid him $500 on account
of the companys failure to deliver his
telegram accepting it. The ground of the
demurrer was that the petition did not
show the connection between the tele-
gram and Mr.. Gains claim for DANA
ges. The petition should have stated, it
was held the terms of the contract Mr..
Cain had, at whose school he was 10
have been employed, and other details.

IN FAVOR OF \ NEW MAIN.
Council Likely to Make the Change
Recommended for Bay street.

Recommended for Bay street.
The question of laying a sixteen-inch
main on Bay street to take the place of
the present six-inch main on that street,
will be taken up by the new council and I'm
all probability a resolution or an ordi-
nance will be adopted to proceed with
the work as rapidly as possible
The matter has not been officially con-
sidered yet but the aldermen have been
discussing il among themselves and it is
understood that majority is in favor of
laying the main. The inefficiency of the
Bay street main was one of the chief
points made by the representatives of the
Southeastern Tariff Association against
Savannah's fire service and 1t was with
the understanding that a larger main
would be laid this winter that the increase
in insurance rates was suspended last
summer.
This was also one of the changes recon-
mended by Chief Fireman Halle of Kan
sas City, when he made his inspection of
the Savannah fire department.

Monmouth Review may be given:
According to the Galesburg Nail.

mouth is in the asylum race in the

How the Site Was Selected.
A dispatch fromiSpringfield states:
1.-The board of trustees of the new
Western>hospital for the insane. con-
sisting of John r. Eden. Of Sullivan;
T. j. Medill. Jr., of Rock Island, and
William S Gale, of Galesburg. met
with the governor to determine upon
the location of the new institution.
Galesburg offered 41O acres of beau
tiful land: Rock Island offered two
sites, one of 41O acres, the Other of
400 acres. situated near the river. and
Monmouth offered 400 acres of land,
or 100000 in spot cash. Delegations
of citizens from each of these cities
were before the board and made their
arguments for the location. After be-
ing in consultation a number of
hours the board determined upon
the WATERFOWL site, located near
Rock Island, and awarded the site TO
that city. The site selected contains
400 acres of land, $50 OF which is Sit
uated upon a high bluff overlooking
the Mississippi river, and in plain
view of Rock Island. Moline and
Davenport. The rest of the land is a
plateau. and is beautiful and ade-
quate place for the hospital.
"Mr. Gale voted for Galesburg and
Messrs. Medill and Eden for Rock
Island. The board will meet here
the last of the month and advertise
for bids for the erection of the build
ing and other work to be done. The
hospital is to be finished early next
year"

the better situated land, sewer out
let and cash offer of Monmouth. 1t
is settled that the other cities can
amend their offers If they desire. but
it probably will not be known what
they offered before the hour of going
to press.
Every muSh depends ON the de-
sire of the governor. If he looks on
Monmouth's proposition and advant-
ages with favor. the asylum will
come here; but if he is determined
that the institution shall be located
on = running stream, Rock Island
will get it. He last week showed
that he did not consider Galesburg an
eligible location"
Indications of Sentiment.
This expressed view is indicative
of two things, that even rival coun.
ties recognized the force of the argu-
ment advanced by Rock Island coun-
ty. and that furthermore Gov. Alt.
geld held to the same conviction. and
hence it should not be forgotten
while we are rejoicing over our ex-
treme good fortune, one who is
the governor of the state seems
to have been with us in heart
from conscientious regard for the
best interests of the institution al
well as for the state. And so We
won the day. 1t is q victory in
which all should rejoice with equal
fervor and enthusiasm. 1t is like
the court house, subject in which
the entire county. its pride and it,
good name are involved, and every
resident of the county should bt
happy as well as proud of the recog
milton shown.

then bid up to Si.GS without sales.
Tho price rose steadily until the 81. 80

a large amount OF oil at S1.79, and that Is
alleged TO have caused the break. In four
days oil has advanced 80 points. The ad-
vance made by the Standard was 10 cents
and should q similar advance be made TO-
day oil would be selling at twice the aver

There is much gossip here about the
market, and bets were taken that tho S2
