Police Court PickiuSs,

No answer from the Savanna
authorities concerning Edward Nc
Elhansy, the boy detained at head
quarters, has been received by the
police. The lad has excellent quail
ications as a prevaricator, and relates
all kinds of different stories about
bis family connections and his voea-
ton, and Chief Etzel rather believes
him the runaway boy whose dcscrip-
ton was sent here some time ago.
Edward said today that he had an
uncle in Moline, but when the police
began inquiry as to the authencity
of the story the boy contradieted his
statement. That was only enc of
the many he told.
The residence of Fl. r. Woodburn,
at Hil!sdale, was burglarized yester-
day, the intruders securing suit of
clothes. four gold rings, and less
valuable trinkets.

Moline's journalistic War,

The war between the Republican,
journal and the Mail in Moline, has
reached that stage where it threat
ems 10 20 into the courts. Constable
Tom Renee has served the following
notice, signed by f. L. Eastman, of
the journal, on the publishers of the
Nail:
ct. I. Stanley. Charles E. May
and Charles J. Wilson. publishers Of
the Mail: In your issue of Sept. 4
you published the following malic-
ious, false and defamatory statement
about ne:
"'But our readers do not care to be
presented with Eastman's pedigree.
They all know what he is. A man
who will send his father to the poor
farm to die among unfortunate pau
pers, while he himself lives in COM
parative affiucnee. is not worth talk
ing about. and the Mail prefers not
to disgrace its columns with the
name of man whose only object is
to gain a few dollars and other
earthly possessions, even at the sac
rilice of his fathers happiness
..You are hereby notified and re-
qaested to publish correction and
rstraction. J.. l.. EASTMAN"
The fact that T. /. Stanley. of the
Mail, says the conservative Dis
patch. called on an attorney to draft
a similar notice to the publishers OF
the Journal. asking them to retract
and correct certain statements pub
lished regarding Stanley and che
Mail, indicates that there is to be
no retraction, but q recourse to the
courts. Stanley desires the Journal
to take back what it has said about
his having been recently drunk and
indnlgiBg in gambling. etc.

WANT HIM RETURNED,
NJ. 4. Church Board Asks the Conference
Not to Distufb Mr.. MerreII,


Uncertain as to the rcassignment
of Rev. +. W. Mcrccll to the pastora,e
of the First NJ. +. church by the an
nual conference to be held at Peo-
ria next Tuesday, the church officials
have unanimously asked his return.
While Rev. Merrcll entertains little
doubt but that he will be continued
in his present charge, yet it is diff
cult to prophesy the outcome of tho
conference deliberations. The laws
of the church permit a minister to
remain at the head of a conerega-
ton five years. when he is assigned
elsewhere. Rev. Mcrrell has been in
Rock Island four years, and the NEST
his people can expect is his presence
another term, which they are hope
flu! and unanimously in favor of hay
ing. In his few years with the Rock
Island church Rev. Mcrreil has added
materially to its membership, and
conducted its affairs la such man
ner as to illicit the hearty cOmmen-
dation of his people, who will not
part with him until it is entirely
necessary.
Removed Last Year.
1t will be remem bered that at last
years conference Rev. Nerrell was
ASST gned to the Kankakce pastorate
and Rev. NJ. A. Head ordered to
Rock Island. Although not dis
pleased with the new pastor, the NJ.
E. congregation preferred the con-
tinuance of Rev. Merrell, and inter
oeded ia behalf of that end, finally
appealing to the district bishop, who
granted the request.
The church is again prepared to
insist on his retention for the ensu-
ing year. and have appriscd the con-
ference of the desire. Rev. Merrell
goes to Peoria Tuesday.

The Western Base Ball Associate on Next
Season.

President Kent, of the Western
Base Ball association. has fixed up
the circuit which he proposes to
run next season. 1t omits the town
of Rockford. which he permitted to
be crowded in in place of Rock ISL
and last year. and includes Peoria.
Quincy, Des Aeines, St. Joseph,
Omaha, Lincoln, Sioux City and
Denver.
Will the Twins Enter Again:
The Cedar Rapids Republican how
ever, speaking of the fall meeting Of
the Western association says: 1T is
IA foregone conclusion that Dubuque
and Burlington will be dropped out.
1t is not SO certain. however, what
teams will be placed in their posi-
tions. 1t seems almost certain that
Rock Island and Moline will be given
\ franchise in the eastern division in
place of Jacksonville if it is desired,
but it is not so certain that it will be
accepted. If a team is not pat in
those towns it is likely Springfield or
Aurora will be asked to take the
place of Jacksonville. Both towns
have demonstrated that with reason
ably good team they are good ball
towns. In the western division it is
between Omaha and Sioux CITY, with
the chances all in favor of Sioux CITY
if Rowe insists on holding the fran
chise at Omaha. This is not likely,
however, for the reason that Rowe
owes the association every cent of
dues for the year and has refused to
pay them. The association is of the
opinion that it has the right to fire
him without consulting his wishes.
Other Omaha people are desirons of
securing franchise in the western
league. Whether or not they will be
able to do this is question. 1t is
known that parties have figured on a
team in the league to represent that
city. and Long has been credited with
a desire to take the Terre Haute team
there next year instead Of to Column
bus"

Every one who has read the papers knows who
Kelly Is. For over twenty years he was the SUBJ
ject OF newspaper scorn and the laughing stock
of the community in general Away back In 1879
he was busily at work on an airship, which he
was trying to propel and lift by means OF vbra-
tons.
At first Keey's experiments were crude. but In
spite Of ridicule and financial difficulties he per-
severed In 1874 the Keely Motor Company was
organized at the Gilsey House. Since then this
company has supplied Keely with large sums Of
