Hundred Dollars worth Of Jewslry, Etc.
Police - Much Surprised ~ Any One.
Rock Island was treated to touch
of wholesale jobbery, after the style
which all the larger cities seem to
be undergoing just now. last night.
Three homes we're en,ered, the fsmi-
lies being absent in each instance,
and the burglars secured numerous
articles of sufficient value to pay
them handsomely for their trouble.

and got away without disturbing
anyone.

diamond rings we're taken, the watch
and rings being the property of Mrs.
Harold; at McGinley's gold neck
lace, gold ring and set Of jewelry,
ring and breastpin, are missing. while
at Dolly's several pieces Of silver
ware we're stolen.
The burglars effected entrances at
the Mckinley and Dolly homes by
prying rear window open. while at
Harrold's it is thought q skeleton
key was employed. as the back door
was ajar when the family returned
home about 9 o'clock. The house
was ransacked from top to bottom.
The intruders were evidently not OF
the dark lantern order. as burned
matches used in assisting in q search
OF the premises, we're found on the

everything will be put in first class

it is said no one ever heard his voice
raised against the taxation of wild lands.
Mr. Powers friends prevailed upon
him to be a candidate in 1899 for the
Legislature and be received a majority of
100 votes over the man who at the pre-
vious election had beaten his opponent by
81 votes. Among the many able men
comprised in that Legislature Mr.
Powers wise counsel, experience and
rem arkable qualities for leadership were
recognized at once and his influence in
shaping legislation resulted in some of
the best measures which passed that body
His opposition to the druggists bill and
to some measures supported by power
full lobby resulted in their defeat. On the
assembling of the Legislature in 1895 he
was the unanimous choice of the Republic
cans for speaker OF the House.
One is impressed with Mr.. Powers
strong personality at sight. His features
are cast in the mould of those who lead
men. A swarthy complexion, keen but
kindly eyes and hair worn rather long
the blackness of which is unrelieved by
single touch OF the SIS years of his active
life, enhance the dominant characteristics
of his features. He is the most approach

speaker, eloquent and persuasive, and
very effective in his appeals to reason.

steel and fights as fearlessly as he cham
pions. Lew rs he is Familiarity called,

generals, has the reputation of always

support is as good as a written contract.
He Is man of affairs, possesses great ex-
ecutive ability, experience in legislation
and thorough acquaintance with the
affairs of State.
A most hospitabe looking mansion is
the fine large house which Mr.. Powers is
proud to call home. 1t is situated on one
of the prettiest residential streets in the
beautiful town of Houlton and is graced
by the presence of one Of the most charm
