TANNER AND THE POLITICIANS

Fisher for Lieutenant.
The republican love feast-so-
called-at Springfield has had the
effect of bringing to the surface the
sentiments Of the republicans Of Rock
Island county as to state ticket pref
erences. While all the members of
the party are not Johnsons. or
Quayles. or Campbells, or Collinses.
and hence were not privileged to
drink of the loving cup at the state
capital this week, there are those
among the number who remained at
home who do lot thinking on their
own account; nor will they be slow
in action when the time comes to get
up and do something. OF course all
the notables who we're at the gather
ing of brotherly love came home
fully imbued with Mckinley and
Tanner sentiments. They have been
under the hypnotic spell and could
not be expected to be otherwise. Oi
those who remained at home there
are those of the Tanner persuasion,
particularly among the politicians OF
the working. aggressive sort. But

Hopkins has the pole and the pull.

SHERIFF's HOUSE ROBBED
Valuable Jewelry Stolen From the County
Guardians Residence.


Guardians Residence.
Sheriff Hemenwav's residence was
invaded sometime yesterday after
noon by sneak thief and four valu-
able gold rings taken.
The robbery was not discovered
until evening. when a search for the
jewelry in its customary keeping
place proved fruitless. The rings
belonged to Sheriff .Hemenway's chill
dren, Luke and Miss Ada.
Who should have the nerve to en-
ter the county guardians home in
broad daylight Sheriff Hemenway is
at loss to conjecture. But the
sheriff thinks the theft was perpe-
trated while the family was on the
second floor, the stolen property be-
ing on the first. The rings were all
set and the loss is between $75 and
500.

men, who had brayely battled for tho p
preceding hours with the hercest and most
disastrous fire that has visited Troy in
many years. were called upon to fight one
of the most stubborn fires that the depart
ment has had TO handle.
The fire started in three story brick
building occupying a quarter of a block
on the corner Of Congress and River
streets, which IS occupied as o dance hall,
a tenement house and several saloons and
a restaurant.
Like the former fire, small boy was
responsible. Employed by the owner Of
the hall, he was making repairs under the
stage and dropped O lighted match. The
fire spread rapidly, and the department
found trouble in obtaining water, the sup
ply being diminished by the amount used
on the collar shop fire. The building was
Quilted, entailing a loss of about $50, 600,
upon which there is an insurance of about
$50, 900. About half a dozen families,
numbering about 40 people, who occupied
the tenement portion Of the structure, are
rendered homeless.

LONDON, Feb. 10. ~ The Daily News

it believes to be subtantially accurate.
The Daily News goes on to say:
"The role of quasi suzerian over Nene-
zuela, which the United States appears to
assume, Is % distinct advantage to Eng
land As a first stage in the suggested
settlement Joint commission will be
appointed consisting Of an equal number
of EnRlishmen and Americans This
commission will serve rather as board
of Cancellation than as board of arbitra-
ton. F"
Then follows the suggestions contained
in Yesterdays Times, which were as fol-
lows: "It ought TO be made clear that the
governments could only be bound by the
report of the original members Of the pro-
posed commission, or q majority of them,
and IL, in regard to the settled districts.
international arbitration can really be
made to resemble municipal law on the
question Of prescriptive rights the greater
part of our objections to arbitration of the
whole question will disappear.
The Daily News says that settlement
on such lines would he honorable to both
countries "and would, we are sure be
heartily approved by all parties in Eng
land. ="
Mr.. John Morley, speaking at Forfar
reioiced that there was every indication Of
a solution of the Venezuelan difficulty in
the creation Of a joint commission. II
England's title to the settled district were
bad, he said, no doubt some method would
be found to repair that defect.
The Chronicle says that If Mr. Morley
was inspired IN the hopes he expressed we
may be in sight of the goal at last.
