Waa Letter Pinched?

It II a singular. thing that IL Joseph
Letter was so mangled on change in
Chicago yesterday n Monday. whea
yesterday held so well to the opening on
Butte change. Their was considerable
activity in spite of the dread of a few
scared bulls. Letter was always for
higher prices. and farmers will be sorry
IL he has met his Waterloo. Stocks
held stiff yesterday. and silver showed
a quarter of a cen an ounce gain,
which looks pretty well for a sound
market.
Anyhow. the Butte traders on change
at 40 West Broadway, came out ahead.
and any losses had to be borne in Chi
cago and New York. The increase OF
lady traders at the Butte change is an
interesting feature. They buy and sell
literally and proitably.

LICENSE FEES GO up.
The City's Receipts Must He Increased
somehow or Other.

somehow or other.
A meeting of the ways and means
committee of the city council was held
last evening for the purpos of con-
sidering various suggestions contained
in the mayors nnual report. particu-
Arly in regard to increasing the re-
ceipts OF The committee
considered various plans for increasing
the revenues n decided that the best
thing To be done VAS to boost up the
receipts from licenses. These receipts
i'm 1896 amounted to $40, 900, while last
year they fell to $50. 900. although the
city has not lost i'm population, volume
OF business or prosperity. IL was the
sentiment that more should be col
lected from licenses. IL was remarked
that some of the biggest business
houses only pay 50 to $12 per quarter.
whereas saloons pay SIS a quarter. The
law grades the amount of license for
business according to the volume of
business lone. IL was thought most of
the big houses don't a I'm proportion
To the o of business they do. The
city clerk was instructed to prepare a
list of the licenses paid by business
houses with an estimate of the amount
of business they do. The committee
will meet again after the list has been
prepared and will then decide what
should be raised.
1t was decided to place n license on
the pool rooms. which do an
business. but contribute nothing To the
city's revenue. An ordinance will be
prepared n presented to the coun-
Gil this evening placing a license on the
pool rooms.

spending money on the canals it is
deemed a sufficient and conclusive an
swer to point to the fact that railroad
freight rates are always lower when
navigation is open and canal competi-
ton is active than they are in winter.
when the canal is ice-locked. This
may not be n conclusive argument,
but since it is so accepted by the pub
lie in the state of New York we of
Illinois may without deep reproach
employ the same argument in defense
of the Hennepin enterprise
If it is said that Illinois should pay
the cost. as New York does. we may
retort that the lowering of freight
rates between the east and the west
is for the general welfare or at least
for the welfare of all from the Rocky
mountains eastward who are inter
ested directly or interested in low
rates to and from the north Atlantic
sea board. If New York chooses to
make sacrifices for the general well
fare that is her affair. Illinois is not
that way Inclined

TWO SUDDEN DEATHS.
Elias p. Pinneo Succumbs to an
Attack of Apo
plexy.
FOUND DEAD IN HIS BED.

Henry }. Harrison Cashier of the Coal Val
tending the Theatre, and Breathes His
Last Before Reaching His Home-Other
Obituary Matters.
Elias p. PinneO, proprietor of dry
goods store at 1921 Second avenue,
was found dead this morning in his liv-
ing apartments above his place of
business. The news of his demise
was shock to Mr.. Pinneo's relatives
and acquaintance. as he had not been
heard to complain of feeling i'll until
| the past few days, and then only of a
pain in the shoulder, and suggesting
| that it was probably an attack of
rheumatism that was troubling him.
The discovery of Mr.. Pinneo's
! death was made at 1855 n. IN. by Mrs.
Florence Allen, his housekeeper.
when she went to his room to call
him. She FASTENED to the home of
G. G. Taylor, neighbor, and notified
him.
Coroner l.. V. Eckhart took charge
of the body and impanelled n jury,
composed of NJ. F. Archer, foreman,
H. S. Powars, S. Il. WRIGHT. I. II.
Warren, II. o. Prizes and D. '. "ottig
er. to conduct an inquest. DIR. G.. &.
Carter, who made an examination of
the body, reported that an attack of
apoPleXy had produced death. After
hearing the testimony of Mrs. Flor
ence Allen and Mrs. Jessie Schnitger
verdict in accordance with the re-
port of DIR. Carter was returned.
Mr. Pinnee was numbered among
the well known men of Rock Island.
Although he was congenial and COM
panionable, he chose the quiet life,
never caring to participate in public
affairs or enterprises. He came here
probably 25 years ago from his native
home in Novia Scotia, and after en-
gaging in different capacities, finally
became owner of the Boston haz
ar, marrying the widow of the for
mer proprietor, Alfred Gates. He
had since conducted the business, his
wife dying few years ago. Mr.. Pin
neo was 81 years of age. He leaves
a stepdaughter, Mrs. Jessie Schnit-
ger, of this city; a sister in Califor-
mia, and two nieces in the east. He
was a prominent member of the Rock
Island Masonic fraternity, being a
of which lodge the funeral will be
held from Trinity church at ? o'clock
Friday afternoon.
A coincidence in connection with
the death of Mr.. Pinneo is the fact
that his predecessor in business, Mr.
Gates, died suddenly and in very much
the same way and in the same build
ing.

MAYOR AND A CITY HALL.

Rock Islands Executive Favors Building
in the Near Future.
Mayor Il. j Medill, with his char
acteristic enterprise, favors the early
building by Rock Island of a city hall,
not only for pride's sake, but to meet
the growing needs for increased and
more modern and convenient accom-
mcdations. He is not unthoughtful
that the municipality has been carry
ing on expensive, yet desira bic, i'm
provements, but there is room for
other undertakings. and he would like
to see the city hall proposition re-
ceive the Immediate consideration that
ii deserves.
We could build n magnificent city
hall for 800, co., said the mayor,
land with little or no inconvenience
to our finances. For instance, antic-
ipate and apply $4,000 or $4,000 an
nually from the saloon revenues or
delegate the pro ect to the library
board, the building to be put up un-
der the direction of the city. We
should have at least 3-story struc-
public library. the second for the
council chamber, mayor and clerks
and other offices, etc, and the first for
the police department.
1T would be very easy to pursue Il
plan that would not mean cent adj
ditional cost to the taxpayers, and
one that ought to, therefore, meet the
approval of all who are interested in
the upbuilding and advancement of
