Informal Talks.

After the club had finished its rou-
tine business. &. Il. Hayward, a
guest of the Moline Club and an old
newspaper man, was introduced and
gave an interesting talk. Mr.. Hay
ward bears a striking resem blance To
President Mckinley and also has his
affable and pleasing manner of talk
ing. Mr. Hayward wears ago pushed
the quill having launched the first
newspaper. the Sun, in Joliet. Sub
sequentlv he went south in search of
rest, finding it impossible to sleep in
this climate, bringing up at Santa Fe,
y. NJ. The change had the desired
result. He liked the country so well
that he became interested in newspa-
per work there, but the enterprise did
not prove as profitable as it might and
he returned to Joliet, where he is now
conducting job and publishing
house. Mr.. Hayward related enter
tanning "reminiscences, telling of one
incident in connection with his New
Mexico experience that showed that
one had responsibilities in that coun-
try in the conduct of newspaper
that he did not have here. There you
were liable to have your head shot off
if YOU wrote an article that happened
to pinch ones toes. Mr.. Hayward
said the newspaper had noble mis-
sion, and if run in the manner that it
should he, should have the hearty sup
port and encouragement of the people
of the community to whose upbuild-
ing and advancement it was devoting
its energies.
Myron JordOn was questioned in re-
latiOn to Porto Rico. which he visited
as a member of Company +, of Mo-
line. and at once the abundant store
of knowledge he gathered about the
people and customs of that country
began to flow from his lips, and be
fore he realized it he had made a lee
ture that was not invaluable to all
so fortunate as to hear it. He said
the climate and vegetation of Porto
Rico were delightful, and while the
business people lived in the height of
fashion the peasantry was lily fed
owing to the high taxation imposed
on the necessities of life by the Span
ish government. He said one was
perfectly safe in travelling in that
country. and would not eXper-
fence much difficulty in making ones
self understood. The people were
kind and courteous, but were a CEN
fury behind the times.

IMPROVED SERVICE.
The Reconstruction of the Tele-
phone System Pro-
posed.
AN ESTIMATED OUTLAY OF $4,000.

New Poles and Cables and Distributing
Terminals Each Street CrossinE-Ad-
ditionaI Trunk Lines to MoIine-Im-
portant Changes to be Made at the Gem
trail Ohice.
Realizing fully the annoyances to
which many of its patrons have been
subjected lately, the Central Union
Telephone company has been hasten
ing 10 remedy these defects as quick
lv as possible, Notwithstanding the
feeling to the contrary, as expressed
bv some. As the improvements re-
quired are on such large scale and
involve the rebuilding of nearly all
of the system that has not been re-
| built during the past two years, it
has taken some time to prepare esti-
mates, which involve an outlay of be-
tween $50, 600 and $40, 900. 1t is the
purpose to remove all old poles, wires
| and cables in the business portion of
the city, west of Nineteenth, and put
up new poles, on which will be sus-
pended three 200-wire multiple ca
bles along Second avenue from Nine
teenth to Fifteenth street, with dis
tributing terminals at each street
crossing, thus doing away =, 1 heavy
leads of aerial wires. These cables
will also be extended out Sixteenth
street to Fifth-anda-half avenue.
Additional trunk lines are to be built
to Moline. and the ones now in use
are to be reconstructed so as to do
away with the induction from cleo
trio light and street railway currents.
a trunk line cable out as far as Thir-
tieth street may be among the i'm
provements. 1t is the intention to
substitute copper wire in all aerial re-
building, thus avoiding frequent re-
pairs which cause Interruptions and
annoyance to the service.
In the office important improve
ments are being made which are most
vital to the service.
A new toll board has been put in
and toll line operator appointed,
thus relieving the city line operators
of this incumbrance and enabling
them to give their entire attention to
the city lines. A monitor board will
he put in for the chief operator in a
few DAYS, so that she can do all test
ing of lines and instruments and re-
ceive all reports and communications
from subscribers. The line operators
will then be prohibited from holding
any conversation with subscribers or
others when on duty, thus insuring
prompter and better service. 1t is
especially desired that subscribers
cooperate in this and when they wish
a connection outside of the three cities
call at once for the the toll operator,
and to report any matter pertaining
to the service call the chief operator
direct, and thus insure prompt atten-
ton and not delay local calls.

AMBULANCE SHIPS.
Two Craft of This Class
Just Added to Our
Navy.
A CHANCE TO SURVIVE
Will Rob Naval Warfare Of Some of
lis Terrors-Under the
Red Cross.
A CHANCE 10 SURVIVE

Two ambulance or hospital ships are
now a part Of the United States navy.
Both were recently purchased and altered
Tor the purpose. They fly the flag Of the
Red Cross society and will accompany
squadrons so as to be near at hand when
needed. One Of these hospital ships is the
Cromwell line steamer Creole, the other
the Grand Duchesse of the Plant line.
The Creole is the finest and fastest
steamship in the Cromwell feet. She is
almost new, having been built at Newport
News and put in service in December,
1896. She Is built entirely of steel from
keel to pilothouse tops and is 375 feet long
and has a breadth of beam of Al feet. Her
speed is Is knots an hour.
Being a recently built steamship, the
Creole has the latest improved marine ma
chinery and steam steering gear. The
cabins. saloons and staterooms are finely
furnished. She was designed by Horace
See.
Captain E. v. eager, the commander of
the Creole, retains command of the vessel,
and he retains many of the crew. He
offered his services when the naval auxil-
larry board first began negotiations for the
Creole's purchase, and as he had seen ac-
tive service in the United States navy in
the civil war his offer was accepted.
At the outbreak of the civil war he was
called by the government and received the
first acting masters commission, which
bears the date Of April 16, 1851. He was
then appointed executive officer of the u.
S. S. Monticello and afterward was de-
tailed for duty as pilot of the falnous Mon
itor.
The Grand Duchesse, which was pur-
chased by the government in March, is nd
mirably fitted for the purpose of hospital
ship.
Up to the present time the quarters of
the sick and wounded aboard a warship
haye been located in what is known as the
sick bay, away forward, practically ocou-
plying a space in tho bow, where the groan-
ing of the chain is heard at all times and
the motion of the vessel keenly felt. This
has manifestly operated against recovery,
as it has made quiet an absolute impossi-
bility. Indeed Surgeon General Van
Reypen says that there will be at least 25
per cent more recoveries in an ambulance
ship than there would be if the men on
the sick list were cared for aboard their
own vessels.
The Duchesse is exactly of the type adj
yised for the ship ambulance service. She
is of the newest model in steamships and
is constructed with an idea of permitting
her passengers to ESCAPE the disoonforts
of seasickness as mIth as possible. She
rolls very little, and it takes almost a storm
to cause her to ride otherwise than on an
even keel.
There is not an i'll ventilated apartment
on the ship. Every convenience that has

Secure a Right of Way.
In 1895 the ella Valley, Globe and
Northern Railway company obtained from
Washington the franchise for a road
through the reservation, subject to the ap-
proyal of the Indians. This proposed line
is to run from Geronimo to Globe, a dis
lance Of so miles, and is to be practically
an extension of the 65 miles of road that
connects Geronimo with the Southern Pa
oifc station at Bowie.
A large area Of mineral and coal land is
to be opened UP by the new line. Since
congress granted the conditional franchise
agents have been atwork among the In
dians, but arbitrary refusal was given un-
til the general council was called at San
Carlos. Fully !, 500 Apaches were pres
ont, and the entertainment of them was
the first item of cost in the railroad con-
struction account. President Garland and
Vice President Cutler of the ella Valley
road and Chief Engineer Hood Of the
Southern Pacific were in charge of the
feast and council, and invitations had
been sent by means of runners to all parts
of the Indian domain.
There were Indians who had burned,
slain and tortured just out of natural de-

NEW sQUAWS.
Copper Colored Women Demand Eman-
cipation From Man.

Copper Colored Women Demand Eman-
cipation From Man.
The new woman has made her appear
ance on the Cree Indian reservation, and
she is red. The braves are astonished and
swear vengeance upon tho promoters of
the emancipation scheme. 1t all happened
through the enlightenment received by
Minnewinka at an eastern school, whittier
she was sent by the consent of her parents
some years ago.
Minnew;nka was a Grow, which makes
it all the harder for the Cree warriors to
bear. When she came back to the reserva-
tion, she was Miss Minnie Winka, and she
wore garments that were strange to her
tribe. She spoke English fuently. She
could read and write. She wore high
heeled shoes in preference to mocoasins-
She discarded the blanket for the covert
cloth jacket. Instead of the shawl about
her neck she wore a feather boa.
And of course it came to pass that she
was hated by all the old Grow squaws,
who allowed that she was stuck up and
that no good would come of her superiori-
ty in Caucasian accomplishments.
Then Minnewinka up and ran away
with a lazy Cree buck who had been hang
ing about the place for some time. He
wore trousers and a coat, which formed
the basis of her preference.
And SO it was that Minnewinka, the
new squaw, came among the Crees. "Good
riddance!" said the Grow squaws who did
not like Minnie's bringing up.
But the Crees did not think SO. For
three days there were feasting and merry
making. Wrap-Up-His-Tail had captured
a prize who could read the newspapers as
well as build the tepee fires and do the
general drudgery required by every Cree
warrior.
Reading the newspapers was all right,
but Minnewinka declined to do anything
else. So one day last August she went
Dver to Fort Custer and complained to Joe
Thomas of harsh treatment, at the same
lime exhibiting a black eye.
Mr.. Thomas saddled up his cayuse and,
! 5uckiing his u about him, rode over to
the Cree reservation and had a conference
with Minnie's husband.
sThis gals too good for you, Wrap, and
shafts all there is about it. Don't let me
aver hear of you licking her again. said
Thomas as he rode away.
Thereafter M~innewinka had things all
her own way. Not only this, but she
preached sedition among the other squaws
who, peroeiying what an easy time Minnie
was having, began to grow discontinued.
So the autumn passed and winter came
on, the squaws performing their onerous
duties with ever increasing disgust.
Through the PROSECUTING of Minnie they
same to realize what every else around
there has known for a long time-that the
Cree warrior is lazy, drunken, shiftless
and good for nothing.
About six weeks ago on a cold, frosty
morning, 30 Cree squaws, headed by Min
newinka, quietly got their belongings to-
gether and went down on the Musselshell
river to live by themselves.
The colony of new women is still in its
camp on the Musselshell. All of the
ranchmen take great interest in the strike
and supply the squaws with plenty of food
for the asking.

On the outside of the blouses and also
tailor made waists there is a small watch
pocket set. Bowknot pins are also worn
to hold a little watch.
Tailor made wraps in light colors have
cut strap strips stitched on, and in many
instances those are decorated with small
mother of pearl buttons, sewed on in clus-
tiers and in breton style. Many of the silk
and poplin capes have enormous pulled
boas of helnmed silk muslin, and the dol
man capes nave enormous bow with
many loops set at the bend of the waist in
the back. Half long basques in two O.
three instances were ornanlented with
three founces of silk matching in color
with the material.
Travelling oapes are marked by long,
smooth lines. One long wrap was made
double breasted and fastened with large
smoke pearl buttons, only three on each
side, and these set low down. There were
/. half capes instead of sleeves and a hood at
the back, with a plain rundown collar at
the neck and two sharp revers. The stuff
was elephant gray ~cravanette. The whole
was really elegant. The same design was
developed in a large brown yellow and
green plaid twilled wool. In both cases
the garment reached the ground. The half
princess redingote is a ~fayorite for travel
ing, as it is made~with snug back and
straight fronts and space for pockets.
Among the light stuffs for summer the
lace striped lawns and organizes are the
prettiest and most delicate I have ever
seen. The lace stripe is not, as heretofore,
a sort of a twisted canvaslike openwork,
but a stripe exactly resembling a piece of
valenciennes, lierre or duchess lace, alter
mating with a stripe of the dainty lawn.
This, with It's artistical]y chosen colored
lining of silk, makes up most beautifully.
The most of the designs take us back to
olden times when u grandlnothers show
ed us scraps of their best frocks in some
choice patchwork quilt. There is one new
color, the exact reproduction Of the modest
little pink pimpernel.
/ noticed among the new millinery goods
millions of white lilies of the valley,
swamp alder, trailing arbutus mi hepati-
va. Fern leaves were set among tho flow
ers, the nne maidenhair fern being ez-
trcmely abundant. There were several
straw hats almost covered with punches OF
q flower whose name I do not know.
