From the Wreck.

The engine, No. $50. and coaches
that We're in the wreck at Geneseo
Sunday night on the Rock Island pre-
scented 4 sorrowful spectacle as they
passed through the city enroute to
the company's shops at Davenport.
The engine was relieved of its pilot,
right steam chest, the sand dome was
smashed, stack broken, headlight
gone, and the running board was also
smashed in. The condition of the
coaches bears out the statement of
the victims of the wreck that it was
a miracle they escaped alive.
NJ. f. Riedy, the injured mail clerk,
is probably fatally hurt. He was
found lying on his face and was bleed
ing from bad cash in the cheek and
also from a deep cash from one ear to
the other. He was also in ured in
ternally. Mr.. Riedy is popular and
well liked man among the postal en-
ploVes.

HIS HOME cITY'S HoNoRS.
Why the Reception to Mai. Halves Was
Confined to Rock Island.

(Onnned TO hOch
One of the Moline papers has mani
tested some feeling that the reception
given to Mai. c. w. Halves on his
return from Kansas City, was con-
fined to Rock Island Woodmen and
citizens. While it is natural that
Woodmen of both the adjoining cities
of Moline and Davenport, and the en-
tire county of Rock Island for that
matter, should share in the desire to
do honor to Head Clerk Halves, and it
is gratifying that they should feel so,
vet the fact that the demonstration
was not given greater scope was not
due to oversight, intentional or 9TH
erwise. At the first meeting, last
Friday, to consider the suggestion of
giving the major a reception, the
idea of inviting the Moline and Dav-
export camps to participate. as well
as of making it as far as possible a
county affair was duly considered,
but the impression prevailed then
that beth Moline and Davenport, hav-
ing bees honored by the head camp,
the former in the choice of the state
head physician, and the latter in the
reelection of the head adviser,
would desire to pay some attention
10 the distinction shown the Woodmen
officially recognized in their respec
tive cities, and as it was then deemed
likely that all would return about the
same time, it was thought best to
avoid the possibility of confusion, the
shortness of the time in which to act
not only making it impossible to
adopt the plan of a county affair, but
emphasizing the essential Importance
that comprehensive plan, subject to
as little change as possible. be adopted
and carried out. II was decided that
the only arrangement which could be
properly carried out under the cir
cumstances was for Rock Island TO
give her distinguished citizen a spon-
taneous demonstration OF apprecia-
ton such as is felt by the Woodmen
and citizens generally of his home
city, and this is what was done.
