The school Election.

The election of two members of the
Rock Island board of education occurs
in June. G. Il. Marshall and r. A.
Donaldson are the directors whose
terms expire. While it may seem a
triiie early to discuss candidates, the
friends of these gentlemen, who have
so efficiently and faithfully served on
the board, have already expressed to
them desire that they consent to the
use of their names again at the COM
ing election. Neither has given n
definite answer. but it is hoped both
will. and an affirmative one, as they
are the kind of men who are capable
of intelligently administering the af-
fairs of the public schools.

KinIey''-The Pupils Have Programs of
Patriotic Music and Talks on Shrubs.
Flowers, Birds, Etc.
''Arbor Day was appropriately OBJ
served by the Rock Island public
schools today. 1t is an occasion to
which attaches much significance in
the education of the young as to the
material value as we'll a. the beauty
and grandeur of the tree and the
shrub, and the necessity for encour-
aging their growth on the home
premises, in the highways and in the
school yards. and each year the day
increases in importance.
Beginning ut 1880 this afternoon
there were exercises in the several
school buildings. The programs con-
sisted of patriotic music, reading of
the governor proclamation, recita-
tions relating to birds, flowers and
trees, general conversation regarding
historical trees and the different va

BURGLARS AT WORK.
Several Residences in Rock ISL
and Entered During Last
Night.
POOR REWARD FOR THEIR PAINS

Thought to BE the Same Crowd That Has
Been Operating In Davenport - Those
Whose Homes Were evIsited-Frightened
Away at David Don's-Rose weidekehI
Thought She Was Ernest Rambo's Wife
Burglars-thought by Chief Fender
TO be of the same crowd that has been
operating in Davenport-were abroad
in Rock Island last night. So far as the
police have been able to learn. five
residence were entered, those of David
Don, 1918 Second avenue; c. A. Spen-
Ger. 1917 Fifth avenue; +. +. Taylor.
1903 Eighth avenue; K. 4. Donald
son. 754 Seventeenth street, and l..
j. Reddig, 1917 Ninth avenue.
Nothing is known to have been car
ried away from any of the houses eX-
eept TayIor's. Here the intruders
took pocketbook containing 81, n
pair of shoes and pair of cuff but
tons-the latt-r being highly priced
bv Mr.. Taylor. as they were sent to
him by his son from Porto Rico. The
rooms of the house were strewn with
partially burned matches.
In all four instances entrance was
effected by raising window. The
burglars would probably have made a
rich haul at Mr.. Don's but for the fact
that their movements awakened Mrs.
Don, who, seeing 4 light flickering in
another room, aroused the household.
This frightened the unbidden guests,
who made their escape through the
window they entered, and which they
left raised in order to permit of their
hasty exit. They opened the drawers
of the sideboard, but nothing has so
far been missed.
This morning Mr.. Taylor met a
man whom he was satisfied was wear
ing the shoes that were stolen from his
home. He followed the fellow to the
ferry landing. There he met S. Il.
Wright, from whom he had just pur-
chased the shoes, and asked him to
go and call the police. In the mean
time the ferry pulled away for Dav-
export with the suspect aud shoes.
Mr.. Donaldson is of the opinion that
the burglars did not get in his house;
that they were frightened away after
raising the window.
Mr.. Reddig's trousers were found
in n yard half block from his home
today.

taken the body to Rock Island and
placed it in the vault until spring.
Archer borrowed horse and buggy
from Orlando Howe, at Rochester,
few weeks ago and drove to Rock ISL
and, for the purpose, he stated, of
having his baby's remains inferred.
Mr.. Howe became uneasy when his
buggy was not returned within the
time that he expected it would be and
he came on to this city, where he To-
Gated Archer and secured his horse
and buggy. Archer on leaving Roch-
ester entrusted his children to the
care of John Cline, a bachelor, with
whom Archer had lived during his
residence in that town. Cline COM
planned to, the trustees that he could
not afford to feed the little boys and
advised that they be taken TO their
relatives in Rock Island. Messrs.
Hahn and Baker were unable to locate
Archer and they left the children at
the home of their grandmother, Mrs. |

SALEON'S HALLUC!NAIION.
HE BELIEVES AT TIMES THAT HE
IS UNDER CONTROL OF
W. PEOPLE.

DR.. T. b. Beatty is in receipt of an
other communication from Edward Sal
mon, formerly of this city, but now of
Butte, in which Salmon implores the doc
tor to protect him from the Vaccinations
of supposed enemies, says the Salt Lake
Tribune. For some time past Salmon
has suffered with periodical attacks Of
insanity, and at UGH times he believes
that various persons are prosecuting him.
In his letter to DR.. Beatty, he says:
THE same parties, which you know
and who have followed me in Butte, are
making life unbearable to me once more.
l wish your Masonic friend would try to
protect me, or else he goes back or all
his obligations taken by oath as a Mason.
| wish you would do what you can and
have that stopped, or send me the name
of those people, and l assure you that l
will stop them very quickly. If it was
not for them | would get along very
nicely, and it seems to be too bad that
a young man from a good family cannot
be left to choose the right path, and not
be obliged to do as a woman and a man,
that he has no desire to know, force him
to do. You have acknowledged to me
and also to your friend that you new
of his going on for two years off and
on. Why not help me in the matter, dear
doctor, n l will be grateful to you all
my life"
Dr.. Beatty says tina he has no recol-
lection of ever having talked to Salmon,
and that he is perfect ignorance of the
matter referred to in his letter.
The Tribune received a telegram from
Butte yesterday respecting Salmon, the
message being as follows!
salmon is sane and well for
past two days. These spells attack him
periodically
