Henry Thompson. stranger, bent
! on committing theft, selected for a
victim n dummy that does service in
displaying goods in front of Simon &
Mosenfelder' store. The hour ap-
pointed for the daring deed was 4:30
Saturday afternoon, while Second
avenue was bee hive of busy shop
pers. Thompson, who was we'll
dressed and whose appearance would
not lead one to believe he would take
such desperate chance, approached
the unspeakable stealthily. The
dummy was unable to protest and
was obliged to stand silent while being
separated from his wardrobe, which
consisted of an undercoat and an
oyercoat.
Thompson was seen executing the
job by William Beal, clerk at Will
liam Stewards, on the opposite side of
the avenue. Officer William Ryan
was hailed, and piloted the thief, who
said his name was Henry Thompson
and that he was from the east, to po-
lice headquarters. Today he was held
to the grand jury under $500 bonds
on a charge of larceny by Justice ..

trail.
CHANGE TOOK EFFECT YESTERDAY.

Old Cars Retired and Switches Located
for the Improved Service-The Advan-
tage to Both Cities-EIm Street Cars to
Tower.
The operation of the Moline Central
line was assumed by the Tri-City
Railway company yesterday, and the
first thing General Manager Lardner
did was to substitute cars of the Tri-
City company's standard style for
the cars that have been running on
the Central line. In order to get the
latter out of the way and into the Mo-
line avenue car barns they were
brought down over the Elm street line,
and they attracted considerable atten-
ton as they passed through town,
so ut variance they seem with the
up-to-date equipment of the system
under Mr.. Lardner's direction. The
abandoned cars, some which look very
much as if Dewey had paid his re-
spects to them, and hit-and-miss adj
ditions had been built on afterwards,
will be subjected to the ingenuity of
the mechanical experts of the Tri-City
company and brought as nearly as
sign of the general system before they
are pressed into service. Several of
them, especially the open ones, will
be remodeled and will make very good
cars.
The New Running Arrangement.
Manager Lardner and Supt. Hun
toon went over the line of the new
route this morning and decided as to
the replacing of switches, and opera
tons will begio on them at once, to
the end that before next Sunday
through cars will be running to Moline
over the bluff. The result will be a
great improvement in this branch of
the service. The Elm cars will there
after run every 10 minutes in Rock
Island and will run west to the pillow
works instead of stopping ut Ninth
street. This will insure the addit-
ional convenience of seven-and-a-half
minute cars on Second avenue below
Fifteenth street as is the case now be-
TIVE en- Fifteenth and Thirty-eighth. The
route of the bluff through car line will
be from the Rock Island pillow works
to Fifteenth street and Fourth avenue,
Moline, with transfers to Riverside
cemetery at the end of the Fourth
avenue line or to Prospect park.
Moline will have the advantage she
has not heretofore enjoyed of seven
minute cars up Fifteenth
street hill, the Prospect park cars
with the Elm street and
cars to this city. The |
change will necessitate the placing of |
six cars in this branch of the service, |
and the public will realize the benefit. |
The designated transoms for the Elm |
Paramount and Prospect park |
lines of the system will arrive in |
a few days. and Manager Lardner is
hurrying::through the shops a compile |
ment OF refurnished vestibule cars |
which will be assigned to the new
line, so that the people up that way
will see that the best is none too |
good for them.

THE SHORT LINE PLANS.
How 1t VIII Enter Rock Island and Daven-
port Yet Undecided.

j. NJ Grout, attorney for the st.
Louis & Northern Short Line, was at
the Harper yesterday. He stated that
his company had let the contracts and
would begin building operations at
different places between Peoria and
Clinton, Iowa, the present week. He
said it was the purpose of the line to
enter the three cities, but how it was
to get into Rock Island and Davenport
he was not prepared to say He had
learned through the newspapers that
the company was to use the Terminal
tracks and bridge from Moline through
Rock Island and into Davenport, but
so far as he was aware. his company
had made no arrangements to that
end

The New York Journal has requested
few of the leading democrats OF the nation
to ontribute articles for publication in
that paper with reference to who the pos
sible candidate OF the anti-republican
forces will be in 1900. Responding 10
that request George Fred Williams, OF
Massachusetts, has written the Journal a
most vigorous letter, portions OF which
we copy below. Mr.. Williams says:
"Six million five hundred and eleven
thousand citizens voted for Bryan in 1896;
a few of these have suggested changes in
the platform, but the denomination OF
Mr.. BRYAN stands almost unques;ioned
among them. :,
SIN the convent ON of 1896 he received
e52 votes GU. of $50. The delegations
which supported him then will not iall
him in 1900. He cannot lose these. Cold
political calculation cannot produce hg-
ures to defeat his denomination IN l9oo
as matters now stand.
"But Mr.. Bryan has not been s'atioh'
ary in the popular esteem. When war
was declared he offered his lie to MS
country; denied opportunity tor active
service by the administrations he did not
COMPLAIN. With rare judgment he has
allowed others to condemn the admins,
trat;on for its faults in the conduct oil
the war. ..
"Relieved Of military duty his civic
courage appeared in the prompt deciara'
ton Of policy for the government OF the
territory taken from Spain. "A tlme'ser'er
would have failed. His party in congress
sustained him. He supported the adj
m;nistration in it's negotiations with
foreign foe; smaller man would not
have resisted the temptation to embarrass
h;s no,;tical opponent. He stands now as
presidential candidate. pledged to give
;ndependence to the nations which nave
been rescued from Spain's OPPRESSION
"Three years ago the democratic party
was disrupted; its prospects were hope
less. Yet Mr.. Bryan, leading new po.,'
~ increased the vote Of 1892 by one mil
ion and few thousand votes properly
distributed would have elected him to the
nresidency. The gold and monopoly
vote which went to Mr.. Mckinley was
driven there by the democracy, not oy
M Brvan's leadership. No change OF
leadership will bring back this element.

Every attempt to control the trusts by
law up to this time has been failure.
To set the laws in motion there must be
action, intelligent, vigorous and in good
faith by attorneys general, who usually
owe their positions to corporate infiu-
ences; there must be just decisions by
trial courts, and finally these judgments
must be sustained by the supreme court
of the United States. To try to regulate
the owners OF half billion OF 'apita by
such means is like attempting to hold a
runaway locomotive with trout line.
But the removal OF duties from articles
controlled by trusts is different matter.
1t requires no appeal to the courts and
no Intervention Of prosecuting attorneys.
There is no chance OF raising the ques-
ton of constitu,ionality. The purchaser
simply does not pay the tax and the at
fair ends there.
Protective duties were orig nally levied
in this country because our accumu-
lations OF capital were so small that we
were said to be at the mercy OF our richer
foreign competitors That reason has
ceased to exist now that trusts WELD
masses of capital that no other country
in the world can match.
Later it was said that we needed pro-
faction because American labor could
not compete with the cheap labor OF
Europe. But it is we'll understood now
that the American labor is the cheapest
on earth. If it were not, the trusts
would soon make it 80, for they fix wages
at pleasure. Every foreign observer de-
clares that our manufacturers get more
work out of their machinery per dollar
of wages paid than is obtained in any
other country in the world.
It has always been an essential part OF
the protectionist argument that domestic
competition would prevent protection
from becoming oppressive to the Amer
lean consumer. When trusts destroy
competition that assumption disappears.
The trusts have outgrown protection.

The issues OF 1896 were not made by

him in 1896 believe in their hearts that,
with a gentler tongue, the unrelenting
purpose OF jefferson and Jackson is want

we want him.

string, God bless him. These are his
latest tones:

not the deserters Of 1896, who are rather
