set forth in Governor Leelv's call was
the necessity Of railroad legislation.
Now the legislature has passed a bill
which does not meet this emergency"
until the first Monday in April next.and
one month after a regular session of the
legislature shall have adjourned.
The railroads intend to go into the
courts and fight the new law on these
grounds, and have announced that they
will carry the matter to the supreme
court Of the United States. They will
contend that no emergency exists. and
if it did exist the new law should have
been made operative at once. The rail
roads Will also contest on the grounds
that the title is not broad enough to
cover its purposes.

Leedy had signed the bill, but it turns

Made to Apologize for attempting to DO
His Duty.
A story that is too good to keep is
told of one OF the diminutive mem bers
of the Rock Island police department.
The incident occurred on prominent
thoroughfare during the still hours of
the night. Two young men, each
with a shirt waist at his side, were
driving down the avenue at a lively
gait. They were commanded to halt
by the boy in blue, who staggered into
the street swinging his billy. One
obeyed and stopped his horse. His
lady friend got out and the brownie
took seat alongside the young man.
well, guess we had best drive
down to the station" said the brownie,
with serious air.
You have another guess coming"
was the pert answer.
Young man, don't talk back to me
in that manner. Do you know who l

chest and knitted his eye brows and
looked brave.

prominent people. Why, l cut con-

you would lose your buttons-for
I'm related to the chief executive of
the city, and he would not stand for
me being arrested. Do you see?" and
the young man, Just able to hold back
a hearty laugh, saw that the brownie
was beginning to wilt.
"Do you mean it?" he asked.
What you want to know is wheth-
er am giving you the right steer.
Sure. If you doubt me just come on
up to the mayors house and 1 will
convince you in less time than it takes
to tell it.''
The brownie alighted from the rig,
apologized for interfering and waddled
away shaking liz e leaf in tornado.
And the boys-and the girls. too

AT McCABE'S.

1t took 10 years for the Welsbach
gas burners to come into general use;
then they came with rush.
The makers claimed that the Wells
bach mantles and burners gave three
times the light of an ordinary fish
tail'' gas burner, at half the cost.
Anybody could see that the first was
true-the cheapness was harder to
believe. until methodical users tested
it. and found it to be so. That settled
it; the only question now is, how
much the mantles and burners will
cost 1t used to be 81 % for a COM
plete burner, ready to use. Now
we sell the same outfit for 47c
The only thing about it to wear out
is the mantle. Sometimes the Chin
neys crack or the opal shades break.
Hence these prices will interest

At Harper's theatre Friday, Satur-

reproduction of the Fitzsimmons-
Jeffries fight by the vitascoPe
The pictures are nearly perfect.
Not a blow struck during the IL
hard rounds of fighting is missed.
Up to the eighth round, Lanky Bob
seems to be holding his own. After
that, however. he grows tired and
Jeffries' good work starts. The pecu-
liar crouching attitude assumed by
Jeffries, about which so much was
written by the sporting editors of the
country, is realistically presented.
Every move of the seconds as they
work over their men, between the
rounds, is shown distinctly, and the
great referee. George Siler, is seen as
he splits the men apart from their
clinches, and afterwards counts off the
fatal 10 seconds, making Fitz a has
