TOWN WITHOUT A MAYOR
Executive of Morrison Resigns on Account
of Saloon Question.


Morrison, the county seat of White
side county. is wrought up over the
question of license and anti-license.
Last spring both factions put up tick
cts in the field for municipal officers.
The anti-license men elected four out
of six aldermen. The saloons wer e
closed up, but in short time the
business men protested that all the
trade was going from the city.
The sentiment finally became so
strong that three of the anti-license
aldermen resigned. A special election
was held last Saturday aud the license
candidates were elected. The first
thing they did was to issue new GER
titicates, requiring only the signature
of the clerk. AS Mayor Robert Wal
lace had been elected on an anti-li-
cense ticket, after learning what the
council had done. he resigned also,
and now Morrison has no mayor.

BACK TO DIXIE LAND
Bodies Of Southern Soldiers at
Rock Island Arsenal TO be
Disinterred.
DIED WHILE PRISONERS OF WAR
Ashes Claimed by the Confeder-
ate Memorial Associa-
ton.
DIED WHILE PRISONERS OF WAR

The bodies of the southern soldiers
who died while prisoners of war at
the Rock Island arsenal during the
rebellion are to be disinterred and
transported to southern chimes to be
reinforced in the land of their birth.
Thus the confederate cemetery at
the arsenal will soon be q thing of
the'past. The movement applies not
alone to this arsenal, but to every
confederate burying ground in the
north. The movement has been I'M
der way for years. and the actual
work of removal will begin next
month. though it is not definitely
known Just when the work will reach
Rock Island.
Congress Acts.
The authority that makes possible
the graceful act comes from con-
gress. In the sundry civil bill,
which was approved June 6, 1900,
was the provision made for the disin-
terment of the southern dead and
their reburial in a special section of
the national cemetery a. Arlington,
Va.
The Confederate Southern Memoir
ial association, with headquarters in
New Orleans, has arranged to re-
claim these bodies. Those which are
claimed by families will be buried in
southern church yards or cemeteries
in their respective states.
