ROCK ISLAND MAY
BUILD INTO MEXICO

From local Rock Island officials,
says the Des Moines Capital, it is
learned that General Manager Parker
is in the west looking up a new line
under contemplation by the Rock Is
land from Liberal, Kas., to Carrizosa,
n. NJ. At this point a connection
is to be made with the famous White
Oaks route. which passes down the
mountains to FL Paso. The Rock Is
land has succeeded in securing a
tracking with the White Oaks road
and will run its trains into FL Paso,
Texas, as soon as the Liberal extern
sion can. be completed. This will give
the Rock Island the shortest line to
Los Angeles by IS miles. The pro-
posed extension is 500 miles in length,
but passes through a rich country.
The Rock Island within a short time
will have a line from Chicago to the
Pacific coast.
The Rock Island & Peoria road made
a very creditable run in transporting
a special train of the race horses from
the tri-cities to take part in the races
at Springfield this week. There were
eight cars in the train, which left
Rock Island at 8 p. N. Sunday. reach
ing Peoria at 6:25 p. M, where it was
transferred to the Chicago & Alton
and started on it's way to Springfield
at $40 p. M. reaching the capital
city of Illinois at IL o'clock. The en-
tire run from Rock Island to SPRING
field therefore occupied but eight
hours. and the horses were on hand
to take winning part in Mondays
races.

HURT IN THE STORM,
Another Story From Alta Iona.
One of the Towns in the
Texas Disaster.
NIB. LOGAN CANNOT BE LOCATED
His Wife, With Three Ribs Bro
ken Taken to Houston by
Red Cross.

Mrs. F. Murphy, 221 Seventh street,
yesterday received a letter from Mrs.
Maggie Norris, of Alta Iona, Texas.
Mrs. Norris says:
Our house survived the storm bet
ter than any house in Alta Iona, but
all our barns and outbuildings were
wrecked and carried away. The
water poured into our house, how
ever, a window having been blown in,
and all our clothing was ruined. We
have enough to eat for the present,
but it is all relief. as the one store
that the town used to boast is no more.
We can't buy anything, even if we
had ever so much money.
"Salome and her husband lost their
household effects, their children mar
rowly escaping with their lives. They
are with US now, as are Logans also.
Mr.. Logan has not been seen since the
storm. Mrs Logan hal three ribs
broken. Thu led Cross society has
removed all t. Z in ured to Houston.
including Mrs Logan. Our Frank
got both his feet badly cut. He was
helping to rescue the girls from the
canning factory when the building
went down"
Provisions Needed.
Mrs. Murphy suggests in this con-
nection that it would be a good plan
for Rock Island friends so disposed to
send provisions direct to the people of
Alta Iona, many of whom formerly
lived here. As the seasons are long

Another En9sKsment.
Jack Frost was scheduled by the
weather bureau to arrive in Rock Is
land last night, but he was side
tracked by heavy wind. He is re-
ported to have recovered himself and
is again headed this way, with the
probability that he will register to-
night. The predictions are that his
presence will be felt by vegetation,
on which he will fall heavily,
all of which means big drop in
temperature. Yesterday we had su I'M

ing 81 degrees, unusually warm for
September.

E,cnne Of tho snotted Frog.

Standing on the floor of the Aquarl-
um's laboratory, a long room on the
second floor Of the big building, there
is a bunch of plants of rather large
size, in ordinary red clay flower pots
Of foot or so in height. In a glass
jar on a table at the other end of the
room lived the green-spotted frog.
Life in a glass prison was doubtless
pretty tiresome for the frog, which
must have greatly longed, if frogs ever
long for anything, for its native
marshes, or something as closely APP
proxlmating them as might be attain
able. 1t could see down the long room
the green plants; and about a week
ago the frog jumped out of its prison
"a jump Of three times its own length
landed on the hard floor without in
jury, and made it's way TO the plants,
where it has since remained, wander
ing at its Will. The plants are watered
daily, and the earth in the pots Is
therefore damp and to the frogs
fancy. The animal is perhaps now as
happy as frog can be under the cir
cumstances, and is certainly happier
and nearer to nature than 1t was in
the big glass jar.-New York Sun.

According to the Western Electrl-
clan, the women telephone operators
in the Paris exchanges are being dis
placed by men. This journal says that
women have hitherto been universally
employed because their voices are
lighter and carry better and also be-
cause they have more patience and di-
plomacy. In spite of these qualilica-
lions the women operators must go,
because "All beseeching and disciplin-
airy measures have been powerless to
prevent girls from chattering among
themselves instead of devoting their
sole attention to the subscribers"
