ception similar to that which affected
Huntoon.
Minority Representative In Doubt.
Returns at hand leave the outcome
of the minority representative con-
test still in doubt. In Rock
Island the vote is as follows: Nc
Entry, 1866; Andrews, d 1854; Moline,
McEniry, 1904; Andrews, 975.
In the outside townships so far
heard from Mr.. McEniry claims q
majority of 396. which would give
him on the basis of the incomplete re-
turns 1926 in the county.
In Henry county the returns at
Cam bridge indicate that Andrews has
4 900 majority, but Mr.. Andrews him
self declares he has 1850 in the
county so far, and believes it will go
better than that, in fact, insists that
he has enough to spare to insure his
election.
One Gratifying Feature
The vote III Rock Island was graft
flying in more than one respect. On
the state ticket Mr.. Alschuler ran 90
ahead of his ticket, while on the
county ticket S. K. Kenworthy made
about the same record, running 80
ahead of the ticket. Andrew Dow for
circuit clerk ran % ahead of the reg
ular party vote. The vote on the ma
tional ticket shows a loss of 40 for
Mr.. Mckinley over four years ago.
Interest In the Returns.
Not before has so intense a degree
of interest been shown in a general
election as was exhibited in Rock ISL
and last night. Every place down
town where the returns we're received
was thronged. This was true OF the
democratic and republican headquar

done its work well. The broom swept
clean. 1t was tide that could not be
stemmed. Democrats in Rock Island
accepted defeat gracefully. though
naturally disappointed.
Throughout-tA county there was
more scratching than usual on &C
count of the minority repr sentative
contest, and the result is many ballots
were thrown out as Illegal, and on
many straight democratic tickets the
vote on member of the Legislature
was lost entirely. 1t is conserva-
lively estimated the county has
gone republican by a plurality of
) 900. Alschuler ran ahead of his
ticket in the county probably 500.
Kenworthy, for states attorney, and
Dow, for circuit clerk, also received
votes in excess of the head of their
ticket. showing the popularity of each
candidate. Both would have pulled
through had the conditions been 9TH
erwise than those that prevail in re-
publican county in q presidential
year.
Republicans celebrated their victory
last night. They had bands out from
10 o'clock until the small hours of the
morning. The Argos came in for a
serenade and enjoyed the music, al
though not elated over the occasion
for it. The republicans shouted, too,
and paraded with tin pans and
brooms. They had reason to rejoice,
and they whooped it up for all they
were worth.
Mayor Blows HIS Big Whistle.
Republican enthusiasm became so
rampant over the victory that the
municipal administration lost control
of itself and turned loose the water
works whistle. Many people natur-
ally supposed there was fire, the
alarm momentarily causing much I'M
easiness among those who were away
from their homes. but the incident
will be overlooked when the ratified
state of the mayors mind. under the
excitement of political victory, is
taken into consideration.
Probably no one was more rudely
disturbed in this respect than Gen.
Supt. j. G.. Huntoon, of the Tri-City
Railway company. who had retired at
his customary early hour all unmind-
full of the election, and when the
whistle blew so furiously at midnight.

she is brand new craft, being built

will use the boat for towing shells to
the Davenport and Muscatine button

of timber obtained altogether from the
Musoatine bottoms, the bottom being
of burr oak and the sides of white oak.
The boat has a length of 20 feet, with
q l4-foot hull and is Is feet over all.
1t has two 10x24 engines and Que 49,

Illinois. Such boat is almost indis-
penssble to the button factories now,
as they are obliged to obtain their
shells as such great distances from
factories, and it is probable that before
long all the large factories will have
boats of their own and not be depend

W. A. Hysell, the owner of the
