COMES TO NEW HOME
Lightning Medicine Company
Moving From Muscatine to
Rock Island.
LOCATES IN INDUSTRIAL BUILDING
Two Cars of Effects ArriVe--AIl
Will Be Here the Pres.
ent Week.

The Lightning Medicine company
has broken housekeeping at Muscatine,
and is getting its furniture and stock
to Rock Island, its new home, as
rapidly as possible. A car load of the
company's effects and a car of the
material that the company deals in
have arrived, and by the end
of this week it expects TO be
settled in its new quarters in the In
dustrial home building.
The Muscatipe Mail of Saturday
says:
The Lightning Medicine company
moved to Rock Island this week. 1t
had been known for several weeks that
Davenport and Rock Island had been
offering inducements for this company
to locate there, but ii was thought
that Muscatine would not let her sis
ter cities get the institution. AL
though but a few years old, the Light
ming Medicine company was doing all
immense business and was considered
the foremost patent medicine house of
the west. So fast had the business in
creased that it had outgrown its quar-
tiers and the management had planned
a
home. Our sister cities, ever on the
lookout for prosperous institutions OF
various kinds, heard of the Lightning
Medicine cOmpany's intentions and at
once set out to get the company to To-
cate there, with the result stated
above. 1t appears that little or no eff
fort was made to keep the company
here. and as a result Muscatine loses
another manufacturing plant, and
with it will go a number of families,
who, had the proper steps been taken,
would still be citizens of Muscatine.
Valuable Enterprise.
The Lightning Medicine people are
heavy advertisers, and their attractive
paper is scattered from coast to
coast, followed by q number of
travelling statesmen the year round.
All this has helped advertise
Muscatine and benefited the city
= Muscatine loses what prom
ises to be the biggest medicine con-
Germ of the west, and Rock Island
gets the plum because the business
men there wanted it. They thought
it was good thing and we can
say that it is. Manager
George Gruber has placed this COM
pany where it is and Rock Island will
find it pleasant company to do bust
ness with. The loss of this splendid
should be a warming 20 |
to look well after her in |
terests and not allow any more of her
to slip away"

FEDERATION OF EMPLOYEES.
Railroad Men Hold an Important Meet
ing.

Ing.
There was meeting of the railway
men in Bloomington the other day,
the object OF which seems to have been
to federate the employees. The great
brotherhoods are working in sub
stantial union, but there is no
federation making the interests of one
the interests of all. Strict secrecy
was maintained by the participants,
and none OF the details was allowed to
leak out. 1t is. however, understood
that there is to be grievance eXecu-
tive board composed of representa-
tives of the engineers, firemen. train
men, conductors and photographers.
All troubles are thus to be handled in
the interest of all. 1t is not known
what effect this could possibly nave
on the brotherhoods themselves, but
that part of the plan may be revealed
later on

bursed to the states.'' Quoting the law for
these payments, the auditor adds that no

that has not furnished receipts from the
officers and men for the amounts paid them,
but that under the act of March 3, 1899,
payment will be made upon applications
by the governors of the states. The auditor
also says that it is impracticabe to give a

been made. but that settlements have been

Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska,
New Hampshire, New Jersey. New York,
Ohio, Pennsylvania. Rhode Island, South
