YIELDS OPENING A FROST
Republican Candidate for States Attor-
ney Gets Previous.

Republican Candidate for States Attor
ney Gets Previous.
II. A. Weld, who aspires to the
Rock Island county states attorney
ship on the republican ticket. ha.
given the campaign a premature
start. He opened in Moline and
nearly got frosted. notwithstanding il
was warm night. The Journal thu S
tells the story.
Fully twenty-one persons assem-
bled at Chaney's shop last evening for
the purpose of hearing H. A. Weld
tell why he should be elected states
attorney this fall. After waiting pa
tiently for some of the ring,eaders of
the club me- ement in Tue Seventh
ward to put in an appearance, Capt.
Bennett called me meeting to order,
DR.. Whiteside having assumed a re-
clining position on one of the chairs.
Warm weather. beautiful night and
the fact that it was Tuesday were
given as the causes for the slim at
tendance. Mr.. Weld opened by saying
that he was not prepared to make
q speech, as he received the
invitation only six days ago. An
other reason he assigned was the
fact that the issues have not been
definitely defined by the national
administration, and he doubtless real
lied that he might make a break.
that he had
pledged to let the boys off. he kept
going for half an hour. playing about
the edges of what he thought the is
sues would be, and defended the pol
icy of the republicans in regard to the
Philippines; said Bryan was a good
man, went back to the war in the
south for a chance TO pick fault
with the democrats aud wound
up by lauding the trusts and saying
they were repu blican blessing and
predicting the election of William Nc
Kinley. doubtless being reasonably
sure that Mckinley will figure in the
issue somewhere. Mr.. Weld invited
himself for return date. after he
gets the hang of the thing and the
maps out his re-
marks, and the boys seemed willing
that he should return. Later, to show
that he was all right, he joined the
club. plan king down the quarter neces-
sary to put him in good standing.
This was after Capt. Bennett pledged
him a large vote from the Seventh
and had proposed three cheers for
Mr. Weld-though the latter seemed
a little crestfallen that the captain
had not referred to him as the next
states attorney"

Mr. YOUNG MAY LEAVE
Has Been Elected Superintendent
Of Schools at Du-
buque.
ALSO CANDIDATE IN ANOTHER CITY
His Four Years of Successful
Work in Rock Isl.
and.

There is likelihood that Robert G.
Young. uperintendent of the Rock
Island public schools, will resign with
the close of the present term to &C.
cept a more responsible and more
lucrative position.
Mr.. Young has been called to the
SUPPLEMENTARY of the public schools
at Dubuque, Iowa, and while the
board of education there is awaiting
q definite answer from him, he is 8
candidate for the position of superin-
tendent in one of the principal cities
of the northwest, a city whose schools
have attained standard of efficiency
that is recognized throughout the
country, and whose board of educa-
ton has already claimed several Of
the leading instructors of Rock Island.
Davenport and Moline.
Mr.. Young came to Rock Island
four years ago from Montana. his
reputation as an educator preceded
him here, but his success in improv-
ing the schools has far exceeded ex-
pecuations. The wonder is that he
could have accomplished such good
results in so short period. He has
elevated the schools to a positio on
that has won Rock Island the
distinction of having one of the best
public school systems in the west-a
standing that has attracted the atten-
ton of outside boards of education
and resulted in the loss to the high
school of some of the most able
teachers it has had.
1t is sincerely hoped there may be
some turn in affairs that will induce
Mr.. Young to remain in Rock Island,
but in justice to himself it is proba-
bic he cannot do so.
Oner to Mr.. Darby.
j. F. Darby, principal of the high
school, has also received a tempting
offer from another city, but he has not
determined yet what he will do. The
high school under his administration
has advanced in it's work, perfect dis
cipline has been established. and in
all respects the school has gone ahead.
Mr.. Darby is one of the bright and
promising young educators of Illinois
and all would regret to hear of his
leaving the city.

Walter Hodgdon and Fred Tubbs
and their attorney, j. K. Scott, re-
turned today from Omaha, where
they went to fight the charge of
larceny that had been preferred
against the boys by w. H. Moore,
with whom they roomed in that city
for several weeks. Moore alleged
Hodgdon and Tubbs stole from him q
bicycle, articles of wearing apparel,
etc. He filed information against
them and had them arrested on their
arrival in Rock Island. They pro-
tested innocence and signiied their
willingness to 60 to Omaha and stand
trial. When they and their attorney
arrived at Omaha Moore was no
where to be found. For want of pros
ecution, therefore, the case was dis
missed.

One thing is certain. There is no doubt
of Mr.. Sheidon's sincerity. He believes
he is the appointed instrument to do Il
great good. He believes he is acting UNI

he felt himself impclled to this undertake
ing.
In his instructions to the reporters of
The Capital he has foreShadowcd the
character of his policy.
"If man is arrested for drunkenness, :"
he said. print only his name and the
sentence. Go find the man who sold him
