Mr.. SEARLE SETS FORTH
Invades ii enry County with His Congress
sional Aspirations.

Charley Searle left Rock Island
county in the hands of his rival,
George w. McCaskrin. long enough
the other day to push his congression-
al boom over the Henry county line.
With Deputy Sheriff Heider as a
bodyguard he invaded Kewauee.
and the Star-Courier of that city
takes cogniZance of his presence
in this manner: Charles j. Searle.
states attorney of Rock Island
county, and mentioned as candidate
for the republican nomination as
member of congress from this. the
Tenth congressional district, was in
the city today calling on friends. Mr..
Searle. when seen today, stated that
he was looking around u see what his
prospects were and that while he had
not yet announced his candidacy. he
would provided he found sufficient
evidences of support in the counties
of the district aside from Rock Island,
which stands ready to give him it's
delegation at any time. Mr.. Searle
SAYS he has been very busy thus far
this winter and has not had time to
make many visits about the dis
trict rs yet, so he could not speak
authoritatively concerning many
of the counties. lie declares he feels
much encouraged so far as he has
gone Mr. Searle was the candidate
put forth by Rock Island county at
the time of the last congressional
fight and has been prominently iden-
titled with the party for 4 number of
years. He was today accompanied by
George Heider, of Moline, deputy
sheriff, of Rock Island county. MIR.
Searle was one of the trustees named
by Gov. Tanner for the Western illi-

all the long struggle until the govern

FUNDS FOR ARMORY,
Secretary Root Asks $500. 900
to Complete Rock Island
Arsenal Plant.
FOR MANUFACTURING SMALL ARMS.

Money, In Addition to the s35O.OOO Al
ready Appropriated, Would Provide Ma
chinery Capable of Turning Out zoo
Guns Per Day-MaI. Blunt Hopeful OF
Favorable Action on Part of Congress.
That Rock Island arsenal is receiv-
ing a share OF the attention OF the
authorities at Washington is indicated
in a dispatch sent out by the Associat-
ed Press last night to the effect that
Secretary Root has sent to congress
supplementary estimate of 5000, 600
for Rock Island armory. $299,71S for
Springfield armory, and S29, 800 for
the signal service. Gen.
Burlington, chief of ordnance. writes
that the experience of the civil and
Spanish wars shows the necessity of
large plants for small arms, the num-
ber on hand being inadequate for
emergencies
The foregoing will be gladstone It'd
ings to the tri-cities, and particularly
to Commandant Blunt and those who
have worked so faithfully in the inter-
ests of the arsenal, and the small arms
plant in particular, for it is apparent
their efforts to demonstrate the im-
pOrtance and Unlimited capacity for
manufacturing purposes at the arsen-
al, are beginning to bear fruit, and
that before many months elapse the
installation of the small arms plant
will be commenced, necessitating the
employment of a much larger force of
Workmen. 1t is intended that the
armory shall he a permanent institu-
tion at the arsenal. and to that end
several of the idle buildings will be
equipped with the best of machinery
and modern appliances procured to
develop the usefulness of the water
power.
The SjO9, 600 recommended by the
secretary of war, in addition to the
$3.50, 900 already appropriated, is nee
essary for the purchase of machinery
capable OF turning out POO guns per
day of eight hours, and is the amount
asked for by Maj. Blunt in his annual
report, after 4 thorough study of The
subject.
Action Is Encouraging.
Mai. Blunt said today the action of
the secretary of war was encourag-
ing, but he would not advise the tri-
cities to be too hopeful, as there was
| possibility, as in all large appropri-
ations of this character, OF the recon-
mendation being turned down by con-
gress. Should the bill 60 through,
| MAI. Blunt stated further, the money
would not be available until next
July. Then months would ensue be-
fore the machinery could be gotten on
the ground. Then before any direct
| benefits would come in the employ
ment of more workmen, another ap-
preparation would have to be made.

Manager Lardner received word
from the Pullman car company this
morning, from whom he has been
getting his open cars, that the compa-

street cars. and hence it will be neces-

bodies necessary to finish out the
equipment of this style. If the cars
spoken of are ordered for the Bridge

open cars used on this branch will be
repainted and assigned to other lines,

The board, on Mr.. Lardner's recon-

him to eXpend certain amount for
new cars for this branch of the tri- city
lines, with the idea that should thev
prove satisfactory and successful there,
to gradually introduce cars of similar
design on other of the more important
lines throughout the three cities. The
cars which Mr.. Llrdner hopes to in
stall during the coming year are to be
big fellows of metropolitan style, seat

seats arranged facing front like those

are to be mounted on double trucks
