holders Required Outside
the Fire Limits.

Matters.

Hereafter, in order to start a new
saloon outside of the fire limits in the

sary to secure the written consent OF
a majority of the Propertyholders on
both sides of the street or avenue

Gated, for a distance of 800 feet on
both sides of the front door. In case
of discontinuance of business the
saloon status exists for seven
months, at the termination Of

also be necessary to publish the Pc
tition for license for such saloon in
a daily paper for at least 10 days be-
fore the license can be issued.
These are the substantial provisions
of an ordinance passed at last nights
meeting of the city council. 1t ap-
pears that the ordinance on this sub
ject referred at the last meeting of
the council was not properly consid-
cred by the ordinance committee, so
when Aid. Robbins reported the
amended ordinance requiring the con-

holders in the block in which the sa-
loon was to be established, it did not
carry the weight of the recommends
ton of the ordinance committee.
Aid. Concannon was ready with a
substitute substantially the same as
the one passed and it was referred.
A motion by Aid. Gall to reconsider
was lost and a motion to consider
Aid. Robbins ordinance carried.
After the mayor had Strengthened
out several parliamentary tangles and
a motion to again refer mad been lost,
the ordinance was adopted in the
form stated.

r. II. Cable Says Rock Islands Pacific Ex-

r X. Cable, chairman of the board
of directors of the Chicago, Rock Is

posed extensions: 1.-The project for
an extension to the Pacific coast is
still in the air. 1t is true that we
have surveyed line from Liberal.
Kan, to a connection with the FL
Paso II Northeastern at White Oaks,
\. NJ, but our plans have not yet
been definitely arranged even in
connection with that. There is no
official warrant for the statement that
we have been considering the absorp-
ton of the FL Paso IL Northeastern,
and that in case we could not make
equitable arrangements with the
Southern Pacific we might build on to
the coast. What we may do beyond
White Oaks will be determined by the
traffic which the line to that point
will develop"

SANTA IS SOON HERE.
Preparations for Annual Visit OF
ChiIdren's Great and Good
Friend.
He Is MAKING HIS SELECTIONS
Finds Stores Overlooking With
Presents and is Buying
Heavily.

On every hand are seen preps.
rations for the reception of old Kris
Kringle. who is scheduled to blow into
Rock Island about midnight Dec. "a
He has secured the runners of his
sleigh, and gotten his equipment al
in readiness for his annual visit
among the young folks, none of whom
he fails to remem Der. providing they
place their stockings where he can find
them.
What is troubling old Santa just
now, however, is whether he can make
his trip in his sleigh. If there ism t
snow there is no sleighing. But San
Ia is hoping for a big fall of the beau
tiful, and perhaps will be accommo-
dated, for he dislikes very much to
travel astride a deer for in that event
it is necessary to leave the other deer
at home, where they might be stolen
during his absence, and Furthermore
he cannot carry as many presents as
if he has his big sleigh.
Whatever the weather, Santa prom
Uses he will be good to all Rock Island
children Christmas. He finds in the
stores a splendid collection of articles
to select from. He is gratiied with
the display the merchants have made
and intends spending money lavishly.
Learning ChIIdren's Desires.
Santa generally drops into town
three days before Christmas and Sc
cures from his representatives. who
for weeks have been among the
Youngsters learning what they ex-
pect in presents. list of names and
articles wanted. OF course. he does
not in every case give all that is ex-
pected.
Santa Claus mail has been unusu-
ally heavy this year, and it is said he
has employed several arctic explorers
who are hard pressed to make living
at their profession to act as private
secretaries during the rush. The old
gentleman is keeping an anxious eye
upon the present session of congress
waiting to see the outcome of the par
cells post measure, ior he fancies it
contains solution for some of his
growing troubles. The passage of the
bill, we are told will be followed at an
early date by the installation of a long
distance telephone.
Peering In the Windows.
1t is an interesting study to pause
in front of the large stores and watch
the expressions on the faces of the

From morning till night the stores

that there is fair prospects of COM
pleting the bill before the holidays

izontal reduction was to be made on
all estimates, the authoritative state
