In the appointment OF census
enumeration for Adams county it is to
be hoped that Notwithstanding what
ever pressure may be brought to bear
upon Mr. Austin Mires, the superin-
tendent of census for eastern WASH
ington, that in the employment OF
such an agent for the conduct and at
tendance to that charge, sobriety, in
tegrity and ability commensurate with
the duties to be performed, be among
the qualifications in all instances re-
quired. The compensation is liberal
and the people are entitled to faithful
and efficient service and the appointed
should be IA man of judgment who is
generally respected and known to be
trustworthy.

INCREASE IN THE
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.

When the tables of attendance at
various schools OF the city yesterday
were footed up they displayed a
marked increase over that of last year.
While the figures showing the attend
ance on the first day of the last school
year have not been preserved, and q
comparison with the showing made
last Septem Der would be manifestly
unfair, a moderate allowance in favor
of yesterdays figures shows the in
crease to be at least normal.
At the Hawthorne building 50 first
grade pupils were enrolled aud the
mum Der who will follow in a few DAYS
will swell the total to past 100. This
will necessitate the putting of an
other first grade teacher in the build
ing. All the other buildings are well
filled. Grades five and six formerly
attending the Irving school have been
transferred to the Eugene Field and
Longfellow schools. The Lincoln
school is somewhat crowded and some
of the pupils will be transferred to
the Kemb bic building.
At the High school pupils in the
10th. 11th and 18th grades were en-
rolled in the forenoon and in the
ninth grade in the afternoon.
Following is the enrolment by
schools: High school, $50; Lincoln,

NEW ROAD IS TALKED
Proposed Route Passes Through
Corner of Rock Island
County.
PART OF RIGHT OF WAY SECURED
Rich Coal Fields and Farming
Country to be En-
tered.

There is talk of a new railroad from
Muscatine to Aledo and thence to Can
ton by way of Monmouth and Avon.
A meeting of citizens of the interested
towns was held at Bushnell TO give
the project lift. The Monmouth
Review says:
The project of the new road was
informally discussed, with all the gem
tlemen stating their views. Without
an exception they favored such north
and south line, touching the coal
fields and the manufacturing centers
that it would be in a position to do a
big business in from the start.
The line proposed is from Musca-
tine on the Iowa side of the river to
Havana on the Illinois river. II
would cross a corner of Rock Island
county and go through big coal fields
to Aledo and then south through the
rich farming country of Mercer and
Warren counties to Monmouth, with
it's factories and general business.
Then it would continue, swinging a
little more southeast, through Avon,
Ellisville, Fairview and Canton. On
the last stage it would get more coal
fields and would get pull at Canton's
big factories. From Canton to Ha-
vana a right of way is already Sc
cured, and about thirty miles of road
is graded"
No Hope of Getting D., K. 1. 6 n. w.
Commenting on the above meeting,
the Monmouth Gazette says:
The Gazette mentioned some time
ago that the proposed line of railroad
between Havana on the Illinois river
and Muscatine on the Mississippi
had been revived, and there was
some show for it coming through
Monmouth. II stated that n right
of way had already been secured
from Havana to Canton, and if the
road came through Avon, Monmouth
and Aledo it would strike about the
territory not already cut up by rail
roads in this section of the state and
pass through the richest agricultural
and mineral portion of the military
tract.
IAN effort at that time was being
made TO secure the proposed extern
sion of the D., r. l. & n. w. road
through this city, but after consulting
the officers of that road the matter
was dropped and the old PROJECT was
taken up"
