TROUBLE IN A HOSPITAL.

Moline Board Determined to Do Some
Probing.
A thorough investigation is to be
made by the Moline hospital board of
the conditions in the institution that
have occasioned so much trouble of
late, The board has determined to
appoint an attorney, a physician and
a business man to assist in the in
quiry., The retirement on short no.
tice few days ago, as related at the
time, of Miss Clara Ostrom from the
position of head nurse at the hospi-
tai, precipitated the crisis now i'm
pending. Miss Ostrom resides in
Davenport. AS is known others of the
hospital corps of nurses have likewise
given up their positions and there is
serious disagreement among the sur
geons who have been serving on the hos
pital staff. just why most of them left
is not clear, but after her departure,
some of the nurses in training sum-
moned representatives of the newspa-
pers to set forth her reasons for retir-
ing. The spokesman said that Miss
OstrOm was led to resign owing to
the manner in which she had been
drawn into the strife between the
physicians. One of the features of
the strife, it was explained, was the
charge that Miss Ostrom had dis
played or encouraged more considera-
tion for the patients of particular
physician than the patients of the
other physicians, and that not only
had influence been brought to bear on
other patients at the institution to
become patients of the favored one,
but that the other patients, seeing
the additional care that physician S
patients were. receiving, were eager to
employ him as. attending physician.
Miss, Evarts, the nurse who spoke on
behalf of Miss Ostrom, declared that
such charge was not true in any re-
spect and she believed that the nurses
who have been so intimately associat-
ed with the institution should be COM
petent to judge.

Entsrprl.. ov.r...pp,nr Itself.

For a number of days some of the
Chicago papers, supposed to be pub
lished in the afternoon, have been ap-
pearing on the streets of Rock Island
along from in the afternoon to in
the evening of the day of issue and
have been offered as the papers of the
day of sale. Numerous instances
have developed to show that the pa
pers were not what they were repre-
sented to be, but the most striking
illustration, perhaps. was presented
Satlrday, when they announced
the weather indications of the morn
ing papers for an uninterrupted con-
tiuuation of the hot weather. As
O matter of fact the actual afternoon
papers of Chicago had, as did other
evening papers here and elsewhere,
the information contained in the bull
letin sent out by the weather bureau
toward noon Saturday that the hot
wave was about to be broken by a
storm. The general character of the
news of these so-called evening pa
pers is on par with what was DEM

Over in Monmouth. Aledo and Can
ton the prospects of getting in on the
Davenport, Rock Island & Northwest
ems new line to Peoria from the tri-
cities is the absorbing question of the
hour. In Monmouth and Aledo, it IS
hardly second to the campaign for the
normal school location in those re-
spective towns. The Monmouth Re-
view says:
The gentlemen who are looking
after the interests of Canton, Aledo
and Monmouth in the project of a
new north and south road, have re-
ceived an intimation that an interview
with General Manager Hughes, of the
Davenport, Rock Island d Northwest
ern, might not be without results.
They have written him asking date
for an audience. and if it is granted
they will visit him prepared to tell the
advantage it would be to his new road
to go over the route.
The cities are all interested in get
ting the railroad through and think
the chances are good. They have ar
guments galore to present and believe
they can interest Manager Hughes in
their side of the case. If they cannot
they have the plan of an independent
line and it has many advantages, and
those who have been looking into the
proposition the closest are the ones
who are the most certain it is FEAST

WORK ON HENNEPIN FEEDER.
Some Idea of Character of Undertaking
and Obstacles to be Surmounted

The Sterling Standard, in the course
| of a descriptive article devoted to the
Hennepin canal feeder, says: Some
genius with more time than brains
and large head for statistics has fig
ured that it every man, woman and
child in the United States were given
a spade and set to work they could
not dig the Hennepin canal feeder in
year. These figures may or may
not be correct, but nevertheless trip
over the feeder from Sterling to the
main line of the canal would convince
the casual observer, as it did the
Standard reporter who made the trip.
that they would have no small job on
their hands. During the past year,
according to Capt. l.. l.. Wheeler's
report, there have been 2, 480, 867 cubic
yards excavated, and when the fact is
realized that two cubic yards would
be big load for wagon the readers
of the Standard will see that there has
been and is still some work going on
along the line of the feeder.
The trip itself is not one that
every body would desire to take. The
roads over the right of way are such
that full breakfast is Jolted into the
uluul0 VI HeAI H06k-IQ6Te are Uuu pS
to be crossed that are such that che
sight-seer is in constant fear of being
dumped into the waters of the rag
ing canawl" while the sun seems to
shine in that particular place occupied
by the feeder with vigor that would
tan the hide of a 1O-year-old mule.
The sun, in fact, seems to have a par
ticular spite against the United States
right of way, and striking against the
yellow clay which forms the banks, is
reflected back as if from a mirror.
These two things taken into consider
alton at the present time make trip
down the canal as exciting as though |
the sight. seer were making an explo-
ration into the wilds of Africa-and |
the coons are all there, uoo."

IS DOWN
Big Drop in Exchange
Premiums.
Banks Respond to Business Demands
Action Long Anticipated
Notice Yesterday.

Representatives of the various banks
in Honolulu met together yestcrCav
morning for the purpose OF considering
a reduction in the rates of cXcnanSe.
AS a result of the conference the
rates Of exchange have been reduced by
the banks to 80 cents per 800 on san
Francisco and to so cents per 500 or
New York and Chicago.
The rates were formerly 70 cents per
800 on San Francisco and 81 Per 500
on New York and Chicago.
Notices of the reduction in exchange
rates were posted in the different banK-
ing houses yesterday, occasioning con-
siderable favorable comment among
men all over town.
For long while it has been anticl-
pated that the old rates would be ma
terially reduced. The increasing de-
mand on the sugar and other indus
tries of the Hawaiian Islands has nat
urally brought about an increased
money business.
The matter was precipitated when
the postoffice offered money orders or
! the United States at 30 cents per 800
Banks are now furnishing revenue
stamps on their own drafts which diff
/ fers from the action of the postoffic'
which requires that customers pay fol
cent stamp on each 800 order.

FIGHTING SIXTH
FOR THE ORIENT

SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-Nearly
five hundred troopers of the fighting

ments of the army. took possession of
ents near the Lombard street gate, on
he old parade plain at the Preside yes
terday. They arrived early in the af-
ternoon from Forts Leavenworth and
Logan and jefferson Barracks. On
later train came their horses and the
equipage they will take with them to
the Orient.
The troops now at the Preside are
h and y, from Leavenworth, Captain
r. u. Paddock commanding; from Lo-
gan, with Lieutenants G. d. Rhodes and
Warren Dean in charge, ana NJ from
jefferson, commanded by Captain De
Rosey G. Cabell. Troop ID is expected
this morning and a troop, with Lieu
tenant Colonel Theodore ]. Whit, head
quarters and band, should arrive in the
afternoon. BY tomorrow two battalionS
will be encamped here.
IL has not yet been announced to what
place the Sixth is destined. The trans
port Grant is to- convey the battalions
TO Nagasaki, and there Ii is possible
that orders viii be received for their
service in China. The 500 horses will
cross the ocean on the transports Lee
lanaw. Conemaugh and Lenox. A bat
talon Of marines, due here some time
tomorrow. will accompany the cavalry
men.
The Sixth was organized in 1861, and
won distinction in the Civil War. In
later years the regiment saw much
hard service on the frontier. and be-
came known as the crack Indian-fight-
ing command. During the Spanish
American war the trool RS were in the
forefront OF the fighting in Cuba, and
maintained their enviable reputation for
efficiency in action.
The route OF the transport Grant has
been changed. Instead OF proceeding
to Guam from Honolulu. she will go to
