THE HOT END :oF PROBLEM

The People Are G citing IL In the Sprinkler
Water Rate Dispute.
The complaints of the past two
days growing out of the dusty condi-
ton of the streets were expected as a
natural consequence of the arbitrary
policy pursued toward the sprinkler
company. Aside from the general
discontinue that is being cccasioned.
the stocks of merchants displayed
along the business streets are suffer-
ing damage. and if the dry weather
continues, the public protest is likely
to assume greater proportions. The
city has produced a problem that it is
up toit to solve, aud at once. as at
present the public is getting the hot
end of the proposition. The city
should either make an arrangement
with the present company or provide
some other means OF sprinkliug in
stead

Muller Sells Pocket Knife toGet Enough

David Muller, German who cannot
speak English, and Emma Rathje. a
Swedish girl who can speak English
and little German, too, arrived in
town from Iowa City early yesterday
morning on matrimony bent. They
laid the case before the police, who
took kindly interest in the matter,
and at o'clock a. m. reused Deputy
County Clerk Rinck from his slum bers
on hurry-up call to the court house
Arriving there the papers were duly
made out, and then it was found that
the couple lacked 10 cents of having
the dollar required by the county for
the license. But the groom had a
good pocket knife. and as early risers
were beginning to stir about the
streets a bargain was struck with
passer, by which he secured possession
of the knife for 25 cents, thus giving a
surplus capital of 6 cents. Justice
Clarke was then brought into the po-
lice station without his breakfast to
make the knot, which he did on the
1 o u for the fee plan. The groom has
found work here and the couple will
make this city their home for the
present at least.

there was no hitch. Everyone liked
him. All were content with his rul-
ings. No one complained that he
was acting the car. Nevertheless,
he declared an adjournment three
times when one couldn't have heard
a steamboat whistle on the stage.
Thereby he avoided complications.
There was another reason, it was
limited. for the plan to have him pre-
side on nomination day. This was
that he should make himself known
to democrats in every section of the
state as a man of unusual executive
ability, a clear head, a fine brow, a
good voice and a graceful figure. He
did it, and by that much his adj
mirers trimmed him into shape for
future gubernatorial timber.

QUICK ATTENTION SAVES HIM
Removed to the Hospital-.De-
spondency Prompts His
Rash Act.

Louis Nickel made an attempt at
self destruction about 10 o'clock last
night that would have been successful
if it had not been for prompt discov-
cry and action on che part of persons
who CHANGED to be near.
He was on the west side of Market
square at the time stated and was
seen to take drink from bottle and
throw the bottle away. Ray Ham
mond at once picked it up and took
it to Thomas drug store. where it
was found to have contained carbolic
acid
DR.. L. NJ. Sala and the police were
summoned and Nickel was treated to
hypodermic injections.
Removed to Hospital.
Antidotes were also given. and after
the first first danger was passed he
was taken to st. Anthony's hospital
in the patrol wagon. Here he was
carefully nursed through the night
and was reported today as well on the
road to recovery.
The quantity of acid taken was
nearly two ounces and it was CT 90 per
cent strength.
Dependency is supposed to have
prompted the deed.
Nickel is single. His parents re-

THE PENALTY FOR FAME.
That Which Hon L. w. Hurst Is Now
Paying Abroad.

That Which Hon. L. W. Hurst IL Now
Paying Abroad.
The appended which appears in to-
days Chicago Times-Herald is indica-
tive of the penalty Hon. f. w. Hurst.
of Rock Island, is now paying for
fame. Those who know that Mr.
Hurst has been rather more success
full than the ordinary Individual in the
accumulation of this worlds goods,
have never realized that he had
reached the point where he could
tackle such gigantic enterprises as
Baron Yerkes swings so successfully.
If the Times-Herald representative
knew that Mr.. Hurst can
celled one set of steamship
tickets in order to preside over
the democratic state convention,
and then engaged his passage
with the idea that he would not be
detained at Springfield more than one
day, and did not feel like making any
further sacrifice, he would not have
blamed him for hustling out of Spring
field at the last possible date to
make connections for New York, where
Mrs. Hurst was waiting for him with
his tickets. When the real facts are
known it will probably develop that
Mr.. Hurst simply took little spin
over to London to pilot his old
friend, Lauderback, over to the Paris
show.
But here is the Times-Herald'
stand, which in some respects, by the
way, is not $50 worse:
IT luna 1000 ono ~
the busiest days in the life of Elmore
w. Hurst. of Rock Island, Ill. 1t was
the last day he spent in the state be-
fore rushing off for New York and
across the water to London. On that
day, as permanent chairman of the
democratic state convention at
Springfield, he had called the dele
gates to order. delivered a splendid
democratic address, gone from tenn
porary to permanent chairman, rushed
through the work of organization,
adjourned the convention three times
under the gavel, completed the nomi-
nation of Samuel Alschuler for gov
ernor. and at O'Clock declared the
convention adjourned until the next
day. Thenshe grabbed his hat, ran
for the train and was off for Europe.
Yesterday the cables flashed this
message to the Times-Herald:
{" London, July 2s.-Charles 7
Yerkes' invasion of London traction
fields amazes the conservative English
capitalist. but some concede that an
infusion of American enterprise may
not be entirely harmful. MIR. Yerkes
is hammering away at the opening
wedge. He has had three Americans
here for some time preparing the way
for him-Elfnore w. Hurst, Chicago
attorney; ID. Fl. Louder back. presi-
dent of the Northwestern Elevated
railway. and the Chicago representa-
tive of New York banking house.
IF this statement be true no won
der Mr.. Hurst was IN hurry at
Springfield. No wonder. either. that
he whipped through the preliminaries
and declared the nominations for
governor in order on the first day.
The state democrats wanted him in
the chair when the governor was nom
mated. He was TO be there when some
other man than Ortseifen. OF Cook.

ure, little distress Is caused, and there are
far less regrets to the owner or promoter
Of deal than II few friends had sacri.
feed all they had.
The only thing stockholder should
and can guard against Is to see that the
funds obtained by the sale Of treasury
stock is used to develop the mine, with
intelligent direction. and is not frttered
away on useless or unnecessary officials
and needless expense.
Failure and success are associated In
every great industry. wherever men d.
rect their efforts. The average rate Of
success In mining will stand the test with
any other line; with the additional advan.
tage over all others that every producing
mine gives an increased wealth to the
world that did not exist before. II has
been ably said that mining "pays well,
pays the greatest portion, pays the great.
est profits, and pays In the greatest va.
riety Of ways Of any business into which
men put money, time, muscle and brains."
Mines were the foundation the whole
West and the future Inland Empire. The
trail Of the American prospector was In
the van Of what now Is and cities yet un.
born. It is the stimulator Of great hopes.
It built Denver, Spokane and all the great
