MAY STOP THE PLoW TRUST
Failure of Deal with Moline Company
Checks Combine.

Because an option for the purchase
OF the Moline Plow company, to be
merged into the pillow trust, was al
lowed to go by default when it ex-
pired July 1. it is rumored that the
proposed com bine, incorporated last
week as the American Plow company.
may not go through. The Moline
Pillow company is the second largest
factory in the trade and has refused
to enter the combine. but gave an
option to sell for $4,000 600 cash
Until the last hour of the time of the
option it was supposed that the deal
would be closed, and the failure seems
to indicate a disagreement. Moline
men returning from the trust meeting
in New York say that the date when
the constituent companies are to be
taken up has been deferred till Oct. l
because several failed to file complete
inventories of their assets at this
meeting.

MORE TROUBLE WITH
THE RESERVOIR SEWE r

One point of stoppage in the sewer
laid at such heavy expense last win
ter to drain the settling basin at the
reservoir has been found, but it has
been discovered there are other i'm
pediments in the pipe. The stoppage
found was due to a collection of mud,
aud it is likely that this will cause
much trouble in the future. Search
ing for these clogged portions of the
pipe is very costly work, owing to
the fact that they are laid about 20
feet deep and the sides of the excava-
tion have to be walled up with plank
to proven: their ,caving in.

Not In Quarantine.

Probably by misu nd erstanding,
possibly by being misinformed. some
of the tri-city papers stated that the
Hartz & Bahnsen company wholesale
drug house had been quarantined.
This. we are glad to state. is not tho
case. 1t happens that the house has

positions, who are in quarantine, and
this has put it to some Inconvenience

as stated. There is little If
any danger that its employees will

roads, Baseball and Other
Attractions.

Tomorrow the eagle will scream
throughout the length aud breadth of
this mighty land. Millions of people
will assemble in thousands of groves
to hear read that concise and logical
statement to which our forefathers
were periodically inspired to SUBJ
scribe, TO see the neighbors, to eat a
picnic dinner and to crafty hundred
and one other unexplainable desires.
Tomorrow the small boy will spend
his boarded pennies for explosives and
his pa will foot the bill of damages;
the young member of the bar will vo-
ciferously thunder forth that creation
of his fertile brain over which he has
been sweating for the past two weeks;
the refreshment vender will yell him
self hosrse and be compelled To talk
in whisper for week.
The Fourth II July will be OBJ
served in Rock Island the same as
elsewhere. There will be as much
noise. as many accidents and as large
n plumber OF sore heads on the fifth a.
in any town of its size in the west
There will be no general cougrega-
ton for picnic purposes, private en-
terprise having triumphed over pub
lie sPfrit in this direction hereabout.
In spite of this, however. there will
be many strong attractions To tempt
the truly patriotic to wander abroad
and spend their money.
Attractions and Outings.
First there are the Watch Tower
and Prospect park the management
of both of which have taken pains to
let the people know what will be

from home. Lastly, there is
the alternative open TO all of re-
msining decorously at home, which
will. no doubt. be the fate of many.
The ball game at Davenport between
the teams from that city and Rock
Leland will be one of the most inter-
esting of the year. No doubt hun
dreds of the fans from this side will
be on hand to see that the Shamrocks'
good playing d pes not spoil for want
