@ WILL DIVIDE COST
OF IMPROVING STREET

The objections of the residents on
Twenty-frst street living north of
Third avenue to the assessment rolls
providing for the paving of that
thoroughfare yesterday afternoon
were withdrawn upon a promise from
Sweeney & Walker, attorneys for the
c., 3. & Q. Railroad company, that
the corporation would stand for a
portion of the cost of the improve
ment, and no legal objection now
stands in the way of the paving of the
street.
The objections were raised because
the property owners felt that the rail-
road company would reap the entire
benefit therefrom without sustaining
any share of the cost. S. r. Ken
worthy represented the property own
ers and City Attorney Scott the
municipality in the arguments which
were heard in the county court early
in the week.
Negotiations with the company
were begun in the matter some time
ago by City Attorney Scott and yes
terday Sweeney & Walker received
authority to act. Judge Adams will
not finally dispose of the case until be
is officially notified of what share of
the cost of the paving the company
proposes to sustain.

RURAL LINES UNITE
Corporation Formsd for the Per.
lection of Telephone Service
Between Towns.
NEED RAs BECOME MOST URGENT
Central Organization Will Build
Metallic Circuits From Switch
to Switch.

The Farmers Independent Trunk
q company incorporated in Springfield
yesterday. The incorporates are
Peter Eca hart and w. II. Miller. of
Taylor Ridge. and A. A. Buffum, of
Milan, and the capital stock is 81, 500.
The above company has been
formed as the first organized step
among the rural telephone owners of
Rock Island county and the adjacent
country south for the securing of
better telephone service over con-
siderable distances. The idea has
already been carried out in other
com munities in the state.
AS at present constructed, the rural
lines make no provision for commuDi-
cation between the different points
where lines center other than the
regular party lines by which they are
connected These always have about
all the subscribers they can carry and
the through service over them is ac
cordingly poor. 1t is ordinarily i'm
possible to get communication after
having gone through more than
two or three switches.
Has Become Indispensable.
The use of the phone in the country
has increased so rapidly that the need
for better communication between
towns has become most urgent and
preparations for the perfecting of an
Organization such as has been formed
have been under way for several
months. The plan is to construct
good metallic circuit lines between
the villages in the country south of
town over which a nominal toll will
be charged. The poles will be OF
standard timber and fitted up with
cross arms to carry such party lines
as may run along the route followed.
With the extension of this movement
among different communities good
service may be secured to all rural
line owners for almost any distance.
The Trunk Telephone association,
being an organization representative
of practically all the party lines in
the territory south of town, will
probably soon enter into an agree
ment with the Central Union Tele
phone company by which direct
communication will be secured with
the tri-cities under the terms which
he latter has made public.

Put In the Body What Nature Needs-Find
That In Grspe-Nuts-HOw to Build q
Body.
One of the most important discov-
cries of late is the application of the
right kind of food to rebuild the lost
substances of the body, thrown off by
the active. nervous work of Ameri-
cans.
Careful investigation by experts in
food and diatetics, has brought out
the fact that albumen, which is con-
tanned in various foods, is acted upon
by phosphate of potash, not such as
obtained in drug stores, but such as
is found in certain parts of the field
grains in most minute particles, ar
ranged in natures laboratory, not
mans.
The part of the grains containing
phosphate of potash is used in the
manufacture of Grape-Nuts Food,
therefore the active, nervous, push
ing brain worker can feed the body
with food that goes directly to the
rebuilding of the broken down
gray matter in the brain, solar
plexus and nerve ceuters all over the
body, with the result that the indi-
vidual who refreshes and rebuilds the
body with proper material of this
sort, obtains definite result which
he can feel and know of and which is
apparent TO his friends.
A vigorous brain aud nervous Sys-
tenn is of the greatest Importance 20
any business man or brain worker.

From certain Indications that
are cropping out it appears that
the Democratic congressional pri-
mary held in the Thirteenth district
last summer, Il trick by which Mr..
Robb was again made the nominee
Of that party, was not so much in
the interest of Mr.. Robb after all.
If the plan promulgated by the
very men who aided Robb in his
primary scheme is put through
successfully that gentleman's finish
will come with the completion of
the term to which he was elected
last fall. His successor had been
selected by his ostcnsible friends
even while they were resorting to
unusual methods to secure bis
denomination. This successor, it
seems, was not eligible for the
nomination last year, but would be
in 1902, and thus it was planned to
put Robb up again as the easiest
man to get rid of when the time
came. Had any able and aggres-
sive man been nominated in Robb's
stead last summer it would have
lessened the chances of this favorite
whom the active spirits in the
Democratic Congressional Commit
tee are grooming for the next race,
for such a man would be likely to
hold on by his own strength for
several terms. Whether Mr.. Robb
was cognizant of this plan and
put forth his primary scheme
to aid it has not developed, but if
he was not, and still has further
congressional aspirations he will
discover that he has become the
victim of his own intri que.

The People or the Spokesman.

Gov. Dockcry has given the peo-
pie of Missouri the most solemn as
surance that he has gone into Office
without a pledge to any man or
set of men, or interest. He is free
to do as he wills.
In his inaugural address he EN-.
phasized his ante election assurance
and his position and pledge by the
following utterance:
l renew my pledge to be govern
or of all the people; and, as God
gives me strength of will and integ-
rity of purpose, will not betray
them, but will deal justly with
them and with each and all of the
diversified interests of this proud
and progressive state.
If Gov. Dockery shall hew to
this line in his official acts he will
disappoint many politicians with
axes to grind and personal interests
to serve, but he will gain the con-
fidence, esteem and gratitude Of
the people; his administration will
be a success in the highest sense.
But if he shall yield to the pleas,
counsel and influence of the ma
chine politicians he will forfeit the
respect and confidence of the peo-
pie, which are worth more than
the purchased support Of all the
spoilsmen
The governor 'must choose be.
tween the people and the spoils-
men. He must decide whether he
will yield to the machine or force
the machine to yield to him. The
test will he decisive in tile cities o1

Democratic papers argue that
from a political standpoint the pol
ice and Nesbit election laws, which
are causing so much discussion in
Missouri, are not so bad as they
are painted; but, nevertheless,
when a grand jury of representa-,
tive citizens of both parties find
these laws fit subject for their Sc.
verest condemnation, as opening the
way for police corruption and pol
itical frauds, the defence of them
can only be made by those who rear
the benefits of such laws.

Missouri's Tagals,

Commenting on the resolution
adopted in the Legislature of this
state, That the House of Repre-
sentatives of the Forty first Genera
Assembly Of Missouri extends sym.
pathy to the Philippine archipel-
ago in their heroic struggle fol
freedom, the New York Sun Won
ders how any body of American
citizens could subscribe to a senti-
mcnt like that. ''Here are seven
ty-iivc legislators" the Sun says,
who have taken an oath to support
the constitution Of the United
States, promulgating the doctrine
that it is laudablc to oppose in battle
the soldiers of their own govern
ment." The difference indeed, be-
tween Aguinaldo's Tagals and those
in Missouri is imperceptable. But
our New York contemporary must
take into account the peculiar ma
tnre of certain class of Missouri
Democrats. The same House kill
cd a resolution to hoist the nation
al flag over the state capitol. Some
Of these Bourbons are still incon-
solahle over the results of the civil
war. With some the coonskin
nailed on the barn door land over
their inteilectD is the favorite en-
bIem of progress. For mixture
of immovablc ignorance, meanncss
and disloyalty the real Missouri
Bourbon stands alone.
The session of the Legislature is
brief and there was not the slight
est necessity to pass the Filipino
resolution except that the Bourbon
venom exists and must find an out
let. All the Democrats in Missouri
are not built on the same plan as
the Tagals in the Legislature. Sew.
eral voted against clasping hands
with the cutthroats and brigands
in Luzon who lie in ambush
to shoot American soldiers. and,
between times, rob the natives ell
gagged in peaceful industry. The
Sun must remember that Missouri
was invited once before to turr
against the national flag. but re-
fused to do it by large majority.

advisable to leave the state unit
