Popular Warnings.

The triumphant election of Tom John
son and Carter Harrison, although local
in their character, is significant, and is a
notice to Bryan and all live men like him
to get out of the Democratic party rut
and strike for higher ground.
The people are going into the trust bus
mess for the universal benefit of all and
not as at present, for the benefit of few
favored persons who have great aggrega'
ton of capital behind them. Municipal
ownership not only, which is pushing it:
way to the front in city politics, but gov
eminent ownership of natural monop
olies is taking hold of the public mind
not along party lines but irrespective o
party.
There is no sense and no honest bus
mess in permitting the Associated Pres:
and the telegraph to dominate and dom
ineer over the daily press as they are
doing-or we might better say it is doing
for they are one monopoly in fact.
The railroad trust which continues t
gather into its constructing folds, roat
after road, has almost reached absolute
power over travel and transportation
And the bank, or money trust, creates
of the trio of the three national natura
monopolies, has grown so drunk will
power that it is throwing off one disguis'
after another, till it stands forth almos
in its hideous nakedness.
The municipal elections recently hell
are notices served by popular drift tina
the men who aspire to lead must get on
of old party ruts and strike for highe
ground. Let theui take heed.

SHE DROPPED IN RIVER:
AERONAUT'S BODY FOUND.

The body of Mrs. L. A. Seeley, the
aeronaut, known as Lillian LeFay.

terry since she assembled from one of
the business streets in La Sale seven
days ago, was found yesterday after
noon by Charles Foster and Fred
Kramer. residents of Peru, Ill, in
he Illinois river, four miles below
La Sale.
The ascension was made at dusk
and the balloon pursued a course
southwark towards the river. When
the parachute leap was made several
persons claimed to have seen the wo-
man land in the river. In order that
all might be satisfied the authorities
caused the fields to be thoroughly
searched and the river dragged.
Then, after no trace of the woman
was found. Al Seeley, her husband.
gave it as. his opinion that she had
been abducted by his enemies. The
remains will be sent to Reed City,

MtEDING The LEAKS
Repairing of the Waterworks In.
take Pips is Begun by
Diver Ram.
WORK Is DONE FROM A SAND BARGE
Air an Important Factor in Fur
thering Operati 9ns..
The Apparatus.

Arrangements for beginning work
upon the repair of the waterworks
intake pipe we're practically COM
pleted last evening and this morning
the barge upon which the apparatus
was rugged was poled out into the
slough and work was begun by Mr..
Ram, the diver.
The barge used is one of the ordi
nary sand barges and it has been
rooted over to protect the machinery
in case of inclement weather. A
1O-horse power boiler has been set up
in the middle of it and the machin
cry, which belongs to Mr.. Ram, dis
tributed about conveniently.
The apparatus consists Of 6-inch
sand pump, steam and hand air
pumps with storage tank, water
pump, pneumatic hammer aud a
quantity of ropes, cables and anchors
tor the purpose of anchoring the
scow while at work The barge will
be moved to one of the marked places
where leak has been found in the
pipe and the sand pump set at work
to%clear away the mud and sand from
about the jlint. To aid in this the
water pump will be used and Jet
turned on under the water to loosen
the earth. The diver will, of course,
work in the water all the time. Woeu
the pipe is barred, the air will be
turned on at the waterworks and the
exact nature of the leak will be de-
termined by that means. While the
repairs are in progress the air
will be kept on so thatit will be known
when the work is done. II the leak
is simply caused by the dropping out
of portion of the lead calking that
was originally put in it will be
stopped by pounding in cold lead with
the aid of the pnuematic hammer. If
this means is not deemed practical.
then the break will be closed with
melted lead by process for which
Mr.. Ram holds the secret.
Tested by Air.
When the entire pipe has been gone
oven and the doz an or more leaks that
have been located repaired, the whole
will be subj scted to an internal air
pressure OF 20 pounds. as specified in
the contract, as a finsl test. a force
of men are at work excavating at the
south end of the pipe next to the small
well to locate leak that has been
discovered there by the air test and
which will be calked by Nc Ram
when found. The barge will not be
moved except from one leak to an
other, those at work going back and
forth in ski1s.
Two assistants were brought here
by Mr.. Ram and two others he hired
here. The city furnishes an engineer
and such other help as is needed. The
diver, of course, works in his diving
apparatus and is attended by man
who understands the business. When
in shallow water air is pumped to
him with the hand pump, but when
at great depth a small engine is

REAR END COLLISION
Another Bad Freight Wreck Oc-
ours Near Hawthorn Yard
Today.
CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE Is DONE
Through Tracks Blocked and
Morning Chicago Mail
Held Up.

Hawthorn yard is sustaining its
reputation as the most notorious one
for wrecks and mishaps on the Rock
Island road. The latest accident &C.
CURED about o'clock this morning,
and while no lives were lost and no
limbs damaged. an engine was placed
out Of tie running, several cars were
more or less demolished, and the fast
NAL and other morning trains were
delayed several hours.
Just who is to blame for the mis-
hap or whether anyone Is at fault is
a question for the officials to decide
wsen they make the inevitable inVes-
tigation. The collision was one of the
rear end variety and occurred about a
half mile east of the yards. Freight
tain No. 80 struck the rear of train
Nc. 93, both being west bound, while
t. latter was standing still and the
former running at q fair rate of speed.
The caboose of 90 was demoli he'd,
be ng telescoped with the b7x car
ahead of it, which was loaded with
steel. Two other cars were thrown
of their trucks. The engine on 80
was the 1908 and it was damaged s

for extensive repairs. Engineer Jack

who were on. the 1908, were not hurt,
nor was Conductor George Spear.
who was the sole occupant of the
caboose Just before the collision DC
jumped he in all probability would
have been killed.
How IL II Explained.
Some OF the men who were about
at the time of the accident claim that
the signals on the SO had been taken
10 preparatory TO running into the
yard and that the fog prevented the
train from being seen by the engine
men on SO. Others claim that Flag
man Madden, who was on the 90,
gave the signal to Engineer Lynch
and the latter found the air brake
would not work when he attemp pied
t. stop.
1t was near n BON before the wreck
age had b en- suffi Siently cleared
away to permit the passage of trains
on the west bound track, but in the
meantime trsf fic had been carried on
with some difficulty by using the
east bound track from + .st Moline to
Hawthorn The greatest inconven-
fence was occasioned by the delay of
the fast mail train due here from
Chicago at about O'Clock. 1t was
held about three hours, and the pee
pie of the tri-cities were corr espond-
ingly late in getting their morning
mail.
Engines Clash.
AS the 1880 Milwaukee passenger
was coming in today Q switch en-
CINE ran into the passenger engine
sidewike on converging tracks in the
vicinity of the viaduct. The switch
engine lost a cylinderhead and was
otherwise scraped up, but the passen-
ger engine was able to proceed on its
way.
