eception Committee.

John Buford post No. 243, G. A. r.,
held meeting Saturday evening at
Memorial hall to further consider the
m ovement looking to the bringing to
Rock Island of the 1902 state encamp-
ment of the society a id to decide the
part to be taken by the post in the
reception to President Mckinley when
he visits Rock Island in June. For
the latter occasion the officers of
the post, headed by Commander
F. NJ Rogers, were authorized to act
as a committee, with power to
designate as many other of the MEM
bers as they see hs to assist. The
committee will tender its services to
the general committee.
Ia regard to next years enclmP-
ment it was stated that those of the
business men who had been inter
viewed we're Enthusiastically in favor
of the effort to secure the meeting
and that the Retail Merchants ASSOC
citation would probably hold special
meeting within the coming week to
delegate a committee to attend the
encampment at Peoria the 18th. 18th
and 10th of the coming month to iu.
vite the old soldiers to hold their
meetiug next year in Rock Island.
Citizens Mast Direct.
Buford post feels that the citizens
should Immediately assume direction
of the campaign that it is necessary to
put forth if the city is to secure the
encamDment. Other towns will of
course bid for it. but it is believed
that Rock Island can win if the prize
is gone after in the proper spirit.
The state encampment OF the Grand
Army brings together no less than
10 600 people. They remain for three
days and many of them longer They
consist of the Grand Army posts,
Women's Relief corps, Sons of Veter-
ans, and Ladies' Aid society, and
leave thousands of dollars in town.
Rock Island a FavorIte.
w. P. Quayle, who has attended
nearly every state encamPment in re-
cent years. said today that Rock Is
land was popular among the old sol
diers of the state. Many of the lead
ers in the society had suggested t.
him that his town bid for one of the
meetings, as there were attractions
here that no other city in the state
had to offer Rock Island arsenal be-
ing one of the places OF especial in
terest to them.

NEW DOUBLE TRACK
BROUGHTINTO QUESTION.

A question is said to have arisen
over the legality of the additional
track that the Burlington has laid in
order to relieve the congested condi-
ton of it's single track between Twen-
tieth and Seventeenth streets, and it
may be necessary for the council to
determine the status of the matter. The
point that has been raised is as to the
limit of the rights originally given
the Rockford, Rock Island 81 st. Louis
for single or double track purposes,
and which have since passed to the
control Of the Burlington. A COM
pany that has done as much to cement
the good relations that should exist
between all railroad corporations
and the municipality "a the Bur-
ington has in Rock Island in recent
years ought to have no trouble in get
ting such privileges as the one refer
red to legalized, especially if it agrees
to complete it's improvements here
including the tower clock, train sheds
and gates and the Twentieth street
wall within specified time between

council to see that no ordinances af

a sealed lemon extract bottle contain
ing a missive, which, if true. reveals
a sad story. 1t is written with a
pencil upon which was evidently the
fly leaf of book in fair feminine
hand and bears every appearance OF
being genuine.
The representations it contains are
to the effect that the writer, who
signs herself as Clara Bradshaw, was
enticed to Hunters island. which is
located somewhere above here, several
weeks ago by two men who are camp
ed there.
No Chance for Escape.
Since getting her to the is
land. which appears to be somewhat
isolated, the men have kept a constant
guard upon her and she has had no
opportunity to escape. An appeal is
made asking the finder to come to her
rescue, the letter euding-"Help a
poor girl in distress"
The note is now in the hands of
parties who are making an investiga-
