According to an Aurora dispatch to

now believe there is actually some

John Leonard, proprietor and lead
ing man of the melodramatic organiza-
ton, according to the stranded thes-
plans, left suddenly with his wife to
avoid playing an embarrassing part
to an audience consisting of the act
ors and actresses who found them
selves without their salaries.

BLACK HAWK FARMER
DANGEROUSLY DELIRlOUS,

Nixon Blakely, whose home is
south of Milan. in Black Hawk, is
confined in the county Jail as result
of alleged threats he has made against
the lives of his neighbors while lab
oring under an attack of delirium,
brought on by the excessive use of
alcohol. This is not the first attack
of the kind he has experienced, but at
no other time has it been thought
necessary to take him into custody.
The present attack has been COM
ing on for week or more and it is
thought it will be necessary to in
uuire into his mental condition.

CITY'S PART TO ACT
If Rock River Bridges Are Inn
proved Milan Will Have Elec-
trio Cars in Spring.
RAILWAY PREPARED FOR WORK
Council Should Decide Early in
View of Village Franchise
Renewal.

If the city of Rock Island thinks
seriously of strengthening the Rock
river bridges in the immediate future
to permit the operation over them OF
electric cars, which are so much de-
sired by the people of Milan. in view
of existing conditions the inn
provement should not be delayed be-
yond the present winter. The cause
for haste is found in the fact
that the Tri-City Railway company's
Milan franchises expire within the
ensuing year and in their renewal it
will be necessary to continue the
horse car stipulation unless there IS
sufficient activity on the part of
the Rock Island council to warrant
the substitution of electric cars.
The people of Milan, and the country
lying south, have certainly contended
long enough with antiquated trans
portation, and should not now, at this
opportune moment, when the street
railway company not only stands
ready to install the service, but to
contribute 81. 600 to the. expense of
strengthening the bridges half the
estimated expense -be further baked
in the realization of the foDdest of
their new century dreams.
Advantage to City.
1t is an advantage to the city to
make the bridge improvement now.
Not only an advantage, but in
doing so it takes cognizance
of the inducements its neighbors
are putting forth for the coun-
try trade by providing attractive
highways leading into their business
cenfers. Moline has provided free
bridges over Rock river that the farm
ing community south of it may have
easier and better communication
with the city. Lower end farmers
have been comforting with Rock Is
land business people in the hope of
opening up short route to their part
OF the county. This Improvement
would be of great value to both the
city and the farmers.
So with the extension of electrical
transportation to Milan. The town,
under present conditions, is not in as
close touch with the county seat as
it should be in this progressive age.
A barrier is maintained between the
village and the city in'the toll bridges,
while the horse car is little or no en-
couragement to travel. The toll should
be abolished. 1t is a backwoods Gus
tom and not in keeping with modern
methods. The county and city should
jointly maintain the bridges and keep
them free to all who wish to travel
over them.
Ought to Have Service.
j. F. Lardner. general manager OF
the Tri-City Railway company, was in
the city today. He appreciates the
agitation on the part of the Milan
people. He feels they have occasion
for an awakening. He says they
ought to have what they are clamor-
ing for, and his company, although
the cost will be large. is ready and
willing to go ahead as soon as the
bridges are in shape to permit the
operation of electric cars. He would
like to see the bridges improved dur
irg the winter. If this were done his
company would proceed the first thing
in the spring with the installation Of
modern service

Work a TrIAe Coarse.

Fhe recipient is said to have been
much affected while reading the above
and had about made up his mind to
do all he could for the writer when
he came to the signature. Mark Smith
is colored man from Moline who
has repeatedly done time for various
offenses, and his we'll known character
lent shade of doubt as to the SINGER
ity of the professions. But his case
collapsed entirely when it was learned
that the signature was a forgery and
that Smiths educational attainments
are scarcely up to the standard of
those of the writer. 1t further de-
veloped that the real author was
fellow prisoner of some literary abil-
ity whose failure along the same lines
in his own interests some time back
did not deter him from becoming
Mark Smiths amanuensis in worthy
cause.
