A citizen of Rock Island who has
been engaged in the liquor traffic
here for a quarter of century, has
always conducted his business within
the requirements of law and decency,
and who is now located on Second
avenue, speaking the other day of the
platform on which V. Nj. Banding
stands before the people in the pres
emit campaign, said: II do not be-
lieve in making the saloon q place
for disrepatable women to hang out
aud congregate. 1 do not tolerate
them in my place of business and l
do not sell liquor TO minors when 1
know it. What decent man wants TO
go into saloon and see q lot of OBJ
scene women come out of back room
and line up at the bar with some such
remark as ain't we in this?'
''And yet there are plenty of saloons
in Rock Island where this happens.
I want none of this in mine, and 1 do
not think the average saloonkeeper
does.

ELSIE DEPARTS
ON LAST CRUISE
Small Boat With an Interesting
Career Breaks From Moor
ings at Milan.
THE SUBJECT OF MUCH LITIGATION
A Steam Craft That Was Con.
demned Before Going Into
Commission.

The career of the one-time steam
boat Elsie may reasonably be assumed
to have ended. At least the angry
current and the sharp rocks of Rock
river have done their worst for her.
Saturday night she was torn away
from her moorings on the little is
land between Vandruff's and Big is
land and in a helpless and sinking
condition carried away on what will
perhaps be the longest cruise in her
rather singular career.
The craft was not as old as appear
ances would indicate, but few years
of neglect tell wonderfully upon q boat.
She was built on Rock river and her
machinery was installed by the pres
ent superintendent of the wsterworks,
C. M. Witherell. Upon being in
spected by a government officer be-
fore going into commission she failed
to passed muster and was condemned.
A disagreement having arisen over
her disposal Mr.. Witherell began suit
in the circuit court to recover his ma
chinery and finally acquired it.
Turned Into q MenagerIe.
The hull was sold and finally fell
into the hands of one TarboX, who
built a cabin upon it and later took as
a partner Mr.. Harris, who was pos
sessed of menagerie of bears and
elks that were on exhibition at Black
Hawks Watch Tower during the sum-
mer of 1899. The two conceived the
idea of making tour OF the lower
river with the show. but before their
plans could be put into operation a
falling out ensued and Tarbox, taking
advantage of Harris absence, one day
took full possession of the outfit on
some pretext and denied his partner
admission when he returned.
Brother Gets Property.
The latter appealed to his brother,
who is a photographer, and the
brother got out writ of attachment
on the entire outfit to satisfy an al
legged debt. The bears and elks were
sold and the boat remained in posses
sion of the photographer. OF late,
it is understood negotiations had been
in progress to trade the remnant of
the Elsie for couple of lots in Jop-
lin, Mo.

will attend to business and reach any

Under the new law a deputy may
arrest an offender in any county IN

Not Known Of Here.

The following from the Elko indie
people about the Capitol Building:
Governor Sadler appointed Thorn
as Julian Judge Of the Second Judicial
District, vice Judge Curler, who has
been absent from the State for some
time. The Governors action is prob
ably based upon Section 2548 of the
Statutes, which reads as follows: "A
Judge of the Supreme Court or of the
District Court, shall not absent him
self from this State for more than
ninety consecutive days. A violation
OF this section shall work forfeiture
of such office There will probably
be big fight over the Governors ap-
pointment"
Up to last evening nothing was
known of the appointment at the Cap
itol building. Mr.. Davis, the Cover
nor's private secretary, stated that as
far as he knew that the item was with
out foundation, as he had not been
notified by the Governor of any such
action.
In the Secretary Of States office
nothing was known of the new judg-
ship and it is likely that it would be
known there as an official appoint
ment must be filed with the Secretar,
of State and also sworn to before him
Although there is considerable tall
of such a proceeding taking place, a!
Judge Curler has overstepped the linn
it of time extended a District Judge
by the Constitution, yet it is no
thought that the Governor has mad
the appointment without notifying tn
home office.
