BRICK is REJECTED
First Car Load For Illinois The.
atre Ordered Returned BY
Supt. Button.
NOTHING But BEST OF MATERIA
Foundation Will Be Completed
This Week--Pushing
Work.

The first car load of pressed brick
shipped here from St. Louis for the
Illinois theatre has been rejected by
II. II Button, the superintendent of
construction, who says they are not
up to the standard in quality that it
is proposed to maintain, not only in
the brick, but in every other material
thPt is to figure in the construction of
the house. The second car load of
brick, which is being hauled to the
theatre site today, shows up much
better than the rejected one. L. j.
Medill chairman OF the theatre COM
mittee. called the attention of Supt.
Button to the poor quality of the
first shipment of brick.
Work on the theatre, as we'll as the
building that is To adjoin on the east
of it, is progressing at a lively rate,
considering the fact that operations
were hindered by the heat OF last
week, the men being obliged to lay
off couple of afternoons.
Toe placing of the joists was begun
today. By Wednesday it is exPecI ed
that the foundation will be com pleted.
"Once above the ground" said Supt.
Button'today, you viii see the build
ing climb at the rate OF one story a
week. that is, taking i'll all that can
be put into it until the roof is on"
Criticisms UncaIIed For.
Mr.. Button was asked concerning
criticisms that had been heard OF the
foundation. IL have beard those
criticisms, too" replied Mr.. Button.
but give no heed to them, for l real
ize the people from whom they orig
mate do not know what they are talk
ing about. There is no firmer foun-
dation to be found than one of brick.
Any practical mechanic will tell you
that. By men who can appreciate
the quality of the Illinois theatre
foundation l have been highly COM
plimented- That is enough for MIR.
Johnston and myself and it ought to
satisfy the people of Rock Island.
You can put it down that the theatre
is going to be all that was promised,
and perhaps more. y

TERRIBLE DISCLOSURES.

Paterson. N. j., Jan. 15.-McAllister,

trial for the murder Of Jennie Boss
chieter. showed when brought in today
that they had a sleepless night follow
ing the terrible disclosures made by wit
nesses during the first days proceed
ings in court. 1t is not yet definitely
known whether George Kerr. who is
jointly indicted with the other prisoners.
but who was granted separate trial,
will be called as a witness for the state.
The principal evidence yet to be intro
duced by the state is that to be given
by physicians and experts to prove that
Jennie BoSschieter was criminally as
saulted before she met death and that
1t was through the assault that her
death was brought about. The prOsecu-
ton has a number of experts to testify
and the Characterization of these wit
nesses will undoubtedly bring out the
line of defense which has thus far not
been disclosed.

Frederick, Louise and Charlotte Rice
After David Rice's wife died, the letter

Helena. Jan. ia fire, believed to
be incendiary destroyed the buildings at
the Howard mine. two miles south OF the
city, on Grizzly gulch. between three and
four o'clock this morning. Flames We're
discovered by three men on the night
shift. having started in the engine house,
at the mouth of the tunnel. and quickly
spread to the blacksmith shop on the
opposite side of the track leading from
the tunnel. Both buildings We're de-
stroyed, with all the tools. ore sacks and
other outfit.
A tunnel had been run $50 feet into
the mountain to connect with the old
workings of the shaft. which had been
sunk from the summit and Wine is
being sunk from the face to reach a
greater depth, being now down ninety
feet. The men at work there ran out
on discovering the flames. and dashed
past the burning blacksmith shop to the

powder We're stored with caps. BY throw

as the flames We're attacking the ore

handy, suothered the flames by throw
ing ore on them. Fortunately the shaft
had been closed as the draft was so
strong that it blew out the miners can
dies otherwise the flames would have
been drawn into the tunnel, burning the
timbers and causing a cave-in. AS it
was, some timbers at the mouth of the

dead work since August and are lust
beginning to take out ore. They have al

and other outfit and lumber for new
buildings, and the day shift went to work
this morning, so no time was lost They
have one carload of s7O-ore ready for
shipment, and expect to ship a second
carload this month
The owners, c. a. Sheldon and j. L.
Lowe, have no doubt that the fire was
incendlary, and their suspicious point

who is personal enemy of Sheldon. Be-
fore a word had been exchanged thei,
men expressed a suspicion of the same
