SMALLPOX CLAIMS
Before the County Board-Reward
for Wendt MUIR
dererS.

The county board this morning
completed the business of the Decem-
Der meeting and adjourned. The
principal matters for which the
meeting was carried over till today
were not settled. but referred over
till the March meeting. Chief among
them was the claims of the city of
Moline for the care of smallpox pa
TENTS. 1t is held by the city the
claims are legally borne by the cOun
ty according to Il recent court de-
cision. States Attorney Weld was
called into consultation, but owing
to the pressure of other business he
was unable to give it proper atten-
ton and the matter was left unset
tied. The claims are variously esti-
mated and may reach $1,000. If
granted the city of Rock Island will
bring in claims and a much larger
sum will be called for. There is a
disposition among the supervisors to
resist the claims.
Another question land over was that
concerning the bill of this county
against Mercer county for the care
of Il family named Duncan, claimed
to have been residents of the latter.
and amounting to $175. The propo-
sition for building new drug store
and office at the county infirmary
was left with the committee which
looks after that institution to report
at the next meeting of the board.
At Yesterdays meeting. the board
offered reward of $500 for the ar
rest and conviction of the murderer
or murderers of Carl Wendt. who
was killed at Cordova last June.

FITZ, POLICE FORCE DOG,
PROVING A VALUABLE AID

Fitz, the big brown mastiff pre-
scented to the Rock Island police de-
partment by y. y. Rogers some
months ago. is becoming quite an in
telligcnt and interesting canine. For
Il time after he had secured n place
on the force he showed an incliua-
ton To take advantage of the liber-
ties Of his new estate and included
the entire town in his beat. After
the error of his ways had been point
ed out with Il club once or twice, how
ever, he learned to turn in report
occasionally and lately he has been
filling the position of assistant desk
sergeant with considerable credit to
the department and satisfaction to
himself.
All things considered, Fitz shows
remarkable aptitude for the ac-
QUESTION of knowledge, and is rapid
" taking To himself all the more i'm
portant attributes of his calling.
For instance he goes out and gets
his own dinner, carrying Il bucket in
which ii is placed. and then returns
with il To the station before partak-
ing cf his meal. This forbearance is
considered all the more remarkable
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1901-12-14

because he is still growing and has
normal appetite. Once Fitz forgot
himself and dropped his dinner to
chase another dog who held him in
particular awe and therefore put IN
an unusually fast race. Lately he
has been detailed to follow the am
bulance and the work has found
such high favor with him that he is
always wide awake when the blankets
are brought out for use and watches
Driver Schmidt's every move till the
start is made.
Fitz recognizes all the officers
wherever he meets them about town.
He is becoming more and more of a
favorite with the members of the
force as well as generally about the
city, his staid and respectable de-
meanor winning him many friends.
If no accident, political or other
wise, cuts short his career there is
every reason TO believe he will round
out life of usefulness and promi-
hence in the service of the muni-
cipality.

DISFIGURING STREETS
No Hope OF Stopping It Until Admin

Hands.

III the business men and people
generally of the Fourth ward have
complained as bitterly to those who
should represent them in the gov
eminent of the city as they have to
The Argus over the manner in which
he thoroughfares are being disfg-
ured, there seems indeed to he no
hope for reform until new order of
things develops in municipal affairs.
The Argus few days ago voiced
public sentiment with reference to
the changing of sidewalk grade i'm
the business part of the city and
quoted paragraph from the city
ordinances to show that in permit
ting the alteration the mayor had
plainly transcribed his authority and
taken upon himself privilege that
should repose entirely in the coun-
ell. \ ct the Fourth ward has three
aldermen in the council and there has
not been chirrup against this most
extraordinary proceeding.
The latest Disagreement is the
erection of a popcorn booth in Mar
ket square. This has already been
spoken of i'm The Argus, reference
having also been made to the placing
of canopy on another of the stands
in the neighborhood of the square.
Still the Fourth ward has three al
lermen and there appears TO be no
hope of a remedy.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Jan. 21.-The complete re-
rather alarming weakness shown during
the early hours of the trading this morn
ing was an astounding demonstration of
recuperatiye force. The speculative liqui-
dation at the opening was so violent as
TO give an appearance of semi-demorali-
cation in the market and the selling was
evidently forced by the wiping out of mar
gins and the uncovering of stop loss or
d( RS. Yet before the day closed the gem
craL level OF prices had risen above Sat
urGay nd the last hour of the market
showed an urgent and confident buying
movement in force. The early weakness
was the logical sequence of the course of
the market last week and the general APP
rrehenson that further reaction was
inevitable. In market in which ex-
tensive long accounts exist, this means
that brokers. in order to protect them
selves, call for additional security from
their customers for tho extension of mar
gips. This dscloses many persons who
are unwilling or unable to supply further
margins and who order the sale of their
holdings either to take what profits are
left to save losses. The professional
bear operators are able to judge pretty
shrewlv of tho volume of such orders.
This purely technical influence in the
market was reinforced this morning by
the feeling OF depression, common to all
the securities markets of the world, over
The approaching death of Queen Victoria.
The death of the Queen is not likely TO
have a direct influence on values of Sc
curities either here or abroad. but CAPT
tai. always apprehensive over change in
the order of things, expressed itself by the
selling of securities. In the opening, in
PRICES. such declines were witnessed as
31x IN st. Paul, 81 in Pennsylvania, in
Northern Pacific, 3M in Amalgamated
Copper. from | to points in the Steel
stocks and / TO points in the principal
active stocks all through the list. The
first element in the rally was the un-
wieidy short interest, which stood eager
ly waiting to take profits by buying stocks
at the decline There was an influential
section OF the market also which refused
to yield to the depression. Missouri Pa
cifc gave way only Il and was imme-
dately marked up to a level substantially
above Saturday and held there through
out the dav. In the late dealings it rose
buoyantly TO 9034 which was 5R above
the early low point. The traders followed
the movement IN the belief that the
largest buying of the stock came from
