On the authority of the Clinton
Herald lit is said the Milwaukee
company will soon issue new time
card which will give schedule for
trains to be run from Clinton to Dav-
export over the D., r. 1. d N. road
recently leased by the Milwaukee and
Burlington companies. The trains
will run down from Sabula on this
side of the river on the Milwaukee
tracks, be switched onto the new road
and will 90 down to Davenport on
this side OF the river and not on the
other, as some have been led to sup
pose. The trains from Chicago to
Kansas City will cross the Milwaukee
bridge at Sabula instead of at Rock
Island. There is better line on this
side. and by using the D K. 1. 81 n.
w. tracks the company will avoid the
loss of time in getting through Mo-
line and Rock Island and also save
the toll cost of hauling the cars across
the Crescent bridge. The company
will run a number of trains each day
through the city. as will also the Bur-
lington, which will handle it's bust
ness north and south through Gin.

From sources that ought to be as
reliable as it is possible to make them,
the information comes to The ARGUS
that after all the mysteries anent the
future CT the Davenport, Rock Island
& Northwestern road are cleared
away, it will be discovered that the
original rumors as TO the purchase of
the road jointly by the Burlington and
Milwaukee are correct, and that the
two companies will operate it togeth-

cago train service and its st. Louis

President Harris, of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy had confer

former President Perkins. Rumor
had it that the meeting concerned the
deal with the Hill-Morgan syndicate,
but President Harris had stated posi-
lively that reports that the Burling-
ton will pass into the control of the
syndicate are groundless. Banking
interests in New York, that are finan-
cially interested in the Burlington,
declare that reports that the road will
be leased by the Great Northern are
hopelessly exaggerated. They say

Deadly Grade Crossing.

The dangerous railway crossing on
Milwaukee street where many terrible
accidents have been averted by only the
narrowest margin, has at last claimed it's
victim in one of the most popular young
ladies of the city. About quarter past
five Thursday afternoon bevy of five
young ladies in a trap Miss Lillian
Haumerson driving, Miss Florence Wen
ham and Miss Ethel Howard, of Colum-
bus, on the front seat and Miss May Nc
Millen and Miss Evelyn Jessup, of Ed
gerton, on the rear seat, attempted to
cross the railway track at the place
above mentioned.
Approaching at the same time from
the north, was a broken engine under
Engineer Jake Smith and Conductor
Ed. Lowry of GAINESVILLE. The trap
crossed the track, but Miss McMillen
was either shaken out or sprang out and
landed fiat on her back across the rails.
Engineer Smith was too near to stop
his engine and expected the young lady
would be literally cut in two. However,
just before the engine reached her, she
raised to a sitting position. The pilot
struck her glancing blow and whirled
her around to the right and nearly off
the track. Her left limb was caught
under the wheels. She was also bruised
above the knee.
She was Immediately carried to the
parlors of the Park Hotel, where Doc
tors Gibson, Perry, Caswell and Stair
were called. About o'clock she was
carried on a stretcher to her parents
home on Milwaukee street, and upon the
arrival of DIR. Wood, later in the evening,
the necessary amputation was made be-
low the knee.-Ft. Atkinson Union.

Tried tn Sell the Race


Probably the less said about the matt
nee held at the Driving Park Friday af
ternoon the better, except that no one
who delights in the sport of horse racing
would endorse the scurvy trickery at
tempted in the closing event-an alleged
running race. Several hundred people
were present and paid 10 cents head to
see a mighty poor entertainment. A hall
game between the Prairie Clippers and
picked up team of home players fur
nished about the only amusement worthy
of the name. Seven innings only were
played, ending in score of 6 to in
favor of the Clippers. The umpire was
the hardest worked and most abused
man on the job. Next came a race be-
tween the Madden and Peters horses to
settle for good who owned the fastest
animal. Madden proved his title to the
honor easily. Then followed the great
fiasco in an advertised running race be-
tween bright little bay pony, owned by
Goldthorp, and an old timer owned by
Tom Madden. In the first heat the pony
ran away from its competitor so easily
that it was clear to everybody that he
had a cinch on the race. About this
time several parties appeared on the
scene offering to bet all kinds of money
that the Madden horse would win the
race, and although good many thought
they could scent job being put up con-
siderable cash was wagered on the out
come. Sure enough, when the next heat
came to be run both riders slackened up
at the quarter, barely logged in and
stopped dead before reaching the wire,
each waiting for the other to come un-
der first. The judges very promptly
called it no heat, no race and all bets off,
The funny part of it all was that un-
known to the parties that put up the
job, the jockey that rode the Madden
horse had money up on the other animal
and wouldn't have come under the wire
ahead in any event. So the trick would
have miscarried after all. If anything
like this is ever attempted again it would
be good thing for the Driving Park
association to close the grounds to all
such would be sports.

Married in Chicago.

Miss Nellie Lord of this city and Lieut.
Omar G. Humphrey of st. Paul were
quietly married by the Rev. B. S. Win
chester of the New England church in

Island near New York, and he was en-
route for that place when the bride met
him in Chicago where the marriage took
place. He expects an assignment to
some western post soon when Mrs.
Humphrey will accompany him. The
affair has been kept so quiet that gen
uine surprise was sprung upon the
brides many friends here, though con-
gratulations will be none the less freely
rendered now. She is the youngest
daughter of the old and respected family
of the late DR.. S. T.. Lord, and was born,
reared and educated in this city. The
groom is a son of well-to-do family of
st. Paul and is highly spoken of as an
estimable young man. Mrs. Humphrey

remain here until her husband is perma-
nently assigned to some post.

It is desirable that all pupils intend
ing to enter the high school or the diff
ferent grades be on hand promptly at
nine o'clock the first day. Those about
to enter the high school should decide
what course they wish to take. The
high school offers three courses, viz: The
English course, the German course and
the Modern Classical course, all of which
are four years courses. The English
course is composed entirely of English
branches. The German course is the
same as the English for the first two
years, but includes German for the last
two years. The Modern Classical course
includes the study of Latin for four
years and German for two years. The
course to be taken will be determined
largely by the Individual capabilities of
the pupil and the course which he has in
view after leaving high school. The
principal will be glad to confer with any
parents or pupils desiring his advice or
assistance in this matter.

TRADEMARKS IN GERMANY.
wherein the Law May Work to
DISADVANTAGE of Foreigners.

Some months ago the state depart
ment received report from the Amer
lean consulate general at Berlin, Ger
many, calling the attention of Amer
lean exporters of manufactured goods
to the complications which were apt
to arise through registration and
usurpation of their trademarks in
Germany by unauthorized persons or
firms. The report having been pub
lished and copied in Germany, was at
tackled by leading Berlin newspaper
on the incorrectly assumed ground
that the report had stated that Amer
leans were unduly Disseminated
against the trademark statute.
Consul General Mason now furnishes
the department with supplementary
report explaining that his former
statements sought to point out the
consequent danger which American or
any other manufacturers. alien or ma
tive, might incur by selling in Germany
goods designated by trademark not
legally registered in that country.
This danger would apply more particu-
larly TO foreigners who might nat
urally be ignorant of the ease with
which any trademark, not already pro-
tected in Germany. might be registered
and thereby usurped by an unauthor-
lied person under the provisions of
the German law. As has been stated.
the sole essential condition required
to register a trademark in Germany
is the fact of its not having been pre-
viously registered in the empire.

That Country Turning Attention to
the Development of Her Nat

As illustrating the effort now max.
ing by Spain to meet the prevailing
high cost of coal by pushing the devel
opment of the native mines, Deputy
Consul General Maddin Summers, at
Barcelona, has submitted to the state
department brief account of the pro-
posed new railway from Sargossa to
Utrilla. Utrilla lies about 70 miles
south of the city of Sargossa in the
hiliy district of the province of Tereul.
1t has long been known for it's collier.
les, but these, owing to lack of trans.
portation-which made competition
with Welsh coal impossible-hav
never been properly worked. The
length of the proposed railroad will be
about II miles. Seventeen miles of the
run will be through very difficult re.
gion. The line will run through tun.
mel and over three bridges, and there
are to be ten stations on the line. 1t is
intended to have the depot at Sara,
gossa provided with every facility for
loading and unloading.

Offers to Pay Expenses of Astron-
Omers to Sumatra.

William H. Crocker of San Francisco,
has offered to defray the expense of a
SOAR eclipse expedition to be sent by
the University of California from Lick
observatory to Sumatra to observe the
total eclipse of the sun on May IL.
An astronomer and assistants, with ap-
paratus from Mount hamilton. will sail
from San Francisco on February 10, to
be away until July. They will esta ablish
an observation camp somewhere with
in 20 miles of Padang, on the west
coast of Sumatra. Prof. E. f. Barnard,
of the Yerkes observatory. at Williams
Bay. Wis.,. will also go to Sumatra. He
will be the guest of Prof. Stephen T..
Brown. astronomical director of the
United States naval observatory.
As the sun will be wholly obscured
for 6Ka minutes, the opportunity will be
most favorable for photographing the
corona and observing other eclipse
phenomena.

Card.

The officers of The Central Mutual
Fire Insurance Association desire to
thank the members of the Associa-
tion for the prompt payment of AS
sessment No. 1. The Directors believed
that the collection of this first assess
ment would be test of the stability
of the Association. 1t has stood the
test, and we deem it a matter of con-
graduation.
The losses during the first year of
the existence of the Association were
IL mills on the dollar, and this rate is
one-third of the usual rates of old line
fire insurance companies.
The total amount of insurance now
in force is $457 ,053.0O and the Associa-
tion is but one year old.
The losses since the assessment of
September 18th, 1900, are as follows :
Jane L. Ridgway, $500.
G. w. H. Smith, s14.65.
John c. Mccoy, $500.
