superior court for $685. against the
f. @. & P. railway for personal dam
ages. Tue rtOrneys for The road car
ried the case to The supreme court and
| the decision of the lower court was
reversed. Following is the decision !:
Little, J,-After it has been shown
that person has been injured by the
running Of locomotive or train Of
oare, the right of tbs injured person to
damages for such Injury is dependent
upon the question whether or not the
company was negligent. The law
raises the presumption that it was !;
this presumption casts upon the COM
pany the burdsn Of introducing evil
dence to t@at it wss not; other
wise rec very mag be had on the
presumption, 'ese presumption is ov,
ercome only when the evidence is suf-
tioiently strong to show due care.
When the company has introduced
evidence which would warrant the
conclusion that it did show such care
and there is evidence to the contrary,
the question of negligence Is an open
one to be finally determined by the
jury. l CIR. Ev. section ID wv. There
| was no error in the refusal TO charge,
nor in the charges complained Of,

idence which authorized the Jury to de-
termine that the plsintif was injured

case on the preSum pit q
of negligence raised by the
law, aud the defendant introduced ev-
dence showing that at the time of the

raIlment was 9 freshly brOSen flanRe

dicted. bat was the only evidence in

A BOOST FROM ABROAD

The following is from the Boards
town nlinoisan-Star:
ar. II. Garm spent the first of the
week in Rock Island assisting Dr..
Roy CHS SOM to get located and &C
quainted. Whilst there he heard
much through the business men Of
the Rock Island Club, an organic =
ton of eco business men. They have
elegant quarters, all their own, and
aside from the pleasure derived from
being thrown together frequently
they accomplish much in way of en-
couraging and promoting needed en-
terprises In fact to this club is due
much credit for the rapid growth
of Rock Island. Many manufacto-
res and public enterprises owe their
esta blishment and growth to this
club. To give our readers something
of an idea of how this club promote
enterprises we recite one instance re-
lated 10 Mr.. Garm- The city was in
need OF an opera house and the club
guaranteed the sale of 900 tickets at
$40 each for the opening night, thus
raising at once the sum of $40 600 as
nucleus for building an elegant
play house.
''Beardstown can have like or
aniZation to that of the Rock Island
Club If all who feel an interest in the
city's advancement and upbuilding
will throw aside all petty likes and
dislikes and Join in pushing to success
such an organization, and, to bs seri-
Gus with our citizens. we are of the
opinion that something of the kind
has got to be done before Bsardstown
will be much more than she now il.
No city was ever in greater need of
concentrated action on important
matters concerning its future well
fare than is Beardstown. A great
many of our citizens will agree with
US on this point and yet it will
take more good, hard work TO
start the machinery in motion that
will turn out such a much to be de-
sired organization, than that of writ
ing articles suggesting such a move
ment. The CLUB has proven a good
thing for Rock Island. Such a club
would be q good thing for Boards
town. When we see good thing we
like to help push is along Who will
Join in the work of organizing such
club in Beardstown? The fact that
efforts have been made in the past to
organ'zs such a club and failed
should not discourage anyone now
We were never in greater need OF or
ganizati0n and concerted action on
all matters concerning the city's best
interests than now, and every citizen
of Beardstown who is capable of rea-
soning from cause to effect knows this
to be true"

REEVES MAY COME OUT
AETER U. S. SENATORSHIP

A conference held in Springfield last
night has set the senatorial bee to
buzzing in Congressman Walter
Reeves bonnet and there is 3 posi-
bility that his candidacy for the
United States senate will be an
nounced within the near future.
Congressman Reeves, of Streator;
Speaker L. Y. Sherman, of Macon b;
Attorney General Hamlin. of Shelby
vile, and D. Z. Berry, of Carthage.
were present at the conference, which
was held in the Leland hotel, and &C
cording to the best information OBJ
tainable it was agreed to take up
Reeves for the senate aud drop Charles
e.. Dawes.
Up to this time il has heen gen-r.
ally understood that Judge Sherman's
followers would support Mr.. Dave.
in his aspirations 10 succeed Senator
William + Mason. Sherman, Berry
and Hamlin, with their political fol-
lowings, stand closely together and
if the rumors of what transpired a.
the conference are correct Mr. Dawes
candidacy has been dealt a serious
blow.
IL was III the
ii is claimed, that Mr.. Dawes has been
gradually losing his prestige. As
comptroller ofthe currency his official
position with the government gave
him support from various influential
circles over the state that he has been
unable to retain since the acceptance
Of his resignation and this has led
those present at the conference to
cast about for a stronger candidate
Attorney General Hamlin laughed
heartily when asked if the rumored
action of the conference was correct.
The others who were present got
away from Springfield before the
rUmored action was generally known.
Judge Hamlin's denial of the rumor
was not persistent and when asked
what do you think of Mr. Reeves as
a senatorial candidate ?'' replied :
"Well, yes, | should think Mr.. Reeves
would be very good candidate"

WATER REPORT ISOUT
Tests Made at Columbia Labora-
tory, Chicago. are Made
Public.
ARE ANYTHING BUT FAVORABLE
Another Set of Samples are Sent
on by die Commissioner
of Health.

The report OF the meteorological ex.
animation made of samples of city
water sent by Health Commissioner
DeSilva to Chicago to be tested with
reference to tho presence of typhoid
fever germs has at last been made
public. The condition of the water,
50 far as one examination is able to
her etofore stated.
Five samples were sent. They
were taken from the settling basin at
the reservoir, the pumping station at
the river, the No. 2 filter basin, the
storage basin and from the river
near the mouth of the intake pipe.
All showed the presence of the colon
bacillus, the germ with which the
typhoid fever germ is so frequently
found.
lac samples were mum bered, and
by number the report was received
by the health commissioner. That
marked No 3 or the one taken from
the No. 2 filter basin, showed the
most alarming presence of the bacil-
lus colon communis. 1t must be
borne in mind that typhoid fever
germs have never been actually de-
tected in any test and they do not
always accompany the bacillus re-
ferred 10 above as present in the sam
Piles analysed.
Health Commissioners Opinion.
DR.. De Silva gives it as his opinion
that the filter basin is hotbed for the
propagation of the germs, consider
ing the fact that the sand is from the
river and more or less filed with nj
trogenous matter as favorable to his
theory. One test. however, is far
from satisfactory, as local conditions
might affect the results. Another set
OF samples wss sent back yesterday.
The work is being done at the Colum-
bia laboratory by DR.. AdolPh Gehr-
man, head of the health department
of the city of Chicago.

MANSION FOR ROCKEFELLER

wedding Gift.

II Is Said This VIII he His Fathers
wedding Gift.
Following the announcement of the
engagement of John ID. Rockefeller, Jr..
to Miss Abby Aldrich, daughter Of
Rhode Island, there is much specula-
ton as to what John ID. Rockefeller
will give the young couple as n we'd
ding gift, says a Tarrytown dispatch
to the New York Sun. Mr.. Rookie
Teller owns nearly 1000 acres of the
best land in the town of Mount Pleas
ant, and he is still adding TO his estate.
1t has always been said that Mr..
Rockefeller was not buying the land
for himself but for his son. Often the
report has gone forth that he intended
to build one of the finest mansions in
the country and present it to his son
when he was married. Mr.. Rockefeller
has just completed a magnificent stable
of granite. and this IL Is believed is to
be only the beginning of n large plan
Of building operations.
Among Mr.. Rockefeller's recent pur-
chases is the land in the Buttermilk
hill region. This is the highest point
in Westminster county. To connect
this with his property he has built an
iron bridge across the Putnam railroad
tracks. The site would be admirable
for n great country mansion. When
Mr.. Rockefeller first came to larry
town. he intended building n mansion
for himself. but he had so much trouble
with the assessors that he abandoned
the idea. 4
