RICH FIND IN SEARS.
Good Prospect for Founding of
Important Industry Near
City.
VEIN OF SEAM MUD Is LOCATED
Twenty Feet in Thickness..Rep.
resentatiVe of Large East
ern Firm Here.

A valuable find in clay is reported
to have been made in the, hills near
Sears which it is believed will mean
the founding of most important in
dustry either here or in South Rock
Island in the near future.
The particular kind of clay discov-
cred is that which is known as seam
mud or a light variety Ised in the
manufacture of bath bowls and other
wares of similar nature and is of
exceedingly rare occurrence. The
only places where it is found in guam
titles which can be worked extensively
are at Trenton, N. j., and Kokomo,
Ind.
The vein found in Sears is sail to
be 20 feet in thickness and only few
feet below the surface. The repre-
sentative of large pottery firm OF
the east has sent samples away for
analysis, and if it proves to be the
grade he has every reason for believ-
ing it is, a large factory for utilizing
the bed will be started here
Another Vein.
There are thin veins of seam mud
in various parts of the country, one,
as is generally known to pottery men.
being located in the hills below the
village of Andalusia. From this point
clay has been shipped at various times
to eastern and northern points, being
mined at great labor and expense and
hauled by wagon 10 miles to the cars.
Preparations are now on foot for the
testing of the extent of the vein in
Sears.
A Des Moines brick making plant
has had representative in tins vicin-
ity for the past few days prospecting
for clay suitable for the uses of the
concern. Samples have been sent in
and if satisfactory another plant will
probably be added to those already in
operation near the city.

The Daily Short Story ;
oreenIee Surprises His Wife.
BY EDWARD F. YOUNGER.
s~NNN~~NN

Earl Greenlee had gone about for
several days bowed down with the
weight OF u great secret. His vigilant
little wife had exhausted her bountiful
store of expedients in trying to dis
cover the mystery. Cajolery, threats.
wheedlinC. eXpostulation, argument, all
the intricate wiles employed by skillful
women TO get at the inner thoughts of
her lord and master. were brought into
play without avail.
Finally she became desperate, and to
moIlify her Greenlee intimated that he
was planning a joyous surprise for her.
He let fall the hint that he had been
on the right side of the stocks in a
recent deal and "wifey" was going to
reap the benefit. Beyond this he would
not utter a word.
At last he announced with a grand
flourish that his surprise was ripe.
Without going into any details he
would simply suggest that any one
who was interested might have his or
her curiosity satisfied by securing n
position ut the front windows at or
about o'clock that afternoon. Then
he hastened away. despite the almost
angry protests of ''wifey" that he GER
tainIy should tell her in advance of the
others. But Greenlee was obdurate.
''The surprise is for you, dearie,' he
said. "and 1 want il to be complete. L
shall look for you at the front window
up stairs about . o'clock, and when you
see what il is you will forgive me for
not telling you and spelling it ALL"
AS soon as he had departed all the
women in the house Immediately went
into executive session for the four
hundredth time since they had first
noticed symptoms of Greenlee's secret.
All of the old straw was vigorously
thrashed over, but they were finally
forced to give up the problem, just as
they had done before. Then Mrs.
Greenlee went up stairs and INDUCED
in a spiteful little cry all by her lone
some After this she bathed her eyes,
put on her best clothes, eradicated the
tear stains with plentiful dabs of pow
der, and hunted up the other women
to see IL any of them had evolved
working idea, but they were still
cropping in the dark.
Meanwhile the day wore on and
o'clock was approaching. The resi-
dents of the house lined up at the win
dows after much sparring for the best
positions. The little ormolu clock
chimed the hour OF ., and five pairs of
eyes searched the avenue up and down,
but there was no trace of Earl Green
lee and his mOnstrous surprise"
Occasionally some one would go to the
street door and peer through the maze
of vehicles and individuals thronging
the avenue, and it was even suggested
that opera glasses might be used to ad-
vantage. Then the clock struck the
hour of 3.

Two NIGHTS at Theatre.

The Chase-Lister company will be
st Harper's theatre Sunday and Mon
day, presenting two great plays.
Sunday evening 1.-The Man of Mys-
terry" and Monday night the beauti-
full comedy drama, wicked London. !"
This play is a clever and realistic
dramatic exposition of scenes and ex-
periences incidental to life in the
great city of London. 1t differs some
what from the usual quiet melodrama,
in the fact that it is intensely dra-
matte from the first act to the last.
The story is simple, dealing with the
Vaccinations of q clever scoundrel,
aided by heart,ess father, to secure
the hand of a young girl whom he
seeks to make his wife. The hero
loving the girl himself, endeavors to
thwart the clever scheming of the
other two. This forms the basis of one
of the most interesting plays ever pro-
duced in this country, and brings
continuous series of dramatic sur
prises, startling situations and thrill
ing climaxes.

DIES ON Race HOME
Miss Minnie Schock Succumbs
on Journey Across the
Continent.
FROM DENVER TO CINCINNATI

Passed Through City Yes
terday Afternoon.

Racing with death from Denver to
Cincinnati, where she would be con-
tented to surrender her life if sur
rounded by friends and dear ones,
Miss Minnie Schock, who was a pas
senger on yesterday moons Rock Is
land train, succumbed in Chicago last
evening. After clinging to life with
the hope that she could survive the
long course of nearly 2 900 miles, the
young woman's strength gave way
shortly before the flying train bear
ing her home to die reached Chicago.
When the train reached the Rock Is
land depot Miss Schock was uncon-
scious. An ambulance was hurriedly
summoned by her brother, George
Schock. Orders were given the driver
to go to the Samaritan hospital, but
on the way the young woman ex-
pired in her brothers. arms.
Hopes Against Hope.
Still hopeful that there might be q
chance to revive his sister and that
the apparent end was only a sinking
spell, the brother insisted that Miss
Schock be taken into the hospital and
examined by physicians. There all
hope was lost, for the young woman
was pronounced dead as soon as ply
siciAns were summoned to the room
in which she lay on a couch.
Six weeks ago he left Cincinnati for
Denver with Miss Schock. She was
victim of consumption. After all
efforts had failed to conquer the dis
ease, a trip to Denver was decided
upon as a last resort to save her life.
Miss Schock consented to make the
trip with her brother if she could
come home to die when she realized
that death could no longer be avoided.

After several weeks spent in Dem
yer, Miss Schock failed to improve
and she was determined to reach home

oBSTREPERoUS CITIZEN
CAUSES DISTURBANCE

A citizen who has been seeking to
establish a precedent as to what
should constitute the relations be-
tween the Tri-City Railway company
and the public in the matter of the
collection of fares made an exhibition
of himself on one of the heavily
loaded trains on the Tower line COM
ing in from the ball game yesterday
afternoon. The citizen has made
trouble before in the same manner,
the conductors claim, his practice be-
ing to demand transfer before pay
ing his fare, but on former occasions
the conductors have, after expostu-
lating, yielded rather than give occa-
sion for disturbance. Yesterday the
same caper was repeated. The
conductor explained that he
would issue the transfer vixen
the fare was paid, but that the
passenger must pay his fare the same
as other people or leave the Car. The
obdurate individual declined to do
either, and defiantly braced himself to
hold the fort. The conductor at
tempted to remove him and was

who finally got his legs so entangled
that one of the company superintend-
ents who was on the car cautioned his
men to take no chances in injuring
the passenger in ejecting him, but get
him off the car unless he paid. The
struggling individual was finally
landed on the ground, but even then
he fastened his legs in the trucks
of the car, and one of the spectators
tired of the delay paid the mans
fare, ana he was invited to re-
enter the car. But he failed to avail
himself of it or thank the cit
izen for the kindness, and walked
away from the car. 1t proved
quite an exciting little episode, and
while the company in the end en-
phasized its rule that passengers
must either put up or be put down,
the obstreperous passenger, who i'm
agined that he was playing the role of
a martyr, simply left the impression
that he was laboring seriously under
a rediculously erroneous notion.
