MONTHLY SALARIES FOR
RURAL ROUTE CARRIERS

An order has been issued at Wash
ington which will be of much inter
est to the rural route carriers
throughout the country, as it pro-
vides for change in the method of
paying monthly salaries. Commence
ing with the salaries for January,
payments will be made through one
of the principal postoffices in each
state. This will insure the settle
ment of monthly salaries within two
or three days after the first of the
month. At present payments of sal
airy are made by treasury warrants is
sued at Washington. The delay in
receiving the certificates of service
and the great amount of clerical work
attending the checking and correct
ing of certificates, the issuing and
signing of 5000 or 1000 warrants.
made it impossible to get the war
rants into the hands of carriers in
less than twenty days and frequently
as late as thirty days after the sal
aries have been earned.
Much complaint has been received
at the department from carriers and
members of congress concerning de
lay in the settlement of salaries, and
a remedy has been found in the plan
devised.

COPS SHAKE FEET
Second Annual Ball for Benefit
of the Ambulance
Fund.
TWO HALLS FOR THE DANCERS
Festivities Not Terminated Till )
Bells in the Morn
ing.

The annual policemen's ball given
for the benefit of the ambulance fund
was held in the Armory and Turner
halls last night. Comment upon the
character of the affair is unneces-
sary, as these functions have estab-
lished for themselves a reputation
which nothing can shake. They are
known throughout the three cities as
distinctly recherche.
The entire police force was COM
mittee of arrangements and nothing
was left out that might add to the en-
joyment of the patrons. Two orches-
tras from Bleuer's band furnished
the strains to which the night was
tripped away. The floor managers
were Otto Herkert at the Armory
and Tim Collins at the Turner, and
members of the day force acted turn
about as ticket sellers and door keep
ers. The night men kept on their
beats, coming in for a brief time
only at midnight. At that hour sup
per was served to the Rock Island
police, with officers from Moline and
Davenport as guests, in the dining
room at Turner hall.
Couple of Accidents.
Both halls were comfortably filled
during the greater part of the night,
and it is safe to say that such an as
semblage has been seldom found in
the three cities. There was neither
hitch nor a jar from late in the
evening until early in the morning.
except on two occasions. One oc-
on in, n
cross-roll backward. assumed a hori-
zontal position in the middle of the
floor and 20O-pound Davenport
maiden sat down upon him through
accident. The other might have been
more serious. Officer Bowes made the
eggregious mistake of begging an
introduction to one of the damselS.
y tragedy was prcvened by friends
of both parties.
After supper Turner hall began to
grow in favor among the revelers or
account of its superior facilities. and
the flower of the ball finally centered
there to such an extent that the
Armory was abandoned at o'clock.
From > till Turner hall was a lively
place. Seldom have such fancy steps
been seen as were reeled off there
during that priod. No account was
taken of the passage of time until
shortly after }. when some one dis
covered that the orchestra had es-
capped and the fire was out. Then
gloom settled around and one by one
the remaining couples went out into
the morning air.
The net result of the ball is an adj
dition TO the ambulance fund OF near
" $3.50. The purchasing of supplies
during the past year with the repair
ing and painting of the ambulance
and the sums spent upon the team,
mad reduced. the balance so that tn
amount secured last evening will
soon be needed
