harmonious and successful partner

DAVENPORT DOTS

Word has reached this city of the
death of John Stroh, son of Fritz
Stroh, which occurred at ST. Louis,
Mo-, Wednesday, at the age of AZ
wears. The deceased was native of
this city.
Health Officer High reported Satur-
day afternoon a suspected case of
smallpox out on the Locust street
road west of the city, adjacent to the
Tagge home which is now under
quarantine. Mr.. High did not recall
the name of the patient. DIR. FRANC
Stiles who discovered the Tagge
lease, and called upon the clerk of
Davenport township to establish the
quarantine, is in charge, and reports
the infection as slight. The two cases
are outside the jurisdiction of the To-
cal board of health.
Friday evening about 3 o'clock, Of
ficer Sanford's attention was called to
three men who were walking up Rock
| Island street from Second, and who
all appeared to be intoxicated. In
reality, however, only one of them
was in that condition and the other
two were pretending to be so in order
to obtain the money of the man who
was drunk. He had in his pocket
about $50. When passing the Eagle
restaurant on Second street. two men
| had come out and started up the
| street with him, but when they were
endeavoring to get his pocketbook
from him he was not so drunk but
what he wanted to keep it and he
held on to it. They were just about
to enter a livery barn on Third street
when the officer came up and they
| fled. The drunken man was sent up
to the station to sober up but the at
tempt to find the other men was un-
successful.
AS No. Al, the Chicago. Omaha &
Colorado limited train pulled into the
c.. Il. l. & p. elevated depot at 1902
o'clock Saturday night, a crew of
Greek laborers were standing on the
| platform anxious to board il for
run to their home in Chicago. The
train was westward bountl, but the
Greeksdid not know it. There was
later train. and in their haste to
board this one, which scarcely halts
here, they jostled one another quite
uncomfortably. One of the number
was rudely jostled against truck
and fell. His left foot was thrown
under the wheels and badly crushed.
The ambulance was called and took
him to st. Luke's hospital where his
injury was dressed. 1t is not thought
he will lose the member. The injured
Greek did not give his name. He was
unable to speak English, and the only
word which was intelligent was Chi
| cago." He was therefore entered at
the hospital as Chicago" a Greek la

Mrs. WoOdworth-Etter and her faith
curing establishment have nearly
proved the undoing of the police
force. Not that the officers have been
enticed from their duties by religious
excitement or the zeal of the truly
elect, but calls for the ambulance
have been SO frequent and persistent
that members of the force are on the
verge of nervous prostration from
that calamity known as overwork,
and the influence of the mayor has
been evoked to put stop to the
abuse. The ambulance has been con-
stantly employed during the past few
weeks in carrying the sick, the halt,
the blind, and the MANNED to the
healing establishment in the War;
building, and as each trip means the
detailing of two officers from the sta
ton, the night men have been called
on for day service several times dur
ing this time. Accident calls must
wait till the wagon returns from some
obscure spot from the wilds of South
Moline, and physicians with patients
to be removed to the hospital have
found it almost an impossibility To
locate the ambulance when they need
ed it. Hereafter the police depart
ment will not answer this class of
calls, as the mayor has placed his foot
down firmly. The usual run of acct
dents and hospital and sick calls is
all that can be attended to. The
usual request for the ambulance from
these people is just for the down
trip as they are always positive that
they will be able to walk home. But
it has been noticed that many who
are taken there in the ambulance
have to be taken back home in the
ambulance.

could not control the frantic animals.
The railway crossing gates were
down, but Flagman Holt managed to
lift them in time to prevent their de-
molition, and the team made a
straight break on to the government
bridge, without showing anything
like regular pass. Over near the

to stop the flyers after all the vehicles

obligingly turned into the ditch. This

MOLINE MENTION

Moline milkmen have raised the
price of milk to 6 cents quart. All of
them complain of the scarcity of milk
and are unable to supply the demand.
Last spring John Fisher and Miss
Jennie Hill were being congratulated
by their friends upon their reported
marriage which was said to have
taken place in Joliet. The young peo-
pie denied the happy event at that
time and for a time were kept busy
warding off the good wishes, which
they declared they were not ready to
receive. Now, however, they admit
the fact and furthermore say the we'd
ding did talle place in Joliet at that
time, though they were not then
ready to make it known.

Clerks and Their Leaves.

Commissioner Ware seeks to establish q
new standard of clerical efficiency by bulle-
timing the promotion of one of his pension
office assistants whose most conspicuous
virtue as thus posted. is the fact that in
four years he has taken only fourteen DAYS
of his annual leave. or 106 days less than
the law allows. Leaving aside all -uues-
ton of this mans individual efficiency.
which may in itself merit his promotion.
the fact that he has taken such a small
portion of his leave does not commend it,
self to the public judgment as good basis
for special reward. There Is nothing deroe-
atory to a clerks character and nothing
detrimental to his efficiency in his using
up all of the annual leave granted to him
by the statutes. Rather Is he likely to be
the better clerk because of his judtcious
care of himself "All work and no NAV
makes Jack duh boy Especially is
this truth applicable to the government
clerk. whose tasks are largely Of a routine
character. uninspirational and unin Serest-
ing. There is little variety In the daily,
weekly. monthly grind Of duties. An III
rested machine soon wears out. as the rec
ords Of accidents In large manufacturing es-
adjustments clearly prove. Good managers
