No Reliance In Vaults.

Since it has been proven that the
strongest built vault can easily be
opened by expert safe-crackers, the
treasury department has decided to
add to their massive vaults and com
plicated locks a novel electric bur-
glar alarm. While the government is
endeavoring to protect the nations
wealth in the best manner possible,
it is very important that we should
endeavor to protect our health from
the inroads of disease. The safest
medicine to do this IS Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. BY strengthening
the stomach, perfecting the digestion
and purifying the blood, it prevents
disease from obtaining a foothold. 1t
will also cure dyspepsia, fiatulency,
constipation, biliousness, nervousness
AMI malaria, fever and ague. One
bottle will convince you of its value.

visable to allow time for thorough
discussion of the matter.
Report on Rock River Bridge.
y turn was taken at the proposed
upper end bridge across Rock river,
but the site was not determined up
on. The committee presented three
estimates of the cost of the bridges
without approaches and left the
question of selecting the site to the
board in committee of the whole. The
report, which was adopted, was as
follows:
Your committee to whom was re
ferred the bridge across Rock river
would submit the following: Have re
ceived estimates of cost of bridges
without fills or excavations, as fol
lows: Cleveland, $4,000: Rarstow.
$4,000; Colona, $4,000. Now. if the
citizens of Rock Island county raise
bona tide subscription of $4,000 we
would recommend the building of
said bridge, said subscription to- he
deposited in a bank to credit of the
county before the contract is let. We
would further recommend that the
board meet as committee of the
whole to view the sites and report not
later than Jan. l, 1908, locating the
site. Said subscription TO be complet

view the site"

BASEBALL BRIEFS.

For the second time Fred Pfeffer
has obtained damages in his suit
against the New York baseball club.
y jury before Justice Dugro in the IL
linois supreme court today returned
a verdict in favor of the once great
second baseman for $737. Pfeffer was
suspended without salary in 1896 af-
ter having played but one or two
games. the club claiming that he
could not get into condition. He sued
for his seasons salary.
y Bloomington paper says: The
proposed Central league. fathered by
the SecederS. cannot object to the
Three-I retaining the old name, and
doubtless would not if they could.
As Il result the argument may he
made in favor of leaving the familiar
name unchanged, especially when
there appears to be a possibility that
the two Indiana towns may seek to
re-enter the fold in case that the new
league does not prove to he Il winner.
AS the weeks go by il is demon
strated that interest in the Three-I
towns is not lying dormant. Gossip
of the coming season is being eager
~ INDUCED in. and some fast teams
are being made up on paper. All of
the clubs have their managers signed.
the list being as follows: Blooming
ton. VIII Corners; Rockford. Hugh
Nicol: Rock Island, Frank Donnelly:
Dubuque. Clarence Rowland; Cedar
Rapids. Belden Hill; Joliet, Al. Te-
beau; Davenport. J. T. Hayes: and
Decatur. George Reed.
The last named is the last to affiN
his name to contract. He captained
and managed the bloomington team
two wear ago. but retired after break
ing his leg while running to first base.
Since then he has been in the South
ern league, managing the Shreveport
team. He will succeed Fred Ptener,
who resigned on the superstition, said
to Ice fancied, that he was not wanted
by Decatur.
The coming meeting to settle the
question of president and also to adj
nit the new towns, Joliet and Du-
buque. may be held in this city. \
strong effort will be made by the To-
cal devotees of the game to secure the
acceptance of an invitation. and the
visitors will be assured a hospitable
greeting.
Much interest is being taken
around the circuit in Il carnival being
arranged by the Rockford manage
ment to be given in that place in Jan
uary, the idea being to raise funds for
next season. 1t is likely that several
enthusiasts from this city will attend.
All of the cities in the league will
have to place themselves upon first
class financial footing preliminary to
the opening of next season.

FINISHES ITS WORK
County Board Adiourns After
Having Disposed of Much
Business.
MIDDLE CLARIFIED
Matters Not Attended to Are LefC in
the Hands of the Com.
mittee.

The county board yesterday com
pleted its business and adjourned,
having in the two days session held
this week effected a satisfactory adj
iustment of the most pressing of the
matters that demanded attention.
Power to unravel the remaining
tangles was delegated to the finance
committee and that body will have
more or less business, about the coun-
tY seat for some time to come.
The bond of County Treasurer Ly-
ons was not approved for the reason
that it was not presented, but the
amount of the security to be demand
ed was fixed at 100000, a reduction
of 100000 from what il has been.
The finance committee was given
power to approve of the security
when presented. Whether the cOun-
ty is to assume the cost of furnishing
the bond was left open. Mr.. Lyons
has received n telegram stating that
the bond will be furnished.
Money for Present Needs
Arrangements were made to secure
funds that will relieve the stress Gre
ated by the bills allowed by the
were instructed to turn over to the
treasurer such sums as they have on
hand and the finance committee took
means to obtain additional cash. The.
was also empowered to
collect all back foreign fees, Il course
that is fraught with difficulties. This
matter came up ON the following re
port submitted by the committee:
Your committee ON finance would
report that they were informed that
the Office of sheriff earns quite sum
of money for serving foreign papers.
and that none of said money was ever
turned over to the county; therefore
YOUR committee caused several wit
nesses to appear before them and
found by their testimony that book
was kept by the cX-sheritf, l.. f.
Cralle. in which said earnings were
entered. We therefore invited Mr..
Cralle to meet with us. and were in
formed by him that he knew of no
book. but if your committee could as
certain the amount due the county
he would gladly turn the same over
to the county. Mr.. Crallc says that
all such fees had always been retain
ed by his predecessors, and he knew
no different trf".r r.
The collecting Of back foreign fees
will involve great deal of work if
is accomplished, for the
records of the amounts collected
have not been turned over to the
board and it is not positively known
that any have been kept in the past.
The sources from which these fees
have been derived are as various as
the points of the compass and trac-
ing them out would be practically

Tax Ferrets Employed.

Another source of future revenue
was looked to i'm the final acceptance
Yesterday afternoon of an amended
proposition by the Springfield Ac-
counting company for the examining
of the records with a view of ferret
ing out the taxable property that has
not been listed. 1t is understood that
the accounting company has quite a
list of taxable property in this coun-
ty now to turn in as the result of OPP
erations in adjoining counties.
The proposition follows: For an
investigation to determine whether or
not any personal property, subject to
taxation in your county, has been
withheld. overlooked. or omitted. or
from any other cause has not been
listed and assessed. and to determine
whether or not there are any monies
due your county from any other
source. We propose to make a care
full and diligent search for such omit
ted and unassessed property, and re.
port to the proper officials for as
sessment, and entry on the tax list,
all such property, if any, which we
shall find to exist. and also make
careful and diligent search for money
due your county from any other
source. All expenses incurred in said
investigation, including attorneys
fees and costs of litigation, or any
other costs that may arise, to be paid
by us, we to give bond of $4,000, with
approved surety to secure the county
from any liability from such costs.
Your committee to pay for such SER
vices sum equal to so per cent of
the county's share of all monies col
lected as a result of our investigation.
Payment for our services to be made
as fast as monies are paid into the
treasury, as a result of our said inves-
tigation and work. The clerk to be
ordered to issue to us a warrant on
the treasury for any sum of money
due us upon properly verified ac-
counts being placed with him."
