MOLINE CITIZEN OF $50

Night Captain McCabe, on answer
ing a telephone call from Twenty
fourth street about IL o'clock Satm-
day night, found Moline man who
claimed lac had been relieved q: S60
by colored woman. The story of
the victim was that he was waiting
for a car on the corner of Twenty
fifth street and Fifth avenue when the
woman came up to him and opened n
conversation. Drawing near she de
clared her hands were cold ami slip

woman had gone the MOlineite dis
covered his loss and he called an
officer.
The night captain. after some
skirmishing about. finally rounded up
colored woman near the viaduct
and she was identified by the victim
as the one who had robbed him.
When she was searched. however, no
money was found on her person. and
the man. giving up all hope of again
seeing his money, asked the officer to
release the prisoner. The latter was
accordingly taken to the viaduct end

SILK TO BE IN FAVOR
THE COMING SEASON

If there is anything in prophecy
womankind will go clad in silk attire
during the coming season. Silk man
ufacturers are keeping their looms
running. and silk buyers are eN-
panding their ideas and their orders
reports the New York Sun.
''Yes, this is going to he Il huge silk
wear" said the head clerk of one of
the most important wholesale houses
i'm New York. How do l know ?
Partly by intuition, | fancy. y silk
man cultivates sixth sense. But
he cultivates what is ordinarily call
ed horse sense, too.
Handsome brocades and heavy
silks of all kinds are showing little
more life than they did. but it is in
the call of MORE that we seen the re-
suit of the Louis movement. Women,
| for some reason or other, shy at the
gorgeous fancy silks, but they want
to keep in line with the Louis eff
fccts. So they call for heavy but
suppc silk in plain color. Moire. is
the answer.
'All the manufacturers are turning
out quantities of watered silk, es-
pecially i'm white and i'm black; and
the buyers are placing big orders.
| If the women should change their
minds or ball< there will be the deuce
to pay.
There's lot of MORE velours, silk
and cotton, being turned out. too. for
the woman who can't pay the price
for silks. The Liberty satins have
literally run the heavy satins out of
the market and are apparently here
to stay.
The satin foulards will have as
great a vogue as ever and silk gren-
adines are coming along with a rush.
Grenadines and other thin sheer ma
teriaIs will be worn even more than
last season. and that means a boom
in silk trade.
You've no idea what a figure lin
ings cut in the silk business of the
world. Not many years ago. il was
the exceptional woman who had her
heavy dresses silk lined. Now al
most every woman of even moderate
| income does it.
Then the rise of the sheer goods,
nets. canvas. etc, positively requir-
ing silk lining, helped the good work
along. The factories can't turn out
taffetas fast enough. Taffeta is cock
of the walk in the silk business.
Manufacturers have tried to sub
stitute something for it, to introduce
novelties The women cling to taft
feta and frown at the substitutes.
It's queer that weave of silk that
lay dead so long as taffeta did could
rise from its ,ashcs and conquer the
silk world.
II believe that on a conservative
estimate at least IS per cent of the
silk consumed in this country is taft
feta, and most of il is made right
here. No one can beat us on it or on
any other silk save the high grade
fancies Woven at Lyons. When il
comes to beauty of design and elab-
Grafton, Lyons leads the world.
.'They take more time 10 do things
over there. Labor is cheaper. They
can afford to run great many hand
looms, and silks involving highly in
tricate designs and multitude of
colors for hand looms.

Nathan Hale, Il play built around
the revolutionary character of that
name, was given its first Rock Island
presentation at the Illinois theatre
last night, with the result that those
who weGp present were brought
closer to the schoolmastcr-patrio
whose great sacrifice for his country
should serve as an everlasting lesson
and inspiration to the generations
that are to come. The play is staged
with a fidelity to text that is indeed
creditable to the author, while How
ard Kyle, who essays the title role,
has surrounded himself by capable
company. Miss Florence Smyth. as
Nathan's sweetheart. making a most
lovable character. Nathan Hale is
divided into four acts and six scenes,
each of which has a distinct and pic
turesque setting. The action of the
play is supposed to take place be-
tween April 1915 and September 1776,
during the period covering the time
from when Nathan Hale resigns his
position as schoolmaster to engage
in the struggle for American free
dom. until his capture and melam-
choly execution by the British. The
first scene shows the Union gram
mar school house in New London,
Conn. where, among the pupils Is
found Alice Adams, the sweet young
girl who has won the heart oe the
teacher. Nathan Hale, and who af-
forwards plays such conspicuous
part in the romantic feature of the
drama. Tie final scene is one of

he utters his last immortal words,

DAMAGES FROM WAR.

United States to Pay Except Where
 Loss Might Have Been Prevented.
 Washington, Nov 25.-The Spanish claims commission has enunciated the principles by which it will be govern ed in passing upon the various demur- rers which have been submitted to it in connection with the claims now un- der consideration on account of the war between Spain and Cuba. The general basis is laid down in assuming the responsibility which would other wise have been Spain's that the United States is bound to pay all claims for which Spain could have been held. It is further held that the insurrection in Cuba had gone beyond the control of the Spanish government and that it was not responsible for damages done to foreigners by the insurgents. If, however. it be shown that the Spanish authorities might have prevented the damage done in any particular case hy the exercise of due diligence the that Spain was liable.
 The commission announces further that it will take judicial notice that lllC #lCuJdu l1lSuETetIIOu pdSSEll ONeE the first beyond the control of Spain and so continued until the Intervention of the United States It is further held that Spain was entitled to adopt such war measures for the recovery of her authority as are sanctioned by the rules and usages of International war fare. If. however. it be alleged and proved in any particular case that the acts of the Spanish authorities or sol diers were contrary to such rules and usages, Spain will be held liable in that case. This decision does not. however. go to the extent of saying that the recommendation orders were legitimate acts of war. There is to be further argument on that subject.
 Ex-Senator Chandler. chairman of the commission and Commissioner Maury dissent from the rules adopted.

BOOM FOR CANAL STREET.
New Street May Be Laid Out from
 Bank to South Main.

s
 Property owners on Canal street and that whole section bounded north on Grand street, south on Meadow street, east on South Main street, west on Bank street, are very much inter ested in rumor relative to proposed real estate deal which will revolution ize that section and make property so valuable that people who own any thing there will be wealthy if things go their way. The scheme is to run 8 street from No 273 Bank street to Canal street and thence to South Main street opposite the Italian church. It would not be much of job to open the street. for with the exception of the frame building on Bank street be- side the passway that leads to the rear of the old Monitor Hose Co.'S house, the way is clear now and is used considerably by men and teams. But it is different from Canal street to South Main street. The line would have to go through a couple of brick blocks, but this would be small mat ter compared with the value of the land that would be opened up. One of the property owners along the proposed layout told reporter of the Democrat to-day that certain parties are willing to take hold of the project provided they can secure options on ali the abutting property. He said that John Gaffney was interested i'll the specula- tion and that if things turn out all right street will run there before long that will be a greater public ben eft and more desirable business place than Center street. It is certain that there is a large tract of land in that locality that would be all right for business purposes provided a street were cut through it, but whether q company could get hold of all the land at suitable prices is another mat ter. The city would welcome the change from the standpoint of sani- tation, if for no other reason, and be- sides it would be big boom in a fi- nancial way. It would help the as- sessors to put the grand list beyond the $5O,OOO,OO0 mark and would re- lieve the congested conditions about what is commonly known as the "Canter." It is said )that the pur- chase by Uncle Sam of site for the pestoffice has prompted real estate men to look towards the Canal street property, but whether this is so or not is nothing more than conjecture Any way owners of property have been approached about the scheme and it is probable that an effort will be made to push it through.

Game of tsTag" Broken Up By Terri ble Work of a Street Gar.
 New York, Nov 25.-While playing tag on the street in front of his home with some other children of his own age, Frank Gants, 1 years old, the son of MT and Mrs Alfred Gants, of 161st street and Summit avenue, was run over by a car and killed, the head be- ing severed completely from tse body. His mother came out at the uproar and only knew at first that some one had been injured. Calling her little son by name, she pushed her way through the crowd till she saw the ter rible thing that had occurred. Her grief oyercame her and she had to be carried back into the house. Late at night the father, who is a salesman, came home to learn of his shocking bereavement.
 The boy had run out into the mid dle of the street in the course of his play, and was so intent in watching his companions that he did not see an approaching car. When, at last, the changing of the gong aroused him the sound seemed only to confuse him, for eye witnesses said afterwards he might have escaped had he run. He semed frozen with fear and stood stock still till the buffer struck him and flung him under the wheels.
 The motorman of the car was Will liam IT. Mace of No 1865 Dawson street. He was locked up in the Mor- risania station charged with homicide. He said he did not see the boy until it was too late to stop his car. and though he rang his gong repeatedly the boy made no effort to get out of the way

 Plant and Cultivate Economically.
 Washington, Nov 25.-The annual report of w. H. Elliot, commissioner of the interior for Porto Rico. an- nounces substantial progress in the island. Much attention is being paid to road building and bridge construc- .tiop. The Porto Rice ns are being instructed what to plant and how to cultivate most economicallEA Sani- tary rules and regulations have been introduced and the people encouraged in habits of cleanliness and correct liv- ing and also assisted in matters af- fecting trade and commerce at home and abroad. Concerning public lands, the report says the various de- partments of the federal government will be asked to make known their wishes concerning properties at pres ent occupied by or needed for their ac- commodation. The bulk of the prop erty involved comprises lands of little present value, but which may become salable if the island continues to de- velOp and prosper. These lands should be surveyed and their boundar- ies determined. It is hoped that all questions will be settled and presfden- tial action secured in time for the legis- lative assembly of Porto Rico to pro- vide for the disposition of island prop erty at the session to be held during January and February, 1903.
