THE PLANS BEING PERFECTED
Different Lines to be Included In Scope
of the Noon Rest {.
Club.

Those who have in hand the estab-
fishing OF a Noon Rest club in this
city are canvassing for the sale of
tickets to prospective members in
order to insure n patronage at the
outset that will put the institution
on a paying basis. Those who have
tickets for sale are Miss Beatrice Os-
from, Central Union Telephone office:
Miss Carrie Webb. Woodman head Of
flee; Miss Mary Parker. Argus office;
Miss Alma Holt, Young d McCombs;
Miss jeanette Roderick. Times office:
Miss Sarah Fullerton and Miss Cora
Miller, McCabe's. and Miss Winnie
McAuliffe
The general aims and purposes OF
the club have been previously eX-
planned. but some of the features it
is proposed to include when the or
ganization is i'm working order have
not been mentioned 1t is proposed
to pattern the club after some of the
Lend-a-Hand and other societies
made up of ladies employed in the
business sections of other cities now
in successful operation. Not only
will the noon hours be devoted to the
but it is proposed to take UP various
lines of work calculated to increase
the accomplishments of those who
avail themselves of the opportunity
offered
Eventually, if present plans are car
ried out. classes will be formed in
cooking, French, German, physical
culture and other branches of instruc-
ton for which a demand is found.
These will be given in courses at IN
nominal cost to members. 1T is be-
lieved that lessons in cooking can be
given so that the cost for ten periods
of instruction will not exceed 81 per
member. A local minister has offer
ed his services as instructor of a
class in French when one is formed
1t is also the intention to take up Il
series of lectures or short talks from
men and women who are particularly
fitted to present given topics. The
officers of the club have already been
promised help in this direction.
Those interested are investigating
the work of other clubs formed on
similar lines in cities both near and
far so that when the necessary finaII-
cial encouragement is secured they
viii be ready TO at once proceed on n
safe basis. They are also looking
about for nice fiat suitably located
for club quarters.

WILL STOP THIEWNG
Rock Island Building Contractors
to Adopt Protective
Measures.
HEAVY LOSERS DURING SEASON
Tools and Materials StoIen-An OFF,
Ger to BE EN-
pIoyed.

Contractors engaged in building in
this city complain that during the
past summer losses from vandalism
in buildings i'm course of construction
have been unusually heavy. There
are various articles and materials
that must be left nights and Sundays
at the place where they are used and
the pilfering of these has been ear
ried on TO such an extent that the
losses from that source must be taken
into account in figuring on contracts.
Nails are taken in large quantities,
in some cases whole kegs being gradu-
ally mined from buildings. Plumbers
have been heavy losers. Many have
been the instances of theft of lead
pipe and other materials that have
been reported to the police, and many
Others have been born by the owners
in silence. During the summer not a
single thief has been convicted Of
this sort of offense. The work is at
tributed mainly to boys. and they are
particularly difficult to detect at their
mischief.
\ number of building contractors
have gotten together and have set
on foot a movement for self protec-
ton. They propose to contribute n
given sum monthly to be expended in
hiring someone to make il his bust
ness to keep an eye on buildings in
course of construction. 1t is be-
lieved that this is the only method
by which this species of depreciation
can be put an end to.

Malicious Mischief.
Cliff Esberg and Fred Voss. two
travelling sign painters, were in Justice
Clark's court Thursday evening,
charged with malicious mischief, to
which they entered pleas of guilty and
accepted sentences of ten days in the
&C unty Jail rather than pay fines of $50
ard costs. The two men are employees
of the Waller Sign Company, of Oma-
ha, and have been in the city several
days painting signs on the walls of va
rious buildings. The two men are
simply doing the work contracted by
an advance agent. and have been
jpainting signs on the walls of buildings
such as the owners desired. for the
privilege of advertising a certain brand
OF soap in connection Herewith. The
trouble arose when they arranged with
one of the tenants of the Goethe Odd
yellow block, on the corner of First
avenue and State street, to paint a
sign thereon, the agent falling
to secure the permission of the
lodge trustees. The wall is of pressed
brick and the lodge members would not
have given the desired permission for
any amount of money. After the mat
ter was Investigated the warrants were
issued on complaint of Mr.. Henry
Mayer, of Goethe lodge. The men are
not really to blame, as they We're
working under the orders of the adj
vance agent and the firm by which
they are employed. 1t is possible the
Omaha house will secure their release,
but the lodge will have good grounds
for a damage suit, as it is claimed the
paint can not be removed without
damage to the pressed brick.

BLAcKM,oRE-DAkIN CASE.
A Letter of Apology to Mr.. slaokmore

A Letter of Apology to Mr.. 5lackmore
The Statement.
The State Center Enterprise gives
the following statement from parties In
interest in the settlement of the Black
more-Dakin SANDER suit:
Settlement OF the Blackmore-Dakin
SANDER suit was made as "A surprise
last Thursday afternoon just after the
jury had been empannelled and every
thing was in readiness for the COM
mencement of the trial in the district
court. BY the terms of the agreement
each party pays his own costs. This
disposition of the case has met with
the general approval of the friends of
both parties. Had the trial proceeded
it is likely there would have been a
pretty mess, because both parties had
summoned a large number of witnesses
and made preparations for a strenuous
fight to the finish.
"At the request of attorneys for
plaintiff Mr.. Dakin, after the matter
had been Strengthened up sent to Mr..
Blackmore an apologize letter, of
which the subjoined is true copy:
'Marshalltown, Ia, April II, 1902
S. Il. Blackmore, ESqr., MarShalltOWn,
Ia. Dear Sir:--Referring to the con-
troversy between us on or about Feb
ruary 1st, 1902, what was said at the
time was in the heat of personal al
tercation relative to the vacation of a
hotel. I have no recollection of apply
ing to you any terms inconsistent with
your standing as a good citizen, and it
was not intended to impute to YOU the
commission of any public ofrense.
Yours truly, M. G. DAkIN.'
When Mr.. Dakin was seen Thurs
day evening in regard to the results
attained he gave out the following
statement for publication:

evident that he entertained no malice

in the matter In fact it seemed as
if what disposition there was to press
the suit was on the part of others than
the parties to the case. l was glad tc
meet Mr. Blacl1more half way and to
write him letter which has bee
given to the newspapers for publica :
ton. When the controversy arose al
the hotel we were both excited. The
best thing for us and for the COM
munity in general is that we drop the
controversy instead of dragging oul
friends as witnesses into a long winded
law suit that would cause hard feel
ings and would not benefit any ons
except the lawyers.
We have obtained from the records
a copy of the stipulation. and 1t as fol-
lows.
"In the district court of Iowa, in
and for Marshall county, S. T. Black
more vs. NJ. C. Dakin, This cause is
this day settled and dismissed, each
party to pay his own cost
That tells the whole story of the
settlement and dismissal of the case
Mr. Dakin did not pay nor agree 10
pay MIR. Blackmore $500, nor any othe'
sum- But he did aid Mr.. Blackmore
financially by buying for cash a note
given, not by Blackmore. but to Black
more by another party, and by taking
Mr.. Blackmore's secured note for an
other amount. That is all there is OF
the $500 story. This settlement was. OF
course, between the parties and does
not appear on the record, but In view
of fha ;,npraSSjOn created that Mr..
Dakin paid $500 for settlement 1T Is
only justice to him that the facts be
made public. He paid nothing"
