London Feb. l0.-King Edward
VII gave an hours audience Friday

Majesty chatted freely with Mr.. Scwab
on the friendship of England for the
United States and the eood feeling
that is manifested between the work.
ingmen Of the two countries.
British public opinion is considerab-
ly.wrought up over the revelations
concerning the purchase OF supplies
for the South African army that have
been made in Parliament last week.
Prominent men including Hon. Cecil
Rhodes and others are implicated. 1t
has been shown that they profitted a
coed deal by the money expended.
The principal way in which money
has been made was in selling the con.
tracts.
A tablet has just been erected in
the vault of St. Peters church in the
Tower of London recording that there
we're deposited in the vault two chests
containing the remains OF many dis
tinguished people who had been be.

bones Of Lady Jane Grey, her husband,

prices to be based as nearly as we DOS
sibly can get at it, on the actual cost
ofproduclng work and putting same
I. O. b. cars at our works. Second,
by estabIi' hing Granite Exchange
through which all estimates on granite
work shall pass, and also all contracts,
for the purpose Of seeing that 40 prices
is quoted or work taken below our es.
taolished scale of prices.
This will not do away with our pres
ent competition, for IL will be neces.
sary for manufacturers to add their
profit, as they estimate same. to the
established scale Of prices: but it will
do away with the mistakes and errors
that are now made, which we find are
a large item in the course Of the year,
and we believe that this will be as ben
icial to the trade as to the manufact-
Urer, for there has been mauv instan.
ceS where manufacturers have quoted
prices to the trade on certain piece
OF work, the dealer would sell the work
based on that price, offer the manu-
facturer the work at price quoted, and,
In the meantime, the manufacturer
had found out that he bad made
a mistake and would refuse to I'LL
the order, or purposey delay the fll-
ing OF same, compelling the dealer to
buy the work Of someone else for a
much larger figure. Under our new
plan. there will be no excuse for any
manufacturer doing this, for he will
be assured that he will at least get
the money back that the work costs
him.
We expect this plan to 60 il to e.
feet March 1st, and all contracts AMI
orders not placed by that time will
have to go through this Cffi'
While it is not our present inten
tion to raise the price of the manu'ac-
tured product, Incidentally there is ros
doubt but what 1t wi raise the price
from 10 to Is per cent. Therefore,
we ask that dealers will govern them
selves accordingly, as we cannot ac-
cept any orders after March 18th on
estimates now being made in the past
unlesS same are in accordance with
scale of prices now established.
We ask aud hope to merit your
hearty co operation in this movement.
While, as we say, the price may he
raised small PERCENTAGE, we expect
that this will be counterhaanced by
giving you better service, better ma
terial, and better quality OF work.
Also by wedding out many OF the ir-
res ponsible parties who are now yeura
worst competitors, as all they make
above cost Of foundation, freight and
setting up is clear gain.

MR.. WEYERHAEUsER GIVES
$4,000 MORE TO LIBRARY

The Rock Island library board is
in receipt of an additional donation
of $4,000 to apply on the new library
building from Frederick Weyer-
haueser, whose liberality made the
erection of the building now in
course of erection primarily possible.
The gift is handsome one, and it
will be put to good use in furthering
the original plans, which had been
found rather too elaborate owing to
the rise in the price of building ma
terial after they were adopted. The
money came in response to an appli-
cation of the board for loan of
81, 500, which was needed to be paid
the contractors on the architects es-
innate.
Mr.. Weyerhaueser originally gave
outright toward the library the sum
of $4,000. and supplemented this
with loan of $4,000, the sole pro-
vision being that the city set aside
certain amount for the maintenance
of the institution. F. c. \. Denl<mann
recently gave $500 toward the en-
terprise, and this, with the amount
last received, will carry out the orig
inaI designs and give Rock Island a
home for its library equal to that of
any city of its size in the west.

PEORIA employees ARE

which constitutes the first official in
timation the average employee has
had of change in ownership of the
road.
No circulars have been received
making any alteration in the opera
ting methods or the personnel, and it
is said none is expected Immediately.
In fact, the impression seems to pre-
vail generally that the present ar
rangements will be maintained in all
departments till the Rock Island
road makes whatever. if any, provis-
ion is contemplated for St. Louis-St.
Paul service through this city.
Until that time, it is also believed,
there will be no freight house erect

prepared.
