LOCAL OFFICE SHOWS UP
WELL IN POSTAL REPORT

The report of the first assistant
postmaster general, Robert j. Wynne,
for the fiscal year ending June 50,
1902, just issued. contains some facts
and figures in which the Rock Island
postotiice appears with prominence.
particularly in the tables dealing with
the money order business.
In order to provide for the payment
of orders there is kept at New York
"A fund against which the different of
fees in which n large amount of mon
ey is handled in this manner may
draw. In the table showing the
amounts kept in reserve for the diff
ferent offices Rock Island is found in
fifth place with 100000. Buffalo
Washington, indianapolis and Phila.
dciphia are the cities above.
In the table showing the amounts
that postoffices in the different cities
have drawn against such funds Rock
Island stands second with $1,145, 900
Buffalo being first.
In addition TO the reserve kept al
New York the Rock Island postoffice
is allowed to keep on hand in local
banks the sum of $4,000, and in this
respect il classes with such cities as
Baltimore, Indianapolis and Austin.
In order to handle the holiday bus

his present capacity FIVE times serv-
ing six terms Nearly "a generation
has passad since he. first assumed the
duties of office. In that time great
changes have taken place and the
title of judge has come to mean more
than it formerly did. The labor con-
nected with the position has practic-
ally doubled.
During the last quarter of CEN
fury nearly every piece of real estate
in the county has passed in some man

the time of the election was changed

Judge Adams is a native of Juniata
county. Pennsylvania, where he was
admitted to the bar in 1868. His pre-
paration for his career consisted of a
course at Jefferson college, now
Washington and Jefferson college, in
Washington county, Pennsylvania.
He spent one year in Wooster, Ohio,
removing to Rock Island in the fall of
1869. For five years after coming to
this city he was connected with the
firm of Osborn & Curtis. Later he
formed a partnership with NJ. Nj. Stur-

SEASON IS SUCCESS
While Augustana Has Lost Money

Recognition.
ALREADY PLANNING FOR 1903
Coach Paul CoIdrOn Asked to Con-
tinue in Charge of
Team.

The Athletic association at Angus
tana college is some $500 behind as
the result of this seasons operations.
That is, the amount expended has
exceeded the total receipts by that
sum.
Under ordinary circumstances this
might be taken as very discourage
ing outlook for the close of the first
fall in which an aggressive campaign
in this line of work has been conduct
ed Such, however, is not the case,
and the sentiment in favor of push
ing ON till Augustana attains stand
ing in athletics in keeping with her
reputation in purely intellectual at
ta;nments was never more pronounce
ed than now.
The financial showing is not con-
sidered discouraging in view of the
fact that the association mad practic-
ally nothing to begin with and has
therefore been to the expense of Sc
curing a complete outfit to equip the
football squad. 1t has all been up
hill work in getting the team in con-
dition and the patronage of the pub
lie could scarcely be expected to be as
great as it would had the school TAX
en- part prominently in athletics here
tofore. With the showing of this fall
to look back to the games in future
are expected to draw more liberal
patronage both from the tri-cities
and when the team is abroad.
Negotiations are already under way
to secure coach for another year.
Paul Coldson, who has done such
good work here this fall. has been
made an offer. and there are others
high in athletics who are under con
s1eration. The men are preparing
to put i'm an aggressive season in the
gymnasium with basketball, indoor
baseball, and an indoor track team
may be organized.
