TO IMPROVE THE ROAD
Rock Island Ladies Raising Funds
to Better Condition of
Twelfth Street.

Rock Island ladies are taking the
lead in movement-a most COM
mendable one-looklng to the inn
proving of Twelfth street from the
termination of the pavement at
Eighteenth avenue so that il will be
passable in all seasons of the year to
the entrance of Chippiannock Gene
terry.
For years in the wet seasons it has
been almost impossible to make the
trip over this highway after leaving
the pavement at the city limits. and
the result has been most trying eX-
periences for funeral professions, to
say nothing of visits denied those
having loved ones buried there.
So now the ladies are devising
means with which to raise money to
place the street i'll the desired condi-
ton.

STRANGER PLEADS OWN
CASE AND IS ACQUITTED

George Wright. the river man who
was arrested yesterday morning for
causing trouble and seeking to take
possession of "Mosquito's' saloon on
Twentieth street, proved to be some
thing of Tartar when it came to
trying him ON the charge of vag-
rancy.
Wright admitted he was drunk.
but declared he was no vagrant, and
he refused to plead guilty. He took
vigorous charge of his own case and
demanded jury trial. Then he
had Il number of the crew of the
steamer WcycrhaUeser summoned to
prove that ne had recently worked
on that boat. He examined the iur-
urS as to their competency to sit ON
his case and questioned the witnesses
in manner that indicated some past
experience in court and finally closed
with plea that brought tears to the
eyes of his auditors.
The jury was not long in bringing
i'm a verdict of acquittal, for which
most gracious thanks were extended.
At this stage of the proceedings Mag
istratc Johnson took hand and in
formed Wright that if he was caught
making a nuisance of himself about
town again he would be denied the
right to a trial by jury and given the
full limit OF the law. Wright there
upon promised 10 leave town. Officer
Mccarthy. who made the arrest, was
very much disgruntlcd, as were the
other members of the force who had
taken part in the chase in which near
Is all the hoboes in town were round
ed up yesterday.
The idea of giving a bum jury

To Have Direction of Western Por
ton of Rock
Island.

Al the meeting of the board of di-
rectors OF the Rock Island q Peoria
road held at the general offices this
morning Al. z. Greenough was chosen
director and vice president of the
road in place of II. s. Cable, whose
resignation went into effect today.
Mr.. Greenough was also elected vice
president of the Coal Valley Mining
company, a position heretofore held
by Mr.. Cable.
NJ. y. Patterson. general passenger
agent, was made treasurer in place
of MIR. Grecnough, and II. IL. Suther-
land, of Horton, Kas., was called to
the position of superintendent.
Mr.. Sutherland has been trainmas-
ter on one of the Kansas divisions of
the Rock Island road. lie also served
as division superintendent on the
Union Pacific prior to becoming con
nected with the Rock Island.
Leaves for New Post.
II. s. Cable left at noon today for
the west to assume his new duties at
Topeka, Kas., with the Rock Island
road. He will have charge of the
lines of the Rock Island system west
of the Missouri river, comprising
some 1900 miles.
The appointment of Mr.. Cable is
part of a plan by which the operat-
ing department of the road is to be
recognized. The lines are divided
into two grand divisions separated
by the Missouri river. Mr.. Cable Will
have charge of the western grand di-
vision. and w. VI. Hobbs of the east
ern portion. The whole will be I'M
der the direct charge of General Man
.ager Goodnow. The plan is one sim
liar to that of other large systems.
An Important Work.
The portion of the system over
which Mr.. Cable assumes charge is
growing rapidly and large increase
in the mileage will be added by the
completion OF the neE divisions now
in course of construction. In all hi:
railroad work Mr.. Gable has shown
an aptitude for operation and the
new field will give him scope for the
full exercise of his powers. Rock
Island friends feel certain of his sue
cess in whatever capacity he may be
called upon to fill. as he not only pos
sesses the requisite knowledge and
force to put it into operation. but he
is also popular among all classes, a
qualification of greatest value to Il
railroad man of high position.
Mrs. Cable will remain in the city
for several weeks, or until her hus-
band becomes settled in his now po-
sition.

On Thursday, August 90, 1902, oc-
CURED the first reunion of the family
of Hollingsworth, at Tioga. There
were only few present. but it is hop
ed that this was only a small begin
ming of greater things. The announce
ments had been out but short time,
and consequently the plans for the re-
union were not very widely known. A
bountiful repast was spread at noon,
and all present partook freely of the
good things, after which Harvey ].
Moore was appointed chairman, and
the meeting was called to order. It
was then voted to make the organiza-
ton permanent, and the following Of
ficers were elected for the ensuing
year: President, Ira Hollingsworth
of Rose Hill; secretary, Harvey J..
Moore, of Butler; treasurer, A. w. Hol-
lingsworth, of Rose Hill. 1t was de-
cided to hold a reunion each year, the
next one to be held on Thursday, Aug.
81 ,1903,at Tioga. Mrs. Anton Fischer of
Ollie was chosen to prepare program
for next year. The secretary was then
ordered to issue general invitation
to all persons whose names are Hol-
llingsworth, or who are descendants of
Hollingsworths to be present at this
meeting. There were about forty-five
present, and all enjoyed themselves
thoroughly. The secretary would be
glad from anyone who desires to at
tend, or who has any suggestions to
make concerning it, Harvey j. Moore,
