of his life fiickered out very soon
after the drop fell.
Bernabe was in a bad way. He
was so terrified that ne could scarce

sisted up the stairs. and when the
black cap was put on him he tainted

After the work of the eXecutioner

Two young sports from Moline yes
terday rented cutter and horse
from Peter Nelson. the Moline livery
man. and started out TO do the three
cities. Along towards evening they
found themselves in the lower end of
5his city and feeling pretty fine. They
left their horse in front of a saloon
IN lower Second avenue while they
went in to get drink. The horse
II proved, was not as nearly all in as
his drivers, and when left alone he
concluded to go home as quickly as
possible. At Sixteenth street and
Second avenue a young man succeed
ed in bringing the animal to a stop,
and by that time the cutter was in
worse shape than either the horse or
the drivers. The back was gone and
the dash was broken. The outfit was
taken TO Cradles livery barn, where
later in the evening the young men
called for il and took it home.

have besct the path of James +. Am
ent. erstwhile superintendent of
schools here. i'm official capacity as
president of the normal school at
Alva. Okla. are about to come to Il

the consequences to the institution.
Rock Island citizens have not for
gotten the stormy times that charac-

hot water during much of The time
he has been located as the head of

held that Gov. Jenkins, who preceded

BUSINESS MEN PLEAD
FOR LETTER CARRIERS

business men cf the country are
apparently taking considerable inter
est in the affairs of the letter car
riers. For some years these public
servants have been endeavoring to
secure an increase i'm their pay and
an annual leave of thirty instead of
fifteen days. The postmaster gener-
al has recently issued an order pro-
hibiting letter carriers coming to
Washington TO lobby for the legisla-
ton they desire. SAYS the Chicago
Tribune's Washington correspondent
The business men appear to have
espoused the cause of the carriers
and are endeavoring to bring infiu-
cnce 10 bear upon congress to enact
favorable legislation. The merchants
of the country are making their in
fluence felt by means of personal let
tiers. many of which are being receiv-
cd here. and not by the ordinary pc
tition, which is generally received
with scorn at the capitol.
The writer's of these letters dwell
upon the comparatively small wages
paid the carriers. the highest rate
being $1,000 wear. and the hard
work and long hours of these men.
The law forbids the carriers to work
longer than eight hours a day. This
is done so as TO avoid claims for over
time, which. in the past. have
amounted TO large sums.
While the letter carriers are for
hidden TO work more than eight
hours. they do not work eight CON
secutive hours, but their time * d.
vided in such way that many of
them begin at ) o'clock in the morn
ing and work until the same hour in
the afternoon. although between de
Hveries they are off duty. The prac-
teal result of the arrangement Of
hours * that the carriers are really
on duty at least twelve hours day.
