MOLINE MENTION

The 14-year-old daughter of John
Doerling, fifth avenue and Fourth
street, left home late yesterday
afternoon ostensibly to visit a friend
whose home is in the west part of
the city, but nothing having been
heard from her since and the fact
that man who boarded at the girls
house has also disappeared has led
TO the belief that there has been an
elopement.
When Miss Doerling failed to return
home last night, her parents became
uneasy and made inquiry for her at
the home of the friend she said she
intended calling on, and when it was
learned she had not been there
search was Immediately instituted
with the result that the conclusion
was reached she had left the city.
The young man whose whereabouts
since yesterday afternoon are un-
known to his friends, before his de-
parture drew $500 from a Moline
bank. He is understood to have
bought ticket for Des Moines and
the supposition is he had company in
the person of Miss DoerIing. The
relatives of the girl are greatly wor-
ried over her absence and are still
living in the hope that she will return
and give a satisfactory explanation
of her movements since leaving home
yesterday.
Yesterday Judge Adams heard ar
guments on the objections filed by
30 property-ownerS to the proposed
sewer and water main on the bluff.
The question of jurisdiction was at
stake, and the court overruled the
objections of w. r. Moore for the
DIRECTORS and sustained the conten-
ton as to jurisdiction by City Attor-
ney Kohler. Mr.. Moore then in be
half of the DIRECTORS, filed objections
on the question of benefits. These
will be heard by jury.

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Weator. both
well known in Moline, were victims
of runaway accident last Sunday
evening at Aurora, which resulted in
the fracture of one of Mrs. Realtors
legs in two places. Mr.. and Mrs.
Keator were returning to Aurora
from YorllvilIe in a buggy, when the
animal they were driving took fright
and ran away. The horse could not
be controlled and both of the occu-
pants jumped, Mrs. Keator alighting
in such a manner as to sustain a frac-
ture of one leg. Mr.. Keator escaped
injury.
Ed Smith. colored, wanted here for
attacking Charles Powers, also col
ored. with knife last month. was
apprehended, having returned to the
city after being absent since the
fracas. Smith had his hearing yes
terday before Magistrate Olson
and was bound over in the sum of
500 for assault with deadly wea
pom. The evidence developed that
both had been guilty of gambling and
warrants were sworn out against the
men on that charge. Powers pleaded
guilty and was ned so and costs.

The members of the hospital staff
of physicians met Tuesday evening at
the Windsor hotel and very inter
esting meeting was held but no def
mite action was taken on anything
that was brought up before the meet
ing. The raising of the fee bill
caused the most comment and in the
near future another meeting VIII be
held, when probably the fee bill will
be raised as several of the physi-
clans are in favor of it.

Every bid on the construction of
the new Carnegie library building in
Moline exceeds the amount of the
gift of Mr.. Carnegie, even for the
completion of only part of the
building. The bids were opened by
the library board at its meeting, and
the matter was left entirely in the
hands of the building committee.
