WORTHLESS CHECKS
Are Passed by Frank ID. Harmon, a
Rock Island Switch
man.

1t developed today that Frank d.
Harmon. who yesterday disposed of
la worthless check for $50 at Lou Miz-
er's saloon, also succeeded in getting
rid of another check for $24 at the
Casino saloon on the corner of Third
avenue and Twenty-fourth street.
Harmon has been employed in this
city as a switchman on the Rock Is
land road and he was personally ac-
quainted with the proprietors of both
places where he worked his game.
The name of J. T. Truesdale was
signed TO the checks and Harmon
claimed the papers were pay checks.
There is no one by the name of
Truesdale now known to be connect
ed with the Rock Island road and dis
bursements to employees are made
over the hand of George II. Crosby,
secretary of the company. So far
Harmon has been very successful in
eIuding the efforts of the police to
locate him.

INCREASED COST NOT GREAT
Changes in Schedule VIII Not Make Money
Difference Expected.


The revised schedule of the Three
| league published in yesterdays Ar
gus has been submitted by President
Sexton to the different club managers
for approval. according to the ar
rangement made at the recent meet
ing in this city. The changes recon-
mended at that time are all embodied
in the new schedule and MIR. Sexton
has little doubt that il will meet with
favor-all about the circuit The table
of mileage has not yet been forward
ed by Franl1-A. Lander. of Rockford,
who prepared the schedule. but in n
letter To Mr.. Sexton he stated that
the additional mileage over that of
the other schedule will not exceed $50
miles in the case of any team and
generally it will be considerably less.
The average additional cost for the
transportation will be about $50 for
each team.
The first schedule was objected to
principally because the home series
for each team generally consisted of
n games. Under the arrangement
now proposed the average length of
the home series will be Is games.
Rock Island will play one series of
is games and that is one of the long
est provided for.

Promises That Have Been
Redeemed by the Republican Party

In national affairs the promises made
by the Republicans during the CAM
paigns of 1896 and 1900 have been
redeemed to the letter. Upon all the
fundamental questions which agitated
the country at that time the Republi
can party has given the people legls-
lation, which has had the effect of
either curing or mitigating the evils
complained of during those years.
The Republicans promised in 1896
that if Mckinley was chosen for the
presidency he would prove himself to
be "the advance agent of prosperity.
Immediately upon his election busi-
ness of all kinds began to revive tiom
the low estate into which it had
fallen during the administration of
Grover Cleveland. In less than a
year the industrial condition of the
country had demonstrated the truth of
Republican prophesy with as much
accuracy and certainty as if it had
been founded upon Divine inspiration.
There is hardly a line of CONNER
cial enterprise in the country that has
not felt the revivifying effects of Re-
publican legislation from that day to
this, resulting in a volume OF trade,
both domestic and foreign, that is
absolutely phenomenal passing all
records in its immensity.
1t is not necessary to go to Chicago
or New York to find out that trade
is better and that labor has found ade-
quate employment at renumerative
wages. 1t is apparent from one end of
the republic to the other; in the
country towns and agricultural regions
as well as in the cities Almost every
enterprise and industry from Maine
to California and from St. Paul to
New Orleans has experienced better
times for the last six years than ever
before, due largely to the benificence
of Republican administration
Farmers have had better prices for
their produce, merchants better
demand for their goods and manu-
facturers better market for their
wares.
In the larger cities the rush of bust
ness is unprecedented Manufacturers
and wholesale merchants finding ii
impossible in many instances to meet
the demands made upon them for
goods by their country customers.
